Your Family Constitution Book

September 8, 2009 by

If your family is like mine you are busy from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. Life is so busy with work, the kids, sports practice you lose focus on the most important thing you have, FAMILY. It is very easy to let life and family spin out of control even though everything on the surface looks fine. If this sounds like your family you need to read Your Family Constitution by Scott Gale. Scott Gale talks about his life and how he was able to make a change for the better by using a Family Constitution. This book will give you a lot of very valuable ideas and suggestions to get you and your family back on track. The cover of the book says it all, Your Family Constituiton is a modern approach to family values and household structure. Every family deserves to have values and structure.

Scott Gale describes what he calls Black Sunday which occured on Mother’s Day 2007 for the creation of the Family Constitution. He goes into detail on how he and his nine year old son Jack had a falling out causing his family to hit rock bottom. Your Family Constitution then goes into why his family hit rock bottom and all of the work it took and many drafts of his Family Constitution to get his family back to the place where they belonged, Peace. He described how difficult is can be to recover once you hit rock bottom but there is hope and it can be done.

My kids have chores and responsibilities but Melinda and I are very loose with the punishment if these chores and responsibilities are not done. I tend to yell and make empty threats about how they will be grounded for a week only to let them off punishment the very next day. Yelling causes tension and resentment and does not create a great family dynamic. Currently we have a big problem with Shaun and homework. Like I mentioned in an earlier post he still is not in the swing of school so anytime homework needs to be done it is a battle. He cries and wines when we make him read the homework directions because he says it will take him to long to read them. He cries before he even makes an attempt at doing his homework which is the most frustrating thing. Melinda and I tend to get frustrated with the homework process which only causes Shaun to cry so we yell about him crying which only make him cry harder.

I realized something needed to be done ASAP before our problems got too far out of control and that is where Your Family Constitution came to the rescue. After reading this book by Scott Gale I realized we have the same problems as I am sure most parents do and that is getting our kids to listen and do what they are told. Reading this book made me really look at myself as a father and parent on how I interact and discipline my children. I realized I yell entirely too much and yelling gets nothing resolved. It only makes the house tense and the kids more defiant. After reading this book Melinda and I have implemented a chore chart so the kid’s chores were laid out with consequences if they were not done. If a chore is missed the first time they lose half of their weekly allowance, second time they lose their entire weekly allowance and a third time they lose all screen time (meaning TV, computer and all electronics like the DS and iPod). This is a fairly new process so I do not have a lot of feedback on how the process is going so far but I am optimistic and have a good feeling.

We have started a three step process with Shaun and his homework. He was told he needs to do his homework daily with no crying or whining. For the first infraction he gets a warning, the second infraction he gets a five minute timeout in the corner, and the third time he loses all screen time for 1 day. We implemented this last week and it seemed to work during the later part of the week. I feel as the weeks go on Shaun will know the rules and what will happen if they are broken and slowly this problem will go away.

I am hoping since reading Your Family Constitution and implementing rules and consequences my kids will now know what needs to be done and what is expected of them on a daily basis. I am also hoping this will ease the chore and homework tension allowing us to have a less stressful household. I will keep everyone posted.

Scott Gale the author of Your Family Constitution has been generous enough to give 1 copy of his book away to one lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too! reader. Go to Your Family Constitution and tell me how you think this book would help you and your family.

Oxygen Games for Nintendo DS and Sony PSP

September 7, 2009 by

If you like to play video games as much as Shaun and I do then you need to check out the awesome games from Oxygen Games. O-Games is a new publisher of family, social and sports video games and they have an exciting game lineup that is simple and fun for the entire family.

Shaun and I got to try out Pirates: Duels on the High Seas, Hurry Up Hedgehog and PDC World Championship Darts from O-Games. When the games arrived in the mail we were excited to get our hands on the games and give them a play. We play a good amount of video games so we tend to be critical and I was excited as these games didn’t disappoint.

My favorite of the three games was PDC World Championship Darts. PDC World Championship Darts has a nice career mode allowing you to play in 7 major PDC tournaments using one of sixteen different PDC champions like Phil Taylor, Ronnie Baxter and more. The game also has a nice multiplayer option allowing you to play a quick match (1-2 players), custom tournament (1-8 players) or party games (1-4 players). PDC World Championship Darts is available for the Wii, Nintendo DS, PSP and PS2. Shaun had a tough time deciding his favorite game but in the end he went with Pirates: Duels on the High Seas and Hurry Up Hedgehog.

Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is hours of non-stop entertainment with over 70 levels over 7 seas where you collect weapons, crewman and treasure. Fight many foes like the enchanted ice and ghost ships, Royal and Merchant Navy, terrifying sea creatures, and Blackbeard himself. Pirates: Duels on the High Seas has an explosive multi player battle mode with a wi-fi dueling arena. Vessels and artillery upgrades create the ultimate pirate battle ship which takes this game to the next level. Pirates: Duels on the High Seas is available for the Nintendo DS and is a 1-4 player game. If you like brainteasers then Hurry Up Hedgehog is for you. With 6 graphic sets and 5 rule customization options you have 32 unique ways to play. Hurry Up Hedgehog is a cool brainteaser which will challenge the whole family. Jostling against the canniest critters players must dodge hazards and race their hedgehog home to victory. Hurry Up Hedge is a 1-6 multiplayer game available for the Nintendo DS. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with any of these 3 games as they were all awesome and provided a nice challenge and were fun at the same time. Head over to Oxygen Games and check out their selection.




Milkshake music Recapitulation

September 5, 2009 by

I got a big bottle of Sunshine
Mixed up with a bowl of daydreams
Poured into a suitcase filled with laughter that I found
You won’t find me sitting around

These are just some of the whimsical lyrics you’ll find in Milkshake’s catalog. Milkshake is a Baltimore, MD based kids rock band that have been seen on Noggin, PBS Kids and Discovery Kids as well as concerts around the US. Using music as a peek into the child’s imagination is one way I describe their style. Most of their songs are written from a child’s point of view but there are always exceptions to the rule. You Did It is a song of motivation being sung from a parent to their child. Whatever task is in front of them we as parents know they can accomplish it with a little push and pull.

Milkshake was formed in 2002 as a way for then new parents Lisa Mathews and Mikel Gehl to stay in touch with the music that was going to influence their children’s lives. With a background in indie rock they used their enthusiasm and originality to gain a strong following over the next few years with fellow bandmates Tom Moon, Cord Neal, Brian Simms and Michael Sheppard. Great Day is Milkshake’s 4th studio album and was just released in August along. This album like all the others (we have them all) is a celebration of all things KID. With songs about family, feelings, friends and FUN it touches on the topics that are important for kids.
Milkshake wants to give LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win a special giveaway, the Great Day CD PLUS a Milkshake Tutu just like Lisa wears or a Milkshake Moo t-shirt OR Milkshake’s complete studio album catalog, that’s 4 CDs. Give Milkshake music a chance and tell me a song you really like from their website or Facebook page. Also tell me which prize you would like to win.

P.F. Changs New Kids Menu Recapitulation

September 4, 2009 by

Long gone are the days of regular date nights and not just for us but for most busy moms and dads out there. We’ve learned to adapt to the shortage of time and do the things we really love. Rob and I love to eat yummy food! One of our favorite spots if P.F. Changs China Bistro. We settle in at the bar, order a drink and 3 starters to share; chicken lettuce cups, crispy green beens and either the big bowl of wonton soup, crab wontons or dumplings. We do this because everything is so good we have a hard time deciding on one meal each. On the few occasions we have gotten meals we love Mongolian Beef.

We have always kept P.F. Changs to ourselves; it wasn’t always a kid-friendly place. This has recently changed. P.F. Changs China Bistro has introduced a kid’s menu where all the kids’ meals are less than $5, designed with a child’s palate in mind and include all the fresh and delicious ingredients as the regular menu.

 
The new menu includes:

 

  • Kid’s Chicken served with honey or sweet and sour dipping sauce

Kid’s Lo Mein, egg noodles stir-fried with chicken

  • Kid’s Chicken Fried Rice- without the veggies
  • Baby Buddha’s Feast, carrots, snap peas and broccoli steamed or stir-fried

Along with the above meals your child also gets a take home kids cup.

On a recent random Saturday night Sabreena went out with her girlfriends so we decided to do the unthinkable; take Shaun and Shae to our sanctuary. It was still early enough that the wait was manageable but if we had waited any longer the kids would’ve become restless. We were seated and quickly greeted by our server who was friendly and talked to the kids like they were guests too. We ordered Baby Buddha’s Feast for Shae and Kid’s Lo Mein for Shaun and let them share. We also shared some of our rice and entrée and appetizer (just one) with them too. They really enjoyed almost everything they tried. P.F. Changs even offers cute shot glass size desserts for $2. The kids each got one while Rob and I split the Banana Spring Rolls (another luscious decadent favorite of ours).

