COULSON'S CRIB INTRODUCES NEATNIK SAUCER™
Groundbreaking Product Makes Dining Out Fun for Parents and Babies
HOUSTON – May 13, 2008 – Dining out with babies and toddlers is about to change for parents everywhere, thanks to the new Neatnik Saucer™. The patent-pending design provides an expanded, clean dining area for baby while keeping toys and food from falling to the floor.
For many parents, eating out is a pleasure that they remember from their pre-baby days or that they save for date night. When parents bring their young child with them to a restaurant, the event is often more stressful than enjoyable. Dining with young children presents many challenges, from repeatedly picking up wayward toys and leaving a "garden of food" underneath the high chair, to worrying about the baby teething on an unsanitary table or enduring nasty looks from fellow patrons or restaurant staff.
Fortunately, the Neatnik Saucer solves these problems and makes dining out with babies and toddlers a pleasant experience. The Neatnik Saucer fits in all standard restaurant high chairs and provides a large tray that overlaps with the adults' table. Its raised rim keeps food and drink from spilling over to the floor or table, and its Velcro straps keep toys, pacifiers and other entertaining items within the child's reach.
For today's harried, on-the-go parents, the Neatnik Saucer is also easy to use, easy to clean and easy to carry. After using, the oilcloth and nylon fabric can be cleaned quickly with baby wipes and collapsed into a small disc in a matter of seconds. Each Neatnik Saucer comes with a handy 12-inch by 12-inch carrying bag that attaches to strollers and diaper bags or can be worn around the wrist for extra portability.
The Neatnik Saucer was invented by the founders of Coulson's Crib, LLC, the mother-and-daughter team of Cookie Centracco and Danielle Batchelor. The two conceived the idea for the Neatnik Saucer shortly after they began dining out with Danielle's young son.
The Neatnik Saucer will be available in four different styles on www.neatniksaucer.com, and is appropriate for babies and toddlers ages 6 months and up.

My Friend, Gina
Posted March 9th, 2008 by hipmommyI would like to talk about my good online friend, Gina. Gina is a very sweet & talented artist. She sells her hand made ceramics & paintings at Etsy.com. Her shop name is gina m studio. I love her designs. When I started to blog last year, Gina gave me a donation towards my mom's attorney fees. Back then my online income was very low, so her donation definitely helped me. She was also one of the first people to encourage me to earn money online. Now that my online/offline income has increased, I decided to purchase a few things from Gina's shop as a token of thanks.
I ordered two plates & one of her original paintings. Gina sent me those items quickly including the extra matching bowl to go with one of the plates. I bought the painting for my daughter's room. As soon as I opened the package, Gina's painting put a big smile on my daughter's face. Just look at the pictures of items that I purchased from Gina. Aren't these adorable? Everyone reading this post must visit gina m studio and browse through her items. I guarantee you that you will fall in love
with her ceramic designs.
A little note to Gina:
Thank you Gina for including a thoughtful card along with one of the items that I ordered. You are so sweet! I hope that you received my email and are reading this post. Big hugs & kisses from me and my daughter to you! Keep in touch!
