TwitterEveryone gets excited about the start of summer time! However, now the question on many parents’ minds is “what do I do to keep the kids entertained?” Instead of going stir crazy this summer have recreational activities in mind so that the kids will never get bored. Get rid of boredom before it even begins by having a plan. If you have planned out several games and activities that the entire family can enjoy this will make the summer even more entertaining. Don’t get bored because the word bored does not exist during the summer! Here are several ideas to keep you busy having fun all summer long. Create Your Own Video A great way to get the kids to interact and story tell is by helping them create their very own video. Write a script for them or have them come up with their own story. Then once the script is ready have them rehearse, pick out costumes, and put it on in your house for friends and family members. You can also record it and play it back so they can see how hard they ...
Product Review – Gutsy Chewy
A few weeks ago, I was sent several tubes of Gutsy Chewy. Gusty Chewy is a large chewable tablet that you take to treat an upset stomach. It contains papaya, apple cider vinegar, licorice root, Xylitol, and minerals like calcium and magnesium. It’s available in two flavors: citrus and wildberry. I was sent both flavors to try out. Each tube has eight tablets…and they are huge! One tablet is about the size of a quarter, and has the thickness of for quarters stacked. To use, take one to two tables when your stomach starts bothering you. Chew them for as long as possible and then swallow. Don't take more than two in a 24 hours period. The first time I took one, I just about gagged. They aren’t the best tasting things, and even after using them several times, I’m still not used to the taste. They are very chalky. It reminds me of the white stuff they make you drink at the hospital if you are having stomach issues…only with a hint of fruit taste in the back. However, they are pretty ...

Article – Tips on Getting a Good Night’s Sleep
In order to have a good, productive day, you need a good night’s sleep. Being rested became all the more important for me since having a child…especially now that my daughter is four and a little bundle of never-ending energy. I have suffered from insomnia for years, and it got worse right after my daughter was born. My doctor gave me sleeping pills, but they only helped so much. The hardest part for me is being able to relax long enough for the pills to kick in. I spent hours tossing and turning trying to get comfortable. This not only kept me up, but my husband as well. Eventually, I decided to change up the bed a bit to make it more comfortable for me. The first thing I did was get a pillow. At the time, the pillow I was using wasn’t all that good. It was an inexpensive one from the store. I had gotten a set of down pillows for Christmas the year before, but hadn’t used them yet. I tried one out on the couch one day while watching television and liked it. I bought an allergy ...
Product Review – COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ Sunny Days Sunscreen
Last week, I was sent a bottle of COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ Sunny Days sunscreen, along with a few travel tubes of it as well. COPPERTONE® is a well known name in sun care products and has been around for a long time. We took our daughter to her first MLB game a few days ago (Sunday), and decided that it would be the perfect time to test it out. We put some on before leaving the house, and took the trial size tubes with us so we could reapply if needed. From the moment we first took our seats, I could feel my skin burning. I kept reapplying the sunscreen, but it only served to make the sunburn worse. I even went inside several times just to get out of the sun for a bit. Meanwhile, my daughter wasn't burning at all. In fact, she wasn't even red. We were at the park about 6 hours. By the time we got home, the only red on my daughter was the very tips of her ears where I didn't put anything. My husbands arms were a little red, & he didn't put on any sunscreen. I, on the ...
