Kid’s Placemats: A Learning Tool
While on vacation earlier this year, I made a snap purchase at a General Store — three placemats for my son to use at the dinner table. I got one with the alphabet, one with trucks and one with animals. They are colorful, durable and great entertainment at the table.My toddler son has already learned […]

Something We Don’t Like to Hear: Toy Recalls
We typically don’t write about toy recalls here, or any product recalls, but as a mom I’ve been faced with keeping up with the latest bombardment of information so I thought it would be only fair of me to share some important links with our WTS readers.
Yesterday I learned about a scary recall of the […]

Shout Color Catcher
I was skeptical of this product at first, but really like it now that I’ve used it. I have a problem, sometimes, with mix colors in the laundry. I’ve pulled out new shirts that have purple stains on them because I washed something read with something blue. I thought all dark colors can go together.
So, […]

Hand Soap For Kids (and Adults too!)
My toddler son got some of that fancy foaming soap for Christmas last year. We finally finished the bottle, which tells me that we don’t do a good enough job washing our hands. In attempt to do better, to use more soap this cold and flu season I bought another kid-friendly soap: Huggies Clean Team […]

Sleep Spray
I’ve been on the hunt to replace my bottle of lavendar pillow mist — aka sleep spray. It’s a spray that you mist onto your pillow and sheets before you go to bed. A heavenly scent wafts over your bedroom and lulls you to the perfect nights sleep.
OK, maybe that’s a stretch, but it is […]

Bathtub toy holder
We love the frog toy holder and how it looks on the bathtub wall. I especially like how many toys it holds and that you can hand a wash cloth from his foot — and that you can place shampoo and soap on top. This gadget holds quite a bit and keeps Junior’s bathroom organized!
We’ve […]

Whole Foods coming
I was driving to work the other day when I noticed a HUGE sign announcing a new Whole Foods store opening. It will be at Sand Lake and Turkey Lake roads, right off of I-4. A Spring 2008 opening is announced for this 50,000 square foot store.
Exciting stuff for those of us who like to […]

Huggies Overnights Diapers
All Moms and Dads want a diaper that can hold a lot of pee at night. Twelve hours of pee to be specific. The regular, standard, run-of-the-mill diapers we use during the day just can’t hold that much pee. Huggies Overnights can!
I swear by these diapers. They can hold all thatextra “liquid” and Little Boy […]

Review: On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
Rarely do we write about things we aren’t happy with, but here’s a product that I recently purchased that just didn’t live up to my expectations: Neutrogena’s On-the-Spot Acne Treatment. I paid about $6; maybe a buck more, maybe a buck less, but should have opted for one of the other acne treatments. Shopgirl_trang’s recent […]

Book review: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
OK, so is a book a product? Sure, I say. Thus, We Talk Shop’s first book review. Let me say something upfront … this is how I would describe this book to a friend, I’m not writing a hoity-toity book review like a professional book reviewer. OK, disclaimer over.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, by […]
