Dropside Crib Alternatives
So all this banning/outlawing got you nervous about what to put your baby in at night?
There are some other, more unusual options out there,most are guaranteed to make your job as a parent easier, and slightly unnecessary. You're sure to get a good nights sleep, and be the talk of all your friends with some of these unusual cribs I found on the net today. No worries about drop-side catastrophes here!
1. The Suima Crib. Mimicking the gentle, loving arm movements of Mom (or Dad) it rocks side to side every 1.8 seconds. There's even a "baby cry" sensor so you can sleep through the night. No worries about slat entrapment, a safety net keeps junior safely tucked in at night. Sadly, you may have to travel to Japan to pick this one up, and it will set you back $5000. crunchgear.com
2. The Infant Eggy Bed. Found at xoxobook.com It looks more like a travel pod that Mork from Ork might have taken when he was a newborn than baby bed. Cool though, in a modern, minimalist, futuristic sort of way.
3. Slightly creepy, the Itellicot is smart and supposedly safe. It rocks the baby to sleep, it lifts up and down so you don't break your back getting your baby to bed, and has a built in fan (for air circulation and a/c) and baby monitor.
4. Maybe you would like your baby to have dreams of sleeping in the wild of the African Savana. (or in the belly of a zebra) This crib from ninetoninedesigns.com is designed to look like a zebra. The head acts as a tray for bottles and baby needs, the tail has shelves for arms reach storage. Classy little wheels make it moveable around the room. Check it out at Intellitots.com
5. This tank crib found on Dwell Studio was made by some parents who wanted something unusual and couldn't find one they liked. Made of walnut and plastic, it's kind of more aquarium than crib. To each his own.
6. If you still can't find something that feels safer than a typical crib, there's always cardboard.
Complete with wheels and mattress, babygadget.net, all for $308.

Cribs Banned
Just like had been previously predicted, the Government is going forward with banning/outlawing drop-side cribs for infant use. This means manufacturing, selling, and re-selling of drop-side cribs will be considered illegal starting next June.
Over the past 10 years there has been 30 infant/newborn deaths associated with drop side crib construction. These cribs can malfunction on the sliding side rail allowing a baby to get trapped between the mattress and rail, entraping and/or suffocating them.
The new safety regulation will introduce more rigorous testing for crib safety, and improve warning labels and instructions making sure parents are assembling cribs correctly.
The CPSC is not requiring any drop side cribs currently in use to be disposed of, but that parents with drop side cribs go to cpsc.gov/cribs to make sure there are no warnings on the cribs they are currently using.
11 million cribs have been recalled since 2007. The largest back in November when 2.1 million cribs by Storkcraft were recalled.

Some items are a bit on the pricier side, but $30 should make a nice dent in the prices to still get you a great buy on something very nice this Christmas.
Check out the website here.
Really liking the unique and useful selection of great buys from Mamapedia lately. Today you can get some great reusable grocery and produce bags from Flip Flop. I like the way these look simply because they look like the regular plastic shopping bags but out of a nylon like material. Easy to tote around, and easy to load up your groceries and get them home. Check them out here. Remember, select your school to donate 5% of your purchase.
Great coupon from Michael's today. One is good only today and tomorrow, and there are some great sales going on this weekend as well. Click here for coupon.

Work At Home Mom of the Month - December
Shalonda Kull had a secure job in an unsecure job market. Rubbing elbows with CEO's and presidents, sometimes it was glamorous and sometimes running the rat race was enough to make her crave a simpler existence. With two young children growing up quickly in front of her eyes, her world of living from one day to the next was less than she had desired it to be. Though she loves being an Air Force wife to her supportive husband Ryan, the chance of deployment is always a possibility, and it was during those times that being home and being physically, mentally, and emotionally available to her kids was even more important.
The presence of faith and spiritual support called her heart to believe that home was where she needed to be. Peace for her family would be the big payoff.
But even peace is a hard thing to achieve even when you are a stay at home Mom. Every Mom experiences the "crazy Mom cycle" and desires to get some sort of break from it all. With lots of creative energy and now extra time to explore it, she started making bows and tutu's for her infant daughter Emma. Friends and family loved them and encouraged her to sell them. Hence Kull Kreations was born. Quickly she then discovered though, that photography is where her passion lies.
Shalonda speaks of her photography as something she is "choosing" to do because she loves it. The enjoyment is the payment, and the money she makes is a bonus. Having a part in creating memories for someone helps her to walk away with a happy heart, knowing that it is something that will always be enjoyed. She understands the importance in capturing that precious moment in time and turning it into a treasure that will be kept for a lifetime. She strives to capture a timeless look, bringing out the full personality of the subject.
Getting busier and busier she is looking forward to growing her business by taking some classes specifically aimed at learning her camera and classes on editing tools and techniques to bring her into a more professional level. Her past experience at her Supply Chain Management position provided her the ability to organize her time, and deal with all sorts of different personalities, as well as getting a lot of time in behind a computer. She credits her friend Megan as huge source of support and inspiration. Megan has always been a positive supporter of her work and encourages her when she's down. She is a friend that will drop everything to help her with whatever. (We all adore friends like that!)

In addition to Megan, she has a huge support group of friends and family. Her Mother-in-Law is always there providing necessary tools and encouragement. Her church book group "GTalksquared", and her Aunt Lindy have been her source of spiritual support and encouragement. "I wouldn't even be taking pictures if the Lord hadn't put it in my path," Shalonda says, "and they are always there to help me do my best to stay on his path. I'm so thankful for God's spiritual gifts that he has provided for me." Shalonda does portrait shots, families, maternity and engagement photos. She can work on location at your home or place of your choosing, or she has a variety of places to shoot where she loves to capture that timeless moment!
