Undercover Mission Update #GoodNites

I've discussed our ongoing issue with Lil Foodie staying dry overnight here before, and it is the topic again today. While she really hasn't had much progress in night time accidents, on the brightside her GoodNites "nighttime panties" have been a real bedding saver.

When You Absolutely Have to Be There

Sitting around waiting for roadside assistance to come is not fun for anyone, but I am the only one my daughter can count on to be there for her, so it is all the more important. Me not being there when the bus arrives to drop her off, could be potentially devastating for my little girl. I know the driver & assistant wouldn't just leave my autistic daughter on the street, but...

GoodNites: The Undercover Mission Continues

My Daughter (Lil Foodie) continues to have a happy bedtime experience each night with the help of GoodNites. They don't get in the way of her jumping on mommy's bed (it's always better to jump on someone else's bed apparently). They aren't uncomfortable and distracting when we feed her glofish, and watch them eat at lights out, and...

Avoid Electric Bill Shock with ENERGY STAR & Best Buy

I electric bill just arrived yesterday, and EEEKKK! , It was a frighteningly high. I've been shutting off lights and such, but between running air conditioning at the start of the month & the basement dehumidifier working over time we used up a lot of juice. I guess it is time to look into replacing some of the old appliances around here with newer ENERGY STAR models. I've already switched over quite appliances, but of course due to budget limitations, can't do it all at once...

What Can the Fellowes 63Cb Shedder Do for the Paper Clutter Queen?

Paper clutter has always been a bit of a problem for me, so much so that you could call me the paper clutter queen. In recent years, the problem has been harder to fight. On top of the usual papers most people have such as bills, I also have a plenitude related to writing and recipe assignments, and since my daughter is disabled, an ocean of paperwork related to all of her therapies and services. From thick packets, to tiny scraps of paper jotted with recipe notes, I have it all...

Express You Sinus Pressure Angst & Get Relief  #SudafedOpenUp

Tracking Pixel This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sudafed. sudafed Nobody likes suffering from stuffed up painful sinuses. I still get sinus pain and pressure on occasion, but not nearly as much as I did in my 20's.  Back then, the night clubs and restaurants I frequented were packed with smokers, and it wreaked havoc on my poor sinuses.  I always turned to Sudafed and inhaling steam vapors to alleviate my symptoms.   I still turn to both when I get a bout of sinus congestion.  I need to get relief quickly, because not only is it misery, but it is not conducive to creating recipes, which is sort of my thing around here. open up Sudafed’s new OPEN UP™ app is packed with information and discussions related to sinus pain and pressure, and ways to alleviate the problem.  The Sudafed OPEN UP™ application not only gives sufferers a place to express themselves in writing, but through visual expression as well.  The folks at Sudafed want you to transform your agony into art, on their fun sketching application, and one lucky doodler will win a soothing $5,000! sinus pressure 5 finalist images will be selected, and put up for the public to vote on.  The winner not only gets the $5,000 , but also gets to have their masterpiece featured in a national ad campaign.  Can't draw for beans, no worries, you will still get a handy dandy coupon for Sudafed to help you with your sinus troubles.  Have fun.  Let your inner child loose.  Here is my creation featuring what sinus pain & pressure feels like to me...an elephant is standing on your face, while your head is getting hammered and your nose runs uncontrollably.  Yeah, I know, don't quit my day job, but it does get the point across doesn't it...lol. But seriously, both the Sudafed OPEN UP™ application & the Sudafed website can be a huge help if you are suffering from sinus issues.  I learned several new things myself during my visit.  Although sharing our frustrations about the discomforts associated with sinus pressure can be therapeutic in their own right, opening up those passages is the ultimate goal isn't it, and these pages have great tips to assist you in having the pleasures of free flowing air again, and no vice-like pressure making you miserable. Sudafed_OpenUp_Infographic_MECH Pin It!
Sudafed knows that suffering from sinus pressure and pain can leave individuals feeling crushed, beat down, congested and even squeezed, desperately looking for a way to open up. Serious sinus sufferers are invited to creatively share how their sinus pain and pressure looks and feels to them by using Sudafed’s OPEN UP™ application on Facebook. Then, beginning on December 2, the Sudafed Facebook community will vote for one of five finalist sketches that best illustrates the pains of sinus pressure. The winner will receive $5,000 and a chance to have their work included in a Sudafed advertising campaign. For more information, visit the Sudafed Facebook page.
