Kajeet is a new cell phone service for kids. So basically it’s the latest tech gadget for kids and so far we (mom and 6 year old son) are loving it!
Kajeet is the solution for kid cell phones because there is no contract and no additional fees. All you have to do is buy the phone and pay as you go. The Kajeet Sanyo Katana phone is cool, ultra slim & sleek and perfect for kids. My son has the blue one and really likes the added digital camera! I guess it’s time to teach him all about ring tones and how much fun they can be! Did I mention it was also blue tooth compatible? WOW!
With the Kajeet service, parents can view who their kids are talking to and what they are doing with the phone. That is a big plus. Actually it’s one of the main reasons why I totally recommend the Kajeet service.

Overall, my 6 year old son and I give Kajeet a BIG thumbs up! We recommend it for back to school and the upcoming holiday season. It is sure to be a big hit with the kids! I hope you will take some time and visit Kajeet.com to see what it’s all about.

A quick tip today about buying Halloween costumes for your toddler is to SHOP NOW. If you shop right now (I know it's still September) you will get the best selection. Some of the most sought after Halloween costumes are being bought up right now and if you want one of the "popular" costumes then I suggest going out this weekend or buying online this week to get the costume your toddler wants.

Last year we posted this great resource for making your own Halloween costumes easily. What's great is that you don't have to be a crafty person to make these costumes. Click here to start making your own Halloween Costumes

Here in our home, home-made brownies are a big hit and we make them often. However, we wouldn't have them often if we didn't alter the original recipe.

Healthy Brownie Recipe For Kids

While the original brownie recipe calls for 1/2 cup of oil (yuck!) and 2 eggs, our healthy kid-friendly recipe calls for 1 egg( or 2 egg whites) and 2 mini cups of apple sauce. You can use regular or organic depending on your tastes. You could even use 1/2 cup of homemade apple sauce or jarred apple sauce. It all works the same and taste delicous! An egg free brownie version will also turn out just the same when you use apple sauce only. All you need to do is add a little extra apple sauce! Remember to grease your brownie pan with 1 teaspoon of trans fat free cooking oil!

In the end you will have moist healthier brownies! Yummo! Feel free to share your healthy brownie recipes too! I'd love to try some new ones!

This morning Mattel Recalled another 800,000+ toys due to lead paint poisoning hazards. One toy included is the Geo Trax Red Train Engine Toy.

This Geo Trax Recall involves the Geo Trax Freightway Transport and the Geo Trax Special Track Pack Locomotive Toy. These train engines are red with yellow paint on the ladder and horn details. About 90,000 of these train units were recalled. These Geo Trax trains were sold between September 2006 and August 2007 nationwide. If your child's toy has the date code 212-6CK through 365-6CK or 001-7CK through 232-7CK then it has been recalled. You and your child should stop using this toy immediately due to the poisoning potential of lead paint.
