BabyComfy’s Dehydration Solution

categories: Reviews

Flu season is approaching and I don’t know about you but I have some nervous feelings. We just moved and I have this irrational thought that we aren’t immune to our new states’ germs.

Am I crazy?

Whatever the case, that nasty stomach bug is starting to crawl into houses and I want to be prepared. I have been looking around and researching to see what steps I can take, and one of them is to get us all disposable medical grade face coverings to wear outside the house and if we are in large groups. I feel like during a season where illness is on the rise, that it is a good solution to go for.

However, as a “newish” mom I worry because it’s not just about me catching the flu and watching horrible daytime television all day. I have two little ones who could be seriously affected by catching those nasty viruses.

So this winter I wanted to be extra prepared, which is why I added BabyComfy Hydrator to my medicine cabinet.

Research has developed pediatric electrolytes to keep those sick littles hydrated and far from hospital visits. The only problem is the delivery method. You could use a tiny 5ml medicine syringe that results in multiple “doses” of fluids. Which also means multiple battles of getting your sick one to cooperate. The other option is a sippy cup which often times can administer too much liquids too quickly, resulting in vomiting. Caring for a lethargic sick child is a scary battle most moms will have to eventually face. And while us adults could just look for the best place to buy adrafinil capsules which might help to promote wakefulness, it’s a bit more complicated with our babies.

However, thanks to the BabyComfy Hydrator, administering fluids is no longer a battle.

The Hydrator is a comfortable and simple way to administer measured liquids to your littles.

The soft rubber tip is easy for babies to latch onto and suck liquids out independently, unlike a medicine syringe. I always struggle giving liquids with the syringe without my kids gaging. It always comes out too fast and no matter how hard I try my kids never seem prepared for liquid to hit their throat. The Hydrator is shaped like a sippy cup spout which makes it familiar for toddler age. My son easily drank from the spout without any spills or drips. He is 2 and a half and easily pushed the plunger and took the fluids independently.

The Hydrator barrel measures out 2.5 oz, a perfect amount to not overfill sensitive stomachs. The plunger is very fitted which does make filling it quite a muscly challenge, however that protects liquids from coming out too fast. Having a stubborn toddler who wants to do everything independently, it is nice not to worry he is getting too much liquid too quickly.

In addition, the hydrator is made with fun colors and has a dolphin look. I don’t know about you, but my kids are always more cooperative when something looks like a toy. When my son was sick he was completely amused with his new “sippy” and happily drank his needed liquid.

Even while I was writing this review my son saw the pictures and asked if he could drink out of his special cup again.

The Hydrator was created by BabyComfyCare, a family owned and inspired company. With two small children and experience in therapy, engineering, and material science, Peter and Elise started developing products to meet their family’s needs. They’ve created products from nasal aspirators, nail clippers, nursing covers, and more.

The Hydrator can be purchased separately or in the BabyComfy Kit .

The four piece baby essentials kit includes:

This great value pack would make a wonderful baby shower gift. I especially think it would be a perfect present for a second time mom since it includes innovative tools that she might have not received the first time around.

Overall, I feel at ease having the BabyComfy Hydrator in my medicine cabinet. Its innovative design assures I can administer a perfect amount of liquids to my littles at the perfect speed.

I wish you a happy, healthy, germ free flu seasons…but if not Baby Comfy has you covered.

Fun Ways to Use Your Stamping Skills at School

categories: Reviews

 

Fun Ways to Use Your Stamping Skills at School

Stamping is a great way to get into paper crafting. It allows you to be creative, but it also provides you with a starting image or phrase that can spark that creativity. And one of the best places to be creative is at school!

Whether you’re a teacher looking for a fun way to get creative in the classroom, or you want to wow the kids and parent’s in your child’s class, these fun ways to use your crafting stamps at school are sure to get attention for all the right reasons.

Customize a Stamp for Your Kid’s Class

There are plenty of fun ways to use stamps. We’ll get to a few in just a second, but one of the best ways to use stamps is to share the joy of using them with others. There’s no better way to do that than with custom stamps!

