Febreze In Wash Odor Eliminator

Image
Dogs can be stinky. So can cats. Febreze says Bring the Stink. Bring on Sweat, pet odor, smoke or mildew. I hate when my kids leave clothes in the wash too long. It happens more often then not. I can now combat that with Febreze's newest product. This in wash odor eliminator. Just pour in your laundry detergent, like normal, then add in the recommended amount of Febreze and start your wash. How happy does it make you to have fresh smelling clothes? I love it! I hate coming home from the in laws, after holidays. We all smell like ash trays. It is going to be nice to come home and toss in the wash and not have to repeatedly wash. Just 1 wash and smell gone. We have athletic kids and the smell is gone. Sweat is seriously a stench after a boy runs the football field! We love Febreze!

Autism and the Holiday Caos- How To Lesson the Breakdowns

The coming holiday season is a joyful time of year that brings together families and friends. However, it can also be quite stressful – especially for those who have a child with autism. With that in mind, FirstPath Autism http://www.firstpathautism.com would like to offer up tips to help handle everything from holiday party meltdowns to stress that can arise from schedule changes and holiday travels. While compiled for those with an autistic child in their lives, many of the tips work just as well for all families. SCHEDULE CHANGES AND TRAVEL 1. Prepare for changes in home and school routines. The holidays mean that your family’s usual routine shifts, and that causes disruption for everyone, including your child. Much as children may look forward to the season of celebrations, they may not understand that it involves trade-offs too. For example, having a holiday pageant at school may mean that their favorite art class is cancelled for the day. Be sure to discuss these change...

A Very Merry Christmas Prayer

Image
We try to teach our kids to be thankful for everything and anything. This is such a thankless world. A Very Merry Christmas Prayer is just that. It starts out with "Here's My Merry Christmas Prayer" Each page is different things to pray and thank God for. Such cute pictures. Although the pages made me cold, they all have snow on them. Brrrr This 24 page board book is unique in design. The front cover is a bunch of winter dressed animals who are putting up the tree. The right side of the book is cut to look like the side of the tree. So unique. Our little girl loves to rub the design. It is wonderful to teach our children about all the things that God has done. Christmas isn't just about gifts, it's about the birth of Jesus. Enjoy the Wonder of Christmas With A Thankful Heart You can purchase this book from Amazon for $7.06 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718030532?keywords=a%20very%20merry%20christmas%20prayer&pebp=1448028912885&peri...

Stuff4Tots Crib Mattress Pad

Image
This Crib Mattress Pad is super soft. It is nice to be able to protect our crib mattress while keeping our little one comfortable and dry. Our littlest has sensory processing disorder. She is very particular about the sheet material and her blankets. I was a little worried putting this on her crib. I think that she liked the fluffier feel to her mattress. She snuggled in like she was on a pillow. Now when I say this don't expect like a down comforter. But it is a much softer feel. If our little girl takes a sippy cup of water with her to nap and it drips a little, I do not have to worry about her waking up soaked. While being a "fluffy" cover, it does not mean that your child will get to warm. Although with it being winter that might not be so bad. But it is a breathable cotton. 200 thread count and BPA free. Safe for your child to snuggle on top of each night. Very easy to put on. You don't have to do a lot of stretching and huffing. This goes on with...

Large Atomic Radio-controlled Self-setting Clock

Image
Do you have a hard time seeing your clock numbers? This is the perfect clock for you! Large screen and large numbers. Just put the batteries in the clock and it sets itself. No searching for that right time, have to go backwards or forwards because you went to far on the hour. My only problem was that it doesn't have an alarm. It does not claim to, I just did not know clocks came without alarms. Once you get a little older and those eyes begin to get bad, it is nice to find something that you can still read. I am constantly looking at the calendar on my phone to find out the date. With this clock, it is already set. Time change? Not a problem. The clock will catch it and change it for you. Just sit back and let the clock do its job! Want to know the temp of your house? This clock will tell you that too. The bottom of the clock has a pull out stand. Perfect for the nightstand or desk. You can also mount on the wall Operates on 2 aa-size batteries (batteries inc...

Safe Kids All Natural Mosquito Repellent Slap Bracelet

Image
These bracelets are great for keeping those pesky mosquitos away. This bracelet would have been great to have this summer as the little boy that I babysit for was playing outside and he came in completely covered in bites. Not such a bad thing, right? Turns out he was allergic to the mosquito bites. His poor skin welted up and looked like he had a disease. (I will be buying more of these for next summer) When this arrived, the weather had started to cool off but those mosquitos were still out in full force. My kids were able to go outside with the slap bracelet on and come in bug bite free. The girls thought it was great since it is a fashion accessory! Mosquitos can carry so many different germs and diseases. Keeping my kids safe is a main priority. Why not keep your kids safe by purchasing a couple of these for those summer trips. Great for going fishing also. You have a choice between blue, pink, orange, or red. This way boys and girls alike, can stay safe. Safe...

Stuff 4 Tots Bloom Baby Bottle Drying Rack

Image
This is such a unique design. When I opened the box my kids had so much fun just opening and closing the legs. This bottle drying rack is 1 piece. All the legs at fully attached. You can put 12 large bottles, 6 small bottles and nipples. I love that this bottle rack holds children's forks and spoons. I haven't found any others that do. You can also hang dry 6 binkies. The long legs are great for bottles and the short branches are great for nipples and binkies. The lime green and white colors are great for boy or girl. After you are done using, you can collapse back to its original size. Original size is 10.5 inches tall and 3.5 in width. Easy to store. BPA free so safe for your child. Smooth edges so that it stays germ free. To wash, just use hot soapy water or toss in the dishwasher. Do not boil this product. You can purchase this bottle rack for $15.48 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SYW3MQ0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
