Cool Gel N Cap Giveaway – Perfect For Kids With Fevers
November 5, 2014 by
Welcome to the Cool Gel N Cap Giveaway
Hosted by: SaraLee’s Deals Steals & Giveaways
and
Mother 2 Mother Blog
Sponsored by: Cool Gel N Cap
Naturally soothes boys and girls ages 1+ head bumps, bruises, fever symptoms, migraines, headaches, ear infection symptoms, and more in a fun, easy, and effective way with the Cool Gel N Cap. Why buy just ice packs, cold packs, or warm packs when you can have a Cool Gel N Cap? The gel packs that come with your Cool Gel N Cap can be used ANYWHERE it hurts, inside or out of the cap, anywhere on the body. AND… the non-toxic, latex free gel packs can be used cold AND warm, unlike conventional ice packs or cold packs. This gives you the benefit of both a cold compress & warm compress for anywhere it hurts AND a cozy cap! The Cool Gel N Cap is more comfortable on the head for the child than a traditional ice pack, cold pack, or especially a bag of frozen vegetables as the fabric is not only designed to be cozy, but also remove the sting of ice packs on the skin while letting the cool and warm therapy still get through. The cap also is designed to eliminate the condensation associated with cold packs and ice packs. Works perfectly as a cold compress or warm compress, soothing pain and reducing swelling. The cold compress of the Cool Gel N Cap is great for little ones suffering from Hemophilia, as it slows the flow of blood to the affected area. The Cool Gel N Cap is also a cozy solution for kids suffering from Dravet Syndrome as it is a comfortable way to keep cool during a fever.
Now for the giveaway: One lucky person will win a Cool Gel N Cap of sponsors choice. This is open to US and ends 11/11/14 @ 11:59 pm est. To enter, Simply do the tasks on the Giveaway Tools widget below and you’re set to have a chance to win! Remember you can’t win if you don’t enter. It only takes one entry to win!
Good Luck, Thanks for entering!

Remove The Bull
October 30, 2014 by
I went to visit my little darlings this past weekend so we could pick out pumpkins for Halloween. We decided to go to a different pumpkin patch this year, oh my. When we arrived, we decided to jump on the hayride, which was quite different from what we were used to when visiting the other pumpkin patch we normally go to. The idea was to take us on the opposite side of the farm where the kids could play on the haystack slide, bounce house and other activities.
As we were riding along, I spotted these beautiful horses. So cute with the foal taking a nap, but my grandson spotted the huge bull in the above picture heading over to the wagon to say hello. It didn’t go over well, as you can see my grandson was not a happy camper and ran to Mawmaw to rescue him. The driver explained that the bull weighed 2,000 pounds, but in my grandson’s mind it was 5,000 pounds. The driver was courtesy, when he saw that my grandson was upset he drive away. The funniest thing was his 3 year old sister telling him that the poppa cow just wanted to kiss him. Xavier wasn’t having any of it. He just wanted to move away from that huge monster of a cow that wanted to eat him.
These were happier times. We hoped off the hay wagon and headed to the teepees and pumpkin patch. Xavier soon forgot about the bull and had a great time inside the teepee and Zarriah in the pumpkin patch.
This was our first visit to Taylor Farms in Virginia Beach, VA. We had a great time and will return. If you’re visiting or live in the Hampton’s Road area, be sure to pay them a visit. This pumpkin patch is a great family spot, easy parking, it allows many photo opportunities to capture memories and it’s designed to fit a limited budget.

It may not work for everyone but then again, it may be a great way for some couples to be happier with how the finances are handled in their marriage or partnership instead of only one person having the burden of handling all the financial obligations.”
Jessica chose Couponing: My New Addiction // How I Saved 50% on My Groceries from Mommie and Wee. “I’ve been wanting to try out couponing for awhile.
