To be honest with you, I always associated them with people that snore, but even if you "think" you don't snore, you might want to try these out!  Read the article about snoring solutions if you are a snorer, or sleep next to one!  We were sent samples of the Lavender Scented Strips to check out and let me tell you, it is a bit weird (to me) how it works!     It is this little strip, sort of like a bandage, but hard and not really "flexible" like bandages are.  You lightly scratch the top, like a scratch and sniff sticker, and you are greeted with a lavender aroma.  I did not t...

Normally as soon as I am in the bed, it is just a short time before I am out... Broxton is more like his daddy in that it seems to take FOREVER for him to conk out. Marc has always had sleep issues and we have tried everything... with NOTHING working for him. I was recently contacted about a new "sleep support" and I wanted to let Marc try it out...  Glysonna is a drug-free sleep aid,  glycine  fortified with added wellness nutrients which helps you to reach restorative sleep by: a) Triggering relaxation. b) Sustaining sleep. and c) Initiating the natural sleep process. I had Marc try it and unfortunately for him, it di...

Margaret Wise Brown is the author of Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny.  (More than that, but those are the two that we know!)   Well, come to find out...  After she passed, it was found out that she had a treasure trove of unpublished works, just waiting to be shared with the world !  Luckily for us, it was allowed to be published --  but what is better is that she had music to go with these treasures and that is what we are blessed with now!!! Goodnight Songs is a beautifully illustrated book with each of these songs on a two page spread.  There is also a CD included in a special flap on the...

If you know anything about our house, it is that most people have a hard time sleeping in our family. Broxton has fought his sleep ever since he was born (still does at times) and then Marc... Well, he has always had trouble sleeping, as long as I have known him... My mom is another one.. So, when I heard of Dream Water , I knew it would be worth a shot. No... before you freak out, I did not get this for my child, I thought it was worth Marc trying. I originally wanted my mom to try it, as she has a hard time going to sleep and then most always wakes up during the night... But, when I found out about this, she was on a new medication the doctor wanted her to try, so we thought it was best not to add this to a sleeping pill.  I gave Marc one and told him to just drink the whole thing. (They are small, only like 2.5 ounces)  The thing is, they say some people drink half of it before bed... and then if they have a habit of waking up during the night, they drink the oth...

When do you start your Christmas shopping? I used to try and start towards the end of summer, that way I could be totally finished by December 1st.   Last year did not work out so well, so I am hoping this year is an improvement... The reason I ask is I have found a great MUST HAVE for this years list!!!! Cuddle Covers !!! They are super cute and really functional!!! It is a Pillowcase cover that is an adorable stuffed animal!!!! They have several animals that is sure to make kids of all ages smile!   You can pick between a Bear, Cat, Dog, Lion, Dinosaur or Unicorn! Now, I don't know about you.. but cars can get pretty packed when you head on a trip...  They need that special stuffed animal... they need their pillow for the ride... Well, not anymore! Just give them their Cuddle Cover and they are ready to go!!!  Yet another two in one that makes this mama smile! The Cuddle Cover site sells pillows to go in there, or you can jus...

It is Friday .... Know what that means... My question is: Do you have any pointers in helping to get a good nights sleep? Marc is still on some other time zone... His sleep is still a bit messed up. Any help in getting rest is much appreciated! :) Have a great weekend!
