Here’s my take on the game from the moment we got it. It’s a lot in a box, it seems overwhelming for kids at first ( this game is for ages 8+) Each stack of cards is for a different category and are all color coded. While it looks like a lot, it’s easily kept neat and the kids picked up on how to play it after a few rounds. This is a game pretty much for children who already know names of Countries and places, People, some Culture as well as Geography plus more. It’s very difficult for the kids who don’t know much about these things and it’s not as fun for the younger ones so I really suggest keeping this for the older kids. You can learn a long as you play, so far my kids and their friends

Top 5 First Aid and Safety Tips for Children

Posted on by

Keeping kids safe is priority number one for most parents, but it’s not always possible to prevent accidents and injuries. Kids don’t want to live in a bubble; they want to explore and have adventures, to try new things. And although your instinct is to protect them from harm, you probably realize that being overprotective will soon become stifling, and it could lead to all kinds of unfortunate side effects for children, such as a lack of confidence, a fear of the outside world, or worse, a tendency to rebel during adolescence. Still, you can take steps to keep them safe from common hazards, and you should have some basic knowledge of pediatric first aid for those occasions when accidents occur. So here are just a few first aid and safety tips that every parent should observe.

  1. Child-proof your home. The first way to ensure safety in the home is to take steps to childproof every room, as well as outdoor spaces. This means covering outlets, installing baby gates, adding door and drawer latches, locking oven dials, and potentially even strapping furniture to the wall during infancy and toddler years. This should prevent kids from suffering some of the most common accidents, such as electrocution, burns, poisoning, and falling or pulling items down on top of them. As for the backyard, you’ll want to look for hazards like poisonous plants and install locking gates around the pool area (if you have one).
  2. Run emergency Continue reading →

PMD-Personal Microderm Device and Skin Care Line Review & Giveaway

Pmd PackageI have such sensitive skin, and it is hard for me to find products that I can use on my face that doesn’t cause one problem or another. Honestly, I can say that since I have found the specific products that work out for my face I am usually a little bit skeptical to try new things. However, I was very excited to be able to give the PMD device as well as the PMD Skin Care Line a try.

About PMD (Personal Microderm):

“Achieving amazing anti-aging resultes at home with PMD Personal Microderm. It works just like a professional microdermabrasion treatment without the hassle or cost. The hand-held device uses the same aluminum oxide crystals as the ten thousand dollar machines found at your doctor’s office. It smooths away dead skin cells, diminishing age spots and other signs of aging.

PMD Includes:

  • 1 Personal Microderm
  • 7 exfoliating discs (1 white training, 2 green, and 4 blue)
  • 1 electric cord
  • 1 facial cap
  • 1 body cap
  • 1 reusable filter
  • Instructional CD and Pamphlet

When you are regularly using the Personal Microderm, you should use a cell renewal or gentle skin resurfacing cream, and I was happy to be able to try out the PMD Daily Regeneration System – Starter Kit with my microdermabrasion tool.

How To Use:

**On the first treatment, you should use the training disc on the neck to test how the skin will react to treatments from the PMD.

  1. First you need to choose a disc. (Small Disc is used for face and delicate areas & Large Disc is used on your body specifically) (White-Training Disc, Blue-Sensitive Skin, Green-Medium strength, Red-Maximum Strength)
  2. Insert the disc by pushing down carefully.
  3. Use a free hand to pull the skin tight in the treatment area.
  4. Move the PMD Personal Microderm in an upward motion across the skin. (Do not make more than two passes over one area during the treatment.
  5. After the treatment use a toner to neutralize the pH balance in the skin and a recovery moisturizer.
  6. Let your skin recover. Wait 6-7 days between treatments.

Drive It Home – Teen Safety #DriveitHome #CGC

Drive It Home is an initiative of the National Safety Council. The initiative focuses on new teen drivers and some possible dangers which parents and teens are probably not aware of, but could save a life. Speaking of which, did you know that vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for US teenagers?

Drive it HomeThe way the Drive It Home show presented the data was not only through hard facts but also through humor from the funny folks at Second City. They put on a faux Dr. Phil show which revolved around parents being more involved, responsible, and active parents. But also teen drivers should be aware of the road and their surrounds while also bringing in mind they are not masters of the road so they should be active learners.

Drive it HomeThe second main portion of the presentation involved a woman who lost her daughter. Her daughter was a passenger in a vehicle during a crash. The number of teens in the car at the time of the accident was three. The next valuable piece of information given out was the more teens in the car the chance of getting into a crash increases- With each additional passenger in a new teen driver’s car, the chance of a crash goes up 50%. For adults it is the opposite, each adult acting as another pair of eyes on the road around them, possibly catching Continue reading →
