Super Sunday, Super Sick...

Urgh...I won't bore you/gross you out with the details, but I am the third in the house to come down with this awful tummy bug. I think the beginning of the end was when Bon threw up ON me (read ALL OVER me) when I picked him up from day care on Friday (where he hadn't been sick all day until I showed up...) and I had to drive home covered in his puke...

Ironically, that's the last time he threw up. For me, I was darned sick a short 24 hours later.

On to this Sunday's products. I have been living on Zofran and Gatorade, and I try to talk about something every week that makes my life better, so this is what you are going to get - LOL.

If you haven't been prescribed Zofran for the nausea and vomiting associated with your tummy bugs, ask for it by name next time! Zofran and I got up-close and personal while I was pregnant and now I know the Z and I will be friends for many years to come. Bon's doctor prescribed him liquid Z when we took him in last week with this bug - Dr. S. is good people. :)

When it comes to Gatorade, well I can't say enough about it...I think you already know how great it is. It tastes way better than the Pedialyte poor Bonny had to drink.

Lastly, Johnson's Bedtime Bath...I just took a long soak in a warm bath full of it. We are about to find out if it works as good on mommies as it does on babies.

In other news, Brewer finally started flipping backward and forward today like his brother, so we now officially have two little acrobats. Bon is also a certified creeper. He is a riot. We'll have to get video of it posted here soon.

Jon's been a lifesaver, taking care of me and being a auperdad with the boys - I guess he knows how miserable he was just a few short days ago...I really appreciate it.

Granny was awesome today, too. She helped with their solids at lunchtime and made sure they had a bath this evening. Thanks Granny!

Wish me a good night's sleep, everyone!

Super Sunday, Souper Meal...

Moms on the go who don't have time to cook elaborate meals, or who have never been interested in cooking...start peeling labels.

No, not on your beer bottles like the old-bygone college days. On your soup cans!

I made the Chicken Pot Pie recipe on the inside of the Campbell's Cream of Onion Soup can's label tonight and it was great. Now mind you, I did change the veggie mix to match what I had on-hand, but otherwise I followed it and it was simple and FAST! (think 30 minute meals)

I was telling one of my online pals about a recipe book made up entirely of recipes from the sides of boxes and cans and decided I would look it up exactly and post a link to it here. Looks like it is in short supply...



Keep in mind that other similar books specific to certain products like Bisquick or Campbells Soup are just a google search away!

Hopefully this will help some of my readers who aspire to do more in the kitchen!

Happy Cooking! If you make something awesome, come back and let us know.

Super Sunday - Anticipation!

I can't review it yet, but I ordered this for the boys....


Baby not included, of course - which is cool, I've already got two....I wonder if that's the same stunt-baby from the UC ad? I really should get my kids into this line of work...

The kids love the Rainforest Activity Mat and the Rainforest Bouncer, so I thought (after seeing Tracy's kids kicking it J-roo style, "why don't WE have the jumperoo?) Amazon had a good deal on it - cheaper than both Target and BRU, so I placed my order.

Next weekend, we'll give a product review. Maybe B&B will guest-blog...LOL!

Well, let me know if you have this and if you love it! Tracy - I know your answers will be yes, and yes, based on little E's video!

Writing about Miracle day really wiped me...Mommy - OUT!

Super Sunday, Super Stuff.

I've been noticing now that I am out here in Blogland more that alot of people have themes for their post for certain days of the week.

Well, I was inspired by the happy resolution of Brewer's first teething fit and by Superbowl XLIII to start my own. Sundays will henceforth be the days for Super Stuff on this blog...I'll post about a great product (or two) that made my day, products I can't live without, wish I had, etc., etc. I am no Oprah, of course, but it'll kinda be my own version of "Favorite Things".

I may also use it to shamelessly plug the products of people I know personally on occasion - only if they have GREAT products of course!

So, without further ado, our first 'Super Sunday Super Stuff' product is....

Hyland's Teething Tablests.




















These TOTALLY saved us last night.

My sister first recommended these to me before my kids were even born and I must say they are every bit as fantastic as she says.

Up until we finally tried the teething tablets, Brewer had cried for hours, only calming down (somewhat) during his feedings. I gave him two of these tablets and within 20 minutes he had calmed back down to his usual pleasant self and shortly thereafter he went down for the rest of the night and woke up in a great mood this morning!

Jon used a couple on him again this afternoon when he was having some obvious teething issues. I'm not knocking any other teething products or methods of soothing, but I will say these tablets work great for us when the standard teethers and cold washcloths aren't making the grade!

They are available at CVS or Walgreen's if you want to go bricks & mortar, or you can find them online at Amazon -

or on other websites like http://www.drugstore.com/.

Please let me know if you like the 'Super Sunday' concept so I'll know if I should keep it up.

On another note, the Superbowl was a great game this year. I was cheering for the Cardinals, but it was a fantastic game nonetheless.

As for the commercials, the Etrade kids were my favorite. Here's a link in case you missed it....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_npD8zzFi0w .

Well, I have to get going. Tomorrow is my first day back at work. I'll update tomorrow night to let everyone know how it went! Have a great night!
