I was wishing for the perfect larger pillow to keep my 3 & 5 year olds heads from dropping as they sleep, but it’s not much different then the littler ones I purchased for them as babies. Biggest problem is I have no way to attachd the strap in my cars back seats the headrests are contoured with no metal bar or area I can connect the strap too. I tried the latches in the back that are up top and had no way to make that work either. I’ve tried things to hold it in place, but it slides around alot and really does not stop the head from flopping as I hoped. The idea is ok, but needs improvement.

This item was great. The only problem I have is that my car does not have head rests in the back seat, so I had to attatch it a little differently.
Other than that, I think it is a great product.

Great, my daughter loves it, her head won’t giggle all over and will not have a neck pain. We live in Beverly Hills, CA and the commute is horrible so this is working well. I am planing to use for my one year old soon. Soft and cozy by the way.

Not many people would scoff at the idea of attending a Hawaiian Luau. The feel of the islands, with the palm trees swaying in the wind, cool breezes brushing across tanned bodies soaking up the sun by the pool are just the ultimate in pleasure. The feel of the islands, the smell of the islands, and the taste of the islands are all within the confines of your own backyard.
Where do you begin? If you have a pool, you can decorate around the pool so that it looks like a tropical island paradise. Add the essence of tropical fruits, drinks, and other food delicacies, and you?ll feel like you have been transported to the Polynesian Islands. If you add some hula dances with authentic grass skirts and leis, you?re surely going to feel a taste of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands.
A Hawaiian luau is not your typical backyard barbeque fare of hamburgers, hotdogs, and steaks served with soda or beer. Tropical drinks such as punches served in coconuts and pineapples are common at the luau. Many dishes are oriental in nature such as fried rice and teriyaki beef; however, some additional spices and ingredients have been added to give it a taste of Hawaii. In addition, common at luaus are tropical fruits such as pineapples, mangos, kiwi, coconuts, and limes.
The luau would not be complete without the tropical sounds of the islands. You will not find rock or Top 40 for a luau because you need the sounds of the islands to make your luau authentic. With the right decorations, food, costumes, and music, your guests will certainly relax and dream that they have been transported to the Polynesian Islands for an evening of bliss. If you?re not sure what kind of party supplies you need or where to find them, a search of the Internet will provide several places where you can purchase supplies and find menus and recipes that will make your luau successful.
Mrs. Party… Gail Leino is the internet’s leading authority on selecting the best possible party supplies, using proper etiquette and manners while also teaching organizational skills and fun facts. Luau Party Supplies, party planning tips, menus, recipes, free party games to help complete your event.

There’s an epidemic in our culture. Have you heard of the ‘fear of failure flu?’
Early symptoms include sweaty palms and a knot in the stomach. Those in the middles stages of the ‘disease’ have an intense focus on ‘resume building’ — children’s activities are no longer for fun but become accomplishments that will somehow separate some important future application from the rest of the pack. A form of paralysis (that keeps kids from trying new things at which they might not instantnly excel) is a symptom only visible in the later stages of the disease.
Parents who want to teach kids to value effort for its own sake start with themselves. They start with their own fears. Everyone fails from time to time; when we don’t it’s often because we’re not stretching far enough!
To vaccinate your kids agains the ‘fear of failure flu’ a careful self examination may be in order. After all, to thrive, a virus needs a carrier and a hospitable environment. As parents, it’s importnat that we take steps to make sure we’re not ‘carriers’ of the very behavior we’re trying to help our kids avoid!
For example, if you’re too hard on yourself when you ‘come up short’ do you hide that fact from your children? Could you, instead, share the fact that you — and they — are human beings with a lot to learn and there will always be times in life when we fail at something we care about? There is strength in learning to view setbacks as learning.
Which outlook is supported by the environment that your kids are in?
