boogies

Kara has been teething the past 2 weeks. She's welcoming her 2 year molars and I think its been the hardest on her than all 3 kids. Her gums have been super red and swollen, often times becoming really white due to being so swollen. She's not been sleeping well at night and also has the typical runny nose that inevitably turned into an actual cold because of it all :( 
Which reminds me, I need to buy one of those Amber necklaces for her to wear; hope that helps at least a bit. 


In any case, about a year ago I discovered these wipes and I kept wondering how they worked. Because of the price I never did buy any... but felt tempted many times. 
About a month ago I noticed our 2nd hand store carries them and they're $1.00 cheaper! So the total cost is $2.99 instead of $3.99 - that said, I'm kicking myself now because had I known how well they worked, I would've spent even $5.00 on the package!! These things are fabulous! Within 8 hours of wiping Kara's nose with them, her runny nose was no longer runny, she was able to breathe through it and there's not yucky, chapped red mark on her poor little face. Rachel began showing signs of this cold about 3 days ago, so as her nose got stuffy, I started wiping it with these wipes and I think between that and vitamins, we've kept her cold away! 


So this is my plug for Boogie Wipes. We're fans.

I've never glanced twice at these on the shelf--maybe b/c of the name. I didn't realize they were "medicated" to help the yucks go away. Now I'll have to give them that second look. :-)

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
