Do's and Don'ts for baby's dry nose

From American Baby Magazine, December 2009 Edition

Do:
Use infant Saline drops and bulb aspirator to clean out the nose and keep nasal passages moist.
Add Moisture to baby's room with a cool mist humidifier. Scrub it out and change the water at least once weekly.
For children 1 and up, dab fragrance free lotion on dry skin around nostrils.

Don't:
Forget to squeeze the air out of the aspirator before using it.
Use a hot water vaporizer as it can scald if it tips over.
Use petroleum jelly inside nostrils. If inhaled, it can be irritating to a child's lungs.

Playskool Toys Coupons

Every Monday I go online to coupons.com to print out the coupons I will use when I go grocery shopping that week. This week I found that http://coupons.com/ has about $75 worth of coupons for Playskool Toys. The best part? They don't expire until January 15, 2010 which means you can use them to get holiday gifts for your baby. Also, you can print them twice which means you can use them to get holiday gifts for other babies. I also found out that if you go to http://www.hasbro.com/playskool/en_US/discover/for-parents/Play-Savings.cfm you can print them again (I think twice each coupon but I only printed them once so I am not 100% sure on that one). So there you have it. Another way to save on baby toys.
Enjoy! Let me know the prices you find out on the toys. I will do some research and post on my blog later.

The Dirty Dozen

I know it has been forever since I posted something. I have been doing some research lately on feeding my family Organic foods and switching our house cleaning supplies for more environment friendly alternatives. As far as food, I found out a list of foods that have the most pesticides in it. It is recommended that you go organic on these when possible.

1. Peaches
2. Apples
3. Sweet Bell Peppers
4. Celery
5. Nectarines
6. Berries
7. Cherries
8. Kale
9. Lettuce
10. Imported Grapes
11. Carrots
12. Pears

Jillian Michaels, trainer from The Biggest Loser and author, also recommends you go Organic as much as possible with

1. Meats
2. Dairy
3. Eggs
4. Coffee
5. Any food you eat a lot

I purchase Earth's Best Organic Baby Food jars for our baby boy. Here in FL, Publix has them on sale often Buy One Jar Get One FREE and I use a $1 off 10 jars coupon. I save them in the pantry so I can have enough until the next sale comes.

Hope this little bit of info helps.

Stay Healthy!!
