Shout Outs

As I was going through my inbox this morning I realized that quite a few companies have contacted me to spread the word about products or campaigns that are going on now that might be on interest to you.

So, here goes:
*You know how I'm always saying I wish I could bottle time:  Well, take a gander at this new company I found:

GrowShow allows a parent to do these 2 basic things, with both aspects being truly unique in the marketplace:


1) A Unique service on the Web: Create a free and automatic time-lapse of your child's growth, using fun and easy online tools. Simply upload photos, and GrowShow does the work for you, automatically sorting them in time order. The result is a stunning slideshow that captures your child in a whole new way. This time-lapse will amaze you (the proud parent) and the friends and family you share it with.


2) A Unique product in the Home: Frame that growth sequence with our amazing new invention - the magnetically modular GrowFrame - A photo frame that actually grows .... as your child grows!

*NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CALLS ON KIDS TO DESIGN OCEAN FLAG
          Top Designs to be Judged by Greats in Ocean Exploration

Geographic Society invite kids to create a flag to fly on a National
Geographic research ship during the Ocean Now expedition in 2010. The Ocean
Flag Contest aims to engage children in ocean exploration and conservation.

The online contest at:  http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/contests/Ocean-flag-contest is open to kids ages 8 to 14 and will be judged by renowned ocean researchers Robert Ballard, Sylvia Earle, Enric Sala, David de Rothschild and Nancy Knowlton.

The judges will pick the top 10 designs, and kids will then vote online for the winning design. The winning flag will be hoisted above the National Geographic Ocean Now expedition ship in 2010. The winner will receive a
patch bearing his/her flag design, as well as select National Geographic books and DVDs. The contest runs until Feb. 20, 2010, and the winner will be announced online in April 2010.

OTCsafety.org is doing everything they can to ensure that parents are aware of the new directions on kids’ OTC cough and cold medicines. In the December issue of Parents Magazine, there’s a brochure called Treat with Care (a copy is available on OTCsafety.org and can be ordered free of charge) – parents can tear the brochure out of the magazine and use this as a guide when determining how to treat their children who are sick with a cough or cold.

*Triaminic just launched a new idea called the National Cold & Flu Tracker campaign. "The Tracker" is an online resource that provides a weekly data feed of cold & flu symptom trends by state. For parents, being aware of the activity in their area could help them prepare for when cold and flu symptoms appear. This online tool also provides information and tips to help prevent their family from becoming sick.

The Tracker can be found here:

You might also be interested in the Sick Day Guidelines that Triaminic® partnered with the
National Association of School Nurses (NASN) to create. Parents know when their kids aren’t feeling 100% - these Guidelines are aimed at helping parents decide when to keep them at home, or send them off to school.

What a great way to do something with all of those emails! (I have a bunch of "companies" stored in a folder in my email waiting for me to write something. )
Glad I saw this post! :)

We suggest you always book your golf holiday in Spain in advance in the peak seasons to avoid disappointment and to avail of discounts. All the golf courses are fully booked through the whole season here; so are the hotels and car hire. Look for companies who offer golf booking, hotel reservations and car hire- all three under one roof. All your holiday requirements should be well planned before you arrive for your vacation. It is much more convenient to let one company manage your holiday; they have a lot many package offers for individual as well as group bookings.
