Riley absolutely HATES having her temperature taken.  Currently, we have one of those ear thermometers, which requires sticking a probe down into the ear canal.  She constantly squirms and cries and it is next to impossible to get an accurate reading.  I can understand though.

If you're sick and don't feel well, the last thing you want is someone holding you down trying to pry some weird device into your ear!  Sanomedics designed a talking, non-contact thermometer, so that you won't even have to touch your child in order to get a quick, accurate temperature reading.  Now this I had to see!

Thank you to LUNA Protein for providing me a LUNA Protein sample pack to review. The opinions I've expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint.

Everyone knows that drinking water is essential to good health.  Of course, the quality of the water we drink is extremely important, for regular tap water can contain plenty of contaminants, such as lead, parasitic organisms and chlorine, any of which can make us ill.  Because of our awareness of the dangers of tap water, bottled water is now looked at as a necessity.

Unfortunately, bottled water is a disaster for the environment and this water can also contain high levels of chemicals which have leached in from the plastic bottles themselves.  So what is a family to do?  How can we provide clean, safe drinking water for ourselves so that we don't compromise our precious health?  Mavea has invented a water filtration pitcher which is super simple to use and yet inexpensive to operate.  Keep reading to learn much more!

Because both my husband and my daughter suffer from allergies, the level of air quality in our home is something my family takes seriously.  We currently use air filtration systems in both bedrooms so that we all can sleep soundly throughout the night without awaking to a clogged head or itchy, watering eyes.

Although these systems work great, they are rather expensive to maintain.  Himalayan Salt Shop offers a much more natural and inexpensive solution to keeping your home's air clean and fresh.  They offer a myriad of natural shaped salt lamps and candle holders which are both functional and extremely beautiful.  Keep reading to learn more!
