Baby Wit has a great "get it" factor when it comes to moms who want to dress their kids in everything and anything other than cute, fuzzy teddy bears or "equally uninteresting creatures."

Baby Wit has a great collection of quirky, eclectic, urban-to-suburban chic, including the largest collection of comic infant toddler t's online.

What I loved is their clothing picked to get into the Halloween spirit and thought these skull and cross bones kicks were awesome and this red infinity skulls shift dress was rockin' too!

Baby Wit also carries organic baby gifts and even cool accessories for the other "good boy" in your life, the pup! Woof!

Last year, I was using several services to track my physical activity throughout the day for weight loss. I had to enter in my workouts and my caloric intake. Then I added the Nike Plus, which tracked my mileage and the pace of my runs, and then allowed me to upload my workout to my Nike Plus dashboard.

Available early next year, I am really looking forward to utilizing the Fitbit Tracker an advanced monitor to track my activity throughout the day and even the quality of my sleep. Fitbit is the all-in-one fitness and sleep monitor (using motion sensing technology) to help track your level of activity throughout the day...and night. The small bluetooth device fits to your clothing worn throughout the day. The data collected is wirelessy uploaded to your own Fitbit dashboard where you can monitor and measure your progress.

FitBit seems to simplify and aggregate all of the necessary information into one health and wellness dashboard to log food, activities and track weight. The Fitbit device then does all of the rest, showing how many calories burned for the day and other personal stats.

As a result of the pet food scare and recall earlier this year, we have been on a quest to find pet foods that eliminates much of the elements unnatural to our cat and dog's diet. This summer, we came across Merrick Pet Foods new line of pet food for dogs and cats called B.G. - Before Grain. It is by far the best canned food and kibble we have given our pets. We have seen significant results in their digestion and their coat and nails. We've even seen an improvement in one of our dogs allergic sensitivities, which always seemed to rise after meals.

With two indoor cats now reaching 16 years old and two 90-lb eating machines, B&G is a product we spend a little more money on, but know they are getting the best nutrition, which keeps them healthy and us happy!
