There you are.. you just got your sick baby to sleep and you realize that’s it’s time to take her temperature. You walk into her nice quiet nursery thermometer in hand, you stand above your sleeping baby and wonder.. how am I going to do this without waking her? Will the probing or the beeping noise wake her? Which one will it be? Whichever comes first, in my experience.
Over the last twelve years when taking my kid’s temperature whether while there were awake or asleep, I have often wondered why there wasn’t a non-intrusive, quiet, thermometer available. All I wanted was a thermometer that I wouldn’t have to stick in my child’s ear, mouth, or butt while he/she was sleeping, in order to check his/her temperature. That day has finally come!
No probing. No beeping. No wondering if you’re going to wake your child up. I love it!
I received the Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer at just the right time. My five year old daughter has not been feeling well for about a week. You know the drill.. coughing, stuffy nose, lethargic.. but she doesn’t have a fever. I checked with two thermometers; our old ear thermometer and this new thermometer. Both thermometers read the same 98.4 degrees. Which does my daughter prefer? The “no pokebeeping” thermometer. The entire family affectionately refers to the Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer as the “no pokebeeping thermometer” and we’ve used it a lot this past week.
The Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer has three modes; Body, Room, and Surface. Use Body mode to take your child’s body temperature. Hold the thermometer about 2 inches away from your child’s forehead and push the scan button. The LCD screen lights up with the temperature display right away, no waiting, and you will NOT hear a beeping sound. Hallelujah!
The Kidz-Med VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer is great for germaphobes (that’s me!) because we don’t have to worry about coming in contact with germs that may be on the thermometer. I HATE putting things in my mouth or ears. Except food and drinks of course but I don’t put those in my ears.
Measuring room temperature
I am impressed with the accuracy of this thermometer. I tested it next to our thermostat and sure enough, the temps matched.

“Kidz-Med’s new thermometer takes the trauma out of temperature taking. It has absolutely no contact with the skin, is quick and is highly accurate; the ultimate combination for caretakers and parents. We’ve tested the new thermometers in our fast-paced environment, and each time they exceed our expectations, making our jobs more efficient and overall much easier.

What can you do in 2 hours while you’re whitening your teeth?
Iron clothes, answer emails, pack for your trip, make your grocery list, feed the kids, and exercise! And I’m speaking from experience.
Having the Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips on my teeth for two hours didn’t hinder my ability to do anything really. The strips were easy to put on. You simply peel off the backing and apply them to your teeth. The strips provide good coverage all the way up to the gums. The very tops and bottom of my teeth are what were most yellow/discolored and I can tell a difference since using the Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips.
After removing the strips, I felt a little bit of gel on my teeth and per the instructions I wiped the gel away. I didn’t experience discomfort through the entire process. Yes, it was a little strange having strips on my teeth but I kept busy and was looking forward to the results so I wasn’t bothered by them.
Drumroll please…. here is the before and after photo:

I have no problem admitting that I will hand my 5 or 12 year old the iPad when I’m on the phone with a client, need to cook dinner, write an email, or take a shower. I try not to use the television as a form of entertainment as much as we used to and after they’ve been playing with Moon Dough, LEGO’s, or Play-Doh for a couple of hours, I think it’s ok to let them spend a few minutes playing on the iPad. The really cool thing is that my 5 year old doesn’t even realize that she’s learning while she’s ‘playing’ on the iPad!
VocabuLarry’s Things That Go iPad app by BabyFirstTV is a book app that allows your child to read the book themselves or have the story read to them. I can even record my voice while reading the story so that it’s like I’m reading the story to Madelyn. This is great when I’m not able to put her to bed because I have to work late. My husband will read her a story then he’ll put the iPad app on so it’s like I’m right there with her, reading to her. Animations and sounds activated by her touch make each page of the app interactive. This app teaches babies and toddlers vocabulary.

I had this grand plan of sitting down with my five year old at a quiet time and place to present her with the Chasing Fireflies catalog from which I would allow her to pick her Halloween Costume for this year. Well, that didn’t happen. While I was on the phone with a client, she found the catalog, picked it up and ran outside to the front porch to flip through the pages. She was in heaven. She wanted this costume, that costume, that tiara with that costume, those sparkly shoes with the other costume and she really wanted them all right then! She said “mama, go check the mailbox, maybe they are in there”.
“No, baby.. we have to order a costume and then it will take some time to arrive” I said.
It took her about 30 minutes to narrow her selection down to one costume and since the moment I ordered the costume, she’s asked “is it here yet” about three hundred times.
The costume should arrive tomorrow and I will post photographs of my daughter wearing the costume then!
My daughter wearing her new Chasing Fireflies' Queen of Hearts costume
UPDATE: My daughter’s Queen of Hearts costume arrived today from Chasing Fireflies. When she saw the bag with the costume inside it, she ran to the couch, laid down, and started kicked her feet and banging her hands into the couch while shaking her head back and forth screaming “I’m so excited, I’m so excited”! I haven’t seen her that excited in.. forever. Seriously, she’s NEVER done that before. So we took the costume out of the garment bag and her little face turned bright red as she held her breath in anticipation. (She’s really into dress up clothes!) She put the costume on and hasn’t taken it off since.. it’s been about 2 hours now. When she saw the neighbors walking their dog a little while ago, she asked me if she could go outside and show the little girl her new costume. She’s so proud!
Visit Chasing-Fireflies.com and check out their selection of beautiful costumes. The costumers are a bit on the costly side BUT if your daughter is anything like mine and puts on a dress up outfit right when she gets home from school most days, then you will see your return on investment very quickly, I assure you! 🙂
