Mama inspiration

Literary Mama. This is a great site for fictional and journalistic takes on motherhood. Besides original work in the form of articles, stories and blogs it also has lists like this: good essential reads that may or may not be parenting related, but are probably easy to plow through even with the distractions of little ones.

And if you feel really inspired you can submit your own work!

SIGG water bottle discount code / coupon

I recently got one of these SIGG water bottles. They're great for storing water without it getting any odor or weird taste. Plus they're recyclable when they get to the end of their useful life, but I mostly just like them because they don't give the water an off taste (at least if you clean them daily. For the times when you forget to empty them and they get a little funny here's there best solution I've found to the problem).

If you order some online from the company, you can get 10% off by typing in this code:

They have them in sizes for kids, though my girls haven't quite gotten the hang of the spouts they use.

Netflix DVDs for toddler parents

So I hadn't thought of using my Netflix subscription in a parenting way - other than for total distraction. But I just found these potentially useful DVD's there (*I think you have to have a Netflix account to follow these links):

The Happiest Toddler on the Block
My Baby Can Talk: First Signs
I Can Go Potty: Potty Training for Boys and Girls
The Baby Whisperer
Infant and Child CPR

Lots of music and activity videos too. As a side note, I was heartened to see that after I clicked on "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" Netflix suggested I might like "The Flowering of Human Consciousness." Clearly I'm not the only one who puts Dr. Harvey Karp in the "slightly whoo whoo" category.
