October is National Fire Prevention Month - Be Prepared for the Worst
Category:
Health For the Home
There’s nothing more important than keeping your family safe. After learning about
Burn Jel Plus ($8.99)I added it to our first aid kit. The gel contains lidocaine for pain relief and tea tree oil, a natural antibacterial agent to prevent infection. It’s far more effective than running a burn under cold water. In fact, it’s the same technology used by firefighters, paramedics and the military.
Review the following tips from
Burn Jel to see how your family stacks up in terms of fire preparedness.
- Purchase a fire extinguisher
and make sure all adults know how to use it.
- Have a burn kit handy with burn dressings to stop progression, protect against infection, and provide pain relief.
- Have a first aid kit in your home to treat minor burns, scrapes, and cuts.
- Check smoke detectors regularly and replace old batteries.
- Review the floor plan of your home and prepare an exit route from every room.
- Have practice fire drills and educate children how to exit safely.
- Choose a secure meeting spot outside.

Kid Find: A Remote-Control Car That Won’t Destroy Your House
Category:
Children Toys
What: Tonka Bounce-Back Racer
Why: After months of living outdoors, it’s time to start brainstorming some fun indoor activities for the cooler months. As the mom of an active three-year-old boy, one of the biggest hits this summer has been his remote-control car. But between the rubber tires (which mark up the floors) and the sheer force this thing packs, everything from the floor lamps to the family dog would be at risk if we allowed this car indoors.
That’s why I was delighted to discover the
Tonka Bounce Back Racer. This remote control car is perfect for toddlers—with a sturdy design that will hold up to the most demanding of toddlers, and two easy buttons to make it go forward and reverse. The car has a double-sided design—when it bumps into an obstacle, it flips over. (Instead of flipping the item over.) This delightful toy is sure to see you through the winter months with minimum damage.
Price: $29.99

Working Mom Thursday: Nyokki Grass Pets
Category:
Gifts For the Home
Here’s a fun find from our friends at
Work It! Mom:
What: Nyokki Grass Pets
Why: Nyokki means “grow” in Japanese - and that’s what these adorable pets do. They are hand-made in Japan from glazed ceramic and come filled with growing media and rye grass seeds — which grows into real grass in about two weeks. I think these make a perfect hostess gift or a gift for a colleague.
Price: $24 for a set of two
