My Favourite Things --for kids

Hello Internets!

The Thrifty Chic has asked us to write a post about our favourite things are. I thought I would post about some of my favourite things for kids.

Barenaked Ladies Snacktime CD:




Friends, listen to me....I would not steer you wrong on this one. If you like the Barenaked Ladies and also have kids, then you will like this CD. While the intent is that it is a children's CD, it appeals to all ages. I don't like my daughter to listen to a lot of music on the radio because I find the lyrics are not appropriate for her. At the same time, children's CD's can be "syrupy" after a while. This CD a happy medium that keeps us all singing in the car!


Laptop Lunch Box:





A Laptop Lunch is a North Americanized "Bento box". This means that you put your child's lunch components into each compartment (sandwhich in one "box", carrots in another "box", yogurt in another "box" and dip for carrots in another box). Then you shut the lid and it seals everything in (the yogurt and dip boxes have lids so that they don't spill). It is paperless and convenient way to pack your child's lunch. It also comes in different colours. My daughter's lunchbox is pink. :o)

Smilebox Creations



With Smilebox Creations, you can make free on-line scrapbooks that you can share with your friends. I have opted to buy the premium service which means that I can also print my scrapbook pages. They print in 8 X 8" size which is the perfect size for colour printing at home.


That's it for me. Now how about you...what are favourite things?

Oh, I love your new Christmassy look! I'll have to check out the Barenaked Ladies CD. I like their music, and I'm getting a bit tired of Twinkle Little Star and Baa Baa Black Sheep ;-)
Your other recommendations look interesting too, I'll have to check them out.

Oh, I love the laptop lunch boxes. My sister has them for her kids and I just drool over them! I've got to get up the nerve to pay that price (which really isn't bad once you figure in keeping it from year to year!)! But they are so great for so many reasons!
