Protecting Your Elderly Loved Ones

You know, the elderly are some of the most cherished people on this planet. Some of you may have elderly parents and some of you may have grandparents that are getting up in age. My grandparents passed away when I was still a teenager and I miss them terribly. My great-grandmother, with whom I had a fantastic relationship, lived to be well into her 90's before she passed away and I remember her so well. She was just one of those types of ladies who was the PERFECT great-grandmother.

As she became older, she began to have spells where she would fall and not be able to get up. She was still able to live on her own but needed nurses to come and help her every day. I would hate to hear that she had a spell and wondered how long it would be until she was needing an assisted living facility
Eventually, my grandmother set her up with a life-line necklace that would give her the assistance she would need at the touch of a button. I have recently heard of a company that offers these types of necklaces for the elderly and they have really come a long way in the technology behind these devices! The ones offered by this company can give your loved one 24/7 nurse help line access if they have a medical or non-medical emergency. I love the idea of this because it will give help when help is needed. Sometimes, my great grandmother had problems that weren't urgent and she would call her daughter. Well, if my grandmother was not available, this particular company would have a way for her to get help without having to call her daughter. 

So, when my parents get to a point in their life where they are requiring a bit more assistance, I am definitely going to be looking into one of these types of necklaces that offer help at the push of a button. What a reassurance it would be just knowing that they would have immediate assistance anytime and anywhere...even if I wasn't able to help them.

The Pickle Juice Company Review

How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream Review

Because I am a member of the Carmex Blog Squad , I am informed of and privileged to bring you reviews of Carmex's newest products! This is something that I have been doing for awhile and have really grown to love the Carmex brand. The newest products that have been introduced by Carmex are lovely and will definitely impress you as they have me. Because I am a mom, I wash my hands frequently. After diaper changes, before cleaning wounds, bathroom breaks, preparing food...all this requires clean hands. Because I usually apply lotion while I am moving and going from one thing to the next, I do not like a greasy lotion. I HATE applying a cream and having to "dry" my hands for the next half hour. What a perfectly good waste of time that is. So, I was wondering what Carmex would offer me in way of fast and quickly absorbing lotion. Before I continue, here is a bit more about Carmex for those of you who are new to their brand... Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1...

Cafe Press Review

Are any of you married to a computer guy ? Do you lovingly call him a "geek" sometimes? (my hand is raised here...LOL!) My husband is the most wonderful man in the world. He is funny, sincere, loving and VERY handy with the computer. I have issues sometimes with coding and am often heard calling "Honey? Can you come look at my blog? I don't know how to fix this!!!!" And, my charming prince comes to rescue me. My darling is going to be 31 in a week and I am SO excited to be able to celebrate another birthday with him. He also shares a birthday with our daughter which makes the day twice as fun. :) She has been talking about her birthday for WEEKS and cannot wait! This next review item is for him so if you know him (and I am hoping he doesn't read my blog for the next week :/) don't tell him about this!!!!!!!! If you are looking for perfect, unique and personalized gifts for someone special in your life I will tell you that after this post, you...
