Rx Timer Cap Review

I was fortunate enough to win Rx Timer Caps in a rafflecopter giveaway.

It is not often that I come across a product that I truly believe everyone should have.  The Rx  Timer Cap (the patented smart cap) replaces the cap on your prescription bottle.  It keeps track of how long it has been since the bottle was opened, thus the last time one took their medication.

I have 4 different pain medications that say take 2-3 times per day.  That can get confusing.  I was having to write down each time I took one of the medications.  But, now with Rx Timer Caps, I can see the digital read out on top of the cap, telling me how long it has been since I took my last dose.

For instance, I was going to take a pain pill, only to find out it had only been 2 hours and 35 minutes since I had taken it.  I would have over medicated.

I highly recommend you purchase these not only for medications you take every day, but also to have on hand for those acute illnesses.  You know the kind where you lay in bed, with your medication beside you and you can't remember when you took your medication, so you just take another one.  This could lead to severe problems and even death in some instances.

These would also be useful for older adults.  When you check in on them you would know how long it had been since they took their medicine.  And, also would lead to less confusion for them.  Because we all know that as we age, our memory can get a little fuzzy.

If you have children that are ill, no more having to check with the other parent to see if they have given your child their medicine.

I am just very impressed by these.  Every time you open the bottle, the LCD  timer acts as a stop watch and resets back to zero.  I feel confidant now about when to take my next dosage of medication.

You can learn more about them at www.RxTimerCap.com.

Yester Year Soap Review

I received YesterYear chocolate soap as a gift,  And, I have had the pleasure of 'talking' to Cindy through email.  She is one of the kindest person you could ever meet.  It makes me feel good to know that a company has people working for them that genuinely care about their customers, and believe in their product.

YesterYear soap is all natural, they use no preservatives.  If you are looking for a soap for all skin types, then look no farther than YesterYear.

When I first opened my bar of chocolate soap, I wanted to take a big bite out of it!  It smells so 'chocolatey' and is so smooth.

When in the shower, it glides over your skin like silk, and lathers nicely.  Not as bubbly as the bath gels one might use, but they put additives in those to give you all those bubbles.  My shower smelled like rich chocolate, it is a pleasant experience.  The chocolate smell does not retain on your skin for long, but my skin does feel softer.  I had a few dry places on my shoulders that are now gone.

YesterYear soap is a luxury one can afford to use everyday.  You can find them at :

Trevor says,,,

Trevor is my 3 year old Grandson, he is the spitting imagine of his Dad.  It is kind of like watching Sundance grow up again!

He is an ornery, but very sweet little boy.  For instance; I babysat him one day because he wasn't feeling well.  When I walked over to the couch where he was laying, he raised his head and in this tiny little voice said "Thanks for coming".  LUMP in throat!

I was travelling with my Son and his wife.  Trevor and I were in the back seat.  It was a long trip and he started getting fussy, he wanted out of his car seat.  I reached over to him and said "Calm down, Skippy".
And, he cracked up!  He started saying Skippy over and over, he even called his Dad Skippy.  You may be wondering why I called him Skippy.  My Grandpa called me Skipper so I just changed it up for a boy. :)

Another time I was watching him, when he wasn't feeling well.  And, he said "Call me Skippy today".  Ha!
So, of course, I called him Skippy all day and he would always laugh.  That same day, he was laying at one end of the couch and I was sitting at the other end and he said "I need you Mim".  I said "Well then you better come down here and sit on my lap".  I held him for four hours while he slept.  It was four hours well spent.  I got to kiss his little face, and hold his hand while he slept.  And, when a little child says, I need you.  It is a genuine feeling. It made me feel good to know that I was needed.

Now I do not advocate little kids saying bad words, but when they hear bad words every day, they are going to repeat them.  Here are a couple of bad word episodes I've had with Trevor.

We were playing with his plastic guns, the one I was using, broke.  He said "you broke my gun". He starts pacing back, shaking his head "I.. can't ..believe.. you ..broke.. my.. freakin'.. gun.... dammit"  I about busted a gut over how indignant he was about me breaking that gun.  LOL

Another bad word episode is; we were travelling again, and with a twinkle in his eye he leaned over towards me and whispered  "bullsh*t".  I said "Trevor you shouldn't say bad words".  He said "bullsh*t".  His Mom said "Trevor if you don't stop saying bad words, you aren't going to get to ride grandpa's 4 wheeler".  Trevor said "Bullsh*t, I'll ride the tractor!"  I had to turn my head away, so he couldn't see me cracking up.  He's just so witty and quick on the draw!

Do you have any child or grandchild stories?

I'm on a roll!

So, I enter every giveaway I can find.  I do not work outside the home, so I have the hours it takes to participate in these giveaways.

Yesterday, I won 3 giveaways;(1) piczzle, which is a company that you send a picture to and they make it into a puzzle. (2) e=cigarettes, which is for people who want a little nicotine, the "smoke" that comes out of the cigarette is water vapor (3) a book "What's color got to do with it", which explains how to use color in your home (I live in an apartment, so everything is beige).  And a "Make your own gummies kit".  I bet my grandkids will have a blast with that!

I have a neighbor that is very good to me.  I have constant chronic pain, so there are a lot of things I just can't do.  She takes my trash out for me, and keeps my porch cleared of snow and ice.  She has a tiny yorkie named Twinkles.   She loves puzzles and she loves Twinkles, so I am going to have the piczzle made for her, as a small token of thanks for all she does for me.

I really appreciate the bloggers that run these giveaways, I can just imagine the amount of time involved.

I'm a WINNER!!!!!

I woke up this morning to an e-mail saying I had won a squawking Hallmark hen, that lays eggs while she squawks and dances around.  I know the grandkids will have fun with it, and I am anxious to see the 3 year old play with it.

Then, just a few minutes ago... when I should be asleep... I get another e mail telling me I had won an AquaChef Oven, valued at $160.  I was like "Wow, this is fun!"

I am not a cook, I will probably get more use out of the chicken :)

Also, today I received a blouse and sandals I had won from a previous giveaway.

It was a good prize day!
