Teen Birthday Party Themes and Ideas
There is no doubt about it, a great party has to have an awesome party theme. Try using one of these birthday party themes when planning your next birthday party. I've marked the birthday party themes that are great for older teens too.

The Glee Project's Homework: This Week Is Vulnerability
Does your teen have a weakness? Of course! Don't we all? But we don't have to share ours with the world like the kids left on the Glee Project. They will be wearing theirs for all of the world to see while making their video this week, much like the characters on Glee's Born This Way episode. Really something to talk to your teen about. Would they be able to dig deep and pull out the worst part of themselves and share it with the world? Maybe, but I'm not sure I could. More power to the cast, they have confidence and talent!

Infants 3-12 Mos.

Toddlers 1-4 Yrs.



From Heather Corley, your Guide to Baby Products
It's been another busy month for baby products recalls, with four new ones announced just recently. A stroller with a brake problem is among these, so I've also included some stroller safety tips this week. While stroller brakes usually work, the occasional brake failure illustrates why you shouldn't park the stroller on a steep incline and hope that brake holds.

Britax B-Nimble Stroller Recall
There's a brake issue with some Britax B-Nimble strollers, and it could allow your child to roll away from you when you least expect it. This recall is a little unusual because there's no retrofit or repair kit. If your stroller is included, you'll need to call for information on getting your replacement stroller.

Circo Infant Girls Sandals Recalled
You wouldn't think that shoe decorations would be a choking hazard, but babies and toddlers are still flexible enough to make a snack out of their footwear. These itty-bitty sandals have plastic flowers that could detach and become a choking hazard.

Circo Booster Seats Recalled
This is an expansion of a previous recall of Target's Circo brand booster seats. These are the type of booster seats that you use at the table, not in the car. Reports of buckle malfunctions are still coming in, so if you've got one of these boosters, you may need to return it and find a safer option.

Rugby Children's Pain & Fever Concentrated Drops Recalled
There's nothing wrong with the actual acetaminophen medicine in this recall. The problem is with the dropper dispenser that comes with the medicine. If you buy this kind of medicine for your kids, they could be at risk of overdose because of the non-childproof dropper cap.
