Do you hate mosquitoes — I know I do…. every summer they are the WORST! With the biting, the scratching, itching, the giant welt.
DynaTrap uses cutting edge technology to eliminate mosquitos and other flying insects without the use of chemicals or propane, providing relief from bugs.
Sprays, mists, candles have all kind of worked, but mostly failed. So I’m excited to hear from many friends that have used DynaTrap it works because the technology it uses works! Seriously, it’s a real game it catches everything!

DynaTrap Twitter Party on Sunday, March 12 at 3pm ET
If this is your first baby prepping is fairly common but if your on your second or third or fourth child you kind of know the drill of sleepless nights. The one common thing with newborns is that every doctor asks how much milk is the baby taking in… which usually you just blink at the doctor saying huh what?! I’m barely awake at feedings and now you want me to measure out how much they consume. Which is always meet by a Yup that would be great.
Well thanks to the smart people who created BlueSmart mia a smart sleeve for baby bottles. Allowing you now to make any bottle a smart bottle… giving you a wealth of knowledge that you can share with the Doctor.
If having a perfect record keeper for all the bottle feedings isnt enough, the BlueSmart mia will alert you to temperature of the milk/formula. You cant imagine how many times a half asleep parent forgot to warm the bottle or worst OVER warmed the bottle.
Just another wonderful little helper that you wont have to be jumping for pens and paper right after feeding. Really the last thing you need is another thing to try to remember to do at 3:45am.
Lets talk about the key features of BlueSmart mia.
Real time monitoring
Temperature monitoring
Tracking patterns
journaling feature that allows you to note important milestones in the app
When I was asked by the Acetaminophen Awareness Coalition’s Know Your Dose campaign to write an article on knowing how much medicine to give your child, I of course said yes. Who hasn’t been there with a sick child that just is eating you up on the inside that there really isn’t anything you could do to help them at the moment. It’s brutal. Sometimes as parents we say they can just tough it out. Other times we start to look in the medicine cabinet for what might make them better. I know more often than not for our first child it was certainly the tough it out, but as we had more children I see we’re quick to grab the medicine. That’s in large part due to knowing what medicine to use when and the dosing around that medicine.
Some of us may fear accidentally exceeding the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen and creating an overdose issue. This sometimes happens because many people don’t realize there are over 600 over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications that contain acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is safe and effective when it is used as directed (even your pharmacists can help give you advice, if they’re your regular and know what medicines your children are taking), but there is a limit on how much you can take in one day.
You can easily check out the Know Your Dose website, which has tips for how to use medicines with acetaminophen safely. There is a list of all the different medicines with acetaminophen with information on keeping your family safe.
Take only one medicine at a time that contains acetaminophen. Double check, don’t double up!
Ask your healthcare provider or a pharmacist if you have questions about dosing instructions or medicines that contain acetaminophen.
Just as an FYI, the US FDA has set a maximum daily dose of 4,000 milligrams of acetaminophen in a 24-hour period, and taking more than directed can lead to liver damage, so really be sure to visit KnowYourDose.org for more information.

I know… a CRAFT you say… really?! Adam, in all our time together you’ve rarely crafted… Well When the folks at Fox Home Insider offered to help kick start my post with some ideas on how to facilitate this “craft”… I said I went to college as an ART major – I got this…
I rolled up my craft shelves and got to work on how I would make a CRAFT based Troll. It involved taking one toilet paper roll and using that as the body. Then using colored paper (cutting it into small 4 inch long strips) or using colored yarn (cut into 4 inch long pieces) and using glue or tape to affix the chosen hair to the tp roll. Drawing a face on the roll then using some construction paper to make an outfit and use straws for the hands and legs.
I gave the same instructions and materials to my son… and WHAM he said – while the Trolls are cool and they’re cute and colorful – I went in a different direction…. I said hmmm ok… what direction would that be… he said with a glee I created a BERGEN. If you havent seen the new movie – the background is Trolls are being eaten by the Bergens (they look like ogres) so they’re kind of like the bad guys in a way… without missing a beat he said arent you proud you always told me to think outside the box.
Well I’m proud, he did think outside the box and now presenting — How to craft a Bergen.
Required Toilet paper roll, straws, color pencils/markers, paper (color or white will work), and finally tape or glue.
Take the piece of paper and draw an outfit or jacket.
Color the outfit in.
Cut the outfit out of the paper.
Take the toilet paper roll and tape/glue the outfit to the roll (leaving 1 inch at the top).
Draw a face on the Toilet paper roll above the outfit.
Take the straw cut into pieces and tape/glue to the base/sides of the tp roll.
Take some more paper and cut into strips take to the top as hair and there you go.
As a child of the 80’s and 90’s we owned a ton of TROLLS. My sister was a big collector – I got the color boy colored ones from time to time. When I heard this movie was coming out – I needed to check it out. Plus the voice cast is amazing, featuring the talents of Golden Globe® nominee Anna Kendrick (Pitch Perfect, The Accountant), Grammy and Emmy® Award winner and Golden Globe® Award nominee Justin Timberlake (Friends with Benefits, Shrek the Third), Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award nominee Zooey Deschanel (“New Girl”), Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, How to Train Your Dragon), Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner Christine Baranski (“The Good Wife,” How the Grinch Stole Christmas), Russell Brand (Get Him to the Greek, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Grammy Award nominee Gwen Stefani (“The Voice”), Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award nominee John Cleese (Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, Shrek Forever After), Emmy® Award winner James Corden (“The Late Late Show with James Corden”, Into the Woods), Golden Globe® and Emmy® Award winner Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent, “Arrested Development”) and Ron Funches (“Undateable,” Get Hard).
