Chuck E. Cheese's invites family and friends to share their best Chuck E. memories

 Whether they’re first-time visits, awesome birthday celebrations, tokens of appreciation for a job-well-done or surprises for sick children, Chuck E. Cheese’s memories have long put smiles on guests’ faces. Chuck E. and his gang of friends and employees love to be a part ofmemorable moments with guests. And the best part about great memories? Sharing them!

Of the many special moments guests shared with Chuck E. Cheese’s in 2011, these are a few favorite and truly unforgettable memories that brought smiles, laughter and joy to the hearts of families all around the world as well as Chuck E. Cheese’s team members and corporate.

1.      As part of its ongoing support for children’s organizations in the community, Chuck E. Cheese’s partnered with Make-A-Wish Foundation to make Skyler’s wish of a Chuck E. Cheese’s-themed room come true. Diagnosed with leukemia and unable to enjoy Chuck E. Cheese’s because of health complications, Skyler hoped the fun could be brought to him. On his “Wish Day,” Skyler walked into a Chuck E-style arcade room complete with video games, Chuck E. Cheese’s goodie bags, a pool table, popcorn machine, a special prize section, a real restaurant booth and even an oven to cook pizzas – just like at Chuck E. Cheese’s. Chuck E. and his friend Helen Henny even stopped by to be a part of the very special reveal created for Skyler and his family.

2.      Emily and Jerome Untalan shared the same dream as most newly married couples – to start a family of their own. However, after being told the possibility of having children was small, the couple faced a grim outlook. Against odds, it was a mere two years before they received the gift of life and welcomed their miracle baby, Elijah. Since his first visit to Chuck E. Cheese’s during a trip to Hawaii, which his mother planned as a final getaway before her husband was scheduled for military deployment, the store quickly became a favorite of young Elijah. It only seemed fitting that following the grand debut of Chuck E. Cheese’s in Guam, where the Untalans reside, seven-year-old Elijah would get his dream gift  and celebrate his day at his favorite place. Smiles and happiness were in abundance for the special birthday boy and his parents as they made memories to cherish for a lifetime.

3.      Christmas came early for three-year-old Harmony when her mother, Private First Class Marquresha Copeland, returned from a six-month deployment in Afghanistan and surprised her at Chuck E. Cheese’s in Hixson, Tenn. The 14-hour travel was worth every minute when the mother and daughter celebrated their reuniting with tears and a warm embrace, surrounded by the love of friends and family. The two enjoyed their first moments together, sharing the greatest holiday gifts of laughter, smiles and Chuck E. Cheese’s fun.

4.      For the first time in more than 30 years, Chuck E. Cheese’s introduced a brand new pizza recipe! Guests near, far, young and young-at-heart were invited to stop by and taste the company’s new, cheesier, crispier pizza, and the response was overwhelming. Many stopped by to weigh in on the new recipe and party with the company as it celebrated the successful reinvention of its staple menu item, dishing up enough slices and smiles to go around.

Families can share their favorite memories of hanging out at Chuck E. Cheese’s by emailing pictures, video and stories tomemories@cecentertainment.com where they may turn up on Chuck E.’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/officialchuckecheese. To see more Chuck E. Cheese’s special moments, check out the Chuck E. Cheese’s YouTube channel to watch fun and exciting videos featuring the famous Chuck E. having fun with the whole family.

Book Review - Like A Little Child

About the Book
The book is a literal exposition of Jesus' statements: "...I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3), and "I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it" (Mark 10:15). Jesus also said to his disciples, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (Mark 10:14).

Like a little child seeks to answer the questions: How does one receive the kingdom like a little child? How does one change and become like little children? What does it mean that the kingdom of God belongs to such as little children? The author has given down-to-earth explanations to these issues spiced with simple, captivating, and amazing real life examples. Everyone, therefore, who desires to enter the kingdom of God, is earnestly advised to read this book.


About the Author
Gregory C. Nnaji is a committed Christian. He is married to Ifeoma and they are blessed with four children: Chidubem, Somto, Precious, and Ugo. He is a gifted writer and preacher of the word of God. He is also the author of Fresh Spring. Gregory, an economist, is a Fellow of the African Institute for Applied Economics (A.I.A.E.) and formerly the M.D./C.E.O. of Bethel Microfinance Bank Limited in Enugu, Nigeria. He now lives in Patterson, California and teaches business at I.T.T. Technical Institute, Lathrop, California, U.S.A.

