Housekeeping: New Weapon in the Laundry Battle?

As the mother of an active toddler, I'm always on the lookout for products to de-clutter and simplify my life. When it comes to attacking the laundry monster, I like to get 'er done as quickly as possible. (I've never understood why laundry needed to be such a messy ordeal.) So, of course, I love that someone has come up with ONE product to replace the clutter of bottles in my laundry room. It's such a simple idea! The new Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets contain enough detergent, softener and static-fighter for a full load. You just toss a sheet into the washer when you start the washing machine. When the cycle is done, you simply put the clothes in the dryer along with the laundry sheet. The heat from the dryer activates the softening and anti-static agents in the sheet. The end result? One fresh, clean, fluffy batch of laundry. Now, how awesome is that?

The First Lady on Sesame Street

What's the most fun thing Michelle Obama has done since becoming First Lady? She says it was visiting the set of Sesame Street last week to tape a segment about healthy habits. She explained to the press that "I never thought I’d be on Sesame Street with Elmo and Big Bird, and I was thrilled. I’m still thrilled. I’m on a high.”

Take a look at this clip of Mrs. Obama's appearance on Sesame Street:



The show is part of Sesame Street's "Healthy Habits For Life" initiative, encouraging exercise and nutritious eating habits.

Bright New Kicks for Toddlers

Why doesn't anyone make adult shoes this cute? As you'll see, color is all the rage this Spring and Summer. Shoe designers are going all out, especially on toddler and preschooler shoes. So, get your little ones some cool tennis shoes and sandals they could only get away with at their age. Sure they're loud, busy and over the top, but chances are your little one has one or two of those traits as well.
