A Way to Put a Little Strut in Her Walk to the Shower

We found this fabulous shower caddy that looks nothing like the plain plastic bin we toted once long ago to those communal dorm room and camp bunk showers.  What looks like a stylish tote is designed for bathtime functionality, with a water resistant liner, drainage holes on the bottom, and plenty of storage including two side pockets.  (Shown is the Dream Dot pattern; the SoHo print is equally cute).  Should your camper-ette be the type who needs all of her accessories to match, there happen to be cosmetic bags, a flat-iron case, and a handy Hold-All that all come in the same pattern.

A New Reason for Your Athlete to Smile

Add this to what you consider essential sporting gear: a custom-made, customizable, state-of-the-art mouth guard that you can order easily online, with the bonus benefit of disarming opponents when they see that even their teeth are wearing the camp or team colors.  A mouth guard might not seem like a must-have until you have a kid playing a contact sport… and find yourself making an emergency trip to the dentist (in fact the ADA estimates that over 200,000 oral injuries related to sports are actually prevented each year by the use of mouth guards).  Created by a New York dentist who was disappointed with the standard options available to his football playing son, these Custom Sports Guards are designed for comfort and fit … with a high fun factor in being customizable with their favorite colors, or with a design of their own conception.

A Way to Play it Safe

We love this as a way of keeping all of your kids’ electronica (i.e. cell phones, iPods) and other small valuables stashed safely at camp — but when we saw the vacation vault we also recognized its broader potential as a compact, secure storage companion for any number of environments, like the gym, hotel rooms or the beach.  Little and lightweight, you can hook it right on to a beach chair, bike, tent, treadmill or cooler.  An interesting alternative usage for parents with smaller children: take it with you for weekends away and use to keep child-unfriendly items like lighters, matches, or prescription medications away from curious hands.

This Momorandum is Sponsored by Group Story

It’s about time there was a photo book that told everyone’s story… A photo book is an amazing way to remember and share an experience: Summer camp. A family reunion. Sports season. A great trip.  However, photo books have been told only from one person’s perspective … until now.

Group Story, with its shared environment, lets everyone upload photos, tag them, and create pages. Then, each person chooses the pages they want to create a customized book that is just for them.  And a bonus for busy people: this collaborative creation process, is organized (tagging makes it easy to find the perfect picture or page) and quick (you can make your pages, and build on with your favorites from everyone else).  High quality photo books start at just $12.99.
