Little Looster

Anyone who has ever potty-trained a young child or spent any amount of time in the bathroom with a young child will tell you that one of the “challenges” is making sure that little kids are comfortable and secure on the toilet. Alyssa was two months shy of three when she was potty-trained, and one of the things she complained about was not feeling safe on the toilet. She was anxious about falling off — or worse yet, falling in. We did have one of those potty rings, but it tended to slip around, and on one occasion it managed to pinch her thigh, so after that she pretty much used her hands to “grip” the sides of the toilet, and when we were out in public I would actually hold her on the toilet so she felt secure.
Ryan was three and a half when he graduated from diapers to the toilet, and while he was nearly a year older than Alyssa was and thus a little bigger, he too had issues climbing up on the toilet and staying in place.

Parents and caregivers find different solutions to helping kids use full-sized toilets, including stools. Stools are nice because they give kids a boost — literally — which allows them to use their legs to brace themselves and remain stable while doing their business. But stools aren’t usually compatible with the round shape of toilets, and so them shifting or sliding away can often make kids feel even more unstable.

Enter the Little Looster, a half-circle shaped step stool that is designed specifically to be used in conjunction with toilets. The Little Looster fits directly against standard toilets, and its strong design and textured surface provide stability for little kids. For adults, its flush design means no awkward stepping or sitting, or the inconvenience of having to move and then replace the stool.

I recently received a Little Looster to try out, and I’m definitely impressed with the quality of the design and attention to detail. Alyssa has gotten a little leggy over the last few months, so she didn’t really have a need for it, but Ryan definitely liked it. He climbs right up now and is able to go to the bathroom hands-free, without dangling legs that can sometimes lead to that irritating pins-and-needles sensation.

The Little Looster is available for $39.99 at littlelooster.com.

Zibits are awesome

Zibits are bite-sized robots that light up and make robotic chirping noises, move back and forth and even spin 360°. I was recently given the opportunity to review two of the little robots, and of course I said yes. Alyssa and Ryan are getting more interested in “older”, more interactive toys, and when the Zibits arrived, they couldn’t wait to tear into them.

Zibits are perfect toys for kids young and old. Alyssa and Ryan are just as excited about their little robots as my teenage brothers are! I’d definitely recommend these as toys for kids and stocking stuffers for older kids and technology-oriented adults. And at just $9.99 apiece and 12+ styles to choose from, your wallet and sense of style will be able to handle them! :)

Find homes for sale online

AskAgents.com Who uses a newspaper these days? Raise your hand if you even read one. *raises hand* I freely admit to not having read a newspaper for several years. I may glance at one in passing in the doctor’s office, and when I worked retail/fast food there would often be one or two to check out in the break room, but these days I go to the internet for everything that I need. And so should you. If you’re looking to rent or buy a home, for example, why rummage through newspapers and drive around neighborhoods when you can instead check out askagents.com?

At askagents.com, you’ll be able to find listings for homes for sale. The newly launched site offers you the opportunity to use dozens of spiffy features to find the exact home you’re looking for. You can use the standard city and state search criteria, of course, but you can also filter things a bit further. Search for homes by:

Don’t forget to check out the tabs at the top of the site, where you’ll be able to find homes for sale, homes for rent, and even foreclosed homes that may not only go quickly, but may also be available for much cheaper due to their foreclosed status and the banks’ desire to unload them as quickly as possible.

At AskAgents.com, you can also read the latest in the housing industry, and view a one-of-a-kind blog that features articles that are 100% relevant to shopping for homes and selling homes.

Registration is free, and obviously entitles you to many benefits.

Psst… are you an agent? You’re welcome at AskAgents.com too! In fact, you can register for a 75% discount!

Jenn As the domain name suggests, my name is Jenn, and I own this blog. I'm 26 years old and married to my one true ♥, Daniel. And while I have two kids (Alyssa is five, and Ryan is three), you won't find "mommy" in my username or email address, nor does my blog revolve around them. I'm a mother, but most importantly I am me, with a passion for love, blogging, reading, and photography. I'm also a busy freelance writer, web designer & SEO goddess.
