This is a very sad but important post for parents with babies, toddlers, and even older children. A woman I know from an online message board lost her dear son (just 2 weeks shy of turning 2) due to a tragic accident involving his dresser falling on him.

Unfortunately this accident could have been prevented if his dresser had been properly secured to the wall. I know for a lot of us moms probably have furniture that is not secure and it takes a horrible accident such as this to get things taken care of.

I urge you all to look around your house tonight to make sure all heavy furniture is properly fastened/secure to the wall. This is a very inexpensive thing to do and may save your child’s life.

Here are some things you can buy to make sure furniture is securely fastened:

Kidco Anti-Tip Furniture Straps

No-Tip Furniture Brackets

Corey Halpin will be dearly missed.

Amazon.com is having their Annual Super Duper Before Christmas Toy Sale.

Ok, thats not the real name, but it should be!

Many toys are up to 70% off and there is FREE shipping (and no tax) with purchases over $25. I got a ton of presents last year, and this year is no exception.

Prices are subject to change, so if you see it at the price you want, buy it now!

Here are some of my top picks:

1. Melissa & Doug Food Groups$13.47 was $19.99, 20 piece wooden food set with baskets. Excellent quality, you will love Melissa & Doug products.

2. Hasbro Playskool Kid Motion Bounce ‘N Go Inch-Along$12.99 was $34.99, Give your child the perfect ride-on toy with the Hasbro Playskool Kid Motion Bounce ‘N Go Inch-Along. Also get another free toy with this purchase, see here for details!

3. Little People Zoo Train$6.80 was $16.99, This cute little train transports a parakeet, a tiger, and a giraffe in colorful style. A smiling little girl in a safari hat acts as conductor. The cars hook snugly together, and the wheels turn smoothly as the zoo train rolls along on its journey of imagination and discovery.

4. Sesame Stree Giggle Medical Kit – $6.00 was $14.99, Aspiring doctors can giggle and learn their way into pretend play with silly sounds and loads of laughs.

6. Hasbro Playskool Let’s Play Together Go & Grow Giraffe$10.00 was $24.99, The Go & Grow Giraffe works as both a chair — and a rocker! When facing backward, it’s the perfect-sized sitting spot for playing pat-a-cake or peek-a-boo with your little one.
