MOSQUITOES - INTERESTING

Mosquito Spray... Worth a try... I was at the park today and they were having a party for someone and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man went to his truck and got a spray bottle. He started to spray the tables and chairs and all around the playgroung equipment too. Someone ask what was in that spray bottle the man said it was Listerine Mouth Wash. I cannot believe it in minutes the demons disappeared.

I went to Walmart and bought a bottle of Listerine for $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-Spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. I tried this on my doors (Don't spray directly on a wood door) but spray around the frame. I sprayed around the windows and you can even spray inside a dog house too. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly.


Now these are good Mosquitoes!!!


Give it a try EVERYONE!!!!

DENTEK COMFORT CLEAN FLOSS PICKS REVIEW

I don't really enjoy flossing. We all know that it's good for one's dental hygiene however they never told you about how painful it can be if you have sensitive gums and hard to reach teeth. I've tried traditional floss, floss picks, waterpiking, and so far I have to say this product blows the others out of the water in regards to people with sensitive gums and tight teeth. This product brought out the love of flossing in me. I have to say that with this pick, I can actually tell people that I enjoy flossing.

This floss is good for people with sensitive gums and really tight teeth. I use it everyday and I don't really have any issues. The first thought I had when I slid the floss in between my teeth was how waxy it felt. It just slid through my teeth like a hot knife through butter. Also it lasted for the duration of my flossing (where as the floss in the picks would snap or fray), and I really enjoyed the tongue scraper... you never know how disgusting the human mouth is until you cleaned it out.

Some of the things that I liked about this particular pick was that:

* It had a real waxy coating on the floss that kept it from fraying and snapping.
* The floss pick lasted (great quality in my book if the floss doesn't snap).
* Tongue scraper actually works without causing bleeding and pain.

Well I guess I really can say there is a dental product that I enjoy using.

Visit DenTek to order your Comfort Clean Floss Picks. The DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks (90ct) are $3.29.

RESNACKIT REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

I recently had the opportunity to review ReSnackIt which is a wonderful product. I have to say that I am loving reviewing reusable products that help us help the environment from using them. I am very thankful for these companies that are helping me be more eco-friendly. ReSnackIt has sandwich and snacks reusable bags. These are not only great for kids but adults can use them too. They come in great colors and designs so there is a ResnackIt for everyone. Not only are they better for the environment but they will be way cooler than anyone else's sandwich bag.

I was surprised at how well the ReSnackIt reusable bag held the snacks and food, and how durable it was. The velcro is sized in a longer strip, the ReSnackIt can accommodate even larger sandwiches like a bagel sandwich. It was easy to open and close for the kids which is important.
Washing the ReSnackIt was easy too. Not only can you wash it in the washer, but in the dishwasher as well! If it's not too messy, you can easily wipe it out with a damp cloth. The bag does not need to be air dried. The stitching is very professionally done, and durable. The fold over design and the lining both help the food to retain its moisture.
If we could replace all the baggies that we use, with reusable snack pouches and sandwich bags, imagine how much we could reduce waste and energy consumption! In support of a greener lifestyle and a fabulously "cool" product, Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes gives ReSnackIt a big thumbs up!
Visit ReSnackIt website to learn about the reusable bags and to see all the designs she has to offer. You can purchase ReSnackIt sandwich size bags for $9.99 and the snack size bags for $7.99.
ReSnackIt is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader a ReSnackIt sandwich bag.
MANDATORY: Visit ReSnackIt and tell me which design you would like if you are a winner.

FAIRYTALE WISHES REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

Little kids have great imaginations. I have seen more and more imaginative play with my kids. Along with their imagination comes along the notions of being afraid of the dark, monsters, and more. Fairytale Wishes has a fun line of sprays especially for kids. They have sprays ranging from Sweet Dreams, and Monster Repellent, to Super Hero and Happy Camper.

All of the product at Fairytale Wishes, Inc. were conceived and developed by Mompreneur, Debbie Glickman. After searching for remedies to get her two young children to overcome common anxieties such as sleeplessness, fear of monsters under the bed, separation issues etc., she developed a line of natural aromatherapy sprays that empower children to overcome these fears. Each bottle comes with a mini fairytale written by the Magic Fairytale Wishes Frog, Freddy, which explains why each particular scent will help them overcome their fear.

I love mom inspired companies. I always have, and it's amazing to me what moms are able to come up with. Visit Fairytale Wishes to learn more about Debbie Glickman and how she started this Fairytale Wishes sprays for little children for all ages.

We really enjoyed the sprays that I received for review. My kids really enjoyed the sprays. I think they enjoyed the Monster Repellent the best as they would spray under their beds and in their closet every night before bedtime. They would laugh because they said the little monsters would run away screaming BUBBLEGUM, BUBBLEGUM RUN, RUN!!!! I was laughing so hard and it sure was fun to watch them spray the sprays where they needed it. I think this is a great product for all children.

