FeverAll® Review and Giveaway

As a mom, I’m sure you’ve been there - it’s the middle of the night - sick baby wailing with a fever and you can’t get her to calm down to take a full dose of liquid acetaminophen. Your frustration compounds the situation because all you want to do is help her to feel better. If you had FeverAll® Acetaminophen Suppositories in your medicine cabinet, this situation might play out a bit smoother and your baby would receive the full dose of acetaminophen that she needs to fight fever.

FeverAll is the top national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form. Parents have relied on its accuracy and ease-of-use for more than 30 years. With FeverAll, parents can be confident that their child has received the exact dosage of acetaminophen required for their age every single time. At less than one-inch in size, FeverAll is smaller than other acetaminophen suppositories, which makes it easier to administer in infants and children.

Acetaminophen dosing for children has never been simpler or more accurate. No more measuring, struggling with a feisty toddler or worrying if your child swallowed the full/proper dose because they’re spitting up. What’s more, FeverAll Infants’ Strength (ages six to 36 months) is the only infant acetaminophen product available that has dosing instructions on the label.

FeverAll Children’s Strength (ages 3-6 years) and Jr. Strength (ages 6-12 years) formulas are also great alternatives for older children who are unable or unwilling to take a full dose of acetaminophen orally, due to vomiting, or have difficulty swallowing due to physical or medical conditions.

FeverAll is available at major retailers and drugstores across the U.S., such as Rite Aid, Walgreens and Walmart for a suggested retail price of approximately $7.00 for a package of six suppositories. Learn more about FeverAll at www.Feverall.com.

Butt Bench Review and Giveaway

"Butt Bench® is a sturdy, high-quality patent-pending bathtub seat made of natural wood. This tub seat supports your weight – use it to make shaving easier, or sit down, relax, and turn your shower into a sauna. Butt Bench is also a great bathtub storage ledge!"

I was sent the White Pine Bench to review. I don't like standing in the shower and having to shave my legs and this product is wonderful for sitting down and doing just that! Built in sliding suction cups hold the bathtub seat in place . No need to make holes in your wall or install anything permanently. Butt Bench can be removed or uninstalled with ease. Acts as additional storage for your bottles and cleans easily. This bath seat is sealed with a water-proof finish making it resistant to water.Its very sturdy, I was scared at first to sit on it, afraid I would break it in half, lol, but it can hold quite a bit of weight. I have been sick too and been very dizzy and the bench came in very handy when I just couldn't stand to take a shower. This product will be used often in our home. I am going to recommend my parents get one too, they are great for seniors as well.
The ARP is $49.99
Be sure to check out Butt Bench on Facebook and Twitter.

Weight Watchers® by Conair™ Digital Scale Review and Giveaway

Having the motivation to eat healthy and stay in shape is very hard for me. I will do good for a while, then something will come up that will get me all of track. I don't like getting on the scales, because I don't like the numbers that show up. I guess we all need some motivation though right?


I was sent the Weight Watchers® by Conair™ Digital Scale Model WW58S.

This digital weight scale comes with 15 reusable stickers (in black and color) that have inspirational messages such as “Every day is a new day”, “Live, laugh, Love” and “Whatever you believe you can achieve”. Also included are some decorative butterfly stickers and a blank label which allows you to write your own inspirational message.

The static cling stickers can adhere anywhere on the glass, and you can peel them off easily and reattach whenever you’d like. Use one or more stickers as a great way to personalize your scale and make it your personal coach or a motivational friend, not your enemy.

The sleek, slim silver glass scale has an easy-to-read 1.5” digital display. The scale is 12.4” X 12.4” and has a 400-lb. capacity. The scale runs on one long-life AAA lithium battery (included) and has a 10-year warranty.

Mother Goose Club DVD Review and Giveaway

About Mother Goose Club:

Mother Goose Club is a series of 1-minute educational programs for preschoolers promoting early literacy. The live-action series features six colorful characters from the Mother Goose world: Teddy Bear, Jack B. Nimble, Little Bo Peep, Baa Baa Sheep, Mary Quite Contrary, and Eep Mouse, who invite viewers to sing and dance along to favorite nursery rhymes.

Nursery rhymes are terrific tools for parents and teachers to help get young children ready to read. Spending a few minutes each day reading or singing nursery rhymes with a child is a simple, cost-effective and enjoyable way to promote early literacy at home. The Mother Goose Club website contains a vast collection of rhymes, with illustrations, audio narrations, songs, sheet music, and printable coloring pages. Some live action and animated videos are also available. For parents and teachers, the site offers activities and tips on using rhymes to promote literacy at home and at school.

Mother Goose Club was produced locally in Nashville, Tennessee. The first 6 of 16 programs began airing on Nashville Public Television in June of 2009, with broadcasts on other PBS affiliates coming soon. The episodes can also be viewed on YouTube, and Facebook. Mother Goose Club is the proud recipient of 14 Midsouth Emmy® award nominations.

Why Nursery Rhymes Matter?

Nursery rhymes help children learn to read. Research has shown that familiarity with Mother Goose and other nursery rhymes helps children develop pre-reading skills, including the ability to detect rhymes. Children who can recognize rhyming words learn to read more quickly and successfully than their peers. This relationship holds true regardless of a child’s socio-economic background or the education level of the parents.

Nursery rhymes are also short and rhythmic, which makes them easy for children to learn and memorize. As children hear, sing or read nursery rhymes, they develop “phonemic awareness” or the ability to detect the individual sounds that make up words, a crucial first step in learning to read. Nursery rhymes also introduce children to new vocabulary, which increases comprehension and benefits learning in all subjects. Most importantly, nursery rhymes are full of colorful characters and stories, which make them fun. The delight children experience as they engage in rhyme activities fosters an enduring enthusiasm for books and reading.

Review:

My son has always loved the computer and online videos. We came across Mothergooseclub.com and I found some videos that caught my son's attention. I found them to be very educational and decided to review the Nursery Rhyme Singing Time with Mother Goose Club DVD. The DVD has story-telling, sing-along songs, and lots of rhymes. The DVD is 40 minutes long and kept my son's attention for the entire length of time.

Giveaway:

I have the opportunity to host a giveaway for the same DVD to one of my readers.
