Each year, there’s always one or two big toys that come out near the holiday season that are meant to entertain kids for hours on end. This year, Bigfoot the Monster uses over 80 actions and phrases to keep whomever it is behind the remote control laughing and imitating his life-sized moods.
From burping to laughing, eating to sleeping, this is one creature that will be great playmates for your little ones (at least until the batteries run out).
Learn more about this remote-controlled beast by visiting the official page on the Fisher-Price website. You can also share your mood using the Bigfoot Mood app on Facebook (now through Dec. 15th) and enter to win a Bigfoot of your very own.

It’s all very innocent…trust me.
It began as soon as my son started to talk – and recognize colors. You see, according to him, people’s “colors” change as often as their clothes – literally. Of course if he knows the person by name, he’ll refer to them that way. This color description he created is for those he doesn’t know, or for times when he can’t remember a person’s name.
The first time he used this type of terminology to refer to someone was after a holiday spent with my family. There were quite a few people he had been introduced to and it was pretty overwhelming. Afterwards, I asked him if he had fun playing with his cousins and he remembered their names and talked about them for several days afterwards.
Then one day, he asked me who the “white guy” was. I was floored when he said it and asked him to repeat the question. After several questions – of my own – I realized that he was referring to one of my relatives who just so happened to be wearing a white sweatshirt during the family gathering.
Last night, two years after this initial conversation, he insisted that I sleep with his “white guy” last night since he was sleeping with the “green guy.”
The guys he was referring to were his new BIONICLE® Lego sets that we purchased yesterday. They were on sale – Buy One, Get One Free. I couldn’t resist the opportunity to take advantage of such a bargain.
I smile when people look at my son and I strangely after overhearing our public discussions about “black guys” and “white guys” in particular. They have no idea that people’s skin colors do not even phase him.
I’m concerned about who he’ll share this information with.
But, I won’t deny it. I slept with a white guy last night.

I love to shop, especially on line. I can shop on my own time, at my own pace, add things to my virtual shopping cart and return later to look over everything before I make a purchase.
If you’re anything like me, you receive dozens of print catalogs in your mailbox each week, maybe even more.
I just discovered an easy way to opt-out of these catalog mailings. Whether you’re receiving catalogs that are of no interest to you, you prefer to shop on line, or you’re looking for ways to help save the environment, sign up at Catalog Choice and learn about how you can stop having the bulky catalogs from arriving in the mail.
Catalog Choice is a free service that allows you to decide what gets in your mailbox. Use it to reduce your mailbox clutter, while helping save natural resources.
Catalog Choice is a sponsored project of the Ecology Center. It is endorsed by the National Wildlife Federation and the Natural Resources Defense Council, and funded by the Overbrook Foundation, the Merck Family Fund, and the Kendeda Fund.
The mission of Catalog Choice is to reduce the number of repeat and unsolicited catalog mailings, and to promote the adoption of sustainable industry best practices.

I attended a networking event over the weekend, where I met many wonderful business owners from the area.
Interestingly enough, many of these companies were those I’d have recommended to others, had I discovered them on my own.
Having met so many successful business-owners at this event, I’m even more inspired now to share my services through Happy Healthy Hip Parenting.
I was thrilled to be talking to others about my company and to discuss the importance of family with parents like myself and to encourage them to see the value of investing in the most rewarding relationships they will ever have – the relationship between parent and child as well as the relationship between co-parents.
Already, after marketing and advertising for only six months I have received a number of inquires, enrolled several people in the parenting workshops scheduled at Java Mama in La Mesa, and have witnessed amazing moms and dads with unique family dynamics learn to work together and welcome into their lives a new way of communicating and growing as a family.
There are many unique and wonderful family-owned businesses in the San Diego area. I encourage you to check out the companies listed here and include any comments you may have about these, or other locally-owned businesses that you support.
Each year, there’s always one or two big toys that come out near the holiday season that are meant to entertain kids for hours on end. This year, Bigfoot the Monster uses over 80 actions and phrases to keep whomever it is behind the remote control laughing and imitating his life-sized moods.
