simplesahm | July 9, 2008 Picky Eaters, Beware - Quesadilla Makers Make "Sneaking" Simple
Salton QM2R Santa Fe 900-Watt Quesadilla Maker
I was reminded of one of my favorite kitchen gadgets by a desperate mother in a forum I visit, "how can I make tacos my children will eat?"
Last Christmas my husband and I received this bright red quesadilla maker from his aunt and uncle. The moment I opened it, I had one of those, "oh goody...another unused appliance to clutter up my pantry" moments. However, the moment we tried it, we lovingly stored it in the coveted spot next to the everyday pots and pans.
My personal favorite....leftover taco toppings between whole-wheat tortillas. Even my kids will eat black beans, olives, tomatoes & corn because they are nearly invisible sealed between the yummy tortillas. "Look kids - pizza!"
For dessert - mini apple pies consisting of fresh (uncooked) tortillas filled with apple pie filling & cream cheese - to die for!
This cute little gadget also revives leftover night. I simply take whatever "cream of soup casserole" I threw together the previous night and cook it again between tortillas with a little cheese and "wa-la" - cream of leftovers pizza! (Really, it's not as bad as it sounds).
These wonderful gadgets are cheap too! You can grab them for less than $30.00 at Amazon.com. Trust me, they are worth every penny!

simplesahm | July 2, 2008 Loving This! Safety Tats - Adorable Identification Tattoos for your Child
I literally found this website a few hours after scraping a Fourth of July flag tattoo off of my daughter's arm. The darn thing stayed on for three days!
Now, I am having one of those...slap the forehead - why didn't I think of that? - moments. (I think I have a permanent forehead bruised from all of the brilliant things *other* moms have thought of).
Anyway - this one is one of the brilliant-ist by far. =)
I used to be a social worker and spent much of my summer retrieving young children who wandered from home or who got lost at a park or carnival.
It never failed...even the children who probably rehearsed their name and phone numbers with a parent over...and over...got cases of stage fright.
What's your name? "um - I don't know".
What's your mommy's name? "um - mommy".
Where do you live? "In a blue house".
We always found the rightful owners to the wayward children...however, it is nice not to spare a moment (or a trip to the police station) while looking for a parent.
I am buying a few "tats" as we speak. They are stinkin' cute, plus - they last over a week. (If they are anything like the flag tattoo - they'd probably last until the child hits jr. high).

simplesahm | May 16, 2008 Glubble.com - Safe and Fun Website Browsing for Kids
I am not sure if this is a good thing or not, but my kiddos like the computer as much as I do. My four year old daughter loves online drawing sites and coloring pages and my son is a big fan of "Handy Manny".
While I love to let them play educational and creative games on the internet, I am always afraid that they will run into a site that I don't want them to see. Not to mention all of the annoying little pop-up ads that seem to be strategically placed for accidental clicks.
I found this site Glubble.com a few months ago and was reminded of it the other day when my son was having a hard time navigating between two sites he loves to play on. It is a Firefox add-on (meaning you can only use it if you also use the Firefox browser...which I also highly recommend). Once you install it you create "tabs" for each of your children and small icons called "glubbles" with many of the most popular children's educational and game websites.
What I love most about the site is that it keeps my children from exploring elsewhere on the internet because everything else is password protected by the parent.
You can also customize the homepage for each of your children. I filled my daughter's site with Polly Pockets, Girl Scouts and American Girl type sites while my son gets Bob the Builder and Lego games. You can also choose age-appropriate sites.
I almost purchased the Fisher Price Easy Link Launchpad for my kids but I wasn't anxious to have yet another toy piled on top of my laptop, desktop, printer, and drawing software. This has been a much better option for so many reasons. (Did I mention that it is free too)?
