Triaminic Makes Kids Want To Strip…In A Good Way

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:42:01 +0000

Snifff… don’t let Summer placate you you into thinking there is no need to worry about cough, colds,allergies or yes, even the Flu. While the concern about them may be less, the germs are still alive and kickin and making us and our children plenty miserable. I know P2 has just had to finish her 2nd round of antibiotics with a wicked ear infection. No fun. Thankfully we have great over the counter medicines like the Triaminic brand to help us out. You may have heard about the new recommendations that ...

Sun-proof Summer Snacks

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:01:38 +0000

Summer is in full swing and if your kids are like mine, they think ‘Snacktime‘ should be about once an hour.;) It always seems like a brutal shock to them when I say no. Funny how that is. And when I guide them towards the fruit-veggies-nuts and such,well, I must be speaking a foreign language. Here are some great suggestions and ideas to keep snacks easily portable, sun-proof, and diet-friendly from dietitian and nutritionist, Elisa Zied, author of Nutrition at Your Fingertips: 1. Nuts- Crunchy and delicious, nuts provide omega-3 fatty acids that ...

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 16:31:47 +0000

Ahhh…so many things…so little time. Let’s begin with what Kim was kind enough to mention for me. MIGRAINES Yes, I have been dealing with the lovely little things again/still (insert huge eye roll and dripping sarcasm after the word little). Causes? Well, no one really knows. Triggers for mine? Changes in Barometric pressure (gee, that is easy for me to control – NOT), inordinate fatigue (well, something I do have some control over…but as the Mom of 3 young children, well…:), and my personal favorite…..STRESS.

Be Part of the Solution, Not the Problem

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 06:35:49 +0000

Ahh,the 4th of July. That quintessential of all American summer holidays. And this year, many folks find a little bonus of time with the actual date falling on a Sunday. All the more reason to plan to have a safe and happy weekend! For many years now, July 4th has been somewhat bittersweet after a 16 year old girl I knew from the Young Women’s class I taught at church was hit and killed in a SkiDoo accident. At this point I do not even remember the details yet I think ...

Have You Ever Participated in a Clinical Trial?

Alyson the 3Ps Mama — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 17:29:26 +0000

So have you? Not sure what one is? Well, let’s start with that. A Clinical Trial is one of the ways Drug Companies test their products prior to getting permission from the FDA to make them available to the general public. They have very strict guidelines that must be followed and monitored by Doctors, Hospitals and Clinics and a handpicked group of patients are given the chance to use the medications once they meet the guidelines. Usually not only are the medications and treatment provided to the patient without cost for the ...