Create a special design just for your class. Then, either use the stamp throughout the year for special projects, or create enough to pass them out to each of the students at the beginning of the year. They’ll love getting to use their new stamp on projects in school and at home!

Create Holiday Cards

Cards are one of the best ways to show others that you’re thinking of them. Unfortunately, cards from the store can be expensive, and they’re so impersonal. Instead, buy cheap cardstock and create custom cards for each of the kids in class! Create fun cards for:

  • Birthdays
  • Valentine’s Day
  • Christmas
  • Graduations
  • Thank yous
  • And more

Because stamps are so easy to use, you can even get the kids in on the action! Have your children help you make special cards for their friends. If you’re a teacher, bring stamps to school and create a fun activity that allows the kids to make cards for each other.

You can even create stamped holiday cards for other teachers and staff in the building.

Use Stamps to Create Goody Bags

Goody bags are a staple in any classroom. If your child has an upcoming birthday, or if you’re planning a Valentine’s party for your class, you just have to fill some bags with goodies.

It’s true that the kids will want to tear into their bags to see what’s inside, but shouldn’t what’s outside by just as wonderful? With stamps, they’ll think twice about tearing that bag to pieces.

Use stamps on plain paper bags to customize them for each student in the class. You can even use stamps on cardboard and wooden goody boxes. You may find that the kids take them home and reuse them.

The sky is the limit when it comes to fun ways to use stamps. From art projects to special holiday celebrations, you’ll have fun making things for the kids, and the kids in the class will love using stamps to bring out their creative side. Especially if you have special custom stamps made for everyone!

Scent Back to School with Crayola

categories: Reviews

Do you smell it?

It’s the smell of summer ending. Pools closing. Buses arriving. Kids heading Back-to-School!

My nephew is headed to 1st grade this year! Hard to believe he is old enough to be in the grade I use to teach. Definitely makes this Aunt Haha want to cry and reminisce over old baby pictures.

How about you?

Are you one of those parents bursting with excitement to push those energetic, mess maker, eating machines, out the door to school? Is it just me or does it seem like kids are hungry every second of summer break?

 

Maybe you’re a mama whose heart is breaking watching your first, or last, baby climbing those big bus stairs on their way to their first day of kindergarten. I always love seeing the huge backpacks on their little bodies and wondering what 5 year old has that much homework?

 

Or perhaps you are sitting in a classroom counting desks, rechecking lesson plans, and giving yourself a world changer teacher pep talk? Whether it’s your first or last year teaching, you will always get the first day of school jitters.

 

For me I am super excited to start our first year of homeschool preschool! As a past teacher, I have been itching to build lesson plans with activities, music, crafts, and play.

Yeah. I am definitely one of ‘those moms’ who can’t stop themselves from still being a teacher. I will forever rock holiday theme earrings and make everything and anything into a song.

 

Just like I can’t stop being a teacher, Crayola will never stop being our go to for school supplies!

From their first box of affordable wax crayons in 1903 to becoming the leading producer of hands-on products for creative fun, Crayola has been working hard to inspire creativity in all children…and adults.

 

That’s why parents and teachers trust Crayola to fill those larger than life backpacks with all the needed school supplies.

 

This year Crayola’s new featured product is Silly Scents. These new coloring tools come with the same great colorful quality you’d expect, but with an extra gift for your nose. My son was first drawn to the Silly Scent characters decorating the packaging. He kept telling me he wanted to color with the cool angry guy, aka the roasting marshmallow. The bold silly smells bring laughter and delight to any child’s coloring experience, while making it a multi-sensory activity.

 

From the perspective of a toddler mama, I really enjoy the mini twistables! They are perfect for little hands and are an excellent size for on the go. The durable plastic barrels keep the crayon core safe from constant use or your toddler seeing how many crayons he can break in a minute.

