Keep Momming

 2014, Special
Jul 102014
 
A team member of FCS participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Shire. A promotional item was received as a thank you for participating.

Raising a child at any age is challenging, and when it comes to mothers and daughters, the dynamic can be even more complex. What some may dismiss as “typical tween girl behavior” can sometimes be symptoms of something more serious. Research suggests that girls are more likely than boys to report having mostly inattentive Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Since inattentive symptoms can be less noticeable than hyperactive and impulsive symptoms, it is important that moms know what to look for.

That’s why I’m pleased to be joining Shire, CHADD and Holly Robinson Peete to announce the launch of keep momming, a new public service initiative geared towards the moms of tween girls to raise awareness of ADHD.

The campaign is anchored within a new digital hub, KeepMomming.com, where you’ll find tips, tools and other go-to resources for moms, including a checklist to help recognize the symptoms of ADHD – inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity – and then encourages moms to talk to their daughter’s doctor. The keep momming initiative can help moms learn about ADHD and provide ideas on how to spark a conversation and stay connected with their tween.

Get Your Hands on a Better Satellite Provider

Are you saving as much money as possible in today’s challenging economic climate?

For many people, the answer is likely no.

In those cases, there are some options out there, especially when it comes to home entertainment choices.

With many consumers facing rising bills these days, one way to lower your expenses is your television viewing bill. For those looking to decrease that bill, turning to the right satellite provider can be a great move.

By looking into a provider like http://www.direct2tv.com/directv-deals.html, television viewers find themselves with a great deal, both for young and old.

Unlike when dealing with some other purchases that can leave consumers feeling haggled, choosing a satellite provider doesn’t have to be that way. Consumers can find a satellite television package that meets a number of needs, ranging from kids’ shows to movies and sports for the parents.

Choosing the Right Package

In order to get the best satellite provider package, consumers should do the following:

1.  Get information – In order to find the best deal for you and/or your family, make sure you search around. Different providers will offer you different deals, some of which may not be in your best interests. You should visit the different provider websites to learn about what they offer, pricing, and what the contractual terms are before choosing one;

2.  Take a family survey – If you’re single, then you have no problems here, you can choose pretty much whatever you want to watch. With those that have families, however, the choices can be a little more challenging. Sit down with your family and decide what channels would be best suited for your household. If you have kids, having a number of children-friendly channels is of course a good idea. You can also get channels that offer family-friendly movies. For the sports lover or lovers, there are sports packages available. Whatever the needs, decide which channels best fit your situation;

3.  Determine your budget – Finally, there are various satellite provider packages available at different pricing tiers. Decide which pricing arrangement best meets your needs. For instance, if you are someone that watches little television and/oris not home often, getting a package with 200 channels or more likely does not make sense.

As you decide on a satellite provider best suiting your entertainment and financial needs, keep in mind that customer service both before the selection and after the selection is critical.

Your satellite provider should be one who is there for you at all hours of the day to answer questions and solve problems.

Make sure to find one offering free standard home installation in more than one room of your residence if needed, HD availability so you can get the best viewing experience in high definition, and one that also doesn’t forget the need for your local channels to be part of any package.

In times when many consumers are trying to save every dollar possible, zoom in on the best satellite provider for your entertainment needs.

The New Poise Microliner with SAM – Get Your Free Sample!

SAM Poise Microliner

**This post is sponsored by Poise, but my love for their Microliners is all my own.

Poise Microliner with SAM is designed for Light Bladder Leakage!

Full protection without any bulk…it doesn’t get better than that!

SAM Poise Microliner

How many times have you said – Wait! Stop! You’re going to make me pee my pants?  I know over the years I’ve said that so many times…particularly after giving birth to my children.  As I’ve aged, the light bladder leakage has worsened.  And quite frankly, I resent that I no longer have a menstrual but need protection for LBL.

Did you know that 1 out of every 3 women experience bladder leakage? It really is more common than one thinks and it’s not often spoken about. There are many reasons that can cause LBL – from sneezing, coughing, laughing, exercise, child birth, and I personally discovered that even medications can cause LBL.

Poise Microliners with SAM are designed specifically for urine incontinence unlike mini pads – just as a infant’s diaper is designed to hold urine. Prior to learning of these little gems – I would turn to a mini pad.  Mini pads may do the trick to a point, however Poise now comes to the rescue better than ever with these microliners that are affordable!

Wondering what SAM is?

SAM is the Super Absorbent Material found in these microliners, that is super thin, that is designed to provide discreet Light Bladder Leakage (LBL) protection. It’s designed to keep you dry and comfortable all day long.  The microliners instantly absorb wetness and neutralize odor.

More specifically – Poise Microliners are the thinnest liners in the light incontinence category and are designed to absorb wetness, neutralize odor and stay three times drier than period liners.

The picture above far from displays how thin these microliners are.  So to give you a better idea how thin they are – picture yourself holding one in the wrapper between two of your fingertips, which means it’s still folded.  The microliner is no more than a 1/4″ thick.  Open the wrapper and extend the liner – you’re looking at the microliner being no more than a 1/8″ in thickness.  Seriously, that’s how thin they are!

Poise Microliner Specs

  • Absorb-lox core – quickly locks away wetness and odor
  • Come individually wrapped
  • Have a think-flex design – moves with your body
  • Stays in place for everyday comfort
  • Come in two lengths -Regular Length 5.9 in (15 cm) Long 6.9 in (17.5 cm) (Personally, I always go for the longer length of any product like this or mini pads – I’m just a worry wart).

My dad NEEDS the Lifeproof cellphone case.  He’s far from careful with his cellphone and we all know how expensive smartphones are!  Every time you turn around he’s dropping that phone.  He so needs a waterproof case and one that can take an impact!

He goes fishing a lot, but he won’t take the phone with him because he doesn’t want to have it fall in the water.  Him not taking it with him defeats the purpose of being able to get in touch with him.  With the Lifeproof case – there wouldn’t be any worrying about that (I wish they made waterproof cases for in-ear hearing aids too!).

An ounce of prevention would be worth a pound of cure for all of us.  He wouldn’t have to worry about getting the phone wet and we would be able to stay in contact with him.

What persona does your dad resemble?  Take a look at all the gift ideas Best Buy has put together:
