My daughter who suffers from eczema seems to also react to sunscreen. After applying, her face turns red with irritation. While I always look for sunscreen that is PABA and fragrance free, it's been a challenge finding one that doesn't cause her irritation. We've tried almost all the major brands including No AD and Neutrogena Sensitive Skin with little success. Recently, the online mom's groups suggested two brands to try for babies and kids with sensitive skin: Blue Lizard and California Baby.

Today I picked up Blue Lizard at CVS and so far so good. It comes in Regular formula as well as Sport, Sensitive and Fragrance Free. I'm pretty sure the Fragrance Free and Sensitive bottles are essentially the same and the price was the same for all four types which is good. It cost a whopping $8.99 for a small tube. But well worth it so she's not suffering physically and mentally with having to go around with a red face.

From www.slashfood.com:
"On March 21st, the first day of spring, Dunkin' will "put winter on ice" with their first ever Free Iced Coffee Day. All day long, Dunkin' Donuts locations all over the US will be giving away free 16-ounce iced coffees. Their iced coffees are "double brewed" for smoothness and come in nine different flavors, in addition to regular coffee."

Enjoy!

Recently a wonderful friend and I were discussing the movie Sophie's Choice. Not sure how we got on the topic, but my guess is off a tangent on a book she recently lent me that I have yet to be able to time wise and mental hurdle wise to pick up and read. (I love to read, always have so I have to actually stay away from it b/c I'm a compulsive reader and can't put a book down which interferes with good parenting, at least for me.) Mental hurdle wise, the book she recommended was about hard choices and I feel like it's too much for me to emotionally handle right now. (On another side note, having a single friend that avidly reads is the best thing ever. Its like having your own spoon feeding book reviewer. As a mommy with very limited me-time, it's great not to have to figure out what to read.) That now brings us full circle back to Sophie's Choice. As a human being, it's very gut wrenching, as a parent it's unimaginable and almost unthinkable.
