THE PORTABLE PEDIATRICIAN
By William M.D., Martha Sears R.N., Robert MD, James Sears, M.D., Peter Sears M.D.
Imagine you are up at three o'clock in the morning with a sick child. Wouldn't it be nice to have expert advice readily at hand to help get you through the night? Encyclopedic in scope, THE PORTABLE PEDIATRICIAN features timely and practical information on every childhood illness and emergency, including when to call the doctor, what reassuring signs can help you know your child is okay, how to treat your child at home, and much more-all in a convenient A-to-Z format. Among the scores of topics covered:
teething; sprains and broken bones; nosebleeds; measles; ear infections; choking; rashes; colic; headaches; eating disorders; fever; hip pain; warts; allergies; obesity; seizures; Asperger's Syndrome; bronchitis; masturbation; sunburns; pneumonia; speech delay; lice; vomiting; asthma; heart defects; blisters; sleep problems; and more.
I am so glad we have a copy of this book in our house. It is great that it goes from baby to teen and I know there are going to be plenty of times in the next 15 years when this book is going to be so helpful. There have been times in the past I almost had a panic attack because something happened and it was after hours. At least now I can begin to treat shane while I wait for a doctor to call back. Every parent needs this book.
WIN IT
One Lucky winner will read a copy of THE PORTABLE PEDIATRICIAN.

Hayneedle Review and $75 gift card Giveaway
There are a couple of online stores I trust to get all the things I need for my house and Hayneedle is one of them.
Hayneedle has over 200 specialty stores for home work and play.
I find myself spending hours on this site. It's so much fun to shop.
I have been in the market for a kitchen trash can.
Ours is very small and has to be emptied way to often.
I was very impressed to see Hayneedle's variety of Kitchen Trash Cans. They even carry Recycling bins and Bathroom Trash Cans.
Hayneedle was kind enough to let me review the Nine Stars Touchless Stainless Steel 13.2 Gallon Trash Can.
This trash can is awesome. Its features include
13.2-gallon gray stainless steel
Hands-free touchless operation
Motion-sensor activated opening and closing system
Sleek and attractive oval shape
It has a sensor on the top so as soon as you move your hand across, it opens for you automatically. This is really great for when you have your hands full. It is especially great for my dad who had a stroke and is unable to use a trash can with a foot peddle. It's 13 gallon size is great and fits a lot. It fits very nice against our fridge.
WIN IT

Do you plan to Travel out of the Country
Going out of the country can be quite the experience. I remember how neat it was to see many different places when I was on my Honeymoon. We took a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean and just loved it.
I planned everything for our cruise. I looked into excursions and I even called the credit card company to let them know we would be out of the country so that they didn't shut off my card in fear it was stolen. The one thing I didn't think about was short term travel insurance.
I really don't know had we gotten sick or something would have happened if our health insurance would have covered it. Thinking back we took a huge risk and should have gotten short term health insurance.
"Short term travel health insurance offers coverage for doctor visits, hospitalizations, surgery, prescriptions and other related expenses for eligible sicknesses and injuries. Some plans also offer coverage for medical evacuation and repatriation."
Can you imagine having to be air lifted from the ship without insurance. The cost would be tremendous. After learning more about short term travel insuranceI really think its a good idea if you are going to be out of the country.

New Balance TrueBalance 850 Shoes Review and Giveaway
In the Last year I have really discovered New Balance Brand Shoes. Sure I had seen them in stores but I am a girl of habit and never tried them on.
I WAS MISSING OUT. NEW BALANCE SHOES ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES I HAVE OWNED AND WORN!
One of the other things I love about New Balance are that they come in Wide. I have to admit I have larger feet that are wide and some shoes are very uncomfortable because of that. Sometimes it very hard to find a wide shoe and I appreciate that New balance has the wide option in their shoes.
The Truebalance 850 are great toning shoes.
"True Balance breakthrough balance board technology offers stylish comfort with enhanced muscle toning and calorie burning while you walk. The fiercely fun 850 is all about wellness--whether you lace them up because they look great or for your health, you're in for a comfortable ride."
I have been wearing them for a few weeks and love them. They are my everyday shoe now and I love that they are helping me tone but are also very very comfortable.
I do want to mention they are for walking and are not made as a running shoe.
If you are in the market for a running shoe New Balance makes shoes specifically for running and I am sure you could find one that would be a perfect fit for you.