My Take on the Book
The beauty of this book is its simplicity. The author has done a great job at telling a story that you will want to keep reading. Full of spiritual ties, this book was well written and though short in size, it was so powerful in message. I highly recommend this to all and know that all will enjoy this well written book!

Book Review - Test Success

About the Book
Ben Bernstein has been helping children take tests for over 40 years. The most important thing he has learned is that a child’s performance is directly affected by his or her stress level. If stress is too high or too low, your child’s performance will suffer.

In his new book Test Success! How to Be Calm, Confident and Focused on Any Test, he helps parents help their children do well on tests. “Parents can have a tremendous impact on how a child handles the stress of test taking,” he says. “But it is the child who is taking the test.”

Dr. Bernstein’s book identifies nine key tools for test-taking success. He uses a balanced mind-body-spirit approach that boils down to being calm, having confidence and maintaining focus.

“I have also seen how people can overcome their handicaps. I watched a student’s low SAT scores rise dramatically once he learned how to calm down during the test. I saw the utter joy of a rower when she finally learned how to focus her energy throughout the entire race. I was particularly moved when I watched the parents of a student I was coaching learn to build their son’s self-esteem instead of tear it down, by relaxing their completely unrealistic expectations of him.”

Here are some of Dr. Bernstein’s invaluable suggestions on how parents can help children deal with the four primary causes of poor scores:

Trouble with the Content

Understanding the material is the first and the most key issue.

Ask your child the following questions:


  • “Is there something in the material you specifically don’t understand?”
  • “Do you feel like this material is just too difficult for you?
  • “What doesn’t make sense to you?”
  • “Are you having trouble memorizing?”
  • “Are you just bored with this material?” (Caution: when children say something is “boring,” they might mean that they don’t understand it or like it.)

Ask the teacher to shed light on the situation. Sometimes a child can’t pinpoint her difficulties and, if she’s too embarrassed, shy or resistant to talk with the teacher, she may need you to do so on her behalf. The teacher is a good resource because he may be more familiar than you are with your child’s learning style, so ask for his observations. Also, see if he can explain the material to you. Do the explanations seem clear? In other words, is the teacher part of the problem? Can the teacher show you a way to help your child?

Consider arranging for a tutor to work with your child. A tutor may be helpful to your child by providing close personal attention. Tutorial resources are increasingly available and don’t have to be costly. Many options are free or very inexpensive: peer tutors (fellow students) in the school, after-school programs that include a homework component, and college students looking for extra income. You can always go online or advertise for a tutor or see who is advertising their services.

Physical Tension

Jitters and tension make it hard for anyone to concentrate. A bad case of nerves can seriously undermine students’ test performance because it robs them of their concentration.

Make sure your child gets enough regular physical exercise. Bike riding, working out at the gym, running and swimming are all tension-releasing activities that give her the opportunity to let off steam and “restart” her system. Watching TV, talking on the phone and playing video games are not aerobic. All too often kids try to study after long hours of these activities and their energy is already zapped.

Check whether your child is getting enough sleep. Is he going to bed too late? Does he have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning? Does he appear tired at other times of the day, like after school? Children need a lot more sleep than adults do, at least nine to ten hours a night, and anything less can severely hamper their school performance because their tired minds aren’t paying attention. Recent research shows that inadequate sleep can cause problems that look like attention deficit.

Review your child’s diet. A diet high in carbs, sugars and caffeinated drinks is, unfortunately, all too common in our culture. While sugary foods and “energy drinks” appear to keep the engine stoked, they are actually wearing your child down. A balanced diet keeps glucose levels from going on a roller coaster and has a positive effect on metabolism, energy levels and brain function.

Learn to calm down yourself. As a parent, you can very easily pick up on what your child feels and start feeling the same way yourself. (Also, of course, you have your own adult problems to cope with.) If your child is anxious or sad or angry, you may quickly begin feeling the same way, even if you were feeling quite calm just moments before. In psychology we call this an “induced reaction”—you are induced into your child’s state. This is a very human response, especially with people who are close with one another, like parent and child. You increase your chances of reducing your child’s stress if you learn how to keep yourself calm no matter what is going on with your child.

Issues of Self Doubt

Your child’s doubt in himself and his abilities may cause his confidence to plunge both before and during a test.

