How Does She Do It? - Urban Infant

We want to hear how you do it, Moms! ?Are you a mom in Edmonton, a career mom, a stay-at-home mom, an entrepreneur mom, something somewhere in between? ?Contact us (kjristen@urbaninfant.ca) to be profiled!

Tell us about you, your children and where you live

We are sister-in-law?s, Tanya and Deanne Ferguson, who run Stay in your Jammies Consignment. We live 5 minutes from each other in Edmonton and have 4 kids ages 4, 3, and two 1 year olds 10 days apart.

Do you have help? (incl childcare, housework, personal assistant)

We wish!

T: I have a husband who is super helpful around the house. He relaxes by cleaning the kitchen and washing the floor.

D: My husband just throws everything out or sells it on kijiji.

Best hobby?

T: Rearranging furniture and scrapbooking

D: Shopping

Extracurricular activities for you?

T: I scrapbook once a month to get some me time and I love to do home renovation projects. My husband does not so I wait until he leaves for work to start a new project.

D: Going to Costco by myself. When the kids get older I plan on finding some me time.

Extracurricular activities for your babe/children?

T: Library programs, crazy crafty projects at home, and meeting other moms for tea. We love going to places like Java Mama in St. Albert to play.

D: Swimming, soccer in the spring, any program that?s free. We have annual passes to many of the attractions in Edmonton. We love going to the Museum, Telus World of Science, and John Janzen Nature Center for the afternoon.

What does a typical family day look like to you (Saturday/Sunday)?

T: Matt let?s me sleep in! We take the dog for a walk in the morning then try to find a new family adventure in the afternoon. We love going to festivals in the summer, Telus World of Science or WEM when it gets cooler. We usually go out for dinner one of the nights to give me a break and then chill with a good movie after the kids are in bed.

D: The weekends for us are always full of family time. We love taking the kids to their Grandparents for family dinners (which means I get a break from cooking!) and my husband can sneak in a guilt free nap. My four year old loves playing outside in the country. He can be loud and climb trees all afternoon.

Who cooks dinner?

T: Me! Matt does all the baking though.

D: Me. I don?t think my husband has ever cooked dinner in the 5 years we have been married.

How does the grocery shopping get done, by whom, with the kids, and do you use coupons?

T: Me. The kids know they get free cookies so it?s our outing one-day during the week. I love to use coupons but usually leave them in the car, so they are useless to me.

D:? I do. I try to do it after the kids go to bed. I love grocery shopping by myself. I can go up and down every aisle, price match, read labels and eat samples. I am signed up for some coupon websites and especially like the new Safeway coupons that get put right on my card. Then I don?t forget them at home.

How often do you buy something for yourself?

T: Not too often. I like to sneak small inexpensive items (kitchen gadgets, a new shirt, etc) into my Superstore/Costco grocery shopping trips.

D: I try to save up for bigger purchases so not that often.

Do you exercise and if so, how/when do you fit the time in to do that?

T: I?m training for a triathlon. I don?t know when I am going to do it but I will at some point before I?m 50. I leave as soon as my husband walks in the door from work. I like to go for a run or go swimming.

D: Nope! Tried a DVD once. It didn?t work out.

Favourite movie?

T: I can watch early 90?s teen movies over and over like She?s All That

Tentacled snakes born at National Zoo

Eight tentacled snakes were recently born in captivity (Wikicommons)Indiana Jones and Samuel L. Jackson may need to start their own group therapy session: Eight tentacled snakes were recently hatched at the Smithsonian's National Zoo.

These babies belong to an aquatic species of snake native to Southeast Asia, formally known as Erpeton tentaculatus, according to the Mother Nature Network.

Scientists say it is the only known species of snakes to have tentacles, which are used to sense vibrations from fish swimming by. The snakes are relatively small, usually growing to lengths of about 20 to 35 inches.

The tentacled snake spends almost all of its life hiding in murky waters, and scientists say its venomous fangs are not a threat to humans.

Beyond its unusual sensory devices, the tentacled snake has some other impressive evolutionary traits?as well, including the ability to predict where a startled fish will maneuver, allowing the tentacled snake to literally guide the prey into its open mouth. A 2009 report from Science Blogs explains in detail how tentacled snakes use their sharp senses and incredible speed to trap their prey.

