I have to admit; when I first saw these it gave me pause. But after thinking about it, if I had a small child, I probably would order them. I remember the fears I had of my son getting lost. I think they would come in very handy if you were taking your child to the fair, or a large sporting event where the crowds are so large and there is always the possibility that your little one could get away from you. I also think the medical ones would be great when your child was going to a birthday party, starting school, or any kind of new environment, just to make sure everyone was aware of the allergy. Tottoos.org sells customized safety decals designed specifically for small children.

The price seems very reasonable.  You can get a set of 15 customized identification tottoos, or customized medical tottoos for $13, plus $2.50 for shipping. According to the website, they are applied just like a temporary tattoo, but do not dissolve in water. The tottoos come with disposable towelettes that easily remove them.

I would love to hear what you think about these in the comments section.

I have used this recipe since I found it in my Southern Living Magazine in 2003. Everyone will love you if you make this! Promise!

Pumpkin-Pecan Bread

3  cups sugar
1  cup vegetable oil
4  large eggs
1  (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 1/2  cups all-purpose flour
2  teaspoons baking soda
2  teaspoons salt
1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
1  teaspoon ground allspice
1  teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2  teaspoon ground cloves
2/3  cup water
1  to 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans, toasted

Beat first 11 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 3 minutes or until blended. Add 2/3 cup water, beating until blended. Stir in pecans. Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9- x 5-inch loafpans.

Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes (325 for dark pans)or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire rack.

NOTE: Bread may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Well, first, you have to start off with the Ped-Pro. See my previous post on this miracle product to get your feet all smooth and soft.

But once you do that, you can make them even softer. I use Vaseline Deep Moisture Creamy Formula on the bottoms of my feet, then put some socks on and go to bed.

I’ve waited to tell you about this glam product until it was a little cooler because every time I tell a friend about this they freak out about putting socks on their feet when they go to bed. The first time I ever had a pedicure, I was so looking forward to being pampered. Didn’t happen. My manicurist scrubbed the bottoms of my feet raw while telling me that I could not go barefoot in the house because it was the carpet fibers that were making my heels rough. Not wanting to ever go through that again, I quickly started wearing socks around the house, and then to bed with this lotion slathered on the bottom. If you still cannot stand to sleep with socks on, then at least one day a week try wearing flats or tennis shoes with socks and giving yourself a daytime treatment. You’ll thank me. You know I’m right.

I so want to hear from each of you regarding your beauty treatments.  Please share!