Ask yourself if you are the right person to be your child’s confidant. You might think of yourself as your child’s best friend, but you may not be the first choice as a confidant. If that’s the case, you have to give up the idea that your child should confide in you about this issue.

Think of someone else your child can talk with. Enlist the support of a teacher she respects, a school advisor or counselor she trusts, a clergy member or one of her close friends who is a responsible individual. Encourage her to share her deepest thoughts with that person. Make supportive but accurate statements to your child: “You work hard.” “You’ve taken on big challenges before and succeeded.” “You can do it.” “I believe in you.” “I know you’ve got what it takes.”

Difficulty Staying on Task

If your child has difficulty becoming motivated, find out what is getting in his way. Is it an overall sense of helplessness that even if he tries, he won’t get anywhere? Has achievement become a negative word?

Ask yourself whose goal it is that your child succeeds. Of course you want her to do well, but if she doesn’t have that goal herself, you are going to be in an uphill battle that you might never win. Talk with your child about this. A straightforward discussion about her goals can go a long way toward clarifying why she needs to work harder.

Notice the ways your child becomes distracted. Does he stay on the phone, text, log onto the web, e-mail, play video games, watch TV, eat—all instead of doing his homework? Can you help him set realistic working periods with breaks for “treats” and distractions? Consider getting a timer as a tool so he can focus better and more consistently.

Consider how focused you are. If you have clear goals and minimize distraction, you can be a good role model for your child. She can see the effects for herself.

Remember: cultivating good work habits is ultimately something children should learn to do for themselves because they see the positive results and feel good about having accomplished a goal. Though you may have to encourage and mentor them through this process, they are doing the work so that they can go on to lead a more fulfilling life.

Four Bad Parental Behaviors and What to Do about Them

Are You Comparing Your Child to Others? Stop! The best thing to do is to focus on what is going on with him and what he needs, not on what anyone else is doing or has done. Go out of your way to ask your child questions so you can understand his needs.

Do You Have Unrealistic Expectations for Your Child? Sometimes parents idealize their children and see them as mini superheroes capable of doing just about anything. This mentality gets in the way of seeing your child for who she is. Be her greatest advocate and most enduring source of support. But be realistic by recognizing her true strengths and weaknesses. You have to acknowledge and—this is harder—accept the things she likes and the things she doesn’t and be honest about her possibilities and limitations.

Do You Think Your Child’s Performance Is a Reflection of Your Parenting? If your child performs poorly on a test, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have done a bad job as a parent. It could just mean your child needs some help. Don’t take it personally! Find the real problem and get the right help. If you have difficulty separating your child’s performance from your own self-esteem or from your own performance as a child, you can avail yourself of different forms of support such as parenting books, online help, peer counseling (talking with other parents) or professional therapy.

Are You Micromanaging Your Child? Stop helicoptering to rescue your child from every little thing! Give your child room to grow. It’s hard to watch him make a mistake, or make the wrong choice, but true learning and growth come only through personal action. Wind him up and let him go. Let him fall and learn to pick himself up again by himself, on his own.

This was a great book filled with some great tips for any test taker. I know that for me I was always a person that had issues with test taking. I was always a strong student, but when it came to tests I was challenges and found myself have difficulty. What I loved about the book were the exercises that the author shares with the reader as their were timely and appropriately placed. On top of all this the book was an engaging and interesting read! I have read a lot of books on test preparation in the best and  this book truly was one that was easy to use and so practical. I highly recommend this book for any parents or people who are handling issues in regards to test taking. You will be nicely surprised at what this book can do for you!

Book Review - Stuff Every Mom Should Know

About the Book
A Mother Should Trust Her Instincts

Or so they say. But when you’re not completely sure how to handle a parenting problem, Stuff Every Mom Should Know has the answers, including:

• How to Swaddle a Baby
• Fifteen Birthday-Party Survival Tips
• The Truth about Potty Training
• The Miracle of White Noise
• Comebacks for Unsolicited Parenting Advice

Plus tips for mastering quick and easy meals, suggestions for baby-proofing like an expert, advice on stocking your medicine cabinet, tricks to making a long wait fun, and much, much more.

