STUFF WE LOVE
We're always looking for ways
to calm the crazy in our lives, be it products that make our lives
easier or just people that make us laugh. And when we find great stuff,
we love to share it with anyone who cares to listen. So
join us on Facebook and Twitter for updated posts about services, products, or people we love. Check below for a sample of the types of things we love to share and if you're new to the Calm the Crazy family, look to your left and download our booklet containing all of the stuff we loved in 2010.
And rest assured, we're not getting diddly for mentioning stuff here - other than the self-satisfaction that comes from putting a friend onto something cool, of course. And if you've got a great tip, please share it with us; we promise not to take credit for it.

Services We Love
- Paperback Swap: If you have a pile of books from years past, swap them for new reads at the Paperback Swap. Simply list 10 books you're willing to swap with other members and you're off and running. There are no hidden fees or costs--all you pay is the cost to ship your books out if/when someone requests them. Fresh books to your door in exchange for a little decluttering--now hat helps calm the crazy. (www.paperbackswap.com)
- Macaroni Kid: Keeping the kiddos entertained, especially in the summer, can be a challenge. That's why we love Macaroni Kid - it's an e-newsletter/website that keeps you updated on events and activities for kids happening in your area. (http://national.macaronikid.com)
Products We Love
- Old Musicals: We love family movie night, but we've blown through Pixar, are over Princesses of all kinds, and can't handle any more singing toasters. Solution: Singin' in the Rain--it had us all entertained. Give it a try and check out other old musicals for more fun, bearable options.
- Lunchskins sandwich/snack bags: Reusable, dishwasher-safe, and fashionable sandwich/snack bags. Save money and the environment. What’s not to love? (www.lunchskins.com)
