Grandma's got a hot new walker!

When my 90 year old grandmother took a spill recently, they hooked her up with a hot pink walker. The first thing I did (after making sure she was OK, of course) was to send her some Carabeans to pimp her ride and hold her bags for her. Grandma loved them so much, she shared some with my aunt for her walker after knee surgery. Now they can really zip down the street without being weighed down by heavy bags! Fabulous!

Non Parent use for Carabeans!

My lovely brother in law sent me this last night...in the rainy DC area, Carabeans are his umbrella holder! I love it!

New use for Spring Beans



My parents came back from Hawaii with beautiful Hula dolls for the ladies. Dolls made of porcelain. You know, the kind that break. Immediately. Literally 3 minutes after receiving them...

So here I am with my two part epoxy gluing arms and legs and heads back onto dolls, and no way to hold them together so the glue can dry without attaching my fingers to them as well.

Bam! Give me that Spring Bean...

Worked like a charm. Until 5 minutes later when my 2 year old chucked the doll across the room.

Hot guys love Mommy Toolbox

When it came time for the latest MTB photo shoot, the photographer asked me, "What are you thinking for models?"

"Hot guys."

She paused.

"Who doesn't like hot guys?" I said.

She pondered, then smiled.

Enjoy!

Unique Los Angeles

I don't like to complain, really I don't.
OK, sometimes I do.

Surrounded by hipsters, listening to great music, drinking iced coffee...I'm supposed to be selling MTB like hotcakes, yet I'm in the section where the AC broke, the foot traffic missed us, and our view is of the building next door. HUH?

I bought a change purse made from a soymilk box, and I'm stoked.

Just trying to make lemonade...

Video/Photo Contest!!!

Alright, everyone. It's time to address an issue apparently many have with our beloved Carabean.

How to open it.

For your viewing pleasure I have made you a short film. Once you have viewed it you may think, "I feel inspired to make my own Carabean video with a hot guy in it!" I encourage this. In fact, that is exactly what I want you to do.

Take videos and photos of your favorite hotties using Carabeans and you could win some Mommy Toolbox prizes! Email to info@mommytoolbox.com.

So check it out and get creative, I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Spitting

I'm sitting at the warehouse in Compton waiting for a large box from China filled with Carabeans and duct tape. The people here are different. Heavy lifting, hard working, rough and tumble type dudes with big trucks and boots with laces and steel toes. Sounds kinda hot when I write it down, but somehow at the time it wasn't.

These men all think I'm silly. I'm the only woman for miles, and I'm sitting in my car eating gluten free banana bread and sipping a soy latte while I wait for the man with the fork lift to bring me my box. I smile and say good morning when they stare at me, but can't decide if this is a good idea or not. Oh well.

Then I see him. Early 30's, baggy jeans, tight fade, big earrings. He's walking toward the enormous opening of the warehouse and spitting. Constantly. I counted him spitting at least 6 times in the 100 foot walk from his truck. Not big honking spits from chewing tobacco, just little spits, like he's peeing on the bushes. Letting the other truckers know who's boss. How could he possibly have so much excess saliva? Does he do that all day long? Does his girlfriend want to kill him when he does it at the movies or outside a restaurant? I couldn't stop staring. Then I scanned the other dudes to see if they did it too...and they did! Maybe that's what I was missing...The yoga pants and flip flops would be more macho if I were spitting. Noted.

Maybe next time I'll just spring for delivery...