My Take on the Book
This was a great book with so many great ideas that any mother will appreciate. I have read a number of these books in the past and this one does live up to the rest in the series! I shared this with my wife who is a great mother (in my opinion) and she stated that she truly enjoyed having this book now in her role as a mother and in fact, she stated that she wished that she had it before as there were many things that she came to learn in the past 7 years of being a mom, but much of her learned experience was self-taught. All-in-all this book and that are so hand-held and allows you to carry them in a purse or some other way to get the words and ideas out in front of the reader! I highly reconnedrd!

Book Review - South Pole

About the Book
Although it’s a piece of history learned by every British student, the Terra Nova Expedition of 1910-1913 remains an epic story unknown to many. In this ultimate display of life and boundless bravery, Robert F. Scott and his five-man team battled the elements—traveling through subzero temperatures with motor sledges and ponies—in the hope of being the first to reach this uninhabited territory. Assouline is pleased to announce South Pole, providing a rare opportunity to feel an intimate connection to a heroic age of exploration.

Arriving at the South Pole on January 17, 1912, the adventurers were greeted by their worst nightmare: a Norwegian flag. Disheartened and badly frostbitten, they trudged back toward their boat only to die just eleven miles from the next depot. Featuring a collection of stunning black and white photography alongside entries from Scott’s harrowing diary, this tome starkly presents this well documented, tragically untold journey in three unique formats: a trade edition in hardcover; an oversized special edition hardcover with jacket; and, most exclusively, an artist's limited luxury hand bound edition in extra-large format, complete with waterproof pages—the first luxury art book of its kind. The book's proceeds are graciously donated to the Antarctic Heritage Trust, who preserve expeditions and the thousands of surviving artifacts for the benefit of future generations, and inspire people through the values associated with adventure, discovery, and leadership.

Beyond the incredible feats of endurance, hardship, and the extraordinary scientific achievements from Scott’s last attempt, the world was captivated by Captain Scott’s prowess as a diarist and the outstanding photographic skill of team member Herbert Ponting. The written and photographic legacy enabled people to connect with this journey, frozen in time, as they have never before.

Christine Dell’Amore, environment writer-editor for National Geographic News, has reported from six continents, including Antarctica. She has also written for Smithsonian Magazine and The Washington Post. Christine holds a masters degree in journalism with a specialty in environmental reporting from the University of Colorado at Boulder.

South Pole is available for purchase at ASSOULINE boutiques worldwide and through www.assouline.com

Trade Edition: www.assouline.com/9781614280101.html
Special Edition: www.assouline.com/9781614280118.html


My Take on the Book
This was an amazing book that educated me so much about an explorer that I knew nothing about prior to reading this. The images and the amazing journey and adventure that this and all of the other explorers related in this book were remarkable. While I think it would be a ton of fun being able to go the the pole t.like these explorers did, I do not know whether I would have the stamina nor the willingness to go above and beyond, risking my life and the life of the other explorers on this journey. This book is definitely one that will keep you engaged and tranfixed as you wonder what will come next!

My Take on the Product
These were such great toothbrushes! My favorite had to be the light-saber toothbrush that blinks red for one minute to let the child know when they should stop brushing. This was definitely a nice feature as most children do not know how long they should be brushing and this provides this. On top of this though the other two brushes were also a ton of fun for the Star Wars fanatic! If you love Star Wars these are the toothbrushes for you!

Book Review - How to Con Your Kid

About the Book
Children bring boundless joy into your life. They also bring temper tantrums, stubborn moods, and 90-decibel fits of hysterical screaming. Think we’re exaggerating? Just try getting one to finish his dinner.

It’s time to spare the aggravation and take some action. How to Con Your Kid shows how parents can con their toddlers to do anything-and we mean anything. Want your kid to try broccoli? Serve her a plate of “baby trees.” Want her to take a bath? Put on a bathing suit and go “swimming” together.

From simple “short cons” to more elaborate, step-by-step scams, How to Con Your Kid features tricks and tips for the home, travel, school, daycare, and more.

Get your kid to help with chores by naming him “Mom’s Special Assistant.”
Get your kid moving by racing her to the corner.
Get your kid to share by suggesting he trade instead.

Plus, for those rare moments when everything fails, we’ve included two sheets of “bribe stickers”-guaranteed to transform the most terrible toddler into a well-behaved angel.

About the Authors

DAVID BORGENICHT, coauthor of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, has two kids. He lives in Philadelphia.

