Beating the Summer Blahs

So the Works for Me Wednesday is on beating the summer boredom. Well, we here at the NerdFamily got this as a Christmas gift a while ago and man is it great. It is like Legos in the way that you can build a million things but better. That is because you have to also grasp a bit of the cause and effect to get all the marbles to go in the ways that you want. This is a great thing for kids and parents of all ages. It is also neat because you can keep building on the set until you have a full menagerie of fun!

Clip On Thermometer


So I was looking for something for a friend and I saw this item. Apparently you can just clip it to a kid’s clothing so there is contact with the skin. Then you can check their temperature continuously. It will beep if it loses contact. One of the pictures I saw the kid had it clipped to the top of the diaper. The one annoying thing is it beeps if the temp goes up one degree. I don’t know if that is one single beep or what. But for less than $20 I think it is a good deal.
