Dr. Brown bottles

When my son was born, we tried many bottles. He always sounded like he was drowning, had a lot of gas issues and cried often. Granted he was a newborn, however, I knew something wasn't right.

So one afternoon, my husband ran out and got Dr. Brown bottles. Right from the start, Jason sounded better and less gas. We also use Gentle Soothe formula. Between both, his feedings have been so much easier. 

Soon we will be introducing baby food and the six month nipples for the bottles. My how time flies!

Free slurpees

What do you do when it's super hot outside? Do you think about drinking a nice cold slurpee from 7 Eleven? July 11 is actually slurpee day. It is very fitting because July is the seventh month and on the eleventh day.

7 Eleven is offering free small slurpees to everyone on slurpee day. Just go in between the hours of 11am to 7pm and ask for your free slurpee. They are gluten free. Remember one per customer. Don't forget to stop in and pick one up.

In 1967, 7 Eleven licensed the slurpee from Icee. Slushed drinks came from when Omar Knedilk had a broken soda machine in the 1950s. He put his soda in the freezer and out came a slushed soda. Customers loved the taste and wanted more. It was then that the slurpee was born!

 Rumor has it that the free slurpee is going to be bigger this year. Here is an interesting but random fact: in Australia 6.6 million slurpees are sold each year! Hard to even imagine., Slurpees are delicious ice drinks. One can choose from a multitude of flavors. It makes a wonderful treat for a really hot day. Have fun and take the family!

Ice cream for dinner

Pick one night a summer to have ice cream for dinner. You could go out for ice cream or buy a few flavors with assorted toppings. Make it like a buffet style. Your kids will love it and it will be a wonderful memory!

Laura likes the idea even though she isn't a big ice cream eater.
