Soothing your Mysophobia

Hello everyone! My name is Alex and I'm a germaphobe. I just got great news in my inbox from a company that has a GREAT hand sanitizer -Cleanwell. I've blogged about them before here. Their product does not have any alcohol nor does it have anything toxic and it has a pleasant scent. I've used their product and I swear by it -it works wonders even on a trip to the local vet office yesterday. The vet office had a "veterinary grade hand sanitizer" that was so bad that the nervous dog smell remained on my hands (yuck!). I pulled out my last remaining drops of Cleanwell and the smell and grime was all gone! It is safe around babies and pets with no worries of toxicity or intoxication.

You could win a one year supply just go to their sweepstakes page here and sign up!
By the way you know I won't steer you wrong because I will tell you what is NOT worth the money. Cleanwell is well worth it. Check out their site they will also email you a $1 coupon!

FYI -Product recalls (again and again and again...)

Pacifiers that choke, confetti that is full of lead, toys that kill, jewelry that is full of lead, clothes that strangle -nope I'm not making this stuff up (I'm not that imaginative). Take a look at this site for the latest recall info put out by the US Govt.

Warning: All Crocs are dangerous

As if worrying about lead toys, foot-and-mouth outbreaks and all other hazards of modern living now the newest is worrying about Crocs shoes. Yes, those little shoes on your little one is a danger on escalators (a little girl in Singapore got her toe ripped off!). Turns out the shoes get trapped in the "teeth" of the escalators or they crack between the steps. Scary stuff -for a full report click here and here.

Airplane travel made easier

Who likes to carry a big awkward car seat on to an airplane? No one I know and that is why I am so happy that there is an alternative.
Here on European flights they give you a seat extender (the kind that bigger people get to attach to their seat belts) and expect you to attach it to your own and looped around baby. As you can imagine it isn't really a great option. So from America I ordered this great new seat belt from CARES (it is FAA approved too). It straps the baby in just as if it were a car seat belt and the set up time is less than one minute. There are both written instructions and a video. As you can see if folds up nice and small too -what a great invention!
