Do You Use Your Gadgets in the Bathtub?

The other day, I was chatting with another Sugar employee about how they love their Kindle, but they don't know what to do about their love for reading in the bathtub.

The other day, I was chatting with another Sugar employee about how they love their Kindle, but they don't know what to do about their love for reading in the bathtub.

You see, the Kindle is certainly not waterproof (kids, don't test this out at home), and for those of us like my co-worker — who love some reading material while rub-ba-dub-dubbing — this can pose a serious problem for any Kindle owner. Maybe in due time, there will be fancy schmancy protective cases that come out to protect the Kindle from water damage.

Nevertheless, I know how dangerous it is to have devices near water but I do it anyway. For those oh-so-important phone calls I can't miss, I'm known to wrap my cell phone in a towel — so it's safe from the spraying shower, but I can still hear it ringing. Tell me I'm somewhat normal and there are more of you that do this? Or am I completely solo on this one?

Baby Wellness: Puj Baby Bathtub

Rubba, dub, dub, it's time to get your newborn in the tub!

Rubba, dub, dub, it's time to get your newborn in the tub! This task can be pretty scary for first time mamas who either hunch over a bathtub or have their lil one slipping and sliding around the plastic tub in the kitchen sink. The Puj Baby Portable Bathtub ($98) is made from soft foam that folds to fit all standard bathroom sinks, creating a snug environment for your baby. The anti-fungal and anti-bacterial tub is available in six pastel colors and opens up to hang flat against a wall, alleviating the need to find a drying spot for the large plastic tub.
