When I get stressed, I get canker sores. It’s been that way since I was a child.   It’s brings me to the “OMG, Sweet Baby Jesus” mode that often includes tears.  Seriously, it hurts to eat, drink and talk because I don’t get one canker sore,  I usually get 5 or 6…and they are huge.  TMI, I know. I jumped at the chance to try Canker Cover! Canker Cover is the only over-the-counter canker sore treatment shown in clinical studies to significantly speed treatment.  The pill shaped patch adheres to the sore and forms a gel patch that protect the sore, relieves the pain and speeds treatment.  In two separtate clincal studies, Canker Cover was shown to heal... [more]

I know I have dry lips…it’s the time of year where everything is incredibly dry.  My hair stands on end, my lips peel and my hands are cracked.  I’m used to it…but that doesn’t mean I like it.  Recently, I took the Neosporin 3-Day Challenge provided by Mom Central.

Recently, I had the chance to try out the newest from Rockabye Baby, lullaby renditions of Guns N’ Roses. Yes, you heard it right, lullaby renditions of Guns N’ Roses.  It’s quickly become a favorite of our to enjoy.  I’ve introduced the Rockabye Baby music to Paige at bath time, and it’s become routine.  Calming and gentle, these instrumental lullabies provide a sense of serenity for bath time.  Brand is the big Guns N’ Roses fan, well a fan of anything hard rock.  I believe in exposing my children to all different kinds of music, it is a form of art and it’s important to have an appreciation for it! Also important to note, Rockabye Baby goes the... [more]

Ironically enough, before I knew about this campaign, I had bought a bottle of Suave Kids No More Tangles for Paige…and our love affair with Suave started all over again.  Then, I heard about the Suave Kids “Wash Them Grow” program.  The package arrived last night and Paige couldn’t wait for bath time!  We received the Strawberry Body Wash, Berry Body Wash, Free and Gentle Body Wash and perhaps my favorite the Moisturizing Body Wash.  I like the Suave Kids because it’s perfect for both kids to use.  Suave Kids products are perfect for babies, on up to the independent child: Nurture Your Baby’s Firsts – While enjoying all your baby’s firsts,... [more]

I love candles and smellies (ahem, good smellies) in the house.  What I don’t love is the black soot that comes from the candles.  Perhaps something is wrong with my house, but I’ve had several brands of candles fill my front room with soot and smoke, to the point that the smoke detector goes off.  I’m left with sooty walls and furniture/toys/floors that must be washed. I’m no longer worried about a soot filled room with Scentsy.  Scentsy is a wickless candle system.  Using a warmer heated by a light bulb, bars of wax are heated releasing their delicious scents. Amazingly enough, Scentsy is a rather new company…yet it’s grown so fast.  Having celebrated... [more]

I’ve found a scrumptious site that I have to share!  It’s a great little place known as The Tots. Founded by a stay at home mom, The Tots is dedicated to bringing unique gifts for both babies and toddlers.  From the handmade to the trusted brands.  You will love what you’ll find.

See that button on the on the right, the one about the Itzy Bitzy shoes?  There’s a story behind it. Back in December, I bought Paige these shoes: Not from the Itzy Bitzy Store, but that’s irrelevant.  What I was thinking…I don’t know, because I ordered them 2 sizes too big.  Yeah.  That’s a problem…but Paige doesn’t care!  She loves these shoes and wears them everywhere.  Even though they are two sizes to big!  They are squeaky shoes…so I can always hear her.  You wouldn’t believe how many people compliment her shoes.  Which Paige totally eats up.  At the young age of 29 months, that girl has a passion for shoes.  She knows what... [more]

Being that it’s National Fiber Focus Month, Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies fit right in! That’s right, I have yet another way to get fiber in to my little lady.  And it’s so easy! Paige loves her Fiber Gummies!  I love them because: 1.5 grams of fiber per gummy Sugar-free, zero calories Great tasting, all natural fruit flavors NOT  a laxative Often times Paige will have some sort of fruit snacks during the day.  She likes them in a mug and it’s easy for me to toss in several Fiber Gummies.  With their fun penguin shape, Paige doesn’t even notice the difference.  The Fiber Gummies are dentist approved too. I’ll admit, Paige loves her veggies…but there... [more]

Lego’s and Norah Jones.  It’s probably not a combination you’d associate with each other.  Back in November Norah Jones released a new album, The Fall. Included on that album is the song Chasing Pirates. It’s a song that has stuck with me…and the video is pretty darn creative, of course being a fan of NYC, you can see why!  You can find Chasing Pirates here on Seeryus Mama and on the Norah Jones Hulu Channel.  Norah Jones and Lego’s have teamed up to promote her new album, The Fall and Chasing Pirates…which means an incredible giveaway for you!
