I know there are many different opinions about the flu shot and whether it is necessary or not but I think it is important for young children. I think it is even more important if there is a history of asthma in the family because there are so many illnesses of pnuemonia that are caused from the flu virus every year. Neither one of my children show any signs of asthma and my daughter is 3 so hopefully it would have showed up by now if she was going to be affected and it hasn’t so I am glad for that.
My son had his appointment yesterday and got his flu shot, it was really quick and he only whined for a second and that was it. My daughter still needs to go and get hers so I will be taking her soon as well. I hate for them to get poked by needles and I worry about possible side effects, etc.. but I just feel that it is in their best interest. I think the flu shot is recommended up until age 5 but then wont they be more likely to get the flu once they start school? Hmmmm.. It is okay for anyone to get one but the young and elderly just need them more so maybe they will continue through their school age years as well.
I have spoken a lot about what I have wanted to dress my children up as for Halloween but there are just so many Childrens Costumes that my feelings have changed. My children love Halloween and to look at all of the awesome decorations and especially dressing up and going out to get some candy. Another part of Halloween that is really fun to them is the pumpkin carving and baking Halloween cookies/cakes. I want this to be a really memorable Holiday and for them to enjoy it as well as get some great pictures out of it.
There are so many different Halloween Costume Stores out there that it can be a struggle to find the right place to shop. At HalloweenAdventure.com you can find such a wide variety of costumes that everyone is sure to find exactly what they want and for their specific budget as well. That way you can find something for everyone at one easy place. I have my childrens costumes already and my daughter is going to be a cute little angel with wings and a halo while my son is going to wear a nice warm pumpkin costume. I hope everyone has a great Halloween and posts comments about their own Halloween experiences!
A while back I wrote about wanting to either quit taking my birth control or switch to a new kind. Well I ended up going to my appointment a little more than a week ago and ended up getting a new type of pill. My check up went fine and she gave me a lab sheet to check my potassium since Yaz can affect that, but it came back fine as well. The only reason I never switched sooner was because it did a good job at keeping me from getting pregnant.
Well anyways I ended up getting Microgestin FE 1/20. I wanted to try Loestrin 24 FE but my insurance didn’t cover that and it can cost 50 something dollars a month so she gave me the generic to Loestrin 1/20 FE which is covered. The FE part just means that the last 7 pills of the pack are iron. I have been taking this new kind for maybe 10 days now and haven’t really had any bad symptoms, I think I might even feel better but I just hope that they do their job as well as Yaz did.
It’s amazing how many different types of pills exist out there as well as other contraceptives and it can be so frustrating to find the one that works best with your body.. if one of them doesn’t seem to be working well with your body and you have given your body the 3 months to adjust and you still don’t feel right then you should probably talk to your doctor about trying something else instead of waiting the way that i did.

With the many different holidays coming up shortly we all begin wondering about that perfect gift.

There have been a bunch of new projects going on here lately including launching many new sites. One of the sites currently launched was Some Girl Games which should be doing pretty well soon because we are getting custom made dress up games for girls. Then once they are finished being made we will be able to submit the games to many of the top girl game sites around.
Well besides all that not much else going on, just the usual. My son did hit me in the eye today with one of his toys today though. He actually did it pretty hard and I sort of lost vision in that eye for a while and it was pretty scary. That toy is going to be off limits for a while haha but of course I forgive him for it, I knew he didn’t mean to.
The weather is getting nicer and nicer, this is the time of year where it cools down and the winds start kicking in.. my favorite! I love windy and chilly weather. I’m thinking of getting a pumpkin or 2 pretty soon as well as the kids costumes, it will be a fun Halloween thing for the kids plus I can make some yummy pumpkin things after!
