Hyland's Homeopathic Products Review and Giveaway

When did your child start teething? 

Lucky for me (NOT!), my son acted like he was teething starting at month 3 but didn't actually get his teeth until he was 9 months old! It was nice not getting them until he was a little older...however, that also meant he got 4 teeth within weeks of each other and it was really not fun for Mommy or my son! I think I am still a little traumatized from those months and I am DEFINITELY not looking forward to teething time with my daughter!

As you know, I don't give my children most mainstream medicines or foods. I am really particular about what goes in their bodies and on their skins. If it isn't natural and/or organic, it probably isn't in my house.

Therefore, when teething time and sickness come around, I don't give my children anything that isn't natural including products with Benzocaine, artificial dyes and colors, alcohol and sugars...which eliminates most drugs and medicines sold in stores and given by doctors! It can be hard but I have a couple of natural and homeopathic companies I really trust when these tough times come around to help heal and soothe my children.

One of my favorite brands for teething time is Hyland's! When my son started teething about 2 years ago, I called up my mom begging her for a solution for teething pain so I could help my son! She recommended teething tablets. They don't numb (she tried numbing products one time on herself and found it was terrible and vowed she would never give that to her children!) but work naturally with the body to soothe and take away pain!

I immediately headed to the store and found Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Tablets and have never looked back! They were so soothing to my son during those rough teething months and I recommend them to every mother who is searching for teething pain solution for their child! I have always heard great feedback and a lot of genuine thanks for my suggestion!

I also feel great when I give Hyland's products to my children because they develop homeopathic formulas with the highest quality natural ingredients following the strictest standards for preparation. With a century of commitment to homeopathy, Hyland's tradition of excellence consistently provides quality and integrity in every homeopathic product.

I am so excited to see, and now own, Hyland's homeopathic Cough Syrup and other cold/cough and allergy products for babies and toddlers. My son suffers from some seasonal allergies and Hyland's Sniffles 'n Sneezes 4Kids and the Hyland's Allergy Relief 4Kids works wonders for my son!

Some of my other favorite products from Hyland's is the Cough Syrup, Tiny Cold Tablets, Vitamin C Tablets, and Infant Earache Drops for babies! What a great range of products - and all safe and free from harmful ingredients that are in most mainstream products!

Buy It: You can purchase all Hyland's products from local retailers including Walgreens, CVS, and Target!

Have You Ever Hacked A Computer?

In Season 5 episode ‘Chuck Versus the Hack Off’ we really get to see some of our humble hero’s computer hacking skills. In this episode directed by Zackary Levi, Chuck aka The Piranha must bypass the security systems allowing the team to infiltrate and grab the computer super virus, the Omen virus.

As a blogger and website owner, I have had to "hack" my own site and figure out how to solve many "issues" and problems that arise with my site. I have been forced to learn computer and website lingo and knowledge such as html code, templates, and other concepts that were VERY foreign before I started blogging. After having to fix and add things many times to my website, I surprisingly feel pretty comfortable working with html code. When I show my husband what I am doing, he just gives me a really confused look and says it looks like a foreign language! It REALLY DOES look like jibberish and it takes a lot of patience to figure it out! I must say I am surprised and happy to know what most of it means now and that I was able to fix my blog issues on my own...by trial and error and lots of "Googling" and researching of course! :)

To learn more about how Chuck hacks into the computers to save everyone from the Omen virus, make sure to use Promo Code c5wbwrd for 20% off + free shipping to buy Chuck: The Complete Fifth Season on DVD or Chuck: The Complete Fifth Season on Blu-Ray from wbshop.

Was there a time where you had to call upon certain computer skill sets to complete the task at hand?

Did you end up getting the job? 

Were you a bit surprised in how well you did?

Book Review: My Stubborn Heart

About the book:

Kate Donovan is burned out on work, worn down by her dating relationships, and in need of an adventure. When her grandmother asks her to accompany her to Redbud, Pennsylvania, to restore the grand old house she grew up in, Kate jumps at the chance.

Upon her arrival in Redbud, Kate meets Matt Jarreau, the man hired to renovate the house. Kate can't help being attracted to him, drawn by both his good looks and something else she can't quite put her finger on. He's clearly wounded--hiding from people, from God, and from his past. Yet Kate sets her stubborn heart on bringing him out of the dark and back into the light...whether he likes it or not.