JAMES GRACE, coauthor of The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Golf, is the father of three young children. He lives outside Boston.

My Take on the Book
This was a fun book that gives parents some of the best ins and out on getting your kids to do what you want. I loved the format of the book and the sage advice that is provided in each section. The book is made to be practical and usable and there are many tips in each section so if something does not work, you can easily try something else! On top of this there are some great parody songs that are offered throughout the book that can make it fun too. For example "I've been working with my family" to the tune of "I've been working on the railroad". It is things like this that makes the book special and one I would highly recommend!

JOHN CARTER - Los Angeles Premiere



From Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”—a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.


Notes:

  • Rice Burroughs was born in Chicago and is best known for writing and creating Tarzan—still one of the most successful and iconic fictional creations of all time. “John Carter” is based on Burroughs’ first novel, “A Princess of Mars.”
  • Academy Award®–winning director/writer Andrew Stanton directed and co-wrote the screenplay for “WALL•E,” which earned the Academy Award® and Golden Globe Award® for Best Animated Feature of 2008. He was Oscar® nominated for the screenplay. He made his directorial debut with “Finding Nemo,” garnering an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film of 2003. He was one of the four screenwriters to receive an Oscar nomination in 1996 for his contribution to “Toy Story,” and went on to receive credit as a screenwriter on subsequent Pixar films “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Finding Nemo” and “WALL•E.”
  • The award-winning below-the-line team includes Production Designer Nathan Crowley, Oscar®- nominated for both “Dark Knight” and “The Prestige,” and Costume Designer Mayes Rubeo, whose work is showcased in “Avatar” and “Apocalypto.”
  • Michael Chabon, who won the Pulitzer Prize in Literature for his novel “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay,” is a co-writer on the screenplay.
  • Award-winning composer Michael Giacchino has received numerous accolades for his work on previous Disney•Pixar films “Up” (Oscar® winner, Best Original Score; BAFTA winner, Best Music; Golden Globe® winner, Best Original Score for a Motion Picture; GRAMMY® Award winner, Best Score Soundtrack Album), “Ratatouille” (GRAMMY Award winner, Best Score Soundtrack Album; Annie Award winner, Best Music in an Animated Feature Production; Oscar nomination, Best Original Score) and “The Incredibles” (Annie Award winner, Best Music in an Animated Feature Production; GRAMMY nomination, Best Score Soundtrack Album).

Tax Write Offs You Might Have Overlooked

Paul Vazquez, executive at Keycode.com and father of four, is an expert on saving money. There are plenty of great tips on how to save during tax time and what write offs you might have overlooked. Below are just a few.

Magazines and TV
Self-employment lends itself to plenty of write offs…. as long as you're incurring these expenses exclusively for work. If you are a interior designer, you can write off your magazine subscriptions and cable bills because you need to keep an eye on new home trends for ideas.

Mileage and Gas for Charity Work
As many people realize by now, you can deduct the volunteer work you do for charity. But some people don’t think about the fact that they can deduct expenses related to that work. Remember to take the standard mileage deduction or itemize your gas costs.

Online Tax Services
There are promo codes and coupons out there for just about anything, if you look, and online tax services are no exception. If you are a candidate to use an online tax service, you can find considerable discounts on sites like Keycode.com. In addition, you can also write-off tax services.

Vacations for the Unemployed
If you're looking for a job and land some interviews in New York City, the IRS doesn't care if you buy tickets to a Broadway show. Just limit your deductions to reasonable expenses related to your trip including your plane ticket and hotel reservations.

FRANKENWEENIE arrives in theatres everywhere on October 5th!

From creative genius Tim Burton (“Alice in Wonderland,” The Nightmare Before Christmas”) comes “Frankenweenie,” a heartwarming tale about a boy and his dog. After unexpectedly losing his beloved dog Sparky, young Victor harnesses the power of science to bring his best friend back to life—with just a few minor adjustments. He tries to hide his home-sewn creation, but when Sparky gets out, Victor’s fellow students, teachers and the entire town all learn that getting a new “leash on life” can be monstrous.

A stop-motion animated film, “Frankenweenie” will be filmed in black and white and rendered in 3D, which will elevate the classic style to a whole new experience.

In Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” young Victor conducts a science experiment to bring his beloved dog Sparky back to life, only to face unintended, sometimes monstrous, consequences.

