Thank you Dr. Sears for Saving my Life...

Ok... The title may be a little dramatic... but any mom would appreciate this story.

Picture this... It's 3:00 in the morning and DS#1 wakes up with 101.3. You have one dose of Tylenol left and he takes it.

Phew... No problem, you can go to CVS tomorrow morning.

Now... It's 3:15 and DS#2 wakes up with 102.

What do you do?

Did I add that there is a snowstorm going strong and the roads are iced?

All that you find in your cabinet is Motrin Infant Drops.

....Add here your choice of freak out.....

Wait, no need to put on those snow boots yet... check out what Dr. Sears says to do.

This website is filled with information. I went straight to the medicine cabinet and looked up Motrin.

Did you know that 1 tsp (5ml) of children's liquid and ½ tsp (2.5 ml) of infant drops both contain 100mg of Ibuprofen? If you run out of one form, the other can be substituted.
(Please refer with Dr. Sears' site before you administer this.)

This saved my life last night!

Well now it's 1:00 and all is well in the Groovy household. I will run to CVS later to restock on the kiddies' medicines and will enjoy some "mommy time" when the boys are home with dad.

One more problematic situation diverted by the good ole' internet... how did we (and our mothers) survive without it!

"Hers-Day" Review and Giveaway!

My little peanut has be screaming since the minute she woke up. Poor baby is teething and miserable! I totally get it, but Mommy needs a break. Today I need to take a few minutes for myself, cuz it's gonna be a LOONG day. So as the "princess" sleeps, I am going to take a scream-free shower. This is what I use to spoil myself a little. I love this stuff! It has a mild and fresh scent and leaves my skin silky smooth. It lathers up nicely and is easy to shave with. I have used this since high school. Sometimes the smell helps me forget for a few minutes that I am a 30-something with kids (that is until someone knocks at the door to tell on his brother!). For my second giveaway, I would like share Neutrogena Rain Bath with one of my readers. Let's pretend we are back in high school together! :) &amp;lt;a href="http://rafl.es/enable-js"&amp;gt;You need javascript enabled to see this giveaway&amp;lt;/a&amp...

Review and Giveaway- Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Let's just get this clear. I have NO talent when it comes to anything cosmetic. I can't apply eyeshadow, I look stupid in lipstick, and cannot paint my nails without smudging. So you can believe how excited I was when I found Sally Hansen Salon Effects in my local drugstore. The Salon Effects are essentially stickers, although SH calls then "polish strips". They vary in color, and designs. Some are basic and others are WILD. I have tried Wild Child (a zebra-like print) and It Girl (solid pinkish color). For this review, I applied Bling It On to my toes. You know I must really love you guys to post pictures of my feet! Each box of Salon Effects comes with 16 Nail Polish Strips (in case you make a mistake), a cuticle stick, and a double sided nail file and buffer. 1. I prepped my toes by filing, shaping, and wiping them with nail polish remover . 2. I took off the clear protective cover and pulled the polish ...

Back to school

Do you remember how you felt the first day of school? I was always excited, but really nervous. Who is my teacher? Is she nice? Do I have friends in class with me? This morning I watched my older children start school. Again I had the same feelings. Who are their teachers? Will they be nice? Will they take the time to understand my children. Will my boys make new friends? I anxiously awaited their return today. I could not wait to hear about their day. Can you guess what response I got? "It was good." That's it! After all that worrying and anxious energy I exerted, all I got what that school was "good" and "can I have a snack?" Gotta love kids! Hopefully they will not grow up to be a worry wart like their mom.