When the stilted, uncomfortable interactions between Kate and Matt slowly shift into something more, is God finally answering the longing of her heart? Or will Kate be required to give up more than she ever dreamed?

About Becky Wade:

During her childhood in California, Becky frequently produced homemade plays starring her sisters, friends, and cousins. These plays almost always featured a heroine, a prince, and a love story with a happy ending. She's been a fan of all things romantic ever since.

Becky and her husband lived overseas in the Caribbean and Australia before settling in Dallas, Texas. It was during her years abroad that Becky's passion for reading turned into a passion for writing. She published three historical romances with Avon Books, then put her career on hold for several years to care for her kids, then recently returned to writing sheerly for the love of it. She felt led to move to the genre of contemporary Christian romance and couldn't be more thrilled with it.

These days Becky can be found failing but trying to keep up with her housework, sweating at the gym, carting her kids around town, playing tennis, hunched over her computer, eating chocolate, or collapsed on the sofa watching TV with her husband.

My Opinion

Let me just start by saying, I LOVED THIS BOOK! It really was a page turner, a love story, and a great Christian contemporary fiction novel all in one! The characters were great and easy to like and I loved the way they all interacted with each other!

I usually like historical romance books but this contemporary romance was just as good for me! I loved the story line, the Christian elements, and, of course, the Romance!

I definitely recommend this book for all Christian romance lovers! You won't want to put it down!

TeethMe Box Review

Like most new moms, exhaustion is one of the biggest hardships after having a baby. The nights of no sleep, constant breastfeeding, and endless rocking really takes its toll. I don't know how many times I have wished for breakfast, lunch and dinner to show up on my doorstep with a big bow on it at exactly meal time everyday! Have you had this same dream before...or is it just me??

Well, I can't get dinner on my doorstep, but thanks to TeetheMe.com I can get a box of baby products delivered right to my door!

When you subscribe to TeetheMe, a monthly box of 4 to 5 products for your child aged newborn to 3 years old, will be stork delivered straight to your door in our signature TeetheMe Box. It really saves on trips to the store to get baby toys or baby products and who doesn't like a present on their doorstep every month??

TeetheMe really takes the guesswork out of the seemingly endless amount of baby products on the market and they only send you the most innovative, practical and unique products available. The items in each box are hand picked by savvy moms and are based upon the child’s age. Don’t worry, they will not be sending a 2 year old the latest swaddle blanket!

In my box for April, I received the items pictured above. My favorite item was the Teething Bling. I remember with dread my son's teething months and I definitely am not looking forward to those months with my daughter. The Teething Bling will definitely come in handy and I can't wait to see if it helps (well...I still would surpass those months if I could...)

If you want to brighten a new mother friend's day or your own each month, along with getting a great box of the latest and greatest baby toys/products, then check out the TeethMe boxes!

Buy It: You can purchase a 1 month TeethMe box for $24 or a monthly membership for $24/month on TeethMe.com

Boston Body Barre

Looking for a different type of exercise for your fitness regime? I have got the perfect fitness DVD for you today - Boston Body Barre!

Boston Body Barre is a Pilates and Cardio based fitness program that will transform your body in just 30 sessions. Zayna Gold, Boston Body Program Director, has designed this 60 minute routine to target your problem areas and get results fast. Practice this DVD 2-3 times a week and watch your body become stronger, leaner and more graceful - especially for challenge areas like buttocks, waistline, and upper arms.

It is really easy to follow and led by a friendly instructor. To maximize effectiveness, most moves incorporate a resistance band or a soft ball (e.g. squeezed between your thighs). You'll begin with lower-body barre exercises — classics like pliés and standing leg lifts. After a very short "cardio" segment, you'll move into a standing series that works your legs and buttocks (while also toning your arms with the resistance band). The program ends with traditional and Pilates floorwork. Zanya's cuing is clear and very detailed, but also informal and inviting (you'll feel like you're just working out with friends). You do need to have a resistance band and an inflatable ball so keep that in mind when considering this DVD for your next workout!

I love how unique the exercises are in this DVD and they are so effective! It gives me a breath of fresh air from my same old exercises that I usually do!

Buy It: You can purchase Boston Body Barre for $20 on the Boston Body Barre website.
