What’s Trending at the Harding House, July Edition

Tommee Tippee Bibs – Fantastic for messy eaters.  This thing has a lip that actually catches food before it falls down to laps and the floor.  My eager eater actually scavenges for half-eaten food in his bib after his first “course” is complete.  After a meal, I just throw it in the dishwasher.  Really, I couldn’t live without these things.

PicMonkey – this handy-dandy site has revolutionized my photos! Create collages, facebook timelines, pictures with text or simply edit regular photos to brighten colors, create softened edges, and more.  Check out the simple before and after changes to picture above.  It took about 1 minute to import the original photo, update it, then create the before and after collage.  Not bad, right? Oh, and it’s free!


TOMS Wedges – I like to wear heels.  I’m not gonna lie.  It makes me feel like my pre-mom self, and I like the way my legs look in heels.  Regardless of my motivation, a “typical” high heel doesn’t really fit in my working from home and stopping by the playground lifestyle.  The TOM Wedges however, work really well no matter where my feet take me.  Super comfy, really cute, affordable, and I tend not to trip in them when I run to rescue my toddler from another slide incident.  So practical too.

Pandora, Indie Kids Station – Tired of hearing Twinkle Twinkle and EIEIO over and over???? I am.  My husband actually found the Indie Kids station on Pandora and it has totally enhanced meal time over at our house.  I’ve actually found myself doing a little song and dance to the music, because it’s fun and catchy, and yes, I sometimes like to do a little song & dance.  Admit it, so do you

Have you tried any of these things? What’s trending at your house right now?
