7 Drugs That Can Kill Kids in a Single Pill
Jennifer Brandt Herschko
According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers in 2002 there were 2.4 million toxic ingestions, and more than half of these occurred in children younger than 6. Children aged 18 to 36 months seemed to be at the highest risk, and in these little bodies, just one pill can be deadly.
Even more worrisome is the fact that, after taking some of these pills, a child can appear perfectly fine until it is too late.
-Recognize the high risk of accidental ingestions and be prepared to act.
-Call 911 immediately, experts say, or call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
-Parents should also be prepared to take their child to the hospital immediately, and they should bring the bottle of whatever the child took in the ambulance and to the ER.
-Note: New guidelines from the American Association of Pediatrics urge against the use of Ipecac or any other mechanism to induce vomiting.

Hey All u mamas out there..I've been looking for some online curriculum or online preschool. My son is really loving the computer and I tried out the Nickjrboost.com but it doesn't seem to keep
his attention all too well. It has lots of in between time...loading and all. If any of you have had any success with some online preschool please please let me know! =D Thanks!
I
Too funny is that this is how the noodles landed after I drained them out...I had to take a picture!
I'm so sorry I've gotten so wrapped up in all of this sewing...it's really become a favorite past time for me and I'm afraid this blog has turned into a sewing blog of sorts and I don't really want it to be so what I am going to do is start a new sewing blog so that I don't get all mixed up here. I still want to keep this one for helpful tips and mama stuff! So no more sewing posts on here! LOL!!! Sorry, I got carried away....hee hee ~ IF ur still interested in seeing my sewing projects I will post a link to the new blog soon!
I have been so happy on this new journey of sewing...although my back has been killing me because i don't have the right setup yet....i have been delighted with my new creations---here are a few of them...
From this......
to this.....
and this...
So here's one of the patterns i found and guess how much I paid.....50 cents! Yep I went to the thrift shop on the corner to see if by any chance they sold fabric and sure enough they do sell scraps by the bags...AND they had a box full of vintage sewing patterns. I bought 4 (ONLY) because i was just browsing not buying that day ~~low on cash~~ lol---but still I'm going back on friday (Payday)~~wooooohooo!
here's where I am so far...
granted I made a few changes to it since i'm only a beginner...
Here's some more stuff I've been working on:
K so I drank a VENTI white chocolate mocha frappuccino today at 7PM!! Yeah Yeah I know...what were u thinking. Bleck! Ok ok so now I'm up late w/ heartburn and too much on my mind. Just thought I'd share this AMAZING pattern (idea) that I thought might save you mommies some mula $$ CHACHING! $$ Especially if you are a mommy of a toddler who goes to the potty at the very last minute and has accidents if his pants are too difficult to take off right before he goes potty....well that's me and I found this awesome awesome site that shows you how to make some little drawstring pants out of old t-shirts or sweaters! WOW! I am so trying this tomorrow and my son is SO wearing them. They work great too as a back-up pair to throw in your bag or to sew up if you are lost in a jungle with no extra clothes for your child (I don't know why you would be in the jungle with your child...it's late and there is too much caffeine in this body...) Anywho.... yeah these just caught my attention tonight because my son had an accident in our toddler class tonight at church...poor guy. But he's ok and I found a backup pair of pants in my car. Phew! I am making a load of these for my cutie...
Here's the site if you are interested!!!! Tell me what you think? Will anyone one else be giving this kiddo pants a try?
Rookie Moms.com <----that's me and that's why i made this blog site so i can LEARN---so if you have any tips out there ---- =D
Thank you Thank you Rookiemoms.com For helping me in my learning process!!!!

So Here's another little thing I've learned to sew. Wow! Who knew sewing could be so addicting!? I love it! And I am so excited about what I've made. It just feels so much more personal giving someone a gift that you made as opposed to buying one last minute, stuffing it in a bag and rushing on over to the party...well what I am talking about is that I went to a baby shower yesterday (despite the scary road conditions)
On the way home there were 2 cars in the ditch...I'm so glad it wasn't me~~I woulda freaked out!
Anyway, so I crocheted a hat and sewed up a little skirt. The pics I am posting aren't the exact gift but very similar...I later sewed the shirt to go w/ the skirt because the outfit felt so incomplete. I am so excited about all this crafting! I am having so much fun...Here is the pictures of what I made~ Also I am now selling this crocheted hat on Etsy.com ...Check it out if you'd like! I'm so happy that i have finally found something to do with my artistic skills to good use. I am also glad to have found so many other bloggers out there to help me start this wonderful journey...
If you are interested in buying this little newborn beanie head on over to My Etsy Shop =D
Now I'm off to some more free pattern websites for more ideas!
In these pictures above I found this really neat idea for ribbon flowers. You should really try it...I bet u can't make just one...lol
So I put it together with the crocheted baby beanie and I also used to add a little something to the shirt for the baby outfit...
here are a few links for where I got these Ideas from =D Enjoy and let me know what u think I'm just a beginner so i can use a lot of help!!!
The top part of the shirt I got the idea from the Itty bitty baby dress pattern on the Made By Rae blog and I found the crochet pattern here at Crochet N More. And for the ribbon flowers here's your link at the Little Birdie Secrets Blog. Have fun =D Thanks for stopping by!

This purse I took the pattern from is on this site:
Of course it's not exactly the same b/c I did it my own way...but i didn't know how to sew a bag at all. So I just took the basic idea and ran with it...=D
Here is the link for the peasant style blouse....Awesome tutorial by the way thank you to Tess from
Stop by her site for this downloadable .pdf file of the tutorial...
I am actually very excited because each of these cost way under $2 to make! If I knew clothes and purses could be so cheap, I would have bought this sewing maching A LONG TIME AGO.
I'm so happy w/ it. I now have to find my signature piece that I can sell. I love art and that's what i want to do!
Yay! I'm So excited. I finally got a sewing machine...Yay!!! And right away I gave it a try. Mind u I am a complete novice at this but here is one of my first projects.
Ok here it is....I found this pattern for a critter you can make out of a glove. It was the cutest thing. Ok ok so the first one I made came out kinda funky so I'm not gonna post a picture....I'll post my second one. =D Oh yeah and the link for the tutorial is at the bottom of this blog post! Enjoy!
And here he is....my little critter made from a glove. What do you think?? =D
Next...I made a bunny...or tried to make one haha. The legs were a bit skinny and long but my son loved it...and for now...that's all that matters....my next project a PURSE. =DK So here's where I found it... on Etsy's very own blog! here's a link to the tutorial... HERE =D Enjoy!
