Oopsy Daisy: Peel and Place Murals to Keep Up with Your Child

Last Spring I spent weeks repainting the entire house including the boys' rooms. They each got to pick out their own color and theme. I worked for two weeks painting the walls and even painted a mural for each child. The outcome was beautiful. Everyone was happy until two weeks later, one of my four-year-olds declared he no longer wanted to have his room to feature airplanes as they were "boring". He wanted a jungle theme. Sorry kid, mommy is done painting for a while.



The Fine Art for Kid's Peel and Place collection by Oopsy Daisy helps parents keep up with their child's ever changing interests. The wall cutouts are easy to apply and won't damage walls. Plus you can use and move and reuse again.

The collection is available in 14 patterns of removable wall stickers made out self-adhesive, removable vinyl.

Momagenda: A Must-Have for the Organized Mom

I am a list-maker. I was a list-maker long before I had kids and the number of lists has only increased as our family grew. I have notepads, calandars, and organizers for home, work, family, school. I am the queen of to-do lists.

The best planner for my busy life is the Momagenda. A momagenda is similar to other planners -- only customized to fit a modern moms life. Rather than starting the year off in January, the momagenda kicks off with the start of the school year. The page design allows you to keep all of your mom and non-mom activities organized and in one place.



The momagenda starts off with the standard monthly calandars and then more detailed weekly schedules. Individual boxes are set aside with room for each child allows you to keep everyone's schedule on one page.

The makers of momagenda have even done the work in organizing lists of useful websites (for school projects and research), online publications, toll-free numbers, and holidays (for the next four years). The back of the book has room for your own personalized lists -- birthdays, parties, vacations, books, wines, movies, and more.



It even has a notepad section in the back for the miscellaneous stuff that doesn't have a home anywhere else.

I love my momagenda and couldn't imagine managing my busy life without it!

Available in fuschia, indigo, azure, lime, and chocolate. Priced at $42.
