Looking for a place to watch the Wiggles, so unparalleled that you forget that you have given in and are actually watching the Wiggles? Try this on for size..brought to you by Babesta.com, cool threads and more for trendsetting tots.

Anyone who knows me knows that I can't talk of travel without gushing about my favorite place on earth, Las Ventanas al Paraiso, in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Just like they "ruined me" with hotels, I'll never watch a DVD in the same way again....

The 6 star resort's newest amenity is another stunner (adding to an enviable list of pool butlers who spray you with Evian, serve you flavored ices, load iPods for you, and offer you first run books to enjoy while soaking up some sun, and a "Director of Romance" who ensures that love is in the air throughout your stay, on call to coordinate perfect moments (marked by the perfect song playing everywhere you go, rose petal trails, scented oils and candles, beverages, chocolates, you name it).

Now, guests can enjoy a private screening of a movie of their choice, on a flat tv on the beach, set up with torches and a comfortable couch in the sand. The exquisite backdrop of the Sea of Cortez may distract a bit from the movie, but no matter (esp. If it's the Wiggles, that your squirmy little toddler regrettably adores). The seaside screening is certain to be yet another benchmark for luxury that is not easily erased from your mind.
Cinema butlers bring appetizers and drinks to your private outdoor screening as well. On second thought, get a on-staff babysitter to come to your room, and let them watch the Wiggles with your tot while you enjoy this outrageously luxe moment for yourself.

Same time, same place? No matter how stylish your hospital was during your first birth, don’t go back without re-investigating. Brought to you by Babesta.com, cool threads and more for badass babies and trendsetting tots.

A quick word to the wise: lesson learned. Just had my second baby and returned to the hospital where I had my first. It had apparently lost its affiliation with a major University in the 2.5 years between kids and had fallen into complete disarray. The nurses were not helpful, they watched me writhe in pain for hours before finally agreeing to admit me, at which time, they said, “it was too late for pain medication.”

 
Nurses complained (to me!) of budgetary cuts and their cuts in pay. So for any second time moms out there – don’t take your first experience at a hospital as an accurate representation of what it will be like again. Do your research again, and make sure it is the same place it was when you had your first.
