Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to write about a cool new bike that just came out in the US. It's called Taga bikes. It's a multi fuctional carrier bike that allows you to bike with your child in front and can convert into a stroller. You have to see it to believe it! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNZ464g0JZs
It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors with your little ones and get some exercise too. ;) I can't say enough good things about Taga bikes! Best investment ever.

Some additional info if you're interested!

Join them on Facebook and get new info on contests. They have given away Taga bikes in the past.

Let me know if you'd like to test drive the bike! I'm in Valencia.

Nice, Joie! Great to know! I was never told when I moved in that my house was built on an ant colony. Sorry little guys...but your TOAST.

I've been a customer of Old Town Pest Control for 5 years now and have been pleased with their service. They come out quarterly, spray my perimeters and leave. Recently I have had a few spiders (I know...EWWWW!) indoors and so I called them to have my interior sprayed, knowing that it would be an additional charge. To my pleasant surprise, after booking my appointment, she told me that there was NO ADDITIONAL charge! I just about rolled over...imagine that. In today's economy, service is every thing...and this took the prize. Made me a very happy and very loyal customer! The rave reviews are in!!!

Love Magic Erasers. Also, I'm loving Mr. Clean spray with bleach. It does smell very bleachy, so use in a ventilated area. However, you just spray it on (I use it in the sink and the bathtub/shower) and leave it. Then later, I just rinse it off. Unless there is a serious stain, there is no scrubbing involved whatsoever. Gotta love that. Spray and go.

Also heard that magic erasers are great for getting stains off of plastics, such as tupperwares and such. Haven't tried it myself, but will get to it one of these days...

Christine - I second the Magic Erasers (they also clean grout! I bought a case and tried it and my tile never looked cleaner!)

Also, a plain old microfiber towel also works great without any chemicals. I have one in the kitchen and I use it to clean my cooktop (as well as just about anything else in the house). It cleans my cooktop so well, even without one drop of cleanser. It also cleans dirt off walls, countertops, tables. I got mine at Whole Foods, but they are everywhere now. Best little $5 investment. :)

Wish I could say that I had a great experience or great review, but unfortunately this time it isn't so...

I went to Claimjumper's this afternoon (4:00 PM) for an early dinner, only to be told that my large party (which was 2 families) would not be able to be given a table until 8 PM!

I posted my letter to Claimjumper's guest services under the Food Group, discussion is titled, Unable to be Served at Claimjumper".

Seriously people, as moms in this valley, it should cause all our mouths to drop...will keep you posted on any responses from the Co.

One of my favorite products is the Magic Eraser by Mr. Clean. It cleans everything!!! I use it to take finger prints off my walls and doors!!! Now if it could only clean my carpets!!!
