Product Shout outs

I haven't done one of these for a while, but I have stumbled across two new products worth mentioning on here.

The first one is A LIFESAVER...

Mineral Oil! Emma has a slower digestive tract than some and she gets really backed up and then when she is able to go to the bathroom it's like a hard rock...she usually screams for a while and then gets it out and screams some more. Well, finally, the pediatrician recommended something that actually worked-the mineral oil. We've only used it twice over the last few days and she is already getting more regular and it's soft enough that she doesn't scream, YEA!!! TMI? sorry, but it has made things much more pleasant around here. If your child is in need of some "help" in this area, give 'em 1 TBSP of this a day mixed in with their bottle and you'll notice a great improvement.


The other one is a fun summertime find-Slowmelt popsicles! I don't like giving Abi popsicles because they are so messy. I saw these things at the grocery store last week and skeptically decided to try them out. They are great!!! Abi's had a few of them and it has yet to end up in a big melty, sticky mess. Go out and get some of these to enjoy this summer!

Now that is something my little guy actually needs help with. When he arrives at our house after being with his mom he is SOO back'd up! He avoids using the restroom. We feel so bad for him. Usually after eating healthy foods for about a week I can get him going again. But in my opinion that's too long for a 7 year old! I think you may have given us some hope!
As for the yummy treats you suggested! I can't wait to try those! Did you notice a significant price difference between the less mess kind and the normal kind?

How awful with little Emma - I'm so glad the stuff is helping her. I hate it when my kids are in pain and I cant do anything.
