The "perfect" B.R.A.T. to have around - Review


I am still learning when it comes to some things about being a mommy.
I have NEVER said I knew it all...
I and KNOW I for sure never will.
Does anyone?

A month or so ago, Broxton was pretty sick.
I think I might have blogged about it, or at least, took a "bloggy break" to deal with it.
Remember?
Broxton was sick, then me... Then Broxton again?
Of course, it had to happen when Marc was out of town...
Anyways, just a bit before that, I was searching for what to do when your little one is sick.

You know what I am talking about...
Not being able to hold anything at all down.
NO food or drinks...

We all know that you don't want to risk dehydration...
BUT, I was so lost...
No milk for an upset tummy, it makes it worse...
No juice for an upset tummy, it makes it worse...
Broxton refuses to even try to drink some things...
WHAT TO DO?!

I was freaking out...
I was told there were a few things we could try...
and out of the doctors office's mouth.
"Don't forget the BRAT diet."
THANK GOODNESS I had recently read up on it, for I sure would have sounded dumb trying to figure that out!

Are you familiar with it?
B- Banana's
R- (brown) Rice
A- Applesauce
T- Toast

When Broxton gets sick, he will not eat ANYTHING.
All he wants (if anything at all) is something to drink.

Introducing -
BRAT Diet Drink!
Luckily for all of us, Greg and Ilsa Toepfer created the BRAT drink.
It is all-natural, certified organic and lactose, gluten, casein, soy and corn-free with no added sugar or preservatives.
Wait a minute, it gets better...
It comes in 4 great flavors!!!
You can try : Original, Vanilla, Cinnamon Toast, and/or Chocolate Honey.
Thank goodness that we have not needed this yet.
I have it ready to go when the time does come up, so we are prepared now!!!

BRAT diet drink is also not just for little ones...
It is great for those suffering from the flu, morning sickness and several other ailments.

You can purchase these products through the BRAT DIET DRINK website, or in select retail stores such as Babies-R-Us or Whole Foods (just to name a few.)

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
