Warmies are WHACK!

Dear Prince Lionheart:

Your uber chic, eco-friendly, natural, and soft bamboo "reusable" cloth wipes aka "warmies" SUCK! I have 30 of them and a 1/3 of them unraveled to shreds on their first (isolated, delicate) wash.

I find it ironic that those of us who were stupid enough and made the investment in these wipes thinking that we were getting the best for our little ones, ended up wiping our babies bums with tattered rags. Not cool.We would have been better off just buying regular old, cheapo baby washcloths which would be a much better value, much more resilient, and (get this) more REUSABLE than your poor excuses for cloth wipes.

I know I am not the first mom to complain, and I won't be the last. Get your act together Prince Lionheart. Line the perimenter of the cloth wipes in a sturdier fabric or something. Use some 21st century technology to fortify the fibers. Your website flippantly suggests "replacing the wipes as needed." Oh you bet I will replace them, but not with more WHACK-ASS warmies.

Sincerely,

Charm City Mama

Cha-Cha Charming Changes

If you don't read this blog through a reader or RSS feed thingy, you've probably noticed I've made some cha-cha changes.

The subtle change in design celebrates 100 posts (110 now)! Woo Hoo! It was time to personalize the standard blog template a bit.

I also decided to link my Flickr account to the site because the blog and baby are the reason I got the fancy camera, so I might as well get serious about it. I figured linking the blog and Flickr would motivate me. We shall see.

Now if I could just figure out how to add a little Flickr slideshow on the side column (if only it was as easy as the Picasa widget). Help!

Week Ten!

I am loving week ten!

Olivia is chatting up a storm. It's beyond finding her voice now, and it's full on conversations. You can also make her smile and laugh to just about any silly face, sudden movement, or kiss sound. She especially finds it amusing when the au pair gives me the rundown of the day (and particularly when there is bad news).

She is also very aware of her environment, when we enter and leave the room, and even her attire.

Best of all, she loved her legwarmers! This is definitely MY child.
