It's not often I find a cookbook that actually motivates me to cook something.
Make that never.
But the new Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook by Georgeanne Brennan (and Dr. Seuss) certainly did the trick. Inspired by the wonderfully creative Dr. Seuss books, this cookbook is filled with pictures and recipes that might get even the pickiest eater asking for more. What kid wouldn't eat a Schlott's Knot or take a swig of Moose Juice, if only on a dare?
Perhaps even better, it will get your children into helping you out around the kitchen--or with that chore that in my house can be loosely referred to as "cooking." -Kristen

With the cold weather upon us, my son's cutie pie cheeks are getting chapped. Do you have any suggestions for moisture sticks? -Lisa

Nothing's worse than dry baby cheeks, so you might want to check out TruKid's Hero Stick. It's great for cuts and scrapes, but also works on chapped skin as well and is made with all natural ingredients.
Also, the Cheeky Baby Butter from Baby Bear Shop works well on moms and babies. It's doesn't come in stick form, but it's definitely thicker than a cream or lotion.
