Silikids ~ Review

My toddler is in the in between stages of cups. Her sippy cup is almost to babyish and a glass is just to risky. I was introduced to Silikids and they have a toddler cup that is perfect size. It is 6 oz and the glass is covered in silicone. It makes holding on to it easier for little hands.

Here is some information from their website:

Toddlers want to drink from a 'big kid' cup. Silikids makes this easy to do with a small silicone covered glass. Easier to hold and protected in case of accidents, a Siliskin Glass is a great improvement to children's glass tableware.

Avon - ANEW Reversalist Review

I was so happy to have Avon contact me about ANEW Reversalist products. My daughter is turning 10 tomorrow so I am feeling a little sad and old :) And the best cure for me when I am feeling this way is to pamper myself......yippie!

.

I started using ANEW Reversalist a few days ago. I am lovin' the way my skin is feeling. I have been using it day and night.

.

Avon has the combo on sale for $59.00 a $76.00 value.

.

Here is some information from Avons site:

.

"To optimize the effectiveness of the Activinol Technology, we teamed up and formulated the Renewal Serum and Night Renewal Cream to work in tandem. We have created a true power couple - the extremely lightweight serum and the moisturizing night cream - and when used together, the benefits of REVERSALIST are maximized." -- Dr. Glen Anderson, Ph.D., Director of Global Skin Care Development at Avon Products, Inc. and Dr. Uma Santhanam, Ph.D, Senior Manager of Cell Biology and In-Vitro Testing at Avon Products, Inc.

Gerber Smart Sips

I always pack a juice for my toddler before I leave the house. But sometimes I feel she is getting to much juice. So I was very happy to have the opportunity to try something new. Gerber Smart Sips sent my daughter some samples to try. They were an instant hit!

Here is some information about Smart Sips:

SMART SIPS is the all-new nutritious beverage that helps fill important nutrient gaps in your toddler’s diet.

Made with delicious and nutritious fat-free milk, SMART SIPS beverages are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fat for healthy growth and development. There’s no room for added sugar, preservatives, or artificial flavors. And of course, we use milk produced without the use of added growth hormones or antibiotics.

Research shows that many toddlers don’t get enough iron, calcium, or vitamins D & E. In fact, 100% of toddlers have vitamins E intakes below the recommended level. Also, many toddlers eat too much saturated fat and not enough essential omega-3 fats*.

That’s why SMART SIPS beverages are packed with 15 essential vitamins and minerals and omega-3 fat** to support your toddler’s healthy growth and development.

*FITS, 2002**140mg omega-3 fat (alpha linolenic acid) per serving

Infant Nutrition Blog Tour

A remarkable new website, InfantNutritionCenter.com, unveiling this Monday, October 19, will take us Moms on a unique and powerful visual journey through infant nutrition and development, with amazing visuals that reveal how proper nutrition shapes development and how individual nutrients affect the senses, bone formation, and the immune system of infants. Showcasing new data and 3-D images, the site lets you explore and learn the latest research findings through video, pictures, and graphics, in depth questions like why infant eyesight depends on getting enough DHA and what key nutrients contribute to the healthy growth of your child’s brain.

Developed as a resource for Moms, the website brings together information from leading health centers and researchers across the country to explain how nutrition is crucial to infant development. How can you make sure that your newborn gets the nutrients she needs to ensure healthy growth through her first birthday? How do you keep her stomach from getting upset? What should you, as an expectant Mom, eat to ensure that you stay healthy as your infant grows? What vitamins do you need if you’re breastfeeding to ensure that you’re passing along the right nutrients to your infant?

.

This site is truly amazing. The videos are very informative. I wish this site was around when I was pregnant. If you anyone that is pregnant, thinking about becoming pregnant or has an baby this site is highly recommended!

Listerine Oral Challenge Blog Tour

I am so glad I had the opportunity to participate in the Listerine 2 Week Oral Care Challenge.


My kids also had fun with the goodies they received.



The LISTERINE® AGENT COOL BLUE® was a hit with my oldest daughter. If you have not used this before here is some information about it. Listerine Agent Cool Blue is a pre-brush tinting rinse. Used before brushing, it tints teeth blue so kids pay attention when cleaning their teeth; giving kids a sense of accomplishment that they are doing a good job and reinforcing the positive behavior. It turned her teeth really blue!


Another product we received that I found to be a great help is the Reach Flossers. It really made flossing easier for my daughter, especially the back teeth.


The 2 week Challenge was a great experience in our house and has helped us start a better routine!


Here are some interesting facts:

• 50 percent of children will have a cavity or filling between the ages of five and nine.


• Perceived healthy snacks such as fruit juice and milk can also be the source of cavities.


• The American Academy of Pediatric Dentists (AAPD) recommends parents schedule an appointment with a dentist as soon as the first tooth appears.

Check out Listerine for more information and coupons!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Listerine and Reach and received Listerine and Reach products for the Oral Care Challenge and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.
