Sorry for the lack of postings recently, we have had issues accessing Hip Hooligan's to post. We hope to resolve this issue soon!

Two in One

Potty training is tough by any one's standards, and then you have to decide what kind of potty training seat or chair you are going to use. I saw this seat at a friend's house and loved it because it meant that you didn't need a special contraption you needed to place on the seat or a separate chair. I also liked the fact that it hides quickly and easily. You can find these at http://www.target.com/ for $29.99.

Easy as ABC

Every fridge in America with small children has ABC magnets stuck to it at one point or another and kids love them. How about updating the look of your ABCs with these new magnets from http://www.rompstore.com/ They go for $35.00 and come with their own storage tube. Great for you or as a gift

Crayon Roll

I checked out http://www.etsy.com/ and came across these adorable crayon rolls by RetroRugRats. For $19.00 you get an adorable handcrafted crayon roll that is personalized. You can chose from several designs and embroidered fonts. The best thing, is that they come wrapped in a cute package filled with your choice or regular or jumbo crayons.

We Will Rock You

Crayon's are a favorite among all kids, so why not purchase some that are out of the box, some that truly rock? These crayon rocks can be found at www.rompstore .com and are $8.00 for a box of 16. What better way to get your Hip Hooligan outside to enjoy Summer weather?

Trash Free

I try to wash my car once a week and clean out the inside, but after a week of hauling little ones all over, by the time I clean the car, it is covered with papers ranging from snack wrappers to school daily reports. I saw these car trash bags at http://www.etsy.com/ (under auto trash/ Alison Hill) and thought that they were a cute and stylish way to keep trash out of your car. They are $19.00 and fit a trash bag inside.

Teacher's Gifts

So, every year when it comes to giving our teachers gifts, I blank out and have no idea what to do. Well, this year I have found that http://www.etsy.com/ has categorized gifts for teachers! Etsy, is a web site made for people who hand make or have vintage items to sell (I have posted about it before). I was surprised to see when I checked it out again a category specifically for teacher's gifts. Finally, a place where you can find unique and one of a kind gifts for the people who mean the most to you.

The Gift of Learning

When our daughter was three, we started working on the Gifted and Talented workbooks by Susan Amerikaner with her simply because we liked how they made her use her imagination vs. some of the other workbooks that simply teach reading or math. These books made her think outside of the box and truly helped her once she entered kindergarten. Plus, she thought they were a blastI belive these books are for every child, not just those learing beyond their grade level. ! You can find them anywhere on the web including Amazon.