While P.F. Changs may not seem like the family friendly eatery from the outside the atmosphere is relaxed the staff is friendly and food is yummy yummy yummy.

LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers have a special giveaway from P.F. Changs China Bistro. Win a $100 gift card to treat your entire family to a fabulous dinner. Take a peek at their menu and tell me what you or your children would like to order.

The Safe Sporter Evaluation

September 3, 2009 by

Kid Basix has again produced a safe non toxic alternative sippy cup for older kids. The Safe Sporter is the newest addition to the Kid Basix family and is constructed with the same stainless steel body and BPA and phthalate free materials as the The Safe Sippy and The Safe Starter.

Shae is at the stage where a traditional sippy cup is no longer needed. She sees her big brother and sister drinking from sports bottles and often steals them to drink. Kid Basix must have known about our dilemma so they sent Shae their new Safe Sporter. She loves being able to close the spout and lid when she’s done sipping, I think she closes and opens it more than she actually drinks. This cup has features that are perfect for this age or running about and taking the cup along.

• Mud Cap-prevents other kids from taking a sip
• Pull Spout-spillproof when closed
• Stainless Steel body- no chemical leaching into your child’s drink
• Wide Mouth-easy cleaning access
• TPR Sleeve-no slip grip plus insulation from cold drinks
• Plastic Coaster-no damage to tables
The Safe Sporter comes in 3 colors, fucshia, blue and lime and is available in 2 sizes,  12oz and 16oz to accommodate your child’s thirst level. The bigger size is plenty big enough and stylish looking for bigger kids lunch bags also.
Win a Kid Basix Safe Sporter in your choice of color here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Tell me your favorite feature of The Safe Sporter.

Shagbags-resuable bags for the fashion-conscious

September 3, 2009 by
The world of reusable bags has a new name, Shagbag. A relative new-comer to the eco-bag industry, Shagbags were born in 1997 out of a desire to be earth friendly while remaining stylish. Owners Alli and Stefanie were determined to refuse store bags and this meant the shopping bag styles that are often sold near the check-out. While these bags are useful they are usually unattractive and awkward to fold and store. The duo came up with a design that is not just good-looking but durable and accommodating for many uses.


Reusable bags tend to be designed with a woman’s eye; florals, bright hues, girly patterns. Shagbag, LLC has kept everyone in mind with their different design options including cupcake for the teen, nautical theme for the men and a rubber ducky for for those just wanting tp add a little fun to everyday errands. Each Shagbag comes in its own little pouch also, so in reality it’s like getting 2 bags in one. Use the ShagBag for groceries, hitting the gym or going to the beach, the little pouch is perfect for your keys, phone or MP3 player.

Shagbags are made from 100% recyclable, tear-free, stain-free and water-resistant DuPont™ Tyvek®. This design will allow you to not only use your bags for years to come but to also feel confident that when it’s time to say goodbye it can be done safely and with the earth in mind.

Here is my Shagbag, loosely stuffed with standard groceries. As you can see it’s nowhere full but this is just to give you an idea of what can fit; 64 oz apple juice, box of No Pudge brownie mix, 16 oz spaghetti, box of cereal, box of granola bars, big jar of peanutbutter, bag of Somersaults snacks.

Again I could’ve fit so much more with little effort, the bag itself can tote up to 25lbs of goodies, whether it be groceries, new fabric store samples or baby toys for grandmas.

Shagbags are designed to be easily reused over and over. If it’s portable, accessible, crunchable, washable, lightweight, recyclable, durable, eco-friendly, soft and stylish, we will use it. Shop for Shagbags and jewelry and art in their Annapolis, MD showroom (local shopping for me) or online. At the reasonable price of $8 – $16 these would make a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for that person who has everything.




VTech Bugsby Reading System

September 1, 2009 by

I’m a sucker for learning toys especially for Shaun. Vtech has been a favorite of mine since Sabreena was little with an alphabet teaching school she carried everywhere. Now that Shaun is at the reading stage his educational toy of choice is the Vtech Bugsby Reading System.

We received this a couple weeks ago and it has worked great as a refresher for the new school year. Shaun would wake up in the morning and read for about 20 minutes before coming down for breakfast and then again after lunch during quiet time. The Bugsby also lets him read to his baby sister.