Here are a little information about her wonderful sprays for little children.
Sweet Dream Spray: The soothing lavender scent will help chase your child's bad dreams away. Just one spray on your child's pillow can reassure them that the "magic" sweet dream spray will help them have great night's sleep!
Monster Repellent Bubblegum Spray: Did you know that Monsters are terrified of bubblegum? It gets in their fur and their tentacles and gets really icky and sticky. The scent alone scares them away! Just spray the bubblegum scented spray anywhere you think a monster or bed bug might lurk and they will keep far away.
Super Hero Spray: This energetic scent will help your child when they need a little extra courage. First day of school, going to the doctor, hospital visits, going to a friend's house for the first time, and etc... Just give your child's shirt a little spritz with the "magic" Superhero spray and your child will have courage for the whole day.
Happy Camper Spray: Going away from home can be really scary for kids of all ages. Send them to camp with our grape jelly scented spray. This sweet scent will help make them less homesick and they can spray it on their pillow when they need a little dose of "home".
Giving Kids A Happily Ever After!!!!
Debbie at Fairytale Wishes is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader to win one spray of their choice and also a note from Freddy the Frog with your child's name.

RECIPE FOR CAJUN TURTLE

WOW! Only in Louisiana!!! OK! I am from Louisiana and this is some kind of things we do down here in the south. Now here's a new one to try. Here's a new twist on how to serve turtles.

Recipe homemade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave, then the next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs with slits for toes and tail.

Next step. Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy.

That's the Louisiana style! Give it a try sometime.

ZUBBLES REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

My daughter loves bubbles! Zubbles are the first colored bubbles. Zubbles come in two colors Presto Pink and Blazing Blue. These colorful bubbles have come out in vibrant colors and the ink disappears on contact. It is non-staining and non-toxic, just want every mom wants to hear! I received a sample of the Presto Pink bubbles. When I opened the bottle for my daughter to go outside and play with the bubbles there was a dark ink looking liquid inside. I was a little worry about this getting on her clothes.

Brielle went outside to blow her bubbles and she wanted to see the color also. She blew a bubble and was so excited to see that it had a nice color and she got some of the bubble liquid on her shirt. The bubble liquid disappeared on her shirt quickly. I was amazed.
I liked that Brielle got to enjoy the Zubbles bubbles and the vibrant color, and it didn't leave no colored residue behind. This is a truly fun product that would make a great birthday favor, summer activity, or present.
I thought the Zubbles were very cool. I know my daughter enjoyed them and so did I. Some wands cause a soapy mess on the end of the wand where you hold it, and I was happy to not have a mess to deal with. I also liked that Zubbles had an easy handle on the wand. This is a great summer activity for any kid to enjoy! I was really pleased with the color and the lack of stains.
Visit Zubbles website to learn more about this product and to purchase Zubbles colored bubbles.
Zubbles is offering one Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader a chance to win 1 bottle of Presto Pink and 1 bottle of Blazing Blue.
MANDATORY: Tell me why you would like to try the Zubbles bubbles?

CYSTEX LIQUID CRANBERRY COMPLEX REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

New Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex Helps Prevent UTI's with Patented Proantinox Formula. I was really taken by surprise at the almost pleasant taste of Cystex. I have been taking the recommended dose of 1 Tablespoon daily for a while now and I haven't had any UTI's or even symptoms of UTI's. I couldn't believe when I read that 1 Tbsp of Cystex is equal to 8 glasses of cranberry juice!! I think taking Cystex daily to prevent recurring UTI's is definitely better than the alternative of frequent doctor visits and fees and prescription antibiotics.

Cranberries have long played a role in helping many women, particulary those with recurring urinary tract infections (UTI's), to promote better bladder health. In fact, some 50 percent of women report drinking a lot of cranberry juice when they suspect they have a UTI, according to a survey conducted for Cystex. But drinking eight glasses of cranberry juice is not enjoyable or tolerable, and can be loaded with sugar and calories. A clinically-proven alternative is just one tablespoon of new Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex with Proantinox taken daily to promote urinary tract health, which can benefit millions of women most susceptible to recurring, painful urinary tract infections.

Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex is backed up by a new study being published in the journal Urology, which shows 91% of women taking daily Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex with Proantinox remained free of recurring UTI's. In addition, Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex:
* Provides 17 times more proanthocyanidins (PACs) than cranberry tablets
* Is lactose gluten and sugar free
* Is only one calorie per tablespoon

For more information on preventing and managing UTI's is available at http://www.cystex.com/.


One lucky Mother of 1 Princess and 2 Princes reader will win a bottle of Cystex Liquid Cranberry Complex.

MANDATORY: Tell me who in your household suffers from UTI's.

