Coromega Kids Omega 3 Review & Prize Pack Giveaway (ENDED)

I try to watch my family’s diet and get as many essential nutrients into our meals as possible.  Much to my disappointment, one thing that my kids don’t LOVE to eat is fish.  I still want them to get all of the great Omega 3 Fatty Acids that you’ll find in fish because I know the many benefits of these “good fats” like good brain and eye development, healthy joints and overall growth and development.

We’ve tried many supplements, but one of the issues that we have is that they don’t care for the taste of straight fish oil and neither of them will take large pills, so capsules are out of the question.

Coromega Kids has come up with a WONDERFUL Omega supplement that my kids ASK for more of! They love both the orange and the lime flavor, but my daughter likes the orange best.  They come in handy single packets that they can squeeze straight into their mouth or into a smoothie.  They actually consider THIS supplement a treat and that’s a DEFINITE treat for me! Coromega Kids is formulated with  200 mg DHA and 36 mg EPA. A 5:1 ratio.  The best part of how tasty they are is that they do not contain any sugar or artificial sweeteners!
You can buy Coromega Omega3 for Kids at the Coromega Store online for $24.95/30 pouches.  You can also find other retailers here.

Guest Post – Jade from AHH! Products talks about bean bags and ADHD/Autism

As the owner of AHH! Products (as in ahh…that bean bag is comfy), I have the daily pleasure of speaking to parents about how our bean bag chairs are adored by kids worldwide. It’s all fun and games usually, but about once a week I get to talk to a grateful parent who has a child dealing with ADHD, autism, and other sensory integration issues. Just last week I received this note: “We bought your giant bean bag for our daughter years ago who has severe ADHD and other learning disabilities including autism and we absolutely love it! It’s really been a life saver for us to get her focus and help her to learn – she can wiggle around in it and doesn’t have to sit still. Thanks, C.E.” That just makes my day!

It turns out that bean bags are perfect for kids who just cannot sit still in a rigid, straight-back chair. Bean bag chairs allow them to change position quickly and easily, so they don’t have to stop focusing on what they’re doing (reading, etc.). Bean bags also offer that feeling of being cuddled and safe. It is important for me to offer very soft fabrics to give tactile comfort, as well as soothing colors that help calm frazzled kids. Bean bags can be transported around the house by little hands so they have a feeling of ownership and can take their “nest” to any room. Every chair we offer also has a washable cover and a water-repellent liner that holds the filling. The bean bag liner zipper is child-resistant and our bean bags meet or exceed flammability standards. Plus, they’re all assembled in the U.S.A..

A few years ago, the Washington Post featured us in an article about bean bags helping ADHD children, which first spurred us on to really focus on this aspect of bean bag furniture. We will continue to try to help for years to come (12 years strong so far!). I, and everyone at AHH! Products, congratulate all the families making it work for their kids and hope to be a helpful part of your lives!

Yours Truly, Jade

AAH! Spot Bean Bags Review and $75 Gift Certificate Giveaway (ENDED)

The winner of this giveaway is @fancygrlnancy -Congratulations!

Both of my kids have sensory issues and it seems like I’m always looking for creative ways to help them feel comfortable AND productive.  Homework time is sometimes a big struggle for us, as is quiet reading time.  I’ve found that what helps is for them to find what makes them comfortable while doing these things and letting them have their own space during.  The AHH! Spot Bean Bag Chair has been awesome for us! He has been reading and even doing his homework on it.  He likes to lie across it with the homework on the floor and to recline in it with his legs crossed for reading.  It’s also great for downtime while watching TV and hanging out with the family.  I’ve always wanted to get a bean bag chair, but I’ve been hesitant of the kind that don’t have washable covers because we have pets and kids make messes, so the fact that AHH! Spot Bean Bag Chairs have removable, washable covers is a BIG plus!

My son has been really enjoying his AHH! Spot and we’ve been enjoying a calmer, less stressed homework time!  There are four different sizes of the AHH! Spot Bean Bag.  We have the Premium 37 inch with the Cuddle Bubble Bean fabric AHH! Spot Bean Bag.  It’s SO pretty and so soft!
