Fever :(

Poor guy has a fever. It's not enough that he has stitches and now a fever and of course it has to happen the weekend that I'm going to be away. I feel horrible leaving him this weekend even it Miah is home. He's hardly been sick and when he was I have always been here to take care of him. I'm being over cautious and typing up his whole medical history just in case Miah has to take him to the ER this weekend since he probably won't be able to answer most of the questions because they are only ingrained in my memory. I know Miah will be great when he's here with Rex but it doesn't mean that Mommy doesn't feel guilty about leaving her little boy when he's sick.

So Rex won't take Mortin or any type of medicine to help with his fever either. So I headed out to Vitamin Cottage once again for help in this area and here is my review of their product.

Homeopathic Review

Ultima Kids! Replenisher, in other words Pedi-light powder. So I mixed it they way it said and he wouldn't drink it. I'm not sure if it is because he doesn't like it because he won't eat or drink any thing else. I will try it again when I need it and see if it helps.

Belladonna: to be used for high fever of sudden onset with perspiration. These are little balls that come in a not so user friendly container. Children and adults can take 5 to help reduce fever. Once I gave them to Rex his fever dropped faster than any time I have been able to make him take Mortin. It didn't make it go away but that's because he is still sick but it did help reduce it.

Hyland's Flu: to be used for fevers, chills, body aches that are caused by colds and flus. Rex took these with the belladonna to help with other discomfort he was feeling from being sick. Miah said that he could tell the difference when he gave this to Rex. He said Rex was more active than he was before and didn't seem as whiny.

The Belladonna and the Hyland's Flu worked great and there was no fighting to get him to take it! That was a major plus. It's not fun when your child is sick but then to force them to take something they don't like while they are screaming and they choke because of it makes it even worse. Gotta say I will use homeopathic things any day over medicine just because it's healthier for us but also because it requires less effort to get Rex to take it.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

Changing My Lifestyle!

Well not only walking but just in general changing my lifestyle. I am currently overweight according to the doctors and the horrible BMI chart by 60 pounds. I seriously don't think that I will ever loose that much weight ever again. If I do great but not my goal because I want something attainable.  I have tried some many different things to lose weight and it just never works. Before I was pregnant I was right where I am now. My body has changed since I was pregnant but the weight is still the same. The good news I didn't gain anything after the pregnancy but the bad news is I still need to do something. So I'm going through the Made to Crave book and I love it. I have decided to change many different things about my lifestyle. I want to be able to have the energy to keep up with Rex and enjoy my life and right now it just doesn't seem to be everything it should be.  So here is what I have started doing...I eat only things God created. Fruits, veggies, healthy...

Frumpy or Fabulous?

Staying at home can create a sense of comfort. Allowing to stay in PJ's all day, enjoying just lounging of the couch and eating bon bon's. However for most of us homemakers we do not have this luxury of lounging and bon bon's. We have things to do with our children, house cleaning to do, and many thing outside of the house. Sometimes getting dressed in the morning just seems pointless. Excuses like I have to clean so why would I put on my 'nice' clothes or the baby is just going to spit up on me so I should just stay in my pj's since I will have to change later anyway. These are valid reasons on some  days to stay in our pj's but most  days we should get up and get ready just like if we worked outside of the home. It shows our husbands that we care about him and we try to make sure that we look good for him. It also shows are children good habits of getting up and getting dressed and ready for the day. If you read in Proverbs 31 you will see what a wif...
