Lead Awareness

Lately I’ve been pondering about what to get Jayden for Christmas. He’ll be one day from being 9 months old, so he won’t require much. He’d probably be content with a blanket, wooden spoon and pot, lol. I would like for him to have clothes of course and some wooden toys. You can’t go wrong with wooden toys since so many toys are STILL being recalled. I remember last year moms were going on a frenzy throwing out all of the toys in their homes that were recalled and made in China. Out of curiosity I decided to see what’s on this years list of recalled toys. There are so many toys being recalled, a great portion for containing excessive levels of lead.

Lead can produce adverse effects on every system in the body. Lead can damage the kidneys, the nervous system, the reproductive system, and cause high blood pressure. It is especially harmful to the developing brains of fetuses and young children. Elevated blood lead levels can result in behavioral problems and developmental disabilities. Lead at extremely high levels (70 µg/dL or higher) can result in seizures, coma, and even death.

In striving to help parents protect their kids from objects containing harmful lead, check4lead.com offers a Lead Paint Kit that enables you to conduct your own Lead Test. The lead test kit contains swabs in which you can use on any surface to check for the presence of lead. If lead is present, the swab turns pink. Simple as that. And best of all, it’s non-toxic!

A single Lead Test swab can be had for just a couple of bucks, a very small price to way when it’s concerning our childrens’ well being.

Trying Out For The Supermom Role.

supermom Trying Out For The Supermom Role. - Mommy Daddy Blog A Baby Blog

Something really great happened to us a week ago. It is why I’ve been able to be more productive. We will be blogging about it separately as it deserves a separate dedication. I’m on such a high!

I am not Supermom, but I will attempt to reach my idea of the status. My mother always tells me that being a mom is tough and just by tending to Jayden is an accomplishment. I know I can do so much more. Giving myself goals and actually accomplishing them makes me feel wonderful inside so I’m going to push myself to be involved more around the blogosphere. Daddy and I have many, many projects we’re dabbling in, some of which will be open to the public, others that we may keep a secret once we get really good at it. I really believe in the sayings the early bird gets the worm and you snooze, you lose. I was feeling like I was losing until that really great thing happened… stay tuned for that really great thing.

I’m going to take on this rising phenomenon called vlogging. I’ll be over at New Baby weekly (hopefully) with something. I have so many videos to upload of Jayden so I have to catch up. I can’t keep hiding behind the camera though. I absolutely hate how I sound on camera and after watching myself, ew. How will I ever do this? I have so many ideas but I need to work on my fear of public speaking. I’ll get over it. I like to answer questions, plus they make for easy content, lol. So if there is anything that you guys want me to answer in a vlog or here on Mommy Daddy Blog feel free to email me at vblog(at)mommydaddyblog.com. It has to be parenting related!

I will also be participating in the Graco Nation Ambassador Program. By being a member of the program, I’ll have the opportunity to get involved with Graco by giving feedback and input to Graco decision makers and other great opportunities. The program is still in the beta stages, but it will evolve over time. The website which will feature all 42 of us (weee!) will be open to the public soon. I want to encourage you all to join the Ready.Safe.Go! Car Seat Club, where parents can get information on state car seat regulations, proper installation, and knowing when a child is ready to move to their next seat, among other things. Graco will donate 1 car seat to a family in need for every 10 members that signs up for Ready.Safe.Go! So what are you waiting for? Join!

I must run now, I have to finish Gina’s blog design (sorry!) and I realized I have 2 reviews due. Eeek, I have todos written all over notebook paper and my desktop calendar! Expect an exciting giveaway which will be up by tonight! *Thinks of a clever way to end this.* Later!

Plug: makemesuper.com - hilarious online toy by Kodak where you can superfy the whole family! I snorted when I saw mine!
