When I saw this I, as a chronic migraine sufferer, jumped at the chance to try it. i was already two days deep into one. It couldn't have arrived at a better time.
Within twenty minutes I was feeling the effects. The blurred vision and halos that I often associate with a migraine Began to fade and the stabbing pain was reduced to a dull roar. Within 45 minutes it was gone. What a welcome relief.
I have tried countless over the counter migraine and headaches pain relievers and this is the first that works, and at a price point a person can afford.

Moms Ultimate Calander: A review.
In the interest of organisation, I always purchase a new calendar for September. This may seem counter-intuitive to some people, as the new year doesn't start for another four months but the school year starts in September and I like to lay it all out when I get that schedule. Plus, most calendars start in September anyways. This year I am using Mother Words Moms Ultimate Calander.

I purchased this calendar for a few reasons. I was excited about the size of it, from the pictures it looked like it had large date squares with a lot of room to write down information. It also came with hundreds of stickers for what appeared to be every occasion. I also was happy to see that it had a magnet so I could easily put it on my fridge. I was a tad confused as this one was slightly more expensive than the larger calendar by the same company but went with this one because the other seemed like overkill.
The first thing I sat down and did was birthdays. I went through the whole calendar and marked them all down. I was pleased to find out that there were more than enough stickers for all of my family birthdays. We have a relatively large family so I am happy to be able to put a sticker for everyone and still have a few left to spare for the people whom I inevitably forgot. - it happens every year - From there I went and added the school calendar, this was after all the original meaning of this calendar. Initially, I thought that I would run out of stickers when it came to non-school days, but as it turns out my kids don't actually get that many days off of school. It must just FEEL like there are a tonne.
After laying out everything I could for the year I focused on September. I am big on colour coding, so everyone got a colour and I went about adding individual appointments and activities for the month. I am impressed still by the amount of room available for writing. As of yet, I have only run out of space twice in the upcoming months, but there are days that are split at the end of the month.
When I went to hang it on the fridge is the first time I found an issue. Although this is probably again due to my inability to read things. I bought the calendar for a side-by-side fridge. Which I do not have. So when it on my fridge it is just a tiny bit too large to fit on the freezer portion. Not a real problem, and easily fixed by moving it or have the proper fridge.
Notes:
Buy the calendar for the fridge you have if you intend on hanging it on the fridge at least.
The stickers are extremely difficult to remove from the sheet one at a time.
The stickers fall off the sticker sheet and end up all over the place.
Wish List
Better stickers: The stickers literally fall off the sheet when in storage.
1/2 inch smaller and it would fit perfectly on my fridge, once again it is made for a side-by-side fridge, but it would be more universal if it was just a tad smaller.
Love It
The size of the days are huge, tonnes of room to write all of my families activities and appointments.
Days are divided slightly, giving an optimal space to adhere the stickers.
Stickers; there are over 500 in this version. More than enough to cover everything.
Swear Factor
1/10 - Due entirely to the fact that still find random stickers randomly throughout my house despite the fact that they are stored on top of my fridge.
At the end of the day, this is the best calendar that I have purchased to date and I will 100% buy this, or at least a version of this for future years.

Baby Brezza Formula Pro

When I first heard about the Baby Breeza Formula Pro we had just taken our son off of formula, but I was certainly intrigued. I loved the concept. Bottles at the touch of a button, mixed and to temperature. It sounded almost too good to be true, but alas, I had no reason for it anymore. When I got pregnant with our baby I thought of it almost immediately. I began researching it, and the reviews I found were mixed, but positive seemed to outweigh the negative. I wanted to try it for myself but the price of $199.99 it was far out of my price range. Then a wonderful friend of mine bought it for me as a gift.
About a week before our baby was born I set it up. First I read the directions cover to cover, they were well written and easy to follow. Then I sterilized all the pieces that would be exposed to water or formula, and I left them to dry overnight. I filled up the water canister and ran a full container through it to ensure all the inside pieces were clean as well. Nothing happened. That is when the first swear came in. Turns out the directions only help when you read them, and I didn't give them to my husband before asking him to put the formula dispenser together. They have to be in the exact right order or it doesn't work. Once that was fixed it worked perfectly and I was immediately impressed with how quickly it made a 10 oz bottle. It took seconds compared to the minutes it would take to do the same by hand.
When filling up the formula holder I discovered that it held a full container of formula. This was great news, as I now knew that I wouldn't have half full containers of formula on my counter. From the minute we mixed our first bottles, even Blayne was impressed, and he was my hardest sell, he wasn't comfortable with losing "control" over how the formula was mixed.
My biggest complaint is the size of the water canister. At 50ml even when making bottles for a newborn it empties quickly. When bottle size increases I know it will have to be refilled often.
My biggest rave would be how quickly it makes bottles. While we are only using it for 2/4 oz bottles at this point the time it takes to make bottles is even less than it would take to even warm up a bottle our old way.
Notes
The mixing of the formula to the water causes it to be dispensed in a 'swirl' motion, so if the holder isn't high enough it doesn't all make it into the bottle.
There is no alarm if something isn't right. If the water canister isn't right you get a bottle of straight powder.
The bottle holder has to be moved up or down to accommodate the size of the bottle needed. Unless the bottle holder is firmly locked into place you risk losing the whole bottle onto the counter. Something we learned after losing 2 bottles worth of formula.
Powder formula is sticky, so it needs to be cleaned daily. This only takes about 15 seconds but it does need to be done.
Wish List
Lower price - at $199.99 it is a very big purchase for a lot of families, especially when there are already so many other large purchases to make at this time, and this one is a luxury, not a necessity.
Small water canister - My coffee pot has a bigger water canister, this already needs to be filled up daily and we are only making 2 and 4 oz bottles.
An alarm - or even a light to tell you if something isn't proper before you get a bottle full of nothing.
Glowing Buttons - Specifically the mix button, it would make those middle of the night feedings slightly easier.
Love it
Directions - The directions are wonderfully laid out and easy to follow, so even in a sleep deprived state you're able to follow them,
Fast - less than 30 seconds and you can have a 10 oz bottle warm and ready to drink. When you have a screaming baby at 3 am there is nothing better than quick.
Formula - Holds a full container, of my brand anyways, so no half full containers on the counter deceiving you about how much you have in reserve. Something you don't want to find out you're out of in the middle of the night.
Swear Factor
2/10 - This is mostly due to my inability to read, or pass directions. Still, even at that, I would say that this is a fantastically low rating.
When we first were talking about the Breeza, Blayne was against it. Making bottles isn't necessarily a hard or time-consuming task but by day one he was sold. He can not speak highly enough of the Breeza and brags about it at every opportunity. I have to agree, the pros far outweigh the cons , and if it wasn't for the price is would be our go-to baby gift.
