Dh and I did one for Jamestown, Virginia.... just be ready for really pushy sales people and the room you will be staying is near the timeshare property. -
Anything by Eric Carle is a hit here... Brown Bear, Panda Bear, Polar Bear, the very hungry caterpillar. Flip the flap books are also a hit :) Dd2 also likes the Little Owl series by Divya Srinivasan

We are rather iffy with flea collars... our previous cat was allergic to them. For those who use essential oils, is there a combination we could use to get rid of fleas? I heard of lavender but not sure what else to mix with it to make it into a flea killing/repelling shampoo

We got a kitten about 2 weeks ago (though we were told it was a girl but the kitten is a boy :( ) now we are looking at getting him some flea shampoo. Any recommendations? Bonus points if it can also be used on our daschaund.

MomtoCandJ replied to athomeontheprairie's topic in The Chat Board
Pack and play only for dd2, dd1 climbed out of the crib at around 6 months so she was also pack and play only from then until she was around 1. The pack and play seemed the contain my little monkeys better than a crib -
