CONTEST: Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies
Let's face it... when your kids are little, you're going to deal with constipation or just pooping probs in general.
Then there's the other (more important) element & that's the fiber issue. It's something I admit that I haven't placed enough importance on in my kiddos' diets.
So, to remedy both situations, there are Pedia-Lax FIBER GUMMIES vitamins.
My kids LOVED these (actually, since, my daughter refuses to eat any other kind) & I loved how they help fullfill that lacking in their diet.
This delicious daily fiber supplement helps kids ages 2-11 maintain better digestive health and stay regular. The penguin-shaped, great tasting Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies are sugar-free, calorie-free, gluten-free and made with natural fruit flavors. With a recommended serving of three gummies every day, (equal to ½ cup of broccoli!), Fiber Gummies are a great way to supplement the fiber found in fruits, vegetables and other fiber-rich foods in your child’s daily diet. It’s a great solution to help bridge the gap between the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended amount of fiber and the fiber that kids actually consume in their daily diet. AND Fiber Gummies are dentist approved!!
AND (perhaps a tightwad favorite reason), there is a $1 off coupon ON THEIR WEBSITE.
Would you like to try these for your little vitamin-taker?
FIBER GUMMIES is going to let one lucky reader try their own bottle. In one week, I will choose a winner.
There are two ways to enter:
1. Leave a comment & tell me what your favorite anti-constipation food is for your little pooper. That ONE comment is your entry to the contest! If you're leaving a comment as 'anonymous', be sure you leave a name or email address.
2. Keep up to date on the latest from Fiber Gummies by fanning them on Facebook. Become their fan, then report back here (IN a COMMENT) telling us your facebook name. That will be a SECOND comment (which equals a second entry).
Good luck!

Free Vision Screening
Thank you to Nicole for this great info...
Free Vision Screening Detects Leading Causes of Childhood Blindness
Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation to Hold Free Vision Screening at the
Saint Louis Science Center, Saturday, November 14th
St. Louis, Mo. (September 14, 2009) – Amblyopia or “lazy eye,” is the leading cause of blindness in children, but is easily treatable – especially when identified early in one’s life. However, only 15 percent of preschoolers ever undergo an eye exam, simply because they display no outward symptoms or do not have the ability to verbalize their vision problems to their parents. Let undetected, amblyopia can have a negative effect on a child’s ability to learn.
To help children see a brighter future ahead, the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation invites families from across the metropolitan area to a free Amblyopia Vision Screening for children ages 6 months to 6 years at the Saint Louis Science Center on Saturday, November 14, 2009 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The first 125 children screened will receive a $5 promo card good toward a $25 purchase at Build-A-Bear Workshop®. For more information, please call the Foundation at 800-283-1982, ext. 115.
Screening for amblyopia takes just minutes and is completely non-invasive. Trained Foundation staff technicians use a hand-held scanner to screen a child’s eyes for a variety of vision problems. The automated system reviews the results and will immediately produce a pass or refer report. If a child shows symptoms of amblyopia, parents are encouraged to take him or her to an eye doctor for a follow-up eye examination.
Amblyopia occurs when the brain ignores information sent from one eye. Eventually the weak eye will cease functioning properly, and the stronger of the two eyes will take over, leading to vision problems. The condition can occur either because of a focusing problem where one eye is more nearsighted, farsighted or astigmatic than the other, or because of a misalignment of the eyes where one or both eyes cross in or turn out.
Since 1995, the Foundation’s Amblyopia Vision Screening program has screened more than 100,000 Missouri children, including thousands in the St. Louis area. Screenings are offered free to preschools, daycare centers and community organizations as well as the families they serve. Organizations who wish to schedule a screening may do so by calling the Foundation at 800-753-2265, ext. 8518.
The Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation based out of Columbia, Mo. The Foundation is dedicated to the preservation and restoration of sight through its vision programs including: Amblyopia Prevention Screening, Glaucoma Detection Screening, Eyeglass Recycling, Eye Care Assistance, the Heartland Lions Eye Banks and the support of ocular research.