 

As a past teacher, I am in LOVE with the twistable colored pencils! If I could have, I would have made all my students use these. The amount of time students spent sharpening colored pencils was unreal. I used to beg kids to use a different color or borrow a friend’s. Classroom productivity can take a mega boost when outfitted with ready to use and quality products.

As a crafter, I was surprisingly impressed with the chiseled tip and Slim Fine Line markers. When my son and I started opening a pack of makers and I realized they were chiseled edge, I immediately convinced him they were mommy markers and we should try a different kind.

Mama of the year award!

I love typography and card making and I’m always looking for a good marker. I was pleasantly surprised by both the chisel tip and slim fine line markers. They produced great colors and gave me versatility.

 

 

An added bonus is Crayola offers free coloring sheets, including their Silly Scent characters. Its a nice break from my 2 year old’s drawing demands.

So whether you are filling up your “baby’s” first back pack or starting another year of shaping little minds, I wish you the happiest of back to school days!

How to Stay Healthy on an Overnight Trip

How to Stay Healthy on an Overnight Camping Trip

Introduction

Camping with the family is always a brilliant time. We try and get out to a campsite at least once a year for a week or so and just lose ourselves in nature. We used to take a big tent that we would all sleep in but my husband bought us an RV from Halterman’s RV a few years back and we’ve not looked back!

So, when it comes the time of year where we can take the RV Covers off and finally hit the road, we want to make sure we keep healthy throughout our trip and don’t resort to any unhygienic bad habits! A healthy overnight camping trip isn’t the easiest thing to pull off. This is especially the case when you’re in with your children and you’re wondering what it will take for things to go smoothly.

Luckily, there are a number of do-it-yourself tricks that will make it easier for you and your family to enjoy your next camping trip out in the woods.

Three Healthy Tips

There are dozens of tips out there that you can utilize in order to make your camping trip an experience to remember.

However, in this article, we are going to focus on the three specific healthy tips from Outdoorsy.co that deal with staying healthy when you’re on an overnight camping trip.

Towelrod Bathroom Organizer

Keeping your toiletries neatly organized on the road can be tricky and this is even more so the case when you’re in an RV camper or trailer. It would definitely be worth taking a look through some RV consumer guides to find out more about other peoples experiences and tips to help you get started!

However, if you’re looking to keep your shampoos, gels, and soaps organized for you and your family, you should consider purchasing a towel-rod bathroom organizer.

Your different items will be kept orderly and in place, and the towel rod can be installed on the bathroom counter or on the wall near the bathtub.

If you need more information about this kind of product or similar ones, you should check out this article from Pinterest: Hanging Shower Caddy

Command Hooks

Whether its’ for your clothes, your kitchen supplies, or for your electrical cords, having a supply of command hooks will help you keep your RV camper safe and orderly for the duration of your trip. If you don’t already have a functioning RV Battery, you certainly need to get one. You really don’t want to be stuck in the cold with no power. If you don’t know what to look for from an RV battery, this top 10 best list will help you decide which is the best for you!

Command hooks are multi-purpose items and can really come in handy when you’re on the road.

If you want to do things like keep your clothes dry, make sure your children are out of reach from electrical cords, or have easy access to aluminum foil, you may want to invest in a command hook before the next camping trip.

Shower Lines

Lastly, if you do not have the luxury of having a place to put your toiletries on a counter or shelf, you may want to consider buying a shower line.

A shower line is effective in holding multiple small bottles of soap, body wash, shampoo, and other toiletries together by being hooked to a lanyard, which you can put over the shower head to have it hang there for you and your family to use.

While not the most convenient solution, if you don’t have much space in the RV camper and you still want easy access to wash your hair and clean your body, getting a shower line could be your best bet.

If you’re not sure where to find shower lines to buy, you can easily purchase them from Amazon.com. Here’s the link to one of the most popular brands: ShowerLine Shower Caddy

Conclusion

Whether you’re camping for just one night or for the whole week, these three tips will help you to stay fresh and healthy during your next adventure.
