What: Skuut Wooden Balance Bike
Why: ”No pedals?” My three-year-old thought the bike was broken when he first saw it, but after sitting on it for a few minutes, he realized it wasn’t broken at all. He just put his feet down and started “skuuting” across the floor…with a huge smile plastered on his face. No pedals necessary.
It’s amazing to see how fast he’s learning how to steer and balance (without training wheels!), and these skills will make it easier for him to transition to a real bike. But that’s down the line. For now, he’s just having fun riding it around the block. (more…)

This article on MSNBC caught my eye. A woman in Iowa with a freezer full of breast milk took an ad out in the local paper in an attempt to sell 100 ounces for $200 or the best offer.
It seems that the 22-year-old has more milk than she needs since her daughter won’t drink from a bottle. According to the story, she’s already donating to the University of Iowa’s Milk Bank, but had pumped the “for sale” milk before she was screened for the bank, so they won’t take it. But, apparently, neither will the people of Iowa; at press time there were no serious offers.
So, say you’re a mom with more than your share of breast milk. There’s no law against you selling your milk and you can sure use the extra money. And as any nursing mom can tell you, pumping breast milk is work.
So tell us, would you sell your breast milk? Would you buy breast milk from someone else? Click here to take the poll and see what other moms think.
