Everything is so expensive these days and who wants to end up throwing away produce they didn’t get a chance to use because it spoiled. If there was a way to keep your produce fresher longer and your refrigerator smelling fresh with air that is constantly being cleaned, would you be interested? Well, there is a way to do that with the Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator.
The Green Refrigerator Machine™ by Ozonator™ not only promotes a clean environment for the refrigerator, but it also helps to refocus the importance of nutrition through prolonging the lifespan of organic fruit and vegetables. The Ozonator™ has become a green living oxidizer that keeps perishable foods fresher by bestowing a clean environment inside your refrigerator, bringing your Refrigerator into the 21st Century.
Setting up the unit could not be easier, just remove from packaging and insert the 4 D Cell Batteries. The Ozonator’s green light will stay lit for the first hour as it is turned on the first time to show it is activated. Following this mode, the light will blink green every 3.5 seconds to indicate the Ozonator™ is in the standby mode. Your Ozonator™ will automatically cycle between standby mode (blinking green) and active mode (solid green).
You then simply place your unit on the top shelf on your refrigerator and forget it, you only need to remove to change the batteries every 4 months.
It will not take you long to notice a fresh smell in your refrigerator and you will start to also be aware that your fresh produce is lasting longer and you are not throwing away spoiled food as much. The Green Refrigerator Machine is a super easy way to eliminate odors and destroy mold and bacteria in your refrigerator

My little guys like tractors and they love John Deere Tractors. In our home you will find trucks, cars and tractors of every size and shape, you will also see many of the familiar green and yellow tractors that are none other than John Deere. Still like the old saying, my boys feel, there is always room for one more. Now add some rumble and roar to a toy tractor and you have a happy boy. The John Deere Roar and Rumble Tractor packs a little extra punch and has a simulated exhaust that creates “smoke” from tap water. This smoking exhaust feature is beyond big in our house. The tractor comes with a little plastic beaker that fits little hands perfectly and has a little spout that makes pouring easy and accurate. This tractor has it all: lights, rumbling action, sound and simulated smoke rising from the exhaust! If you are looking for a tractor that is sure to put a smile on any little boy’s face…you will certainly find it at Green Farm Toys with the John Deere Roar and Rumble Tractor!

The Flu has been brutal this year. I really don’t remember anything like this, most people I know have been sick for what seems like a month with it. Since mid to late November it seems every other Facebook status on my news feed was about people being so sick. Right before Thanksgiving I came down with what I think was the flu, I was not bedridden but it took my voice completely away for about 5-7 days and gave me that hacking your lungs up cough. I work from home so I was able to keep my normal routine thankful I did not have to leave my home, but was sick for about 2 weeks which is highly unusual for me. I felt better and went to the doctor for my physical the few days I was feeling semi normal again. My doctor said she said she could still see some pharyngitis and prescribed an antibiotic which cleared up my throat and ears but days later my kids and husband were sick again and so was I. What I found out is that this strain of flu mutates and so people get well and then quickly become sick again with a mutated form. So sick again for another 2 weeks of the same and then believe it or not I went to the doctor and they gave me a flu shot after all that.
Anyway with all this gunk going around I think it is wise we talk about RSV. Do you know what RSV is? RSV stands for Respiratory Syncytial Virus which is a seasonal virus that is prevalent from November through March, is highly contagious and affects 2/3rds of children by one year of age and nearly 100% of kids by 2 years of age. RSV can live on surfaces like counter tops, bedding, doorknobs, toys and more for several hours and is spread easily through touching, kissing and hugging. Children in daycare are at very high risk of contracting RSV due to all the sharing of toys, high chairs, eating and sleeping in close quarters.
RSV causes mild to moderate cold like symptoms in most children that will run the course without causing parents to be alarmed. However in premature infants, contracting RSV can be extremely serious. Once contracted there is no treatment for RSV so prevention is key. RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalization and responsible for up to 125,000 hospitalizations and 500 deaths each year. Parents of babies who are high risk for RSV should consider other options than day care like in home care or a nanny where they will not be exposed to risk factors prevalent in a day care situation. Care should be taken to keep things clean and sanitary and frequent hand washing to prevent the spread of any illness including RSV. For more information on RSV, you can click HERE for an informative fact sheet.
I remember when Luke was born, even though he was full term and just shy of 8lbs he lost a lot of weight and at 5 days when he was admitted to pediatrics for his jaundice, he was only a bit over 5 lbs and at high risk for RSV since it was the very end of December. I was a wreck having him there but we had no choice because his levels were so high the pediatrician would not let us treat at home. I was a maniac making sure everyone knew we had a tiny newborn and for all the nurses and hospital staff to wash their hands before touching anything in the room. My husband or myself were always present and chose to take care of nearly every task regarding our baby rather than having nurses or staff tend to him. Thankfully, we got our little guy home safe and healthy but it was scary thinking of the danger. I believe there were a couple of children that were on the ward with RSV which freaked me out.
Since prevention is the best course of action, it is imperative to follow good hygienic practices and wash hands thoroughly, clean toys and surfaces to keep germs to a minimum and limit visitors and of course do not let anyone will cold like symptoms around premature or newborn babies. To learn more please visit RSVProtection.com. As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I challenge you not to yawn as you read the first few pages of Dr. Seuss’s Sleep Book and learn about the contagious, chain reaction of yawns started by a bug who yawned so wide you could see down his neck. This book is all about drifting to sleep no matter the creature they all enjoy being a sleeper. This is a wonderful book for reading to your little ones that ends showing a picture of a house with a light on in one window and tells them that when their light is out and they are sleeping in bed their number will be added to the tally of those sleeping and slumbering all over the world.

I have long been a fan of the way ginger is very soothing and healing to upset tummies. All Natural Ginger Tummydrops are a great way to ease occasional stomach upset, nausea, morning sickness, & motion sickness. Handy to just carry with you, the drops are delicious like gingerbread with a kick and will start to work right away to tame the tummy blues.
While prescription medications are available, many of our patients come to us asking what natural options exist.
Fortunately, Mother Nature has provided an answer in the form of Zingiber officinale, better known as ginger. Prized for its culinary uses, the root-like structure of ginger, called a rhizome, contains multiple active substances, including gingerol, which may assist with occasional nausea and vomiting.
When formulating our drops, we started by carefully selecting a natural and potent source of gingerol. Next, we added premium natural ingredients to complement the natural taste of the ginger. The result is an easy to carry, great tasting drop that you can take anywhere. So the next time an upset stomach tries to ruin your day, you’ll be prepared.
Tummydrops also has all natural peppermint drops with a special blend of peppermint oil that can help ease occasional upset stomach issues, cramps, nausea, bloating and urgency. The peppermint drops taste great and wow, they are potent, they could probably work better and longer than any breath mint you would ever try. After sucking on one of these drops I almost wanted to be a “close talker” because of how fresh and minty my breath was.
For centuries, people have turned to Mentha piperita, better known as peppermint, for relief. Along with its great taste, peppermint oil may assist with common, occasional digestive complaints including cramps, urgency, nausea, and bloating.
We specially designed each all-natural, individually wrapped drop to deliver a potent dose of premium peppermint oil. Be sure to take plenty of these great-tasting drops with you wherever you go – your tummy is sure to thank you!
To you and your tummy, Dustin G. James, MD and Michael E. Presti, MD FACP Board-Certified Gastroenterologists and creators of tummy drops
All-natural! Brown rice syrup, dried cane syrup, natural peppermint oil (proprietary blend), and other natural flavors.Only 10 calories each (zero weight watchers points), fat and cholesterol free, GLUTEN-FREE