2-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN HOSPITAL WITH APPARENT DRUG OVERDOSE MOM ARRESTED

A two-year-old girl is in the hospital after apparently ingesting part of her mother's narcotic pills, officials said Tuesday.

The two-year-old is currently at Children's Hospital after being transferred from the St. Bernard Health Clinic. She was listed as in serious condition as of 9 a.m. Tuesday said the Sheriff's office. As of Wednesday morning, the child is in intensive care at Children's Hospital in New Orleans for further observation.

The girl's mother 22-year old had several types of narcotic pills in her home: the painkiller Vicodin, the muscle-relaxer SOMA, and Suboxin, a drug used for treating heroin addiction. The Sheriff's office said no prescriptions were found for those drugs, which are often illegally distributed, in the home.

The two-year-old mother was arrested on a warrant issued by a judge charging her with improper supervision of a child and three counts of possession of prescription pills found in her home on Tuesday, according to police. She was arrested Wednesday and sent to jail.

The mother had dropped the two-year-old off at a day-care center earlier in the day, but counselors saw she was lethargic and seemed to be suffering from health problems. They called the mother but she was unable to pick the child up, so the grandmother arrived and brought her to the health center.

The mother was treated and released from University Hospital in New Orleans on July 20th after the agents found her in her home having a medical problem involving a possible drug overdose, said the Sheriff office.

Here is the picture of the mother. Boy, does she really look concern about her two-year-old.


I guess she couldn't pick up her child because she was too busy being "treating and released" at University for her own OVERDOSE. Explains the lack of irises in her eyes! Too bad she didn't OVERDOSE on ProActive Acne Solutions and Prell! First and foremost I pray that this child survives with no long term effects from this. As far as this so called mother is concerned, first someone needs to literally knock that useless expression off her face. I am very upset about this because this women lives in my community.

A NICE EVENING WALK

Me and the kids went for a nice walk today at the Chalmette Battlefield. It was a nice cloudy breezy day. We walked the whole Chalmette Battlefield and sat on a bench and enjoyed the nice breeze in the afternoon and ate a nice cold snowball. I guess you can say we got our nice exercise at the same time too. I love walking in the afternoon when it is not as hot and it has a nicer breeze too.

We were ready to leave and we walked around the trail to go back to the car and look what we came upon a duck's nest. My daughter was walking closer to the pond and found it. Look at all those eggs. We just looked at them and then kept walking. We had a nice summer walk at the Chalmette Battlefield.

Brielle has dropped it, turned it upside down, shook it and nothing comes out. It is an awesome product and the size is awesome too. It holds so much in it. This Munchie Mug will be great to bring with us on vacation this summer. I love that it is plastic and the lid screws on tight so that if they drop it, it doesn't matter. It's not going to break or get crumbs all over anything!
Munchie Mug Features:
*Secure Screw-On Top with Easy Grip Handle
*Soft Fabric Closure for sensitive little hands
*Easy To Clean: Top Rack Dishwasher Safe
*Great For Healthy Snacking: Cereals, Dried Fruits, Crackers, etc.
*Additional Stay-Fresh Lid included for keeping snacks fresh when mug is not in use.
*Economically Friendly: Made in the United States of America.
*Child Friendly: Made of all FDA food grade compliant materials.
*Environmentally Friendly: Made of 100% recyclable materials & eliminates waste created by plastic snack baggies that are used once and thrown away. Use the Munchie Mug, again, again, and again!!!
How it is used:
Unscrew the lid and put in the snack. Cloth opening actually remains closed at all times, that is, until the child wants a snack. When hungry, the child easily and comfortably puts their entire hand through the soft non-scratchy opening and grabs the snack. Then the hand is freely withdrawn through the opening with the hand holding the snack. When the hand, is removed, the cloth opening closes by itself. A solid stay fresh lid is also supplied in order to keep the snack fresh when the Mug is not in use.
You can purchase the Munchie Mug on their website for $15.95 and you can choose from Pink, Blue or Yellow. Price includes shipping and handling to anywhere in the USA.

TIME TIMER GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

The Time Timer is a simple product that can be used in SO many different ways. It is simply a timer. That is it. But what makes it different is that it shows the time left in red. Some reasons that might be good:

*Someone who is visually impaired might be able to see this when they can't see a smaller timer.
*A very young child who can't tell time yet... can get a visual idea of how much time is left.
*A classroom of children.
*A car full of kids wanting to know.. "Are we there yet?"
*When you are exercising, reading or doing chores that you need a timer on for. So many great uses.

Use the Time Timer in the classroom to:

*Teach the concept of time.
*Train students to use time wisely.
*Track the duration of activities.

Designed to help students understand, "how much longer" no other teaching aid reinforces the concept of elapsed time like the teacher-tested Time Timer. The disappearing red disk allows students to "see" time without knowing how to "tell" time.
