A Mommy App Review

I'm always using apps on my smart phone and there are so many out there sometimes it;''s hard to find the one that is right for you and your needs. Well today I'm sharing with you a new app called A Mommy App.
A Mommy App was created by a mommy with mommies in mind and is everything you would expect from an app with this name.

The main feature of the app is the kids section where you list your children and can fill in all sorts of information about them from important milestones to likes and dislikes and even appointments. The page is fully customizable and you can change the avatar to look like your child and dress them up in fun clothes. Calleigh decided she wanted to be a princess but there are tons to choose from. You can also change the background and you can make it rain or snow too!

Another great feature is the Mommy Quiz where you can test your mommy knowledge with 200 questions and it gives you a percentage at the end so you can keep trying until you are the queen of mommy knowledge!

Calleigh's favourite part of the app is the games section. There are three games to play when you have a spare 5 minutes from mommy duties. Calleigh loves the bubble pop game and it actually keeps her quiet for a short period!

The app is great for storing all of your information about your children as well as for taking a much need five minutes for mommy- if you get chance! There is even a section for stress relief so you can unload some of that stress of the day with inspirational quotes and words of wisdom!

You can download the app on iPhone here or if you have an android you can download it here.

You can also connect with The Mommy Glow on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.

Poorly Again

Poor little Calleigh is really not having a good time at the moment. After just getting over a cold a couple of weeks ago she has now been struck down by a suspected throat infection. 

It all started last night, about midnight she just burst out crying and screaming. Nothing we tried seemed to comfort her and although she tried, she just wouldn't go back to sleep. We brought her into our bed and took her temperature. At the time it wasn't high even though it felt like you could fry and egg on her forehead. We stripped off her clothes to provide some relief but it didn't seem to make a difference as she kept wincing and looking around the room in fear. 

As a last resort we contacted the emergency helpline who seemed to think it could of been an ear infection and we were told to take her to the emergency room as this had been going on for a couple of hours. 

As we searched for the nearest one to us she fell asleep so we decided to leave her to sleep and see if she was any better in the morning. 

She slept through until about 8am but when she woke not much had changed, she still had a temperature and did not look very well at all. 

I booked into the doctors and an hour later we were sat in the doctors room whilst he did some tests to see if he could find our what was wrong. 

It wasn't an ear infection, or a strep infection but from the look of her throat he told us it was definitely some infection of the throat and prescribed her some antibiotics to fight the infection and ibuprofen to relieve the fever. 

The only place she would have a nap

She has perked up a bit now and is looking much better but the real test will be at bedtime. Here's hoping she has a good night, for her sake and ours. 

Whilst at the surgery I found a leaflet about a handy little app for keeping track of your little ones health and well-being. It called Kid's Wellness and is free to download in the App Store. 

I have used it track what immunisations she has had and also to note what symptoms she is having and what medication she is currently taking. 

You can also use it to track height, weight and bmi and it shows a chart so you can make sure they are on the right track.
