Onguard Kids Digital Watch With Safety Alarm
$29.99
My husband got this watch for my oldest son and I was a bit skeptical as I didn't want to have to listen to the loud alarm all day long. The DVD was actually great and taught my son when to use the alarm and when not too. The parental controls are also nice so that I can shut the watch alarm off when he is safe at home. Great product.

$6.99
Our 10-month-old daughter has guided us in thoroughly baby-proofing the house, but until we purchased these we could not figure out what to do with the plants short of removing them all together. Several large palm trees provided all kinds of fun for her as daily she would remove the rocks that lie over the dirt and then dig in, spilling and trying to eat the dirt underneath. Other smaller plants were the same except that with her growing strength she could pull them all the way over, providing plenty of dirt and rocks to play with all over the carpet!

These simple nets proved to be exactly what we needed. Installing them on the larger pots was a bit tricky even with two people, and best done when the pot is really dry. We were impressed at how large they stretched, and how well the tops rebounded. My only complaint is that they are not at all tight around the stalks of the plants so they definitely need securing with safety pins or stitching, which I think should be included along with some quick instructions. They do also make watering a bit trickier as some of the water tends to run off the mesh, especially if it is poured too fast. But other than that they are wonderful, very strong when tugged on by little hands, and so far keep in all rocks and dirt if plants are tipped over.

Though we were able to cut them up a little more than the packages specify, I would recommend purchasing the proper sizes and following the guidelines for using the larges as one, mediums as two, etc. and not trying to get too cheap and just chop up the bigger ones. They work best if they cover the entire container on glazed ceramic pots, and at least 2/3 of the way down on terracotta: the rough surface kind of grabs and holds them in place, allowing them to be shorter and still work. Overall we are so happy we found these, they have permitted us to end the redecorating aka baby-proofing the house without removing one of our favorite features. My husband even thinks the plants are kind of 'sexy' now too, since they basically are all wearing black fishnets :-)

The Miracle Swimmer Learn to Be in Control in Water, Shallow and Deep: Prevent Panic
$49.98
Classes on video as seen on NBC's TODAY Show and CNN's Headline News. Want to swim? Afraid to? Believe it or not, you can. Whether or not you have taken swimming lessons before, there's nothing that can stop you from freedom in the water if you start at the beginning and skip no steps. If you're afraid in deep water, you haven't experienced these steps yet. What is swimming? It's confidence in water. It's not just strokes. Once a person can swim (be confident in water), then he or she can learn strokes easily. Afraid students typically don't learn to swim because they are focused on survival. You can turn that around. You must be in control to learn to swim. The nuts and bolts of being in control in the water is the key to learning to swim that has freed our 2200 students at Transpersonal Swimming Institute since 1983. The nuts and bolts are uniquely depicted in this videotape. Watch two unrehearsed classes of afraid students learning the same way you would if you were in class. Once you're in control, you can learn mechanics. (Strokes are not part of this tape.) This is the answer to reaching your swimming goals. First things first. It cannot and does not fail. Learn to prevent panic: go straight to the heart of the problem of "losing it."
