As a mom working or not I think we always need to do several things at the same time and I discovered that the kids ate when we are on the phone or try to send an email while they are awake.
So the IPhone is perfect because they can be at the playground or we can be everywhere and enjoy this time to write an email, to read a newspaper online.
A friend of mine discovered it this summer also and with her twins and her little daughter she just has her handful but this tool help her like me to be more free. And another thing I enjoy is that the family loves having pictures of our little ones and sometimes with a camera, the time we download the pictures, and send them, days goes by and sometimes it is too late.
I just enjoy taking pictures and send them immediately to anybody. My IPhone is my new buddy and you how do you use it?
After their chocolate milk or pasta with tomato sauce it is always good to have something to wash their durty face. Of course you can use the baby wipes but my kids just love too much baby wipes to play with it.
Until last year I was using a face cloth (the French type, where you slide your hand inside, it is called a "gant de toilette") that you normally use to wash your body or for my kids ears and head.
Until I discovered in US that most mums have wash wipes, for some it is even a gilt for the baby shower. The wash cloth is thinner and dry faster than the French glove, and doesn’t smell that bad after just one use. So I bought like 20 from Carter’s that you can find at Target.
So far I didn’t find any in Paris. So for the one we live in France, don’t hesitate to ask for it, it is those little things that helped me to be more green oriented. Voilà!
Travelling between France and US, offers me the opportunity to find the best gears for my kids.
So I would like to share with you some of the things I really appreciate from France and US. With the first baby I discovered not always at the right time all the things I would love to have for the second baby.
For me the first things I brought back from US were the vibrating bouncer from Fisher Price and the Bassinet from Kolcraft. I just could not live without them. The baby was always in movement in his mother tummy so when it doesn’t move he cries so I had always the cradle close to my bed that I could move with one hand when he was crying. And to be all set some people just swear by the Ergo baby Carrier and the Phil&Teds stroller.
When my kids grow-up I found in US something to give medicine and to feed them without chocking.
When you are in France some brands are really appreciated in US such as: Petit Bateau (be careful they don’t cut the pyjamas in the same way in France and US), Jacadi, Mustela. It is really good brands and more expensive in US. Now you are ready for a smart shopping!
