This Hertzko Self Cleaning Slicker Brush
The bristles retract when you push a button on the back of the brush that allows the brush to “self-clean” and dump all the gathered fur into the trash at once.
Life Solution: Hands Free Umbrella
Have you ever wished you that there was a hands-free umbrella that allowed you to use your phone on a rainy day?
If you ever have, then you might want to check out this new type of umbrella.
The NewSight Reverse/Inverted Double-Layer Waterproof Straight Umbrella is especially perfect for mom’s as it allows you easily hold an umbrella and a child in your arms at the same time. There are over 20 patterns to choose from. Right now they are around $20 an umbrella. In addition to bringing so bright color to a raining day, the c-shape handle allows you to hold it on your wrist and leave your hands free to use your phone or whatever else you might need to do. The inverted design also keeps the wet side inside so it won’t drip on the floor of your car when closed up. #winning
What is a Toymail Talkie?
What is a Toymail Talkie?
You may have seen these on an episode of Shark Tank.
Essentially, the concept is that this stuffed animal allows kids to communicate with their parents via voice messaging.
There are two buttons on the back that allow the child to choose a parent or another Talkie to message and they can record a message to send to their parents smartphone.
While it does take initial set-up, the toy itself appears fairly easy to use. It retails for around $49.99 and there are different “Talkie” characters to choose from.
Who is this product good for?
The best audience would actually be the 2-6 crowd. By school age kids would have a lot less time to use this product. I could see this being a great way to comfort kids who may miss mom while at the sitter or daycare, but since this needs WiFi to work you would have to set it up on any networks outside of your home.
Also, since kids become savvy to messaging at such a young age I would recommend this for the under 7 crowd. The 8-10 might use it but by then they will more likely want an iPod or tablet that will allow them to communicate with parents so they would be less enthused about this item and for the price you probably want as long of a life out of this product as possible.
This toy can also help keep kids in communication with people they may not see everyday like mom or dad, such as a grandparent or a parent who may travel often for work or may be in the military.

5 Products to Help You Get Your Feet Flip-Flop Fit
Flip-flop season is here…
While I love a good pair of boots in the fall and winter… there is something about just being able to slip on a pair of flip flops and head outside that just make life easier. No zippers. No strings to tie… flip flops mean less time to get out the door and one less thing to worry about. I even had a friend in college who would wear flip flops year round… pretty impressive considering northern Ohio winters. But if you are like most of us… your feet take a beating with the boots and dry weather during the winter and by late spring, those toes need a little TLC…
Here are five products that will help you get your feet flip flop fit!

More about Mess Matz:
To use:
Unroll your MessMatz™ on any flat surface. The mat should lay flat after a few minutes at room temperature. MessMatz™ are designed with a rubber memory but do not always lay completely flat. Sometimes it is useful to roll your MessMatz™ in the opposite direction and then return it to its normal shape. Use your MessMatz™ for any fun, creative or messy project, whether on a table, on the floor, in the garage, or anywhere else!
Food Contact:
MessMatz™ are certified as non-toxic and food-safe. However, if the MessMatz™ comes into contact with any materials that will not wash out, such as paint or harsh chemicals, do not eat directly off the mat. Do not use with food and/or food products after harsh chemical use. It has been our customer’s experience that they have several MessMatz™ for inside use and several MessMatz™ for garage/outside use, etc.
Cleanup:
Pick up your MessMatz™ by the corners and dump the mess in the trash or sink. MessMatz™ are cleanable with most any type of cleaning agent or simply with water and scrubbing. Do not place in dishwasher or washing machine, hand wash only.
Storage:
Simply roll up your MessMatz™ and store it back in the box or roll up and secure with a hook and loop fabric or a simple rubber band. You of course can store your MessMatz™ flat as well. Do not fold or crimp the mat, however, as it is designed to be stored rolled or flat.
