Phone Issues

Getting it Done 1 Comment

Does anybody have some tips for cordless phones? My cordless phone battery stopped holding a charge. I unplugged it from the outlet it was in (at an angle) and plugged it in (flat) and it seems to be doing better now. My question is two-fold: do you think that was the problem? and is there anything I should do to recondition the battery?

Feeding the Masses, More Mothers of Many, Safety First No Comments

My pal Laura posted today about an accident her daughter had. If you have kids (I assume you do, since you are here) and they like to play on slides, her post is a must read. While you are there, check out the rest of her blog, too. She’s another Mother of Many. Laura tells it like it is and doesn’t pull any punches. She has 5 children, and that number includes 2 set of twins.

Thanks!

A few weeks ago, I posted about a cool Eddie Bauer diaper bag at withcharacterkids.com. What I didn’t mention at the time was that as part of that post, I was offered one of those diaper bags. It was right after I got my laptop, and I knew I would need a bag for it, and you know I am an “ouuta the box” thinker. I grabbed a ruler, took a few measurements, and gave a great big internal “YES!!!” I got the bag yesterday, and it’s perfect!

It’s got pockets for bottles the extra batteries, power cord, and mouse. It’s got a changing pad seat cushion. It a bckpack, so I can tote it and something else. There’s even room for a book in there, and a pouch to hold my note cards and pens.

Here’s picture to show it off, and yes the laptop actually fits all the way in there. I just wanted to prove that it was in there, so I left it hanging out a bit.

I recommend this bag for babies, and for laptops. Thanks WithCharacterKids and PayPerPost.
