Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes for Back to School

August 10, 2016 By Thaleia 5 Comments

As many parents are getting ready for back to school Type 1 parents are filling Type 1 Diabetes Rescue Boxes of supplies for their child to be cared for at school. If you are a parent of a newly diagnosed T1D then you are probably still learning the ropes of this crazy thing called Type 1 Diabetes!

What is a Rescue Box?

Simply put a plastic container with a lid filled with basic Type 1 Diabetes supplies as well as specific items for the student’s pump and blood glucose meter. A “Low Box” is another name for it when you add items to help bring your children’s blood glucose levels into range. Rescue Boxes hold items in case a child were to go low so anything from some juice boxes to fruit snacks to a glucagon pen.

For the Love of Swimming #LetsPowerTheirDreams #ad

August 9, 2016 By Thaleia 3 Comments

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks and P&G proud sponsors of Team USA and Dana Vollmer.

It’s no secret that my children love water and love swimming! Each time our children hear that we might be staying at a hotel or going on a blog trip they ask, “Is there going to be a pool?” Their love of swimming goes on all year long no matter what the weather. They know that sometimes we can go to an indoor water park as part of our homeschool PE while other times they enjoy the warm days of Summer while in a pool outdoors!

Are you excited for The Olympic Games that are going on this month? Have you ever thought about training and competing? Have you thought that maybe one of your children may be cut out to perform during a future Olympic Games? All of my children love water and swimming so I could imagine that maybe, just maybe, one of them could be a future Olympian. We do not own a pool or even a YMCA membership at this point but that does not stop their love for water and swimming.

Safety Tips for Pokemon Go

August 5, 2016 By Thaleia 1 Comment

By now I am sure that you have heard about Pokemon Go unless you have been off all WiFi living on a deserted island as a hermit, lol. I was not very excited about this new app and “addiction” when I first heard about it. Like all new things moderation and safety are key! I want to take some time to talk to you about some safety tips for Pokemon Go that a friend of mine, Dannah, wrote about to let other parents and players be aware of. You see Dannah allows her son who is 7 years old the opportunity to play with close parental supervision. She is also a computer nerd and plays herself, lol.

I personally have not downloaded Pokemon Go to my phone because I do not have the space with all the apps that I use on a daily basis for work. I am familiar with the creators of the game, Niantic Inc.,since they also created the Field Trip app which I do have on my phone and love because of the rich History that it provides.
