The list is getting shorter!

Devoted Southerner Angie Harmon tells Good Housekeeping that her family of five has set their sights on North Carolina, where in five years they hope to be living “in a big, beautiful house” in a town with “a church on every corner, as opposed to just a Starbucks.”

Her preferences should come as no surprise.  “Their middle names aren’t Faith, Grace and Hope because I’m an atheist,” she notes of daughters Finley, 7½, Avery, 5, and Emery, 20 months, respectively.

“I pray every day for my little girls. It’s hard out there for the younger generation.”

Reality star Bethenny Frankel has always been resourceful, and now, thanks to 3-month-old daughter Bryn Casey, she’s finding new uses for baby products, too.

“I am loving using Bryn’s baby wipes. They are at the top of my list of mommy must-haves,” she tells Parade.

“Baby wipes are great for everything! For wiping babies’ butts, as an eye-makeup remover, to wipe the counter, to clean my hands at the airport, just everything.”

She also uses Bryn’s bottle warmer for more … adult purposes. “You can use [it] to warm your baby’s bottle in the car — or keep chilled your Skinny Girl margarita.”

Let Your Tots Ride Low with the New LandShark

Remember inching your way across the gymnasium on a plastic scooter? Imagine that, times ten, and you have the Landshark ($80). But instead of the standing like on a regular skateboard, your little one kneels and kicks their feet out to make this low-rider go.

And boy does it go. But don’t worry! It comes equipped with an easy-to-use breaking mechanism. And it’s so low to the ground, bad spills are rare — especially if your tot is outfitted with a helmet and pads. It also comes with a flag to make it more visible.

The Landshark performs really well on sidewalks, even bumpy patches. But it’s smooth surfaces — like a driveway or paved trail — where it really excels. Plus, the padded wooden deck and steering bar keep your kid comfy.

If you’re looking to shake up your stable of scooters, this bad boy makes a great pick. To shop, go to Toysrus.com.
