Little Remedies, Little Fevers Review and Giveaway
Get ready for a new fever fighting product for kids! Little Remedies has come out with a new product Little Fevers for Infants and Little Fevers for Children. Although this product features some new aspects to the Little Remedies medicine, such as dye and gluten free, my favorite feature is the new dosing bottle.
You know how you used to stick the syringe into the bottle trying to guesstimate the right dosage only to pull it out, covered in medicine, and either too full or not full enough? No longer! A new top on the bottle allows you to insert just the tip of the syringe, tip the bottle upside down and get an accurate dosage on the first try!With school starting we had to get Princess V ‘s shots updated. Sadly she did develop a slight fever and pain at the injection site. I was really excited to try out Little Remedies for children. grape flavor. Little Fevers Children’s comes with a dosing cup, and the syringe top. Even with the top designed for a syringe, it poured easily into the cup. Princess V wasn’t so sure about this though. It wasn’t red which to her meant it wasn’t cherry flavored. I did get her to take it after some coaxing, but she complained it tasted a little sour. However, it did bring her fever down and her arms got better faster.
A few days later Princess R started teething some back teeth, and was pretty miserable, she was starting to develop a small fever as well. So I pulled out the Little Fevers infants! Like I said before, I loved the syringe top! It was so easy to use, and completely mess free! Princess R took the Little Fevers just fine, and soon was back to her normal selfWith the new syringe top, Little Remedies Little Fevers is my new choice in fever/pain reducer for my childrens. We just may need to try the cherry flavor instead of grape for the older kids.
Be ready to fight fevers this School Season with your own Little Remedies Little Fevers for Children and Infants. Enter the Rafflecopter Form below to WIN!*I was provided with the product for review. All opinions are my own and my childrens.

Sea-Band Review and Giveaway!
Morning sickness, ugh. What is there to say about morning sickness? Personally I think they named it wrong, can we all agree to call it All day sickness? I think it’s a much more accurate description. Of course, this is the first real experience I’ve had with All Day Sickness. I’d get bouts of nausea with Princesses, but nothing that lasted all day every day. This pregnancy has been very different. For the last 2 almost 3 weeks now I’ve felt so sick. I haven’t gotten sick, but have you ever been to the point where you wish you could just be sick to get over the feeling of nausea? I’m far past that point now too! I’d really like it to all just up and dissappear.Then I heard about Sea-Band, the natural anti-nausea relief. It uses the ancient Chinese art of accupressure to pinpoint the spot on your wrist that will release natural chemicals that trigger the body’s natural healing process. In the past I probably would’ve scoffed at something like this. I just didn’t really think that one spot on my body could make a huge difference. I was at the point that I was going to try everything. I spent a few too many days laid out on the couch wishing that magically the kids would be fed, and the house would be clean, hahaha…still dreaming that. So like I was saying, I decided to give Sea-Band a try, and I am impressed.The first day wearing them, I was a little worried because it’s a fairly thick piece of cloth on your wrist, and we have no A/C. I wasn’t fond of intentionally making my wrists hot and sweaty, but the nausea outweighed my heat discomfort. The first hour, I didn’t feel any different and my wrists were getting itchy from the heat, but I wanted to really give them a chance. After that hour, I almost forgot they were even on, and the nausea wasn’t nearly as bad. I could still feel a “disturbance” somewhere, but I had energy, and moving around actually was possible. I even wore them to playgroup that day. Which I do have a nice suggestion for the people at Sea-Band, could you make it a little more stylish? At times I felt I was on parole with these thick black wristbands. Of course I didn’t care too much about style though since they were working!Now my dr did prescribe me some Zofran, which has also helped in the nausea relief department, but I’m pregnant, and my mind gets easily lost. So day 2 of wearing the Sea Band happened when at lunchtime I realized I had not taken any Zofran, and the nausea was setting back in big time. On went the Sea-Bands, and this time within 5 minutes I felt completely normal, and there was no itching either. Sweet!! I’m seriously loving these things!!
Sea-Band also makes some ginger gum to help relieve nausea. My personal experience, it had too much ginger in it, but it did help keep the nausea away.Are you ready to win your own set of Sea-Bands and Ginger Gum? Great! Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below, and you’ll be entered to win! Win it for yourself, or as a great gift for a pregnant friend. Oh, did I mention, these will also help with carsickness?!RafflecopterSettings = {

FoundIt.net Review
*I received product for my honest thoughts. All opinions are 100% my own*Have you lost an item recently? Are you worried your kids stuff is going to get lost at school? No fears! FoundIt.net is here!
No joke, never worry about your lost items again. I’m going to start here with a story. This story takes place on two plane rides, on the same trip.A couple years ago, Mark’s mother decided she wanted to retire teaching and work for the Department of Defense Education system. They sent her to Japan, and we jumped on the chance to visit. Really, I mean travelling the world is like a dream come true for me! After months of planning we jumped on board a plane and headed to Japan! We were off. Now we knew we couldn’t use our American cell phones in Japan, but we felt we needed them in case we missed a lay over flight, and on our way back to coordinate our pick up, so the cells went in the carry ons. We had a very nice flight considering the young age of our children. When we arrived in Japan, Mark’s cell was gone. We figure it must have fallen out of the carry on. There was no getting it back since we had no idea which plane it had fallen out on (we switched planes twice, and airports once). Oh well we said, good thing we brought mine too! We enjoyed a wonderful vacation in Japan, and after a couple weeks, boarded the planes again to head home. As we were landing in Salt Lake, Mark pulled out my phone to get ready to call my parents who would be picking us up. We got off the plane and almost immediately found my phone gone! We had just had it. I know it was on that plane! So I ran back and asked if I could go search the plane. They were a little hesitant, but decided to trust me. I searched that plane with no luck! Someone must have picked it up!We did all we could and told the flight agency, and filled out their form. I’ve never seen the phone since. In comes FoundIt.net! Seriously I wish these people had been around 3 years ago! They make labels for all your items, and provide a text or email service to get your lost items back to you! Imagine if our phones had had those stickers on them! We’d have easily gotten them back. Take a look at these cool tags!
They make stickers you can place anywhere! I’ve got one on my phone, camera, stroller, and itouch!
They also make tags, that can attach to key rings, zippers, you name it! I absolutely love the fun sayings they put on the back of the tags too!So how does FoundIt.net work? When you sign up, you give your cell number, and email address. As well as mailing address. FoundIt assigns you one ID for all your items. Wait a couple days, and you’ll receive your stickers and tags in the mail. Start labeling you items! Each tag has instructions to either text the ID to a number, or to go online where they can enter your ID. Once FoundIt receives info that your item has been found, they will contact you within seconds of it being reported, and reunite you with your lost items!One other reason I love FoundIt is their concern for your safety. Instead of writing your address on everything, you just have an ID. Once you’ve been informed your item has been found you can meet up in a public place to get your items back. FoundIt has a page specifically about keeping you safe, and tips on how to safely get your belongings back.Now thankfully I haven’t lost anything since signing up with FoundIt, but I’ve got a 4 year membership, and knowing me, something is going to get lost in that time frame! I just know it.GIVEAWAYCLOSED*I was provided with a MacDaddy package from FoundIt.net to review. All opinions are my own.
