GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

We were so excited to announce the news recently that we are expecting our third child. My excited anticipation was tempered, however, when mere moments after our announcement I was overtaken by a wave of nausea that has continued for the last 12 weeks. With my first two children I did have moments of morning sickness (usually around 7 pm) but felt great for most of the day. This pregnancy has been a completely different story. I have literally been confined to my bed or the couch for the last three months only to begin feeling a bit of relief in the last week.

In my desperation I tried many, many remedies to help ease the constant discomfort- most suggested by friends who had tons of advice (usually taken from their mothers or grandmothers) about how to rid yourself of morning sickness. I have tried everything from ginger tablets, to pineapple juice and from drinking a gallon of water a day to eating spoonfuls of mustard. Unfortunately none of these remedies did anything for my nausea (except in some cases make it much worse).

One day an unexpected box arrived on my front porch containing three small boxes labeled Morning Sickness Soothers. By that point I was desperate for an answer so I decided to give these little guys a look. Morning Sickness Soothers are a soft, flexible piece containing natural essential oils that slips discreetly and comfortably into your nose. The idea is that the gentle smells can help ease the morning sickness that plagues many women.

I researched these little gems and decided after much review to give them a try. I have to say that in the short time that I used the first one I did feel a bit of a change. It didn’t relieve my discomfort completely (I am not sure that anything other than birth will do that) but it did give me a time of relief. It allowed me to be able to walk about without the constant need to rest and I truly felt rejuvenated in a way I hadn’t for all those weeks.

I love that Morning Sickness Soothers are all natural and drug free. They contain only one ingredient and that is flavored essential oils. There is no discomfort while wearing them and they truly are very discreet. I would recommend these to anyone struggling with difficult morning sickness or anyone who is sensitive to certain smells. I believe these would also be great during travel as often planes, trains and buses contain foul odors and these would be a great relief in those circumstances.

About Morning Sickness Soothers:

Morning Sickness Soothers… Soothing Relief With Every Breath!
If you are pregnant and suffering from morning sickness, nausea or sensitivity to smells you are not alone.

Finally there’s an answer! Introducing Morning Sickness Soothers, a revolutionary product that will amaze you…

This time, my boys reviewed the “Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure” DVD. So, it was natural that they told me, what it was all about and whether or not they liked it.

According to them, Handy Manny and his tools plans to go on a road trip back for a family reunion. But, Pat the Hammer, decides to go on a search for his own family, and as a result, Handy Manny and the rest of the tools, take a detour to look for Pat, Squeeze and Flicker, and goes through a great adventure. As they cruise along the trip, they make pit stops, helping out everyone along the way, fixing and mending things, AND gets helped in return!

They find Pat, Squeeze and Flicker at the end, and Handy Manny gets to reunite with his family.

Buy It! : My boys loved it. Then again, they’ve been fans of Handy Manny for a long time, and always loved fixing things. There’s always the singing, which is highly entertaining, and of course, adventure! Lots of it in this full-length movie! I thought it was great because it emphasized the importance of family, and the support and unconditional love we get from family. When Pat couldn’t locate his family of hammers, the other tools rally around and reassure him that they are all his family. Personally to me, this was really cool, because I feel that we don’t have to born into a family, to be a family. This DVD is set to be released on April 6th 2011, in Australia.

Win It! : One lucky reader will get a chance to win the “Handy Manny Motorcycle Adventure DVD” and here’s how :

So- I have to admit I am not the most technologically advanced Mama on the block.  In fact, I had a flip phone until just a few weeks ago.  Imagine my surprise when my sweet husband brought home an actual smart phone for me- one that has internet, email, and so many apps it makes my head spin.  I have always considered myself one of the smarter people on the planet- at least until I tried to use a “smart phone”.  They have a way of bringing you down a few notches on the smart scale!!

I do, however, have an iPod that my husband bought me for Christmas a year ago…it’s actually funny- I say I have an iPod when what I actually mean is that my two children have MY iPod.  They use it so much more than I do and it is a bit embarrassing when your young children have to explain to you how to use an iPod.

One of my children’s favorite things to do on my iPod is to watch Netflix movies while waiting in various places- doctor offices, post office, bank, etc.  They would often complain that one couldn’t see well or that their hands and necks were hurting from bending over the little movie screen.  Lucky for us there are some REALLY smart people in the technology world who heard our cries of pain and have come out with a great little accessory for the iPod, iPhone and iPad called the iChair.

The iChair is a great dual layer, soft shell case for any of your iDevices that turns them from a handheld into a freestanding device with just a quick flip.  It allows for hands free viewing in both landscape and portrait modes allowing for much more enjoyable use in watching movies, reading books, etc.

It has completely solved our problems with viewing for my two children as well as the neck and arm pain that goes along with holding a traditional handheld device.  In fact, the only problem now is the squabbles about who gets to set up the iChair feature of our iPod.

About the iChair:

Founded in 2010, iChair is the creation of a few crafty individuals who saw the need for a stand on their Apple devices. The passion that Apple consumers have for their devices inspires us here at iChair to design and develop revolutionary products that can change the way we all use our mobile devices.

In designing iChair, we kept simplicity and functionality at the forefront of our strategy. Utilizing the highest quality materials, locking mechanisms and advanced manufacturing techniques, we produced a product that provides ultimate functionality, sleek looks and is sure to be a case your iDevice can’t live without!

Features include:

• Stylish cases with integrated stands provide ultimate utility to iDevice users on-the-go
• Rubber-coated, matte finish produces a velvety feel
• Integrated pull-out stands contribute to the ultra slim profile design
• Cases come standard in black with an additional top slider case in either white or blue
• Screen protector, dust cloth and squeegee board included with all cases (iPhone 4 cases include front and rear screen protectors)
• Cases available for iPhone 4, iPhone 3G/S and iPod Touch

Buy it: The iChair has designs for the iPod touch, iPhone 3 & 4, and the iPad.  It can be purchased on the iChair website.

Win It: The wonderful developers of the iChair have generously donated one unit of iChair  to one of our lucky readers.  To enter:

• One Mandatory Entry- visit the iChair website and let us know which design and color you would prefer if you were the winner.
• Two Additional Entries- follow us on twitter and tweet this giveaway.  Be sure to leave a comment including your twitter id and the tweet url.
• Five Additional Entries- leave us a comment letting us know which of our parenting articles have been most helpful to you.
