Introducing Amazon Mom
No, not like having an Amazon for a mother in the Wonder Woman comics, but Amazon.com’s new membership service geared for parents and caregivers (not just mothers). This service is free and once you join, you’ll be notified of baby and toddler-related specials, receive discounts on items, and get free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime. For us Hawaii Amazonians, I doubt the Prime shipping will be available, but I haven’t researched this wrinkle yet.
It’s free – why wouldn’t you join?
What? No School Tomorrow
Looks like kids are getting a break tomorrow. Wonder if the weather will be that bad?
Time’s Top Ten
Time magazine has their Top 10 lists of just about everything. There’s a Top 10 list for albums, gadgets, children’s books, movies, and so much more.
Interesting stuff!
The Weekend in Pics – Baby Emporium, Mana Bu’s, Whole Foods
Pictures from the weekend. Checked out new infant car seats at the expanded Baby Emporium.
Went to Mana Bu’s for lunch. By the time we got there, they were pretty much wiped out, but we had to get something after reading this detailed review.
Parking is atrocious. The white rice musubis were already gone, and when things go, you’re pretty much out of luck.
The 10 Grains musubis weren’t too bad.
Lastly, off to the recently opened Whole Food Market in Kahala Mall. Was crowded(!) with umm, characters. Some interesting types shop at this healthier marketplace. I shoulda stuck with Starbucks coffee which is right across the way. The iced mocha from the Allegro coffee bar needed some help.
Pictures in a slide show format.
Hope you had a great weekend in Hawaii!

Fundraiser Bartering
Anyone interested in bartering school fundraisers? If you buy from us, we’ll buy from you (unless we already bought the same product from somebody else). What do we have?
Turkey drumsticks! Two for $10. For coworkers, we’ll pick up the drumsticks and bring to work for distribution. Pickup is set for Saturday, September 27. These smoked turkey drumsticks are fully cooked but frozen for a quick heat meal.
We also have gift wrapping and more from SallyFoster.com. You can look online for items you’re interested in and provide us the Item numbers. We can then order the items and get free shipping to Hawaii. The order will be delivered by Thursday, November 13, well in time for wrapping those Christmas gifts.
Any takers? Anyone?
Nuc Med Relief Via iPhone
How do you make an infant lie still for 90 minutes while a GI test is being done using a radioactive isotope? You better have an iPhone 3G handy, that’s how.
To see how things were working on the inside, this GI test was done but badly described to us. Instead of lying down, taking a picture then go play and repeat, it was lie down for 90 minutes straight, don’t leave the table. For an infant who just woke up, lying down doing nothing for one and a half hours is crazy.
We brought DVDs and a portable player, but there was no interest. Holding on to toys provided little comfort. Then I pulled out my iPhone 3G with a segment of Sesame Street on it. Instant silence and contentment as he watched Feist sing her adapted hit, 1234.
Elmo provided some relief as well. But when replays of this Sesame Street segment started losing its appeal, a jump over to YouTube brought in more distracting material. Norah Jones and Elmo singing Don’t Know Why, Debbie Harry and Kermit singing Rainbow Connection, and Andrea Bocelli singing Elmo to sleep.
90 minutes and a drained iPhone battery later, relived parents say thanks Apple and Sesame Street!
