From Jenna McCarthy: Her new book The Parent Trip: From high heels and parties to highchairs and potties Valued at $14.95

Described by reviewers as “hilariously funny,” “whip-smart” and “utterly original,” The Parent Trip is a candid look at the wild ride into parenthood.

Jenna McCarthy is an internationally published writer and author of The Parent Trip and Cheers to the New Mom/Dad! Jenna McCarthy’s work has appeared in more than fifty magazines, on dozens of websites and in several anthologies including the popular Chicken Soup series (for which she was never paid but she’s not bitter because she has met Jack Canfield in person and he is very nice and she is sure it was just an oversight).

During one two-year period of possible insanity, she decided to capitalize on her insomnia and accepted a position as co-host of Santa Barbara’s top-rated morning radio show. When she wasn’t busy embarrassing her husband by broadcasting the details of their every disagreement to their tight-knit community, she continued to write and also managed to get pregnant. After pumping breast milk on the air, Jenna felt she’d achieved her broadcast dreams and returned to writing exclusively.

Wett Giggles is giving away a fun scented soap with scrub brush
Valued at $10

This product was inspired by Karen St. Clair's six year old son’s dirty little finger nails. She's into good hygiene and giving her son a fun tool to help with that was her goal.

The Soap and toy concept has been done before but Karen wanted to re- create that concept. So her thinking was to add a nail brush to the soap thus giving a new look to an old idea. She named the product Wett Giggles because of the wet smiles children often get when washing their hands.

A nail brush encased in soap. Wett Giggles a fun sudsy soap that encourages good hygiene. A perfect party gift for kids. Wett Giggles has been awarded a "Favorite Website" by Parenting Magazine.
