WTH ?!!!

I just read this story about a pediatrician charged with doing a bunch of bad stuff to kids some of them only a few months old.........I have never ever left my child alone with a doctor ...not that I was worried about them doing something but because I always want to hear everything they are saying so I know everything!

Please Please Please....never let your young child go in a room where someone is going to be looking at them or touching them in any way.....alone !

WTH ?!!!

I just read this story about a pregnant woman in the Olympics on the curling team...no big deal really since it's nothing dangerous other then how fast her heart gets beating doing the sweep thing and maybe the risk of falling on the ice is a little risky but not that bad.

However near the bottom of the story you see she isn't the first pregnant woman to compete in the Olympics and Holy Crap what the other two were doing is scary and made me say WTH why would you risk your baby flying down the mountain on your belly at 80-100 miles an hour .....CRAZY ! Even the other girl doing skating well there are lots of jumps and things going on where you can fall...I just don't get it yeah I guess it's the Olympics and not very many people have the chance to be in them or win medals in them but to me my baby's safety is more important then some stupid little medal ...but that's just me.

I have been having leg pains for years to the point that sometimes if i don't get them rubbed it makes the difference between laying in bed all day or getting up and doing things all day. the difference could be just a leg rub between those 2 types of days. February 20, 2010 11:14 PM

Futuro Compression Hosiery (Giveaway)

I recently had a chance to try out a pair of these and I have to say they did feel a lot better then just normal pantyhose. I don't wear them all that much but I thought since I'm pregnant and my legs have been really bothering me lately I'd give them a try to see if they helped.

I did find when I was wearing them my legs didn't seem as sore as when I wasn't so,I would say they did help me. I'm not going to say I know they will help you because I don't know... I can just say they felt good on my legs when I wore them and I would recommend them to anyone that suffers from leg pains to try and see if maybe they would help them too.

What is unique about FUTURO is that they look just like traditional hosiery - check out the Energizing line for her and the Restoring dress socks for him. However, because they feature graduated compression, they have a wide-range of health benefits making them perfect for:

· Relieving tired, achy legs with a massaging action as you move
· Being on your feet or sitting in one place all day, to keep your legs feeling energized - like at work or long-distance travel
· Relieving spider or varicose veins, leg fatigue, swelling, pain or other related symptoms impacting the legs
· Improved circulation, which is especially important during pregnancy or for those with diabetes

**I was given a sample to try for free to do my review and did not get any other kind of compensation to give my opinion of this product**

The company was also nice enough to offer some products for giveaway . 3 winners will each get 3 products from the Energizing Collection to try for themselves .

All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me why you would like to give them a try .

Extra entries : Follow my blog , Grab my button , Blog or tweet about this contest . Leave a separate comment for each thing that you did .
Remember to leave your email so I have a way of contacting you if you are one of my winners.

Contest will end February 21,2010 at midnight .

SafetyTat Review (Giveaway)



SafetyTats are a great product to use if you have small children,you just stick one on them write your number on there and go. That way if for any reason they somehow get separated from you they will have a number on them at all times that someone can use to call you. I liked them because they don't rub off and are water proof and won't come off until you wash them off yourself. I have seen other products you can get geared at helping people locate a lost child's parents but they are things that can fall off or get dropped and lost before an adult ever comes along and finds your child in the first place...bottom line these won't do that !

Since I'm going to have three little kids under the age of three by this summer, I'm going to be getting some of these. I was given a pack to try out for the review but I will be buying them for future use . Anytime we need to go somewhere with all three little ones once they are all walking we won't be going out in public unless they each are wearing one ! Better to be safe then sorry ! I would highly recommend these to anyone that will be going out in public with small children,you can write your name and number on there and if I had a child that was allergic to anything I would write that on there too,just to be on the safe side. They come in packs for girls or boys or mixed if you have some of each.

Not only am I talking about these,but I'm also giving some away !

Two of my readers can get a sample pack of their own in their choice of boy,girl or multi design pack . Plus you can use this code IHateWhine to get 10% off any order of $15 or more from now until February 24,2010 .

All you have to do to be entered for a free pack is leave a comment telling me what style you would pick if you won.

