We have your answer! The StrollAway Stroller Hanger.

A friend of mine was living in corporate housing for a year in D.C. and had to store her stroller in the only extra bathroom they had. I felt awful for her but it’s a city you walk everywhere and she needed to have a good all-terrain stroller for her rather tall two year old. If only I had known of the StrollAway sooner, but now they have moved out of the city to a much roomier house. No matter what though, he Metro Tots StrollAway is a perfect solution to getting your stroller off the floor and out of the way!

One of the best things about the StrollAway is that it easily adjusts to nine different positions to accomodate most stroller models. I use it in my store and it fits all of my single strollers very well. It’s heavy duty steel construction holds up to 35 lbs. and hangs securely over the door without any mounting necessary. Just hang it over the door. Price is just $49.99.

Just another great invention by a mom!

One of the few things I brought back with me from the Vegas ABC Show was the Zoobie® Pets. I bought two for my boys, who are 3 and 5, and they won’t sleep without Ping and Taj. The best thing about the Zoobie® Pets is their versatility. The Zoobie® Pets innovative 3-in-1 concept of being a plush toy, soft pillow and a comfy blanket all in one is what has made this item such a huge phenomenon in the media.

I just came back from doing a local show and the moms, and kids of course, went crazy with them. The Zoobie® Pets are such a great gift item order yours now for the holiday! Let us know if you find a better price than totsonthego.com.

I just completed two exhausting days at the ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas. Wow, is all I can say at this point. It was overwhelming but very cool. Being the organized or, as my husband might say, OCD type I knew what I wanted to see and I had the show all planned out.

…or at least I thought I did. Once I got to the show, I felt like a kid in a candy store and those creative vendors suckered me in to their booths with their awesome displays and innovative new products. It was hard to put away my mommy hat and not want to visit every unique toy and apparel booth (I have boys though so clothes aren’t quite as fun). But I was on a mission for my store to find the best travel products and the perfect stroller, as my customers keep requesting for, and I was impressed with the travel and not so impressed with the strollers.

When choosing to live with intention, we must continually reflect on how we are living our lives. Once we become moms, that intention and reflection expands exponentially! Our words and actions are soaked up by our children, they are little sponges watching and learning all the time. This is a weighted concept, however being physically active, you’ve got one area of your life dialed in… your fitness life! (more…)

Have you had one of those days where you are trying to shop with your kids and they are just so antsy, your trying to keep them confined in the cart, but they don’t want to sit and they are hungry, but you know as soon as you hand your toddler the bag of cheerios he will end up dumping half of them on the floor and that will cause more dram, so you try to hand him just a couple at a time, while holding your coupons, making sure your older child is still standing right by you and oh yeah…still trying to get through your shopping list. Ugh.

The answer to all this? (more…)

As if deciding on what type and what brand of stroller isn’t difficult enough. Once you decide, as we did, that the Phil & Teds have designed one awesome doubles stroller, and that it is definitely the one for you then you have to decide on which Phil & Teds stroller…the original/Classic, the Sports Buggy, the Dash or the Vibe.

Ever since I can remember I have always cherished the few weeks that I get to share in the glorious moments of the best athletes in the world during the Olympics. When the best of the best stand up at the podium to receive their gold, silver or bronze medals with tears streaming down their faces, I’m right there with them. My 4 year old son just watches me saying, “Mommy, why are you crying?” I’m not quite sure how to answer him usually, except to say I’m just so happy for them.

It’s amazing to me that before I had kids, which was just the last Olympics, I never really had an appreciation for those outstanding athletes that are also juggling parenthood. The amount of training, physical and mental, that it takes to become the best of the best at any sport, must be incredibly difficult when facing the every day challenges of parenthood. (more…)

Safe-2-Go Children’s Safety Harnesses were listed as one of the 12 must haves for parents for this summer, “Safe-2-Go is an adorable backpack for your wee one that cleverly camouflages a toddler harness. The retractable 38” inch tether helps your up to 50 pound cutie from going AWOL in a crowd, while the backpack styling helps you stay under the radar of those superior parents who didn’t raise deserters.” Toronto City Parent review.

Baby Sherpa®, a leading edge designer of gear-carrying solutions, just added the Safe-2-Go Children’s Safety Harness to it’s line of popular bags. “Safe-2-Go is a great option for peace of mind in a crowd with a busy toddler or if you have 2 or more children,” says Heather Campbell-Dewar, CEO of Baby Sherpa®.
