Porsche is entering the Stroller Game!

I am more of a Toyota - Honda person, but when I saw this I just had to share. Porsche has entered the stroller market with this sleek designed P'4911 model, created by industrial designer Dawid Dawod. It's sleek, masculine, has ball bearing axle-less wheels , and supposedly will fit in the trunk of any Porsche. My question is where does your child ride after the stroller has taken up the entire back seat area? Who cares! It's cool and Its a Porsche! This is not on the market yet, but I can't wait to see one. Cost? It could set the new high mark for luxury strollers. Again, who cares! It will be the true Porsche of strollers.

Bad Parenting Tips!

I came across a blog today while enjoying my morning coffee. Unfortunately, it made me laugh so hard I almost sprayed my keyboard with coffee! Really bad parenting advice is a hilarious tounge and cheek blog about what to teach (or not teach!), your children. Parenting is fulfilling and beautiful, and I know that we all take it very seriously. Its fun just to laugh! Enjoy! Some of my favorite bits of advice from the blog are:

Rule #99: Encourage Your Daughter to Date a Carny

Rule #13: Hit on Your Kid’s Teacher

Rule #16: Put Your Child on a Supermodel Diet
Rule #69: Transport Your Child in a Hamster Ball
Rule #70: Register for Your Baby Shower at a Pawnshop

Cardboard Highchair!

When I was a child card board boxes offered hours of entertainment and fascination. I once turned a box that housed a new stove into a space ship, then a pirate ship, and finally at days end, it became a post office. Not once did i think of turning it into a functional highchair!

I have seen this crazy chair floating around the web and in a few industry mags for a year or two, but have yet to see it in person. I love its simplicity, and its reuse, reduce, recycle pathos. It is the brain child of Turko-Australian designer/visionary Betul Medakbas . She realized what the world needed was more flatpack cardboard children's furniture, and so, with the help of noted Australian cardboard designer Anthony Dunn, Belkiz was born.

I have a strong feeling that I have not seen one for sale yet due to all the safety hoops this chair will have to jump through. Its own website -Belkiz.com , displays and informs us beautifully about the chair and its functions and sustainability, but does not offer any place to purchase it. We will have to wait a little longer for the world to embrace Cardboard baby furniture.

What's in a Name?

Choosing your baby's name is one of the most important thing you do as a parent. A lot of thought goes into naming a baby - will the name suit him or her, does it work with your surname and the names of the rest of the family, can it be abbreviated, is there any potential for teasing and so on. However, naming your baby takes on a whole new dimension if you consider that the name you choose might actually affect your baby's future.

The belief that your name plays a significant role in determining your destiny is one that has been held for many, many years throughout the different cultures of the world. However in Western society the focus of naming has tended towards choosing names that sound nice (and possibly their superficial meaning), rather than in any deep rooted belief that names could actually affect the way our children's lives turn out. So, the question is do the names we choose for our children have more of an impact than we think?

Im not sure where I stand on the issue, but their is plenty of literature on names based in numerology and astrology that can really make choosing the perfect name difficult! Here is the list of the top 100 names being chosen so far in the states for 2011. My Daughter just informed me that the top two names listed this year are two of the main characters from the book/movie series Twilight! Happy Naming!