 

Since 1976, VTech has been developing high-quality, innovative, educational products for children from birth to preteen that deliver “smart play” through the combination of entertaining electronic formats and engaging, age-suitable content that help children learn while having fun. Trust VTech as a world-leader of age-appropriate learning toys.

Vtech Bugsby Reading System is meant to not only help your child to read but also learn the fundamentals to reading and writing and comprehension. Bugsby takes your child through the steps of sentence structure, word recognition, phonics and more. The system is simple too. No extras required. Bugsby is a cute worm shaped reader pen and the storybook and cartridge come together. No need to download anything from a computer to update software. Each book explains the curriculum covered plus the recommended ages using familiar characters with matching voices such as Scooby Doo (Shaun’s favorite), Max and Ruby, Wonderpets, Dora the Explorer plus the systems very own Bugsby the Worm.

Vtech Bugsby Reading System can be purchased at your favorite store for $29.99 plus 12.99 for additional books. The price makes it a perfect birthday or holiday present especially since the starter system have everything your child needs to get started, pen, book and cartridge. Stay connected with VTech and their educational advances through Facebook, Twitter or Club VTech where you can monitor your child’s progress, find relevant articles to your child’s learning stage or even sign up for a Newsletter to learn of special offers and upcoming products.




Crazy Forts Recapitulation

August 31, 2009 by
What is it about tents and forts that intrigue children so much? I remember building them when I was younger, my brother and I would lean sofa cushions against chairs and tables and throw blankets over them to give ourselves a private little space. Crazy Forts is an awesome build your own structure set lets children us their imaginations without batteries.
Crazy Forts is the unique design invention of Jim Whitney. With just a bundle of sticks and some connector balls and a simple bed sheet kids are able to construct a sturdy but lightweight place to call their own. Simple assembly allow kids as young as 4 to help with the construction but they definitely need some help to get the entire house, igloo or rocketship built. Sabreena has taken over this task but Shaun is a big help. I do wish it came with a carrying bag or a reclose able box for easier storage and transportation, the original box works fine just doesn’t close again. My parent’s house isn’t conducive for forts as their furniture cushions don’t come off and the furniture is too heavy to move around. Crazy Forts is going to let my children continue the fun from our house to the grandparents plus the outdoors if that suits them.

 

The Crazy Forts house has become Shaun’s and Shae’s standard watching tv spot. Set up strategically in Sabreena’s room this is where they sit on Friday’s movie and pizza night to watch Finding Nemo or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The Crazy Forts igloo is where they play veterinarian in the playroom. It takes up a good amount of room so the few times they’ve set it up in the living room we’ve had to push back furniture. The optional LED lights add illumination to the standard dark cave feel that forts have. LED technology gives light but that are cool to the touch plus they shut off after 20 minutes.
Available at cool kid’s toy shoppes and online, Crazy Forts run approx $40-$45; less than a traditional playhouse structure but with the ability to change shape and location of play, not something you can do with a big bulky plastic playhouse in most backyards and playrooms. Did you design a cool fort?  Did you combine 2 sets to make a mega fort for the entire family?  Submit your design to Crazy Forts Facebook Group to show off your unique design.

Crazy Forts is giving LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win their own Crazy Forts structure set. Visit Crazy Forts and tell me where you can shop for one. Is it in your town or is it online?

Snurser, portable baby feeding pillow

August 27, 2009 by

The babies are on the way! My Sister Kim and Sister-in-Law Melanie are having baby girls in October and I’ve tried to bring to them the coolest plus handiest baby gear around. The Snurser is that next great thing that I never knew about. We all have or had at one point the big cresent shaped pillow. It’s great for feeding, tummy time, propping up baby for pictures and lounging but it isn’t very portable. The Snurser is a portable nursing/feeding pillow that is lightweight, soft but durable enough to toss in the diaperbag and bring wherever you need it.

The Snurser slips over mommy’s or daddy’s arm to give baby some cushy support while letting us have a more relaxed arm, reducing arm fatigue. Made from 100% cotton and hypo-allergenic foam; allowing baby to stay cool during feeding or rocking. The Snurser comes in 7 funky patterns (buttaflys, toytles, camo, pink camo, fishies, poke-a-dots blue and poke-a-dots pink), my sisters were both sent Pink Camo, the pattern suits them nicely and since it’s not too girly and froufrou the daddies can use them too. Since this is great for nursing or bottle fed babies it makes a perfect shower gift.

The Snurser is one of those things that once you use it you wonder how you fed you and baby lived without it.