Extra entries: 1 for each that you do

Follow my blog , Grab my button , blog or tweet about this giveaway and tell me in a separate comment for each that you do.

Put An Extra Little Spark In It ! (Giveaway)


I was recently contacted about doing a giveaway for Valentines,however I didn't receive the products in time to review them and do a post /giveaway in time for the winner to actually get it in time for Valentine's day. Then I got thinking about most of the people that come to my blog and they are for the most part moms like me and that being said ....how many people once they become wives and mothers actually go somewhere romantic for Valentine's Day....almost none that's how many !
Once you are a mom your time is mostly spent on housework and babies and kids and every once in awhile you get a night alone with the hubby...so I thought I'm going to do this giveaway for anytime that you and your man get a moment alone whenever that may be .
Rembrandt whitening products are great and easy to use and the best part is they are a lot cheaper then going to the dentist to have your teeth whitened and really who has time for that? It's hard enough making the time to go there when you really have to !
REMBRANDT® 2 Hour Whitening Kit – clinically shown to visibly whiten teeth in just two hours with the same enamel-safe ingredients used by dentists.
REMBRANDT® Plus Peroxide Whitening Mouthwash, the ONLY mouthwash proven to visibly whiten and actively restore and strengthen tooth enamel. Also try the INTENSE STAIN™ toothpaste to remove deep stains from teeth like those caused by your favorite wine or coffee.
Now on to the fun stuff...
K-Y is a well known and trusted brand that has been around for years,heck when I had my first three babies a sample pack of K-Y gel was in the bag of goodies they sent you home with ! It's a safe way to add that extra little something when you need it . Now with their new products you and your partner can really heat things up in those moments when the kids are sleeping or out of the house !
K-Y® Brand YOURS + MINE™, the first intimacy enhancing product for couples – a gift for him and her! This dual-sensation product helps take your intimate experience to a whole new level.
K-Y® Brand INTENSE™, a revolutionary female arousal gel clinically shown to enhance intimate satisfaction.
I just happened to be baby free on Friday night and Saturday all day so.....let's just say now that my morning sickness has gone away ...well another bunch of hormones have kicked into high gear and we tried out these products a few times! My husband said he could instantly feel a tingling sensation the minute he came in contact with the men's and I did feel a tingly type feeling as well when I tried out the women's. I tried the Intense one as well and I didn't think I felt anything different at the time of "whoohoo" however my husband said he noticed it happened a lot faster ....I guess I didn't pay attention to timing..haha !
** As always I was given these products free to try out for this review and I did not get any other kind of compensation for doing this review **
On to the giveaway..... One lucky winner will get one of each of the products in this post to try on their own and with their partner ! All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me what you usually do for your special night alone with your man .
We usually get take out and watch a movie ...exciting ...I know !

Healthy Mouth Happy Mouth ! (Giveaway)

I recently did a post where I mentioned I get a cold sore once or twice a year and so does one of my daughters. We both have since we were little , they are awful and always seem to happen when something is going on and people want to take pictures. I am not one that likes my picture taken anyway and I really do not want to be in one if I have a cold sore on my face...who would ?

**I was contacted and asked if I would like to review a few products that help in getting rid of cold sores and a couple other things that go on inside your mouth. So I said yes and was sent three products to review,other then the products I'm given to review for free I do not get paid any other compensation. For anyone wondering how reviews work ,this is how all my reviews are I have never been paid and when a company gives you a gift certificate it is almost always to a site that does charity type things so really you are not getting money yourself ...it goes towards something like that. **

Now on to the real topic of Healthy Mouth Happy Mouth ! I'm a firm believer in doing everything safe and possible to take care of your teeth,gums and mouth in general . A big part of this is I'm scared of the dentist and have been since I was little. Now that I'm an adult and have to pay the bills from the dentist ...well that scares me too ! So whenever I hear of products to help you out with different problems that occur within your mouth I like to try them out.

