Purex Crystals for Baby Review and Giveaway! (U.S.) Ends 2/24 (Rafflecopter)

I really loved the smell of the Purex Crystals for Baby. The smell is absolutely divine! I honestly feel as though Purex Crystals for Baby has captured that New Baby Smell! I can't get enough of them. I put a little in every load of laundry. I woke up this morning smelling their scent on my pillowcase. What a great way to wake up! They have a very light scent to them, compared to the other Purex Crystals. They aren't just for babies, they are just more gentle, dye free, and hypoallergenic. All of the Purex fabric softener Crystals are safe for children's sleepwear! This makes me especially happy because we live in a two story house, and it's tough sleeping and worrying about a fire breaking out in our home, and hurting my babies.

Purex is hosting a Purex Crystals for Baby Sweepstakes! One grand prize winner will receive $1,000! 250 additional winners will receive free bottles of Purex Crystals for Baby!

A Chrome Experiment made with some friends from OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL!

You won’t need magical powers to take a journey down the Yellow Brick Road; just point your favorite browser to the latest Chrome Experiment, “Find Your Way to Oz.” Developed in collaboration with Disney and UNIT9 in anticipation of the upcoming film, Oz The Great and Powerful, this experiment takes you through a dusty Kansas circus and leads to a vibrant land, following in the footsteps of the Wizard himself.





Like any good circus, there’s plenty to keep you entertained: compose your own music, play with a fun photo booth and create your own movie with a zoetrope. The path to Oz also involves confronting an ominous tornado; surviving it completes the journey, enabling fans of the movie to watch an exclusive unreleased clip from the film.

Chrome Experiments like “Find Your Way to Oz” would have been impossible a few years ago. Since that time, the web has evolved and allowed developers and designers to create immersive beautiful experiences. For “Find Your Way to Oz” the 3D environment was built entirely with new technologies such as WebGL and CSS3. It’s enhanced by rich audio effects thanks to the Web Audio Application Programming Interface (API). The photo booth and zoetrope were built using the getUserMedia feature of WebRTC, which grants webpages access to your computer’s camera and microphone (with your permission).

For the best experience, you’ll need to use an up-to-date computer built to handle intense graphics. It also works best with a webcam and a modern browser that supports WebGL and WebRTC, like Chrome. The experience also works best on For tablet or smartphone users, we have a smaller scale yet equally enjoyable experience that you can try with the latest Chrome browser on your Android device, iPhone or iPad.

If you want to learn more, or run away and join the developer circus, you can get an explanation of the technologies used on the Chromium blog or in Google’s technical case study.

Start your journey towards the yellow brick road at www.findyourwaytooz.com.

Would You Take Your Teenage Son Into The Women's Restroom With You?

There is an article on Free Range Kids about this topic. One woman had a cow because another woman took her 12 or 13 year old son into the women's restroom with her. I honestly, don't have a problem with it. I wouldn't have a problem with sharing a restroom that was co-ed with men. We are locked in stalls that usually no one else can see through anyways. What if your child has special needs? What if he is curious and crawls on the floor and peaks under the stall wall? What if he stands on the toilet he is using to peak over the side? I hate to say it, but it's not much different then what he has seen or see's at home.

I don't see why there's an issue, to be honest. I have a five and a half year old son, a three and a half year old daughter, and a seven month old. If my son wants to go into the men's restroom by himself, then I normally stand in the entrance and spy on him from watching his reflection in the mirror, or I stand at the door so I can watch him, or I stand with my foot in the door and I don't let any other grown men into the restroom until my son comes out. I haven't had any man that has had a problem with me doing this, yet. Now if a man were to be bringing his son in with him, then I would let them in. But a single guy alone in the restroom with my five and a half year old son? No thank you. They can hold it!

What are your thoughts?

What if things were opposite? At what age do you stop taking your daughter into the Men's restroom with you? I feel that maybe six, seven, or eight years old, that a little girl could go in by herself. But I would expect my husband to stand at the door and listen for her, and go in if she called him to do so. I would go into the men's restroom if my son called me. I don't care about what I would see, let alone, smell. the safety and happiness of my children is what matters. Especially if we are out of town and in California visiting family, I am usually a lot more protective over them, for sure.
