Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway Exergen Temporal Scanner Review & Giveaway

Mel’s Thoughts: Since having my boys, I’ve always dreaded taking their temps, especially when they’re little, and you can’t get them to hold the oral themometer in their mouth.  I don’t feel that taking an axillary temp is as accurate, so I’ve always gone with the dreaded rectal temps when they’re little. ... [Read more of this review]

My review This is a precious book. It’s actually hard to believe a man wrote it, because it is so believable authentic from a teen girl’s point of view. Cancer is a devastating diagnosis for anyone. For a teen, it rocks one’s world. And that is what Never Blame the Umpire is about. With raw, painful emotions, this book chronicles Kate’s... [Read more of this review]
