All-Natural Kid’s Cold and Flu Safety Kit

December 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

All-Natural Kid’s Cold and Flu Safety Kit

When the leaves begin to change color and the air becomes crisp, it is
evident that a new season is upon us, and I’m not just talking about fall.
November unofficially marks the start of cold and flu season. For most
parents, this is a cause for concern as Swine and Avian flu have been
running rampant the last few years almost reaching pandemic status in this
country. However, there really is no need to panic. Luckily there are some
basic all-natural and time-tested precautions that we should all be taking
to help prevent this dreaded virus from afflicting ourselves, our families
and most importantly our children this year. According to 2010 figures from
the     BabyGanics’ The Germinator Foaming Hand Sanitizer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BabyGanics’ The Germinator Foaming Hand Sanitizer is an alcohol-free foaming
hand sanitizer that kills 99.9% of germs. This fragrance-free formula is
safe, effective and won’t dry out skin. It uses Benzalkonium Chloride which
provides greater sustained de-germing activity than gelled alcohol hand
sanitizers that actually becomes less effective with repeated use and makes
the skin dirtier, not cleaner due to removal of protective natural skin oils
and entrapment of dead skin cells by the polymer thickeners used in gelled
germ protection. The skin conditioners moisturize and provide long-lasting
germ protection. Retailing for $6.99, it is available for purchase in stores
at Babies ‘R Us, BuyBuy Baby and online at Amazon.com.

practice of a saline nasal spray to help wash, hydrate and moisturize the
nasal passages as well as aiding the body’s natural cleansing process;
helping to clean out the bacteria and particles that can lead to a cold, ear
infection, sinusitis or the flu. With no minimum age requirement, this
product is safe for kids of all ages, even infants! Kid’s Xlear Nasal Spray

And that you cant choose the gender(i chose a white rabbit and guess what? it said it was a female when i wanted a male). But it is so fun! my fav mini game is air hockey! i always am the winner.Better try this game or the rabbits go away!

Assassins Creed Revelations

December 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Assassin’s Creed is a spectacular gaming phenomenon. Each sequel to the original has raised the bar in the series with more weapons, varied attacks and a more open world to explore. The latest release, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, ties together all of the open-ended questions and back-story that the first three revealed. It also adds several new options like bomb crafting and the deadly hookblade.  In this fourth installment, you control Ezio Auditore, a master assassin, as he attempts to unlock the secrets of his creed’s past. His journey takes you to Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire, where a growing army of Templars threatens to overtake the region.

 

As you fight to keep the Templars at bay and grow your own ranks you will amazed at the detail that has been put into the world around you. Many varied missions will keep you on your toes and when you’ve completed the campaign mode there is the expanded online multiplayer experience that returns with more modes, more maps and more characters, allowing you to test your assassin skills against others from around the world! I would strongly recommend playing all of the Assassin’s Creed games in succession, but if that’s not possible Revelations will still entertain and amaze you every step of the way!

GUM BRAND

September 17, 2011 By 1 Comment

For the last few months we have been using the GUM BRAND teeth cleaning products. The kids are using the CRAYOLA TIMER LIGHT TOOTHBRUSH. (See below) This has a light that will stay on for 1 minute and our kids know that they need to continue to brush until it goes off. We get no arguments from them when it comes to brushing their teeth. They love the toothbrushes and even Nevaeh is as addicted to the Soft picks…these are a 1oo times better than using a tooth pick. I have even gotten all of my friends from work addicted to them. They are soft and get food that is lodged in the hard to reach places. I am not kidding…WE LOVE THOSE THINGS!! Hey, a family that lives together picks togehter!! HA! :)



According to dentists, kids don’t brush their teeth long enough. As we know, longer brushing leads to more plaque removal and a healthy smile. The innovative Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush – available in blue, red, green, and yellow – has colorful lights in the handle that when activated by pushing the button, flash for 60-seconds to encourage kids to brush longer. Recommended by dental hygienists, the toothbrush is said to increase brushing time with the help of its flashing light. The brush also has a suction cup base, which not only makes it fun to stick in a million different places, but helps to keep bristles clean.

The softest pick you will ever use and it’s so much easier than flossing!

  • Unique design features 76 soft rubber bristles.
  • Flexible bristles slide between teeth to remove plaque and food particles.
  • Massages and stimulates gums.
  • Promotes blood circulation for healthy, firm gum tissue.
  • Extremely soft and comfortable between teeth and along gums.
  • Tapered to fit between small spaces.
  • Convenient travel case included for on-the-go use.
  • Sold in Package of 40 Picks.
