product review: braun forehead thermometer + win!

In early December I was selected by Influenster to receive the BraunTherms VoxBox. This meant that I would be the lucky recipient of a complimentary new device: the Braun Forehead Thermometer. Awesome. Honestly though? It was one VoxBox I didn't want to have to use! Fevers stay away from my house, please.

In the midst of closing on our new home, packing, and keeping our condo clean for selling, the arrival of this new gadget was the last thing on my mind. Until Christmas Eve. Sure enough, George came down with croup. On his birthday. And, all of a sudden this new little gadget meant everything. A few days later, Jack caught a terrible cold and we needed it yet again. And, then G got sick again. And Jack got sick again and well...yeah, not fun.


My review: The Braun Forehead Thermometer is now a staple in our home. My boys never liked the ear scan and I never found it to be accurate. This is so easy, non-invasive and was as accurate (for us) as the readings at the pediatrician's office. It is as simple to use as powering it on and moving the scan from forehead to temple and back. The thermometer beeps when it has a read and the display light up to guide parents on the temperature: green - no fever, yellow - elevated temperature, red - fever. The display is even backlit, so no need to turn on a light for late night scans. It's that simple.

cooking with fage...

 
I was thrilled to be selected for the FAGE Bzz Campaign for a chance to share more about our favorite yogurt. My Greek husband was brought up on FAGE and it is still, hands down, his favorite. We use it for breakfast with fruit and a bit of honey, in smoothies for our boys, to make the best tzatziki and, now, in recipes. The FAGE website has fantastic recipes by top chefs. This one is on my next try list:

Apple and Cinnamon Muffins

4.4 oz FAGE Total Yogurt
7 oz plain flour
2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
Pinch of ground nutmeg
2 tsp ground cinnamon
3.5 oz soft brown sugar
1 large egg
3.5 oz butter, melted
1 tsp imitation vanilla extract
5.3 oz chunky applesauce

Combine all dry and liquid ingredients in separate bowls.
Mix the two sets of ingredients together until evenly combined.
Spoon into muffin tin lined with paper muffin cases.
Bake in a preheated oven at 390ºF for 12 – 15 minutes until golden and firm.
Cool slightly and lightly dust with icing sugar before serving.
