I used to scrapbook—yes, I used to take the time to shape photos and
place them over decorative and themed backgrounds and then write
paragraphs of descriptions on each page. That was well before I had
children, when I had time to print pictures and when I had time to sit
and look at them. Since photography has gone digital, my hope has been
to compile photo books for each year’s worth of photos, but I’m seven
years behind schedule. And apparently not up to speed with a new form of
capturing life’s moments. Shapify allows you to create three
dimensional figurines of you and your family. Now you can turn yourself
into an actual 3D selfie.

This product scares the bejesus out of me.
Genaissance Global has the answer for getting boys to "stand up and go" when they are learning to use the potty with The Splashdown! Trainer.

It’s also an interactive potty training tool when Splashy! cheers on your son and reminds him to put the toilet seat down when done.

When babies venture outside with their parents, most are hanging out in a front carrier and are draped in a blanket or blinded by a hat meant to protect them from the sun. Enter Shaidee. Canadian mom, Nicole Barrett, invented a chemical-free alternative to sunscreen. And bad fashion.
Bellabeat

baby’s heartbeat and kicking patterns while it’s still in the womb. The

For most people having a baby is one of the most wondrous and miraculous events in their lives. Now people can really get up close and personal with their baby before it is born by ordering a 3D print of their fetus. Is it cool? Is it disturbing? It is apparently up to the taste of the couple considering making the product. They sell for between $200 and $600 depending on the size you choose.
