Minted.Com Holiday Cards!

 

Its that time of year again to whip out the camera and snap some awesome shots so you can create your own personalized holiday cards!!

Here's MY story: So I am the type of person that sends Christmas cards out every year no matter how busy I am, but in a rush I use to just pick up those packs of mixed cards you see in your local discount store and figured they'd do the trick. Thing is...they don't. As the holidays came and went I started noticing how awesome some of the cards were that people sent me and how boring mine were in comparison. Not Cool because I am not a boring person. I wanted nice writing and cool pictures and pretty envelopes!! I wanted people to get my card and say "Wow, this is neat!" and by them remembering my card they should also remember the message it came with! I know some of my friends do theirs at supercenters and they turn out okay too but I needed something simplier...I have 4 kids...theres no way I can make my Christmas cards and keep my sanity intact at a store. Then came Minted! I can now do everything I wanted to and more from my computer chair!  I can make cards with unique shaped edges, add my kids pictures to it or have no picture at all, pick out my font design and its size! I control the thickness of my paper and the color of my envelopes and can even make return labels to jazz my card up even more!! A professional will even check over your creation and fix or let you know of any problems and make you a proof to see!! The quality and designs are great, the customer service is excellent if you need any help and the price is right! So if your looking to wow your friends and family with a card this year and show them your not a "boring christmas card picker-outer" its time to start your holiday cards with Minted!!!

 

P.S. The style above is what I picked out! Its bright and beautiful and has plenty of places to add your own touch to it! I also decided to not have it like a traditional card but to have a family picture put right on the back (so its only front and back...no inside!) and I picked out silver envelopes instead of "boring" white and made some return labels to spice it up even more!! I hope you enjoy making your holiday cards as much as I did!! Remember to be creative...especially since you can be!! ;)

FeverAll Acetaminophen Suppositories

 

 

Why should I keep FeverAll^® in my medicine cabinet, you ask? Four big reasons!

1. Benzocaine teething gels are a no-no. Earlier this year, the FDA advised against using teething medicine containing benzocaine commonly found in teething gels. Acetaminophen is safe when used as directed and is commonly recommended by pediatricians as a temporary pain reliever for teething.

2. As a parent, you know to expect the unexpected. With FeverAll^®, you will be ready to temporarily relieve your infant’s or child’s pain and reduce fever, even when you are unable to get them to take liquid acetaminophen orally due to fussiness, vomiting, spitting up, or spitting out.

3. FeverAll^® is trusted: It’s an Official Recommended Product of “Mommy MD Guides” (http://www.mommymdguides.com/), and parents and healthcare providers have relied on the accuracy and ease-of-use of FeverAll^® for more than 30 years to temporarily relieve pain and reduce fever.

4. There’s nothing else like it: FeverAll^® is the top national brand of acetaminophen in suppository form and FeverAll^® Infants’ Strength (80 mg) is the ONLY acetaminophen suppository approved for infants as young as six months.

FeverAll^® is available at major retailers and drugstores across the U.S., such as CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Walmart, for a suggested retail price of approximately $7.00 for a package of six suppositories. FeverAll^® is available in three strengths, ranging from Infants to Children’s and Jr. Strength for kids up to 12 years of age. Learn more about FeverAll^® at www.FeverAll.com and join our community at www.Facebook.com/FeverAll.

 

My baby girl starting her teething journey!

 

 



 

 

My Take: 

 

        I'm a mommy to 4 children age 5 and under....needless to say I have encountered many times where my teething or sick babies needed medication and over the past 5 years what has been considered "safe" has changed dramatically, which is a scary thing for parents! I have had babies teething when the Tylenol recall happened and all were pulled from shelves, I have used Hyland's teething tablets when they were pulled from shelves and I used the teething gels shortly before the FDA declared them unsafe due to the benzocaine. It's a SCARY thing! When I was informed about the FeverAll Acetaminophen Suppositories I was also scared, BUT for a different reason. Between you and me I have never actually had to administer one before. I was trained to do it in one of my past jobs but never had to put my knowledge into action. To ease your mind though here is why I am still using FeverAll - it wasn't hard at all!!! Granted the first time was a bit different for my baby girl and I but by taking the chance I KNEW what amount of medication she had (since she wasnt spitting out liquid all over) and I saw the relief she got from it and it was QUICK! Not only will it reduce a fever when she has one but last month alone she got 7 teeth (seriously...yea...Seven!) and she was in much less pain after giving her the FeverAll. The most important thing for me as a mom on this journey is to do what is safe for my girls and right now FeverAll is the only thing I still feel safe using after what I saw happen to all the other meds I use to use. If you are in the same position I was in a few months ago please give them a try. Not only will it ease your mind but your infant/toddler/child will feel the relief too!

ISSUE:  Childhood Obesity and Lack of Nutritious Choices in Drinks
    Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled. (letsmove.gov)Today, nearly one in three children in America is overweight or obese. (letsmove.gov)
If we don’t solve this problem, one third of all children born in 2000 or later will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives.  (letsmove.gov) Soft drink consumption rose more than 50% among kids from 1977 to 1997.  The prevalence of obesity also roughly doubled in that time. (National Center for Health Statistics)Due to campaigns such as Michele Obama’s “Let’s Move,” moms are becoming much more aware of the products they purchase and this trend will continue

My Take:

With 4 children under the age of 5 what everyone eats and drinks in my house is an everyday battle......Do you go healthy?Cheap?Buy the same things every shopping trip? Get what sounds good? Get what's easiest?  I never knew becoming a mom also meant becoming a nutritionist but I know now it comes with the territory! As it states above....we are raising children that have a 1 in 3 chance of being overweight....odds like that aren't something I can just brush off! My normal pick for juice boxes is actually listed second on the chart above (Capri Sun) and after trying Genesis Today Power Blast Juice Boxes I can firmly state that I won't be purchasing Capri Sun again for my children.....it has 4 TIMES more sugar in it with none of the "good benefits" that Genesis Today Power Blast Juice Boxes have.....why pay the same amount of money for a less appealing product...it makes no sense in my "mom brain"! My favorite was actually the blueberry power blast box, it had a great taste and blueberry is not a flavor I normally see in a juice box! The Power Rangers on the juice box can also be a deal breaker for most kids....I personally told my kids that these juice boxes "will make you strong and healthy like a power ranger" which in all honesty when you look at the facts its the best option out there to get that effect for your children! You can know your giving you children something healthier to drink while not having to pay more for it! Simply add it to your grocery list this week, you have nothing to lose! Click this link for more information and also check the store locator to find the closest place near you carrying this product ........mines a Wal-Mart about 20 minutes away!! Which makes me super happy! In a world where everything is about ease and cost its easy to forget to look into the other important stuff.....but with the problems facing our children down the road we have to remember to look out for them! :)
