This is more of a buyer beware!  Alex got one of these for Christmas, because he LOVES to take and be in pictures!  It sounded great, and looked pretty easy to use!  Well after we took it back to the store because we could not get it to even turn on we came home to try out the new one.  Guess what?!  It didn't work either!

At this point I figured that it probable wasn't the stores fault so I called Fisher Price and they told me that they have had many complaints about this and that a lot of the battery holders are faulty.  He continued on to tell me that I should recieve a new one in 7 to 10 days and that should fix the problem.

I hope it does because Alex is very eager to use this camera.  Just a tip though if your child wants to use this camera right away I may not try a different one.  As a positive note about Fisher Price, they were very nice and very helpful and I don't hold this against them at all I just wrote thisto help out fellow parents.

I am sure you have all heard about many toxins that we have in our environment, but I bet you didn't realize just how many we have in our home.  Think about all the things we have in our homes, from cleaning supplies, paints, carpets, and even our curtains and couches.

A really great way to clean out our air is to simply just open a window or a door and allow some fresh air to "clean" out our homes!  Seems like when people used to they needed to air out the house, they were really on to something!  Of course this is a cold time of year for many of us, so it can be a little more challenging, but should still be done every once in a while.

I first and foremost want to wish everyone a very happy new year!!  Take some time today to think about what your goal for this year is going to be.  As I have started to be a back to work mom, one of my goals is to get as much time with Alex as I can.  Time that I know will make a difference.  I don't think that I ever took advantage of being a stay at home mom, but now that I don't have the option to see every milestone that he is crossing I feel like I take more time to really enjoy him when we do spend time together.  So this year I am just going to try to be the best working mom that I can be.  What about you?
