For those of you that don’t know, one of our all time favorite companies {as parents} is Boon Inc.  Boon also owns Keen Distribution, another innovative company offering stand-out children’s products going hand in hand with the modern style we’ve grown to love from Boon.  Today I have a “tool” to share with all moms and dads…a “tool” that will make parenting one heck of a lot easier!

How does Time Out work in your house?  To be blunt, Time Out is {was} the worst time of the day for my family {yes, T and C were in time out a few times a day; it was part of our daily routine unfortunately}; there’s always crying, not staying put, acting up the second they are told they could rejoin the activity…basically, we moved on to different parenting options, Time Out was just not working for our family.  Keen Distribution developed one exceptional product that I’ve wanted to share with you for quite sometime now…The Time Out Pad!  This is so fun coming from a mom…the concept is perfect, here’s what happens.  Said child throws a nice little fit during your Tuesday morning play date {at someone else’s house…yes, take this with you everywhere, once they are use to it at home, all you have to do is say “I brought the “pad” with me, behave or your going in Time Out!”}…so it’s time for a break, time to sit outside the play group, time for Time Out, Keen style!  Activate the pad {set the time for how long you want, of course younger children need less time} and have the child sit on the cushion {on the floor or on a chair},  a visual light helps the child “count” down until it’s time for them to get up.  OR, if they decide to get up prior, a nice, LOUD alarm sounds, alerting the parent AND “scaring” the child’s tushey back onto the cushion.  BRILLIANT!

Whatever your parenting/discipline style, the Time Out Pad is definitely something to try out!  My children have never cried on their Time Out Pad like they use to when they sat in a chair in their old time out spot.  They still hate the fact of having to go to time out but now they sit there watching their pad, counting down the seconds in their head until the “bell” goes off and lets them out.  Let’s just hope it’s not too enjoyable for them and they decide to do things just to get to use the Time Out Pad!

One more quick thing from Keen that I want to share, than I’ll let you go look at the rest of their fun and functional products; The Mommy Hook.  Easy name to remember, a small little gadget that goes a long way!  How frustrating is it to dig for your purse and all your shopping bags, AND the much needed diaper bag shoved under the stroller or under the shopping cart {or hidden under the massive amounts of groceries}; simply clip your Mommy Hook onto the handle bar and clip ALL your bags in easy reach!  You’ll be amazed at how much this puppy can hold!  And at only $7.99, this could save your back from the strain of carrying so much junk on your shoulders AND save you from all those lost shopping bags {I don’t know how many times I have left a bag here or there just by putting it down while I look at something else} AND save you time and energy digging under the stroller for the baby bottle or your keys!  {YES, clip your keys right on there, way not…OR, for safety reasons and no shopping bags, clip this inside your purse or diaper bag with your keys attached for easy access to them}.  So many options for The Mommy Hook!  Fabulous gift topper OR even baby shower favor, something attendees would actually use!

We hope you love Keen Distribution just as much as we know you love Boon Inc!
