Geesh...where have the Mums gone? Well, nowhere, really, for me, except maybe to CrazyLand. Everywhere, for Amy, and she started a full time job. Suffice it to say, we've been busy with life, and have not had much time to dedicate here, but we're trying to change that ASAP!!! What better way, than to bring you, dear readers, a contest for YOU. With Mother's Day coming up, wouldn't you love a fun, new purse to take around the town?

My friend Erin is the creator and designer of Rare Plumage purses and totes. I've carried my purse for over a year now. I love it! She does a beautiful job, and every purse is unique, cool, interesting, and solid! You can see her work on her blog.

Here's how the contest will work. Email "Purse Contest" to mumsthewurd[at]gmail[dot]com and tell us what colors/patterns you like in general. If you're the winner, we'll send you the one closest to your fave. Sound easy? That's because it is! The contest will run through May 1, at 5 PM CST.

Cleaning: 101

I have a confession. I am a terrible housekeeper! I don't like to clean. When I was young, I told my mom that I would have a maid. She asked what I would do if I couldn't afford one, and I said, "I'll just get a penny maid." :) Well, things have gotten more simplified for those of us that convulse at the word "housework"-especially when it comes to the WORST room to clean-the dreaded bathroom!

Scrubbing Bubbles has the Action Scrubber, which I love. Everything you need to clean your entire bathroom comes contained in a disposable sponge that attaches to a reusable handle. No more bottles of cleaning agents and bleach in this house. I've found the answer to my bathroom conundrum!

I don't know about you, but I have a really hard time cleaning the shower. Why does it seem like such a chore? Of all the housework, this is definitely my biggest obstacle (yes, even over the toilet!). Now that tub crayons have been introduced into my life, I've wanted to run and hide at the thought of cleaning the shower...until now! Today, I got the Automatic Shower Cleaner. Although I have not fully put it to the test, I have a feeling this product is going to be my dearest friend. A shower that's clean, that you don't actually have to clean??? Who could ask for anything better? I'm going to give it the 2 week challenge, and I'll let you know how it works out.

Have bathroom woes of your own? Never fear, because you can WIN an Action Scrubber of your very own. We've got two to give to the readers with the best child-related bathroom horror story. Leave your bathroom tale in the comments.* Winners will be chosen on Sunday, February 3rd, at 9 PM CST. Good luck!

*Anything inappropriate or just too disgusting will be deleted & disqualified. In the spirit of the contest, keep it "clean"!

Hanes for Kids!


I'm pretty sure you're all familiar with Hanes products. I think we've probably all been wearing something Hanes at some point in our lives practically since birth! Hanes has come a long way since we were kids though. Now, they offer children everything imaginable in all sorts of colors and patterns-undies, t-shirts, sweats, even fleece f0r boys, girls, babies, and toddlers! The great thing about Hanes is the low cost and durability. This stuff lasts forever!

Hanes sent Noel some Hanes socks and this "oc-pus" t-shirt that he loves. Unfortunately for him, the 2 pairs of sweatpants and 1 sweatshirt they sent him won't fit him for about 5 years...but, that's good news for you!

WIN IT!

Email mumsthewurd[at]gmail.com with the subject line "Hanes" if you'd like some colorful, long lasting, comfortable Hanes sweats in size 8. This contest will end Saturday, January 19, 2008, at 12 PM. Good luck!

Lots of Land's End Love

Clothes, bean bags, doll houses, diaper bags...you might say that Land's End has a little of EVERYTHING, even for kids! If you've never heard of this company, I guess you've been living under a rock for the past 45 years. I get their catalog regularly and always enjoy thumbing through it, wondering what I'd pick out if I lived somewhere cooler, or if i actually enjoyed camping. I have, however, enjoyed my fair share of Land's End products over the years. By far, one of the best purchases I have made in my lifetime is this down comforter that we've had for about 7 years now. If you purchase from Land's End, you're guaranteed quality and satisfaction forever. How great is that? Very few other companies anywhere offer such a guarantee.

To the left is Noel wearing his corduroy overalls and striped bodysuit. This outfit also came with a three pack of socks and some adorable little loafers, but bigfoot over here is in a 2-3T sock and a size 7 shoe, so they'll go in the "for Lennon" drawer. Truthfully, this whole outfit will be in that drawer very sooh, but it was just so cute I have to let him wear it as long as possible!

We also received this great bean bag that I already told you about in this post. We all love it! It's big enough for adults too, so we can all use it!

Now, on to the good news for you! Land's End wants to give you something! How about a diaper bag?!? We've got 3 girl pattern, and 2 boy. To enter, email mumsthewurd[at]gmail.com In the subject line, please put "Land's End", and tell us what you love that Land's End has to offer!

When you email us, please let us know your preference of boy or girl bag. Here's the skinny on the totes:














Pattern Diaper Bag Tote

  • Retails for $34.50
  • The colors and styles we’re sending you are the last available in the company. New colors and styles will be available this spring.
  • 6 mesh pockets inside to help you stay organized
  • Outside pocket to keep items easily accessible
  • Cushiony changing pad included
  • Full-zip top for extra security
  • Sturdy cotton canvas withstands daily use
  • 17 1/2"W (top), 12"W (bottom) x13 1/2"Hx6"D

Love your neighbor

I'm not even sure how to being this review because truthfully, I'm still awestruck with the impressive backgrounds of the owners of this fine company. The product they have to offer is extremely unique and I have a feeling these dolls are going to fly right off of the shelves (launched this past summer 2007).

I am talking about KidsGive, LLC and their product, Karito Kids. The message behind these dolls is a big one and it's one that I hope all parents will pass along to their children. The word "Karito" means "charity and love of one's neighbor". The Karito Kids dolls are here to help our children understand just that, to love their neighbors (across the street and across the world).

The importance of these dolls is to help our kids understand that there are others out there less fortunate and they can make a difference in someone's life.

These 21" tall, ethnically accurate, fashion play dolls (approx. age 11) are a child's dream come true (for children ages 6 and up). The five doll's characteristics are truly unique to their ethnicities; Latin, African, Asian, Mediterranean and Caucasian. You're sure to find something to love about each of them, as they each come with their own story book. Your child can learn so much and fall completely in love with them.

One of the best features about the phthalate-free vinyl play dolls is that once you've purchased one, you may log into the Karito Kids website with your child and activate their "donation". Their donation is actually 3% of the retail price of the doll and once activated, goes toward Plan USA and the cause of your child's choice (growing up healthy, learning, habitat or livelihood). You can sign up to receive email updates from Karito Kids and learn where your donation has gone to helping someone in need.

Owners Laura and Lisa graciously guided me through the activation process and showed me the technology side to the Karito Kids. I'm pretty sure I stood there, jaw dropped, as I watched them click through and show me the amazing features of these dolls and their easy-to-navigate website. It's truly incredible how "playing" has become something so interactive for kids with the entire world. There are many ways for our kids to become "best friends" with their Karito Kids' dolls and help those in need at the same time. The dolls, outfits and books are available for purchase HERE or in a store NEAR YOU.

With all that being said, we are very honored to have the opportunity to GIVE AWAY a Karito Kids doll!

Meet Pita Rena Corta. She is from Mexico City, Mexico and LOVES horses. She has a horse named Estrella and you can read about Pita's adventure with Estrella in the story book that comes packaged with her (a $99.95 retail value).

Ok, I'll say it. I'M JEALOUS. I want one of these dolls for my Hailey! But in the spirit of the season, we will gladly give one away. :)
