An Influential Maine Mom Reviews it all.
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud Sleep Pants. With two kiddos not being completely potty trained at night, our wallets were hurting a bit. I really dislike having to buy really expensive bedwetting pants that sometimes get thrown away without being actually used if the kids had a dry night. It seemed like such a pricy waste! Thankfully the new White Cloud sleep pants are inexpensive option at only $7.75 that will save us lots of … [Read more...]
So things have been kind of slow around here on Musing Mainiac and I thought I would clue you in as to whats been going on. First things first, if you remember I wrote a post about my daughters seizure and how she was reacting to her medication. Well we took you guys advice and talked to her Neurologist. He took her gradually off Keppra and put her on a new med which we thought would be awesome. In fact it was awesome for about two weeks. Her mood improved dramatically and she began … [Read more...]

My son Ethan is 13 and has been noticing some subtle skin changes that happen to normal teens. In fact he just got his first pimple! Fortunately I received some Clearasil Rapid Action Daily Gel Wash and Clearasil On-The-Go Rapid Action Wipes to try from Mom Central so we were fully prepared. I shot the video below and in it I explain to Ethan how to wash his face with the Clearasil products and somewhat got his opinions on them. (You know just how chatty a … [Read more...]

Hey all you moms out there. Have you ever noticed that we are not allowed to get sick? I know in my house whenever the kids get sick, I take care of them. I make sure they stay hydrated, comfortable and even provide hours of entertainment with their favorite movies. When my husband gets sick he gets to stay home from work, sleep as long as he wants and I make him numerous cups of tea and homemade chicken soup. I can manage to take care of the whole family while they are … [Read more...]
I am not person who likes medication... in any way shape or form. My poor husband has to make me take ibuprofen when I get a headache. I would much rather treat a cold with plenty of OJ, Tea and homemade chicken soup then with any of the OTC stuff. So this past January when my daughter Katie randomly suffered from a seizure that lasted almost 3 hours, I was shocked as hell when I agreed to put my daughter on medication for at least the next 2 years. Let me tell you the whole … [Read more...]

As you may remember, my family and I have been participating in the Listerine 21 Day Challenge. I am so beyond thrilled with the results that we have had. My teeth and gums have never felt better and cleaner and I can honestly say that my husbands death breath has improved dramatically! Getting into the routine of brushing, flossing and rinsing with LISTERINE ULTRACLEAN twice a day was much easier than I had thought. I find that I enjoy how my mouth feels so much that I … [Read more...]
Nevada - the state that offers thousands of possibilities. It's where you go if you want to go crazy every once in a while, just avoid going too crazy or you'll end up like the guys in "Hangover". Some people certainly can't take their fill of Nevada; and it's almost the same with insects. Many creatures prefer the weather here because days are sunny and nights are cold, but not too chilly. All sorts of insects survive in this state because the winters aren't very harsh, which means that the … [Read more...]
Did you know that brushing alone misses 75% of your mouth? I sure didn't and now I am truly appalled at mine and my family's dental habits. I admit we have been rather lax at the whole dental hygiene thing. Normally we are a brush in the morning and right before bed type of family.... no frills. We floss only if we feel it necessary and only use mouthwash when we remember to buy it. My kids do see a dentist on a regular basis and so far we have been lucky cavity … [Read more...]
