White Noise Machines

White noise, as opposed to other "colors" of noise, combines all the notes a human ear can hear and mixes them together simultaneously. Similar to a V-8 Juice Cocktail, white noise machines offer up a puree of frequencies that create a smooth, soothing concoction of sound. While true white noise can be harsh, most white noise machines offer a sound closer to "pink noise," a blend of sounds that is often soothing and calming.

Espresso Machines

Convertible Car Seats for Extended Rear Facing

For many parents, their child’s one-year-old birthday signifies exciting transitions: starting to drink whole milk, learning to walk, and until recently, turning around the car seat to face forward. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently updated their policy on car seats and now advocates keeping toddlers rear facing until age two, if not longer. Rear facing seats do a better job at distributing the force of a crash over the entire body and protecting toddlers’ delicate necks, spines, and brain.
