Temporal Artery Thermometer

Good day Neighbors!

Well, Our AC is fixed and I am so glad!  We are not supposed to see any major change in the temperature soon.  And speaking of temperatures, I have a really handy product to have around the home.  It is an Exergen, Temporal Artery Thermometer.  Just what every mom needs for taking a child's temperature.


Remember how hard it is to have a fussy child, who does not feel well, and you need to take their temperature.  No mother wants to cause her sick child more distress by making them hold a thermometer, under their arm, under their tongue, or to take their temperature rectally.  So, here I have the perfect solution!  The Temporal Artery Thermometer, takes an accurate reading of your child's temperature in just two seconds simply by running it across the temporal artery that runs across the forehead.  Quick, simple, and no discomfort.  A red LED light and a quiet beep will let you know that you received a correct temperature reading.This makes it possible to take a sleeping child's temperature without waking them.


Why a Temporal Scan rather than an ear thermometer:
A major reason ear thermometers are considered inaccurate by medical professionals is because the positioning of the probe in the ear canal is inconsistent, thus creating inconsistent readings and frequently missing fevers. The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss the artery during a scan. Also, the person whose temperature is being taken does not like something inserted in their ear, making good positioning even more difficult. The gentle scan across the forehead is comfortable and not objectionable. The TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study.*

I am sure some of my neighbors will be interested in a Temporal Artery Thermometer.  You should be able to find one at a local retailer like; Walmart, Rite Aid, Walgreens, etc.  And one neighbor will receive one in this giveaway!

Disclosure:I received no monetary compensation for this post. I did receive one Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer.  All quotes in red are from the company website or email.  All thoughts and opinions are mine.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