"I haven't been able to find reports of any other predators that exhibit a similar ability to influence and predict the future behavior of their prey," Vanderbilt University professor of biological sciences Kenneth Catania said in a statement.

You can watch video of the tentacled snake capturing a fish here.

And in unsettling development for those suffering from ophiophobia, or the fear of snakes, the tentacled snakes also reportedly grow very quickly.

"Within a few hours of being born, the snakes were already acting like adults," Matt Evans, a keeper at the Smithsonian's Reptile Discovery Center, said in a statement. "Instincts took over, and they were hunting. We don't know much about this cryptic species, but we're already learning so much just watching them grow."

For those living in or visiting the Washington, D.C., metro area, four of the baby snakes are currently on display at the National Zoo's Reptile Discovery Center.

Satechi Slim Surge Protector

The Satechi Slim Surge Protector ($15.99 direct) takes a simple and straightforward concept and expands it in a logical direction. People rely on power outlets every day, after all, and those same people also need to charge USB devices, so why not integrate the two into a cohesive package? Throw in the added benefit of surge protection, and you've got the Slim Surge Protector in a nutshell. It's not earth-shatteringly innovative, but it's a practical, affordable solution for anyone interested in charging their gizmos in one central spot or any who simply wants to protect their gadgets from the perils of electrical spikes and surges.

The Slim Surge Protector's chassis measures 5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. It's constructed entirely out of black plastic, with a matte-finished rear and glossy face. While I'm fairly certain that most people don't take aesthetics into consideration when purchasing something as mundane as a surge protector, it's still worth noting that the glossy finish on the face attracts a considerable amount of smudging after a while, which may irk some given the heavy amount of hand traffic the Slim Surge Protector will see in the form of plugging and unplugging electronics.

The outlet arrangement on the Slim Surge Protector's face is judiciously arranged in two vertical rows, with three protected power outlets on top and two USB charging ports on the bottom. For all intents and purposes it's a simple, uncluttered layout, though it would been better to see a bit more space between the power outlets in order to accommodate wider plugs, especially in the case of some smartphone chargers.

In between the two rows is a hole for an optional socket screw, which comes in handy for reducing torque when you've got five devices tugging in different directions. Since the optional socket screw provides an added measure of support, one can't help but wonder why the rear of the Slim Surge Protector's chassis features a plastic prong that juts out in addition to its three prong plug. As a result, the Slim Surge Protector can only be plugged into the top portion in a two-plug wall outlet since the plastic prong is designed be inserted into the bottom outlet. It would have been more sensible to not include this plastic prong so the Slim Surge Protector could be inserted into either the top or bottom plug in order to yield the most use out of a two-plug wall outlets.

An LED indicator on the top of the Slim Surge Protector glows green to indicate when it's protecting your stuff from spikes and surges. Accordingly, when the indicator is no longer lit, the Slim Surge Protector has ceased to shield your devices from electrical surges. In addition to its basic surge protection function, the Slim Surge Protector also features built-in Safety Shutdown Technology, which utilizes thermal fuses to prevent power from flowing to the unit, thereby protecting your stuff against fire and other damage in the event that a power spike occurs. Again, if the LED indicator isn't glowing, then that means that this feature has becomes disabled. Luckily, the Slim Surge Protector comes with a one-year warranty, so you'll be covered if you see that green light not working within that time period.

The Slim Surge Protector has a 2.1 amp output, giving it enough juice to charge most, if not all, smartphones and tablets. While Satechi lists a bevy of compatible devices on its site, 2.1 amps is certainly enough for, say, a 10-inch tablet. To confirm this, I tested the Slim Surge Protector with the New Apple iPad and an iPhone 4S and found that both devices were charging properly. That said, it would behoove skeptical or extra-cautious buyers to check out the list on Satechi's site for themselves.

The Satechi Slim Surge Protector is a practical solution for users interested in charging their electronic devices in one central spot with the added benefit of surge protection. Its practicality and convenience sufficiently justify its affordable price tag.
