AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE #5

These are the places of interest I've found in my recent BLOG HOPPING journeys!


#1 Fridge Box will make you laugh. Talk about making money the ingenious way. This is what it says on the site.

"Have you ever said to yourself, "I should have just gotten my kid a cardboard box..."? Have you ever felt guilty throwing away, or even giving away, a toy your child has grown tired of playing with, knowing it will end up in a landfill? Have you ever NOT wanted to think about what the funny smell coming off a plastic toy means for the environment, or how much lead your toddler might be ingesting from her Made in China rattle? If so, this is the site for you. Welcome to FridgeBoxWorld.com, home of the most eco-friendly toy you can buy: Fridge Box. Fridge Box is made in California, from recycled and post-consumer content. Our stickers are printed with water-based inks, and we even donate 1% of all sales to the environment through our partnership with OnePercentForThePlanet.org. Best of all, when your child is done playing with it, you can toss Fridge Box in the recycle bin, or shred it and compost it."

#2 Do you want a clock for your site? Then go to CLOCK LINK. "CLOCK LINK provides fashionable clocks that you can easily embed in your web page. All you need to do is simply paste the tag on your web page. Our clock will display the city name of your choice if you choose. You can also choose a time zone for your clock so it will show the correct time. Decorate your website with our clocks!"


#3 CHALK MATS "come with 2 pieces of Chalk and one sponge for erasing. There are pockets for these on the side. The writing surface, which is just like a chalkboard measures about 14 inches X 11 inches. You can write and draw then wipe clean to start again! They roll up and tie to make travel a breeze. Great for grandma's house, restaurants and many other places and uses!"

This stay at home mom also sells slings, wet bags and burp cloths. Check out the site. They are really very ingenious.

#4 I bet you have all wanted to know which TV mom you are most like. Well check out TICKLE for this and many other funny tests. When I took it, it said the following:

"Tracey, you are Claire Huxtable from The Cosby Show. You have high expectations for your children, just like you have high expectations for yourself. You've probably got your own life and your own career, but nothing is more fun than spending time with your family. You may be a professional woman, but you enjoy getting silly with the kids sometimes. You want good kids, but you also want them to be successful, smart individuals who can speak their minds — as long as they do so respectfully. While you enjoy being the kind of mom that your kids can come to with a problem, you are not afraid to set them straight when they're acting badly. When it comes to discipline, you try treat your kids like adults, talking calmly and coolly. And that's ultimately why they're going to grow up with such unwavering respect for you — as both a mother and a successful person."
