TwiceToddlers T.G.I.F.!!!

Oh,my twins are so happy Friday is finally here. Well, they really have no concept of days, weeks, months or time really. But, they certainly know when the end of the week has arrived. They know this because they get two full days of Daddy and Mommy and they can go to the gym with Daddy or we go to the park together.

This weekend, I have no idea what we will do. If the weather permits, we will probably take a nature walk around our home or at a local park. We can ask the girls what they see around the neighborhood, nature wise, of course. Maybe, we will even walk to our local park.

As of right now, it's a toss up...the weather here is strange and can never be relied upon.

Children's Clartin for Indoor and Outdoor Allergies

Being a BzzAgent means I am able to test out products at home. When I receive a product in the mail or I am given a coupon, I am can go get the product at try it a home. That is exactly what I did with this Children's Claritin Grape Chewable. When I received this product at home last Saturday, I gave one to each of my twins. They had been sneezing a lot, especially with all the flowers and trees in bloom around my home.

Within less than an hour, my twins had stopped their sneezing and they were fine able to play outdoors again.

When I went to my bible study on Wednesday, I handed out coupons I received, with my bible study friends. Oh, they were so happy to get a coupon for an allergy medicine because their kids have seasonable allergies.

If you want to learn more about Claritin, you can visit the Claritin website right here. The grape flavor chewables will make it easier for your children to take.

TwiceToddlers Like Hooked on Phonics

Today, after my twins woke up from their nap, they asked for a snack and juice, as usual. Then, they asked if we would "play with the letters again". The Letters means the Hooked on Phonics letter flash cards. I said, "Sure we are going to play with the cards again."

So, I got my laptop ready with the Yellow CD already uploaded to my iTunes music player and got out the HOP box of goodies. Then, we all sat on our couch and we began to listen to the lady, from the beginning, tell us to listen to her as she reads the letters A-Z, 1-2-3, with picutures at the bottom right of each flashcard.

Repetition is how we learn and this reading program just does that. So, after the third time around of us learning to sound out the letters, my twins were getting tired. Well, of course they do not understand the concept of "repetition" yet. So, until they can learn to sound out each letter, that is the #2 on the flashcard, we will stay at this level. That is fine though, because sooner than later, they will "get it".

This was only their second day looking at the flashcards and listening to the lady on the CD. I personally like her voice too, as it is soothing and she pronounces all the letters correctly, unlike Mommy.

Keep Deer Off! for Deer in Your Garden

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Deer Off. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you live in the foothills, mountainous area or anywhere near nature, the one product you will need is Deer Off. As spring rolls around, so does the Deer population. As lovely as it is to see Deer up close and personal, they are not welcome in your garden, at any time. Before Deer make their appearance in your garden, it is best to spray the Deer Off repellent on or around your flower garden and vegetable garden. After seeing your garden and flowers grow, it would be disheartening to see Deer and their young eat your labor of love, your garden.

This deer repellent is necessary to move a Deer family or population away from your home, especially since Deer are known the carry Lyme Disease and ticks. These diseases should not be taken lightly, especially if you have young children or an elderly person living at your residence.


Before you see any sign of Deer and their family waltz in your garden, you should learn about deer control. When using Deer Off, you should know that Havahart® Deer Off® II is a battery-powered sprayer and also has a patented Dual Deterrent System™ formula. Depending on how small or large your garden area is, you will find the motorized sprayer useful as this cuts down on the time you take to protect your flowers and vegetables. The Havahart® Deer Off® II battery-powered sprayer is provided with scents and taste barriers which will repel not only deer, but rabbits and squirrels. This formula contains ingredients such as putrescent eggs solids, garlic and capsaicin. These ingredients are safe for deer, rabbit and squirrels. Along with the use of egg and garlic scents, the taste of hot peppers will dissuade deer, rabbit, and squirrels from eating your plants. It is highly unlikely these critters will get past the odor and will be repelled by the taste as well.

The best thing about this Havahart® Deer Off® II battery-powered sprayer is its design. The design makes it perfect for carrying around your yard when spraying. In not time at all, your garden will be sprayed without spending all day protecting your garden some other way. This way of spraying also reduces hand fatigue from typical sprayers. When spraying this repellent as directed, animal will stay away up to 90 days. It is possible that you will need to spray more than once.
