Guest Article – Christmas Ideas for Little People
Once your little one learns the magic of Santa, it won’t be long before they start writing their Christmas lists and dreaming about the toys that they will be getting their hands on. Making the magic come alive, from an early age, can give you and your kids plenty of special moments to look forward to year after year – from the first Christmas letters, comprising of cut up Argos catalogue pages, to more literate masterpieces as they grow older, the magic of Father Christmas is all around you from when your children are very young.

RSV — Facts & Prevention
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for MedImmune. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV for short, is a contagious viral disease that may infect a person's lungs and breathing passages. It is active throughout the year, but tends to spike in fall & winter. However, this can vary depending on your location. It is the most dangerous to small children, especially premature babies. Studies have shown that an alarming number of parents have no idea what RSV is or that it’s a danger to their premature children. Since preemies are born with undeveloped lungs and immature immune systems, they have a heightened risk for developing severe RSV, with often requires hospitalization. World Premature Day is on November 17th, and I am helping spread the word about RSV, including symptoms and how to prevent it. Important Facts About RSV RSV typically occurs from November ...

That means over 200 million for each person on the planet! You might not think it, but they all play important parts in out ecosystem. They eat waste, other bugs, carcasses & even trash. If you want to lean about bugs I suggest checking out the Orkin Ecologist site. It’s a great educational resource for all ages. I checked it out the other day and read an info graphic about the scariest and deadliest bugs in the world. I knew that there are some crazy bugs out there, but after reading about these guys, I’m glad most of them are in other part of the world. I’d be scared to death to go outside. Some of the scary insects included the Human Bot Fly (which can live under the human skin for weeks), cockroaches, and the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider. The Goliath Bird-Eating Spider looks like it came ...
