Something Yummy: for the soul and tummy

This Thursday, April 24th, there is a group of bars and restaurants in the San Diego area that are giving 25% of their profits for the day to AIDS research.  Click here for participating restaurants in San Diego.  This is a national effort too, so if you live elsewhere, the home page for Dining Out for life can direct you to whatever participating city is closest to you.  Check it out.  Enjoy a yummy meal and know that you just did a great thing!

Yummy Technology: Ipod Dock

Who says form and function can't happily coexist? Feast your eyes on this guy...

If you are in the market for a chic dock for your ipod, (and even if you're not) I would recommend this as an option. No speakers here, sound is simply amplified by the megaphone. But who cares about the sound...I just like to look at it! Available here.

Yummy Mommy and Kids: Java Mama

I absolutely love this yummy place called Java Mama.  What is it?  It's a coffee house geared towards people who enjoy the coffee house life style but have kids.  It's a coffee house with a large play area for your toddlers to climb, play, dress-up and eat.  They serve not only coffee (I am not a coffee drinker) but other great drinks, panini's, bagels, assortment of bakery items and a great selection of kid foods.  It costs $1 for your child to play in the play area and $2.50 for supervised time.  They also offer story time and mommy and me classes.  The kids can run around and have fun while you surf the internet on WiFi, eat or chat with your girlfriends.  My son and I meet for play dates there every Monday mornings after I drop my daughter off at school.  I know not every town has a Java Mama type of a place but you should research to see what your area has to offer for you and your toddler.
