Caring Bridge - Share Your Heart

If you have been around here for some time, you might recall me mentioning a friends child, Ward. 
Thanks to Caring Bridge, I was able to stay up to date on all that was going on with him...
He is healthy and doing great now, this was 2 years ago and a very scary time....

That being said, when I received an email, I wanted to share it with you:

Let’s Share the Love! CaringBridge Launches “Share Your Heart” Contest
People invited to submit acts of kindness for chance to win two iPad Minis
EAGAN, Minn. (Feb. 12, 2013) –Whether it’s a heartfelt note before your first day at a new job or a declaration of love written in the clouds, people express their love and support for one another in big and small ways every day. This February, CaringBridge, the caring social network that keeps families and loved ones connected during any type of health event, invites people to submit those touching acts of compassion during the “Share Your Heart” contest.
“CaringBridge grew out of the need and desire to amplify the love, hope and compassion in the world,” said Sona Mehring, founder and CEO of CaringBridge. “We’re excited to offer the Share Your Heart contest to bring to life the great examples of our mission in action.”
It's easy to enter the “Share Your Heart” contest. Simply visit heart.CaringBridge.org to upload a photo, video or a written description of up to 50 words of how you share your heart with those you love and support.  
Any act of caring big or small is welcome. It could be a video hug for a sweetie, a photo of the flowers you gave to the neighbor, plastering someone’s room with cutout hearts or any other way to spread love in the world.
During the contest, visitors to heart.CaringBridge.org can vote on their favorite entry. People can also share their submissions with family and friends inviting them to vote. The entry with the most votes wins two iPad minis—helping the winner stay connected with their loved one online.
Additionally, everyone who shares their heart on heart.CaringBridge.org will be entered in a random drawing to win one of 10 gift certificates from Pear Tree Greetings, an online greeting card company that helps people celebrate life’s sharable moments.
The contest opens February 11. People can submit their acts of love and caring by March 1 and voting will be open through March 6.
You can share your heart every day on CaringBridge.org, the nonprofit caring social network that helps you amplify love, hope and compassion by providing a private place for you to share your health journey and receive support from those you love.

    That sounds like fun! Emerson is on Caring Bridge.

    Isaak just got a sheet from preschool to do 20 acts of kindness this month. I was kind of shocked that they want 20. It seemed like a lot for a preschooler. So far we have 10, so maybe we can do it.

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... ...