Cold sores are painful, unsightly blisters that form on the lips or just outside the mouth as a result of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1). While many people may carry this virus (it lies dormant in some), upwards of 60 million people get cold sores annually as a result. Cold sores can last for up to two weeks, in some cases, and are very contagious. The virus can be spread through kissing, touching, sharing cups and utensils, towels, etc. Cold sores can be triggered by sunlight, arginine rich foods, fever, illness, stress, food allergies and hormonal changes. In addition to being embarrassing for sufferers, cold sores are often very painful, causing itching, burning and other discomfort.

LIP CLEAR’s unique combination of natural ingredients provides immediate relief from symptomatic burning, itching and tingling upon application. LIP CLEAR Lysine+ is all-natural, has a non-chemical flavor, goes on clear, can be worn under lipstick and doesn’t burn on application. It provides immediate soothing relief of burning and itching.

Suggested retail price is $6.99 for a 7-gram tube; available at drug stores, supermarkets and health food stores nationwide, and online at http://www.lipclear.com/. The makers of Lip Clear Lysine+ are also offering a limited edition of $2 coupons click here to get yours.

Now I don't get canker sores that often but I know lots of people do and they can be very painful mostly when you are trying to eat. My daughters have both had braces and my son is getting them and people that wear them tend to get them,from the metal rubbing on the inside of their cheeks and lips and I have listened to my daughters complain enough that I was thrilled to hear about this product...so I'll be making sure my son has them right from the start so when he feels the canker sore in his mouth we will be able to doctor it up as soon as possible.

Canker sores are painful blisters that form on the inside of the mouth, cheeks, and inner lips, as well as on the tongue, affecting 56 million people annually. If left untreated, they can last from seven to 21 days, causing pain each time you eat, drink, chew, or move your mouth. While nobody knows for sure what causes canker sores, possibilities include increased stress, lower immunity, trauma (e.g. cheek bites, irritation from braces, etc.), vitamin B12 or iron deficiencies, hormonal changes or food allergies.

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 protects the sore, relieves the pain, and speeds treatment. In two separate clinical studies, Canker Cover was shown to heal most canker sores within 24 hours and to be more effective than benzocaine, the active ingredient in most canker sores products, at eliminating pain. No other canker sore products in the world have shown this result.

Suggested retail price is $9.99 for a box of six patches; available at drug stores, supermarkets and health food stores nationwide, and online at http://www.cankercover.com/. The makers of Canker Cover are also offering a limited edition of $2 coupons click here to get yours.

Now I'm sure for any of you moms out there that have gone through labor ,will totally get what I'm about to talk about. I have had 5 babies and number six is on their way and I delivered everyone of them natural and drug free ...that always equals many hours of painful labor and many hours of breathing getting a very dry mouth and cracked lips. Sometimes you can drink to take the dry mouth feel away and other times you just don't even feel like you can be it you don't have the energy or drinking anything makes you feel sick.

So when I heard about this product,I thought great....I want to try that when I'm in labor with this new baby and maybe after hours and hours of labor ...I won't end up with a dried out mouth and throat for a few days afterwards .

Dry mouth (xerostomia) is an under-diagnosed condition that affects 10% of the U.S. population, and can have a severe effect on oral health, causing tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath due to lack of oral moisture. Dry mouth is a symptom of several medical conditions, such as Sjogren’s Syndrome and diabetes, for example, and is a common side effect of many prescription and over-the-counter medications. In fact, people taking three or more medications have a 60% chance of suffering from dry mouth, making this a more common occurrence in mature adults.

OraMoist Dry Mouth Patch is a revolutionary, time-released, muco-adhesive patch powered by edible natural ingredients that adheres to the roof of the mouth or inside the cheek. As the patch dissolves over two to four hours, it releases ingredients that help increase saliva production alleviating parched, dry mouth. The increased moisture also helps restore a healthy oral environment, a significant benefit for dry mouth sufferers.

OraMoist Dry Mouth Patch has been clinically proven effective in terms of increased saliva production and improved feeling of moistness. Suggested retail price is $9.99 for a box of 16 patches; available at Rite Aid, Albertson’s LLC and Raley’s, and online at http://www.oramoist.com/. The makers of OraMoist are also offering a limited edition of $3 coupons, good at Rite Aid click here to get yours.

Now the best part is one lucky reader can win one of each of these three products,all you have to do is leave me a comment telling me who you would like to have them for .....that's it !
