Drugs.com – a review

review Comments Off
Jan 202009

If you are currently taking medications or you are related to someone who is, you hopefully know the possibility of one or more of them interacting negatively.  The results could be catastrophic.  Drugs.com knows that and has a great tool called Med Notes to help watch out for that.  In fact, as soon as I entered my prescriptions and vitamins into it, it let me know right away that there are potential problems with the combination I’m taking, so I will be calling my doctor tomorrow to discuss it!

The other great thing about Drugs.com is that you can look up virtually any medication you can think of, in case you have to empty out that medicine cabinet and can’t remember what you were taking something for, or for an elderly relative with a counter full of medications, but no clue as to why they’re taking them all.  Not sure what a specific pill is? You can even look it up by it’s appearance!

Best of all – IT’s ALL FREE! So you have nothing to lose, and might even learn something!

I love movies. I really love fun, exciting adventure movies – and throw in hunky Brendan Frasier and I’m SO there! 

Inkheart looks like such a fun movie, I’m really looking forward to it coming out so I can take Anthony to it.   It opens January 23rd, and hopefully our local theater will carry it that weekend!

New Year’s Resolutions

cozi One of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is getting organized in the new year.  Everyone (including me!) wants to be organized.  But sometimes, it’s really hard to know where to start.  I know I find that making that first step is the hardest.  So I was really glad to learn about Cozi a few months ago. 

Cozi is an online organizational tool that gives you all the tools you need to get at least some part of your life organized.  Color coded calendars, shopping lists, family journals and even an incredible desktop screensaver program that allows you to cycle through your photos in a collage that’s just such a nice surprise to walk in to when you’ve left your computer for a while. (Yes, believe it or not, I really DO leave my computer from time to time. lol)

In addition to the ways that moms can get their shopping lists and calendars already on any mobile phone via text message and using our toll free number, Cozi now has a mobile version especially for the iPhone and Windows Mobile phones.  Families can now sign-in and access their Cozi account using their mobile web browsers.   They can add and edit shopping lists and view and edit their family calendar using the mobile version of Cozi right from their iPhone.  This is a new feature! You can learn more about it here:    http://www.cozi.com/Promo-Cozi-Mobile.htm

But the best part of any blog post is the part about the contest, right? So here it is:

Use Cozi to manage and coordinate all the things your busy family wants and needs to do this year. And if you do so before February 4, you’re automatically entered to win a 2-day in-home organization makeover with one of the country’s top organization pros and author of Eliminate Chaos: The 10-Step Process to Organize Your Home and Life

How it works:

  • Use Cozi before February 4 (add or edit a calendar appointment, add or edit a list, send a quick message, sync your Cozi calendar with Outlook, add or edit a family journal post, or run the Cozi Collage screen saver)
  • You’re automatically entered to win
  • It’s that easy!

A whole new level of gaming

Gamestop

Through some pretty amazing luck on my part, we are finally the proud owners of a Nintendo Wii and WiiFit and can I just say I LOVE IT!   We all do.  Fortunately for us, we have a GameStop store in town, and we’re in there every few days checking out all the cool stuff you can get for the Wii & Wii Fit.

One of the things I’ve been waiting for them to get new stock on is the silicone cover that goes on the Balance Board – but they have such a great selection of accessories for the Wii, as well as every single other game system you can think of, that we rarely walk out empty handed.

With the huge popularity of “active” gaming, this January, GameStop is offering a “Sharpen the Mind, Shape the Body.” initiative for the whole month that includes a special incentive to discover active gaming. So you can stop by a local store and demo a range of titles that match your interests and skill level.

As a special incentive, all shoppers who spend $35 or more on designated products will receive a free 12-month trial subscription to their choice of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Redbook, Good Housekeeping or Esquire.

Now we parents can get in on the fun AND benefit from it!  I love seeing Jimmy & the kids up on their feet, playing games that get them moving.  Watching Libby bowl or box – too funny – and then there’s me – actually boxing, getting out of breath, and enjoying it LOL
