7 years of being together and I am still having a hard time finding the perfect gift for my husband. I surely fail in that department. Last year, for his birthday we bought a mini player that he can use while jogging at the park. The day after I bought the player, he came home and declared that he loaded his blackberry with songs for his run. Really!! I just bought you a player that you’ll get in a few days and you tell me you have the blackberry for that! Dilemma in buying Mr. C a gift. 1) He almost always manage to buy something similar to what I already bought him 2) I rarely go out without him – I don’t drive and travelling with two kids in tow with bags is challenging. 3) If and when the kids and I manage to go gift shopping for dad – V declares “Daddy, we have a surprise for you!

Product Review – Merries Diaper

  As a mom you only want the best for your children, looking for the best brand to use that will work for you and the baby is a priority. It has always been a hit and miss when it comes to looking for that perfect disposable diaper that is worth every penny and makes your baby’s bum happy.   I was given the opportunity to try out the leading diaper brand in Japan – Merries Diapers.   I am using cloth diaper for daytime and disposable for night, and although we are happy with the current brand that we use I am much happier after a week of trying out this magic Merries Diaper!   Let me list why: 1) Absorbent – LittleMiss C’s bum feel dry even after using the diaper for almost 9 hours. 2) No stinky smell even if it is full pee. 3) Soft that it’s inside feels like my cloth diapers. 4) Holds its shape. Have you notice that when a diaper is full it’s sagging when the baby …
