Introducing the Child Fever Bookmark - the perfect tool for parents and caregivers! The bookmark provides helpful information on how to manage and treat child fevers under common circumstances. Fevers in children can be a cause of worry for parents and caregivers, often being the first physical sign/symptom of illness or infection in the body. This bookmark provides valuable information on how to determine if a child has a fever, what temperature is considered a fever, and when to seek medical attention. The Child Fever Bookmark also includes tips on how to manage a child's fever, such as keeping them hydrated and comfortable, and potential medications to administer. The bookmark is made of durable cardstock that comes in a clear sleeve and features bright, easy-to-read graphics and text. It's the perfect size to fit in any book, tack on the inside of any medicine cabinet or fasten onto the fridge with a magnet. The bookmark has information on both the front and the back that parents/caregivers can easily reference when their child has a fever. Created by a mother who made her own illustration when her kids were small and tacked it to the inside of her medicine cabinet. She simply thought that other parents may benefit from having this helpful information handy when their child has a fever given that during these times, parents are often stressed, worried and tired. The infographic may save some time looking through multiple websites to 'know what to do next', keeping the most common steps right in one handy place. This bookmark is 76.2mm x 203.2mm (3 inches x 8 inches).
PROBIOTICS could ease hay fever symptoms, research shows. Some “friendly” bacteria, which can be taken in supplement pills, can help reduce blocked noses, itching and sneezing, experts believe. Lactobacillus acidophilus — available from around 11p per tablet — reduced symptoms in sufferers, a review of 31 studies and...
A simple shoe cabinet was becoming a dumping ground for recycling— and not much style. Jeremy decided to use temporary wallpaper to transform this little corner into something more rustic mid-century: From Jeremy: I bought the shoe cabinet from Wayfair to, obviously, reign in our (fab) shoe collection. While it’s been great and done its job admirably, it’s not very attractive (and it ends being a place to dump our recycling!).
My goal for today was to work in the garden all day long. Well, Mother Nature put the kabosh on that - cold wind throughout the da...

I'm on a new treasure hunt. . . .for a Hoosier style kitchen cabinet. I've been thinking about it for a while, but when I saw this Hoosier Desk at Penny's Vintage Home, I was convinced I needed one. . . .possibly as a desk. . . . definitely as a work center. How many have I passed up over the years in antique malls and flea markets? Probably hundreds. . . I've owned quite a few in the past, too. . . . ended up selling them everytime I moved. I've moved a lot over the years. There are parts and pieces of the cabinets stored here at the farm. . . . just not one in good shape. Now that the keeping room is finished with all it's sparkling white cabinets, the Baker's Cabinet just doesn't fit anymore. Well, okay, it fits but a painted cabinet would look so much better. It's a true antique--from the late 1800s-early 1900s. No way will I put the paint to it. In all my years of seeing Hoosiers, I've never checked on the history of them. . . As it turns out, the origin of the Hoosiers can be traced back to Baker's Cabinets such as ours. . . . The lower section is a kitchen table with drawers and two large metal-lined bins for flour and meal. . . . The upper section has drawers and doors for storing spices, utensils, and other baking needs. Certainly not as much storage space as the Hoosiers. As the Baker's Cabinet evolved into the Hoosier style, the lower sections were replaced with a base that had a door on one side. . . . The upper section was divided into storage areas with wood and/or glass doors. Early cabinets had a row of small drawers below the doors. The wood table tops of the early Hoosiers were coverd with zinc sheet metal. . . . Then aluminum. . . .and, finally porcelain tops that pulled out for added work space. Later additions included built-in flour sifters, sugar containers, and spice jars. I have another reason for wanting a Hoosier style cabinet. . . . I was to USE it! I do use the Baker's Cabinet. . . .but not as often as I'd like. It has a wooden top--not easy to work on. . . .easily scratched. . . . flour gets stuck in between the cracks in the boards. . . . Porcelain tops are fabulous. . . .They're heat resistant, easy to clean, smooth enough to roll out dough, and a great place to cool cookies or canning jars. Yes, I NEED one. . . . That's my new treasure hunt. Where or when it pops up, goodness knows. It will certainly be fun looking, though. . . . I feel a road trip coming on. . . .from my farmhouse to yours. . . Several have asked me about my coffee canister. I found a great site that sells original glass canisters and spice jars at: Hoosier Cabinet Dot Com Check it out!