NOTES:


  • When Tim Burton originally conceived the idea for “Frankenweenie,” he envisioned it as a full-length, stop-motion animated film. Due to budget constraints, he instead directed it as a live-action short, released in 1984. 
  • Frankenweenie” follows in the footsteps of Tim Burton’s other stop-motion animated films “Corpse Bride” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas”—both of which were nominated for Academy Awards®.
  • Over 200 puppets and sets were created for the film.
  • The voice cast includes four actors who worked with Burton on previous films: Winona Ryder (“Beetlejuice,” “Edward Scissorhands”), Catherine O’Hara (“Beetlejuice,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas”), Martin Short (“Mars Attacks!”) and Martin Landau (“Ed Wood,” Sleepy Hollow”).
  • Several of the character names—Victor, Elsa Van Helsing, Edgar “E” Gore and Mr. Burgemeister— were inspired by classic horror films.

Book Review - Manners are Free

About the Book
Working grandmother, M.B. Jones’ children’s book, Manners Are Free, highlights the basics of manners and common courtesy, but does so in a colorful way that appeals to children. She wrote the book to ensure that her granddaughter would learn manners at an early age.

“My little granddaughter was my impetus to write my book, Manners Are Free,” said Jones. “I feel strongly that children need to learn manners at an early age. When Aubrey was a small baby, I would always talk to her about manners and then I would add, ‘remember, manners are free’.”

Jones has spent over 26 years in the business world as a global manager and a business owner. Her keen sense of business etiquette was easily translated into the message of her children’s book.

Jones highlights everything from table manners to conversation skills to playground etiquette in her colorful book, Manners Are Free. The book uses illustrations and real-life situations to appeal to both parents and children alike.

“I am a first time Grandmother, and I want nothing more than for my little granddaughter to grow up to be confident, successful and happy,” says Jones. “I want her to learn that how you treat other people and how you conduct yourself makes a big difference in all aspects of your life.”

For more information, visit: http://bookstore.authorhouse.com/Products/SKU-000458997/Manners-Are-Free.aspx

My Take on the Book
What was neat about this book was that it contains so many lessons about what we as parents want all of our children to learn about manners and the author does it in a fun way that all will enjoy. Full of rhymes and repetitive sayings, this book is great for all who are trying to reinforce the importance of manners in the home. I also have to say that I loved the fact that there was a Nana in this family, as we have one in ours as well. This was a great book and it is one that I know I will be reading many times in the future with my own girls!

Cold-EEZE and Maty’s Offer Great Options for Keeping Colds Away

I am always looking for ways in which I can provide either relief from cold/cough symptoms as they occur or better yet a barrier to stop a cold from even taking hold and through the use of Cold-EEZE and Maty’s products I get the best of both worlds.

Cold-EEZE reduces the duration of the common cold by nearly half.

It actually shortens your cold to help you get well sooner!

Here are a few things you should know:


  • Cold-EEZE treatment should begin as soon as possible when the very first symptoms of a cold start to appear, such as scratchy or sore throat, coughing, stuffiness, etc.
  • The Cold-EEZE brand is the #1 pharmacist-recommended zinc cold remedy. (Source: Pharmacy Times OTC survey – June 2011, page 18)
  • Cold-EEZE uses natural flavors and has no preservatives or colors. It is non-drowsy, non-agitating and does not affect blood pressure.
  • Cold-EEZE has millions of fans!

I was impressed in trying the products that I was sent as they truly did help stop a cold before it gets too strong, and being a parent this is so important as you do not want to be laid out with a cold for long, otherwise your kids may take over and the home goes down in shambles!



Maty’s is unearthing the age-old tradition of all-natural remedies, good for the body and the environment. They have carefully crafted safe, all-natural treatments for your child--and for you! With their products you can be sure that you are getting the finest, most effective ingredients without any dangerous side effects.

I tried Maty's Adult Cough Syrup. What I loved about it was that it:


  • This syrup begins with real antioxidant rich buckwheat honey. Many of Mother Nature’s most powerful immune and support ingredients are then added. Unlike traditional over-the-counter cold medicines, this product is food based and there are no harmful side effects. You can have peace of mind as well as a peaceful night’s sleep!
  • The syrup tastes great and works fast

Both of these brands were great and were ones that I would highly recommend as they promote natural healing, but even more than that, they are great tasting and work amazingly well!
