Not to jump on the band wagon, but I totally agree with the above crayon comments. The crayons in the jars are so pretty, but so impractical for small children.....fun idea though!

I really, really wanted a CPK in 1983, but they were in such demand it was impossible to find and my parents didn't like how expensive they were. In the winter months (after Christmas, I think), my parents let me know I could earn money carrying in firewood in from outside ($.50 per trip) to pay for the then $30 price tag. I took them up on the offer and raised the money, but they were still sold out everywhere. My mom called everywhere when finally, my friends mom who worked at Kmart was able to set one aside when a shipment came in. Arty Benedict, a bald headed baby CPK was my playmate for years to come.

I splurged on a Nurseryworks Storytime rocker. (http://www.allmodernbaby.com/Nurseryworks-Storytime-Rocker-nwk1090.html) It's comfortable for rocking and breastfeeding and your child can sit beside you and read as they grow. My 4 year old still sits in it and when her sister is done with it, we'll probably move it to the playroom.

herzsprung: Most public schools do offer school lunches, but many of them are not overly healthy or appetizing, leaving many parents scrambling to pack an alternative.

We have the Mrs. Myers Iowa Pine scent soap, it smells so fresh, crisp and piney. It's perfect.
