Review : Temporal Scanner

****The Giveaway is now closed!***
Going through my bathroom drawer the other day, I found 4 different thermometers. And old school "wait for 3 minutes" kind, one for the ear, one for the mouth, and one for the rear. (poor babies) The last three actually had dead batteries that I never bothered to replace because I hated how they worked. It always seemed that the temp they took just wasn't right, and it varied immensely. The ear one never really worked for my little kids even though that's what it was hyped up to do well, and the mouth/underarm one took to long to use on my active baby and even worse when he turned toddler.

So when MomFuse asked me to try out the Exergen Temporal Scanner, I was pumped!

This little scanner is actually pretty nifty! As soon as I got it, I pulled it out, quick read over the instructions, called Cody over, and proceeded to do it wrong. Read instructions again. "Oh! Hold the button while moving. Duh!" Tried again. Perfect.

All you have to do is hold it in the middle of the forehead, hold the button, and swipe to the hairline. It takes all of a few seconds and you have your temp. No more holding down little ones trying to get a decent reading! This really seems to be the all around great temp taker for a household. No more trying to keep rectal thermometers separate! One device can take the whole family's temps.

I really liked how easy this was to use. And one of my lucky readers will too! Because the nice folks at Exergen are letting me give one away! How cool is that right?

DaBib is Da Bomb! *plus a giveaway*

We've used a lot of bibs in the 2 years since Cody was born. Some worked better than others, but this one from DaBib, I would have loved to use during those first feeding months!
This bib actually has a soft, scrunchy neck so food doesn't dribble down the chin and neck and stain the collars of all of baby's clothes. Along with that awesome feature, it also has a flip forward crumb catcher and super cute styles. Like real style. Not crazy bright kid colors or anything.

Now, I had them send me a pink one to check out since we'll be having a little girl here in a few short weeks. But I wanted to really test it our for you. So just don't tell my hubby I put a pink bib on our son!

I thought the coverage was nice, and the crumb catcher worked for those little spills, but the neck on it impressed me the most! And for only $12.99 these would make a great shower gift, or you could even add it to your own online universal wishlist!

And now to make this even cooler for you, Shea, the owner of Dabib, is going to be giving away one of these cool bibs to one of my lucky readers! You'll be able to choose one bib in the style of your choice!
