Clean Well hand sanitizer is a great find now available at Target. Its alcohol free formula is made of essential plant oils and kill 99.9% of all germs. Clean Well is safe for your kids to use even if they are putting their hands in their mouths afterwards.

It comes in a six pack so you can share with your husband, put one in your older kid’s backpack and still have one for each of your favorite purses and a diaper bag. I have been carrying around a bottle since our baby was born and I find myself reaching for it all the time!

I recently came across a new website developed by Nickelodean called Parents Connect. The slogan itself made me laugh out loud - “We’re not perfect. We’re parents.” How true that is. This website has been very helpful for managing our life with a five year old. It is divided by groups from pregnancy through teens, each area offering age-appropriate advice, activities and other information.

Even better are the pages regarding meal planning. Who couldn’t use a little help in that area? Our son has a food allergy and there was even information regarding this topic. Under the entertainment section they have recommendations for family-friendly movies and other TV shows.

You can participate in discussions, connect with local parents and find information on events in your location. Everything you need from planning a vacation to a party is all there. Take a few minutes and go look around. I guarantee you will find something useful.
