Temporary Tattoo From Hell
If you have been reading, you already know that when I went to BlogHer, I really made out like a bandit. One of the gifts I won was a 
$300 toy basket from the Litzky PR Firm during my night time tour of New York City with NYCityMama. She was a great host, and I was a lucky winner of one of the prizes via the Twitter Trivia contest they ran on the bus. Thank you Blackberry for the Ubertwitter app!
Anyways, we got a ton of toys, and one of the things in the basket that my toddler immediately took to was temporary rub on tattoos. I can’t imagine why! LOL Buzz Lightyear, and Woody to be exact. The first tattoo he demanded was Buzz Lightyear.
“Camden, where do you want the tattoo?”
“My face”
“Why don’t we put it someplace else, maybe your arm, or tummy, or your leg?”
“Nope, Mommy, I would like it right here!” As he points to his cheek.
That’s fine, I mean really, how long could a rub on makeup type tattoo last?
ETERNITY Apparently!
It was almost comical. After I fought with the toddler to not have the tattoo put in the most noticeable place on him, I found myself trying to scrub it off before bed, and it wouldn’t come off! I got most of it off, but there was the outline of Buzz Lightyear hanging out on my child’s face looking like a patch of filth.
This can’t be happening right? After my concern about where to put the tattoo, it is going to get back at me like this?!?
I go back to read the instructions of the tattoo again, for the fifth time that day, and there it was “Tattoo will come off with makeup remover” really? Because we all know I just have a ton of that hanging around my house!
I guess the moral of this story is, skip the temporary tattoos, even if they look to be washable. They will haunt you for a minimum of two days.

The Vaccine Blame Game
A couple months ago I read a post about a certain vaccine and the blame game that was surrounding parents whose children had contracted this specific illness. The Whooping Cough outbreak in California. Automatically when there is an outbreak of this nature, the fingers are pointed towards the families that do not vaccinate, or selectively…