Playdate
Tonight Shane had a playdate. The girls and I went to High school together and we all have kids around the same age. He had a blast and I am looking forward to another playdate in the future.
I was nice for him to play with his friends and nice to have some girl talk with the other mom's.
Here are some pics of Shane's new friends :)

Chicken Soup For The Soul review and giveaway 3 winners
I love chicken soup for the soul books. They always contain great real life stories that are many times inspirational.
With the new year here many people have goals of losing weight and or changing their lives to make them more healthy and fit. So I was very excited to review the Chicken Soup for the Soul: Shaping the New You book.
101 Encouraging Stories about Dieting and Fitness... and Finding What Works for You
No one likes to diet, but the personal stories in this book will encourage and inspire readers with its positive, practical, and purposeful tales of dieting and fitness. Readers will find hope, help, and hints on getting fit and staying healthy in these 101 stories from those who have been there, done that, and maintained it. Stories about wake-up calls and realizations, moving more and eating better, self-esteem and support, and lifestyle changes, big and small, will motivate any reader looking to start fresh or needing a boost. This is a great book for anyone embarking on a healthier lifestyle.
I really loved this book reading stories about others struggles makes it easier to endure my own struggles. I feel as if I am not alone and there is hope. As with all the chicken soup books this is a great book that I plan to read many times.

Happy Valentines Day...GUESS WHAT I GOT
Those of you who know me know I am a very Practical person.
I don't believe in flowers because I although they are beautiful they die a few days later and to be honest that is a waste of money IMO. It took my husband a while to learn how practical I am but he knows now.
We aren't much on getting gifts because we really have all we need and spending time together is what is really important but there has been something practical I have wanted for a while now and I was super excited to get it as a Valentines Day gift.
THE BLENDTEC TOTAL BLENDER
Countertop Blender
The all-in-one appliance to help you every day.
Total Blender is the all-in-one appliance that makes smoothies, fresh juice, ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, margaritas, soups, sauces, bread dough, dressings, salsas and more! It replaces up to 9 other appliances with one fast easy-to-use machine, at a fraction of the cost.
This machine is awesome and I am super excited to make smoothies, IceCream, soup and other things in it. It comes with a 7 year warranty since it was bought at Costco.
I'll be using this all the time. SO much better than chocolate and/or flowers :)
This post was NOT SPONSORED. My Husband Paid for the Blender!
Thanks to My wonderful husband who got me such a Great Valentines Day present.
He will be getting Lasagna and some really yummy IceCream for desert (from the blendtec) and of course quality time with me :)

Snapware Review and Giveaway
Snapware makes some great products to help you stay organized. I for one can always use the storage to help myself and family stay organized so I was very excited to be given the opportunity to review some snapware products.
I was sent the 10 piece airtight canister set and the large 2 layer snap and stack with Graphite Lid.
I love the 10 piece airtight canister set. I store cereal, cookies and brown sugar. It keeps the brown sugar from clumping and keeps cereal and cookies fresh.
The 2 layer snap and stack is also great. I keep my hair brushes and accessories in it as well as my makeup. Its great to keep my side of the bathroom organized.
Snapware makes really great storage options for the home, their prices are great and their products are quality. I have added some more snapware items to my birthday list:)

New Jammies Review and Giveaway
I love kids PJ's. They are so cute.
I have noticed that some PJ's are very flimsy. They rip easily, are very thin or fade after just one wash.
So I am always on the look out for quality kids PJ's that are also very stylish.
Not to long ago I came across NewJammies.com. They have some of the cutest PJ's I have seen. Not only that but they are 100% organic cotton. No chemicals on you kids skin what so ever.
I love love love the fruit and veggie Jammies they carry but when I saw the Wild Stallion Pj's I had to have them for Shane.
He loves these PJ's and I do too. Its nice to know he is wearing quality and that it is organic so his skin is not being exposed to any chemicals.
WIN IT
New Jammies has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a pair of PJ's their choice of either Bikes, Ballerinas, Wild Stallions boys or Girls and in the size of your choice. $35 value
