A Visit to the Doctor

>> Sunday, July 24, 2011

When you visit the doctors office with your child for their first checkup there are a few things for you to know to help make it easier. The doctor will measure your child sometimes using a stadiometer to know how tall they are. This will be recorded along with their weight. This is very similar to your checkups but they will also monitor the child's growth. They may measure their head size and other items to know how they are growing and if they are growing properly. Staying calm for your child will help them to stay calm as well.

Figured Out Something New

>> Saturday, July 16, 2011

With today's technology there are all kinds of neat things out there. Just today I was introduced to a new app on my Droid X2 cell phone. It was a barcode scanner and now when I am in a store, I can just scan what I am thinking of buying, and this new app will give me the prices of this same item at other places. This makes it so easy to compare prices now and know you're getting the best deal. What makes it even nicer is I no longer have to store hop and waste tons of time. Then I no longer have to worry if I found the best deal.

Doing the full Disney vacation this time around

>> Sunday, July 10, 2011

Guest post written by Greg Holloway

In years past when we went to Orlando for vacation, we would just spend a few days at Disney and spend a lot of time doing other things. But, this year my kids wanted to stay at Disney and just spend our whole vacation there so that we could see things that we've missed doing on other years when we've been. I thought that sounded like a pretty good idea, so I agreed to it. There were lots of things that I had wished I had done in years past too.
When I was doing research on which Disney resort we should stay at for our vacation, I saw the website wirelessinternet.NET. After I read it a little bit, I decided to change over our home internet service to it.
There's also this one Disney restaurant in our hotel that I decided on that's just supposed to be pretty amazing, so we're going to have to go there. I'm a pretty big foodie so the kids will just have to indulge me and sit through a nice dinner.
