Diaper Poop Alarm Device

Here is an interesting product made in Korea to detect poop in diapers. An alarm and light goes off once it detects urine and feces. I can see this being useful in a daycare setting when many babies are being cared for at once. But I personally think a mother's smell is good enough..

Jack's 100th Day Party

Need ideas for your child's Paegil party, otherwise known as the Korean 100th day birthday celebration? Check out this amazing party inspired by the Taeguk Korean symbol. All DIY items and decor by Jack's Mommy! More information can be found on her blog. Click here.


What is "Paegil"? One hundred days after a baby is born, Koreans have a small feast to celebrate the baby's survival and health. The feast is much smaller than the Dol party. Rice cakes, red bean cakes and other traditional Korean food is usually provided.
