A tribute to the stache

The moustache...Fads come and go, but the moustache has stood the test of time and still stands strong today!  It's a fun word to say and a fun thing to draw on pictures of people.  Come on, who doesn't love a good stache?  Especially a monster with a moustache!  That's right!  You can now get your monster with a moustache at my online boutique, Two Zany Zebras!

Works like magic!

When it comes to dealing with kids there are few things that really work like magic when they are hurt.  Of course an ice cream cone can typically raise a kid's spirit, but what if you don't have any ice cream at home?  Sending the offending brother or sister to time out usually does the trick in our house if the victim isn't "really" hurt.  But what can you do for all those monster owies your child gets throughout a typical day?   

As you can imagine, since I have three young kids, there are many bumps and bruises to deal with on a typical day.  That is why I created Hot/Cold Ouchy Bags.  They are perfect for when your little one feels they have a monster owie!  Just keep them in the freezer and get them out when needed.  I have found my kids will usually immediately calm down when I give them the ouchy bag.

They are great for bruises, bumps, muscle aches, headaches, ear aches, bug bites, bee stings, sunburns, fever relief, or just to cool down from a hard day of playing. Don’t limit these little monsters for just the kids! Adults can use them too for sinus headaches, backaches, muscle tension, and even to help reduce soreness and clogged milk ducts for the breast feeding mama.

With summer upon us, you might want to stock up on these little life savers.  Five new Hot/Cold Ouchy Bags were just listed in my baby boutique Two Zany Zebras!  Hurry in before they POOF and disappear!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,

And may trouble avoid you

Wherever you go.

–Irish blessing

Wishing you and yours a Happy St. Patrick's Day!  If you are not wearing green pinch yourself!  Seriously, pinch yourself!  You are NOT wearing green!  It's the rule, now pinch yourself! 

If you are looking for something green to brighten your day, head on over to Two Zany Zebras for a wide array of Green Monsters! 

Zany thought of the day:  Here’s to you and yours and to mine and ours. And if mine and ours ever come across to you and yours, I hope you and yours will do as much for mine and ours as mine and ours have done for you and yours!

Celebrating Dr. Seuss

“Look at me!
Look at me!

Look at me NOW!

It is fun to have fun

But you have

to know how.”

~The Cat in the Hat

Dr. Seuss

We are big fans of Dr. Seuss.  When I was younger I collected Dr. Seuss books and now enjoy sharing them with my kids.  In honor of Dr. Seuss's birthday we went to the Public Library where they had a Birthday Bash honoring Dr. Seuss.  Zany Janie and Silly Jilly dressed up in these adorable dresses from Aunt Ju Ju:

At the party they got to make hats and go fishing:

Play pin the green egg on the ham and make fun creations:

And of course read and have fun with Dr. Seuss books:

All the fun inspired me to make some new things for my baby boutique, Two Zany Zebras.  Currently my shop has six fun new Dr. Seuss Hot/Cold OUCHY BAGS for when you have a monster owie:

I also made six sets of ZANY MUCUS WIPES for runny noses or drooly pools of goo:

Zany thought of the day:  What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book?

Hot off the sewing machine!

They are back in my baby boutique, Two Zany Zebras!  Hot off the sewing machine!!!!

This cute Hot/Cold Ouchy Bag is perfect for when your little one feels they have a monster owie! These Hot/Cold Ouchy Bags are great for bruises, bumps, muscle aches, headaches, ear aches, bug bites, bee stings, sunburns, fever relief, or just to cool down from a hard day of playing. Don’t limit these little monsters for just the kids! Adults can use them too for sinus headaches, backaches, muscle tension, and even to help reduce soreness and clogged milk ducts for the breast feeding mama.

Because these Ouchy Bags are fun and zany monsters they are appealing to children and you have more of a chance of them actually keeping the Ouchy Bag on the owie! I have three young children and I have found that these Hot/Cold Ouchy Bags calm them almost immediately after they get a monster owie!
