UltimateMama was recently shopping for a faucet and learned all about California’s requirements for low lead plumbing that went into effect January 2010. 

As of January 1, 2010 California law required all faucets, pipes, pipe fittings to be replaced with “lead free” alternatives.

Although your UltimateMama is a New Yorker, she took notice of this California law and recently purchased the Stainless Moen Low Lead Single Handel Pull Out Faucet called Extensa CA7560 which is at www.faucetdirect.com as one can never be too safe when it comes to their children!

UltimateMama has a shoe bargain for you online!  Open up another screen and go to www.shoes.com to find some great Kenneth Cole Reaction Girls shoes for a super bargain. The Let it Bow shoes are now only $18 from $44.99 originally and you get free shipping.  Also, if you put in the code 25SALE you get an extra 25% off the sale price!  What a cute fashion steal for your little one!

Even though New York Governor David Paterson doesn’t seem to think it is a big enough deal to issue a warning, UltimateMama wants you to be aware of the link of sippy cups and baby bottles to tooth decay!

Did you think it was better to stay at home with your child?  Were you afraid that going back to work would harm your child’s development?  Think again part-time working mothers.

A new study by Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Wen-Jui Han, and Jane Waldfogel of the Teachers College and College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University shows that part-time working mothers and their children fare well!  Read the study entitled “FIRST-YEAR MATERNAL EMPLOYMENT AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT IN THE FIRST 7 YEARS” and go to work guilt-free!

So, you CAN have it ALL!
