Fustrated with the school system

My daughter may only be in preschool, but they follow the same guidelines at the Guilford County schools. Which is  expected since it is a Head Start program.

My daughter has had 3 1/2 total hours of school this week, and it’s making me crazy.

It snowed on Friday and Saturday, so there was no school on Monday. Then Monday night it rained, meaning no school on Tuesday because of ice. Wednesday almost everything melted but there were still ice concerns. So no school Wednesday.

Thursday she finally had school, but with a 2 hr delay. instead of 8-2, she went from 10-2. Thursday night we had sleet so now school is canceled today.

This is crazy. I can  understand safety concerns, but if I can drive an hour away with no problems, people can drive there kids to school.

New Sweethearts Candy For Valentines day GiveawayCLOSED

Sweethearts, the official candy of love™, is unveiling exciting new expressions of love for Valentine’s Day. For the first time in the candy’s 145-year history, Sweethearts will feature new fruity flavors and bright colors, printed with modern sayings chosen by America. Through an online contest, Americans were empowered to decide exactly what expressions of love they wanted to see printed on the colorful candy hearts.

Last year, Sweethearts discarded all sayings and held a contest asking what people wanted to see on their candy.

The top 10 new phrases are

  • Tweet Me
  • Text Me
  • You Rock
  • Soul Mate
  • Love Bug
  • Me + You
  • Puppy Love
  • Sweet Love
  • Sweet Pea
  • Love Me

Plus they have also added new flavors like Green Apple, Blue raspberry, Strawberry, Lemon, Grape and Orange. Sweethearts candies have also evolved from pastels to vibrant eye-catching colors with a softer texture that is more fun to eat

Rather use technology, Sweethearts created the first iPhone App that works directly with a user’s Twitter account. The App allows users to personalize up to five Sweethearts with up to 25-character messages on each.  Beginning January 19, 2010, iPhone and iPod touch users will be able to download the App at the Apple App Store. Those without an iPhone or iPod touch can access the App for Twitter by visiting www.MySweethearts.com.

Sweethearts are available in different sizes and can be found at most retail stores.

***The Sweethearts are so fun, the social media sayings fit bloggers perfectly. Plus they are delicous my kids are begging for me. These are the perfect Valentine gift

Retail:79 cents to $3.99

Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Review(giveaway)Closed

Horizon Organic low-fat Chocolate Milk with DHA Omega-3
provides a great tasting and easy way to add calcium and DHA to your
family¹s diet. DHA Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps support
heart, brain and eye health, and it¹s available in low-fat half gallons

Dha is good for your child by

  • Belongs to a category of healthy fatty acids known as Omega-3’s. Found
    in high concentrations in the tissues of the brain and eye, DHA Omega-3 is
    thought to help support healthy function in these areas. DHA has also been
    shown to help support heart health.
  •  Provides a nutritional boost for children’s growing minds and bodies.
    Children’s brains grow incredibly fast. In fact, the brain nearly quadruples
    in the first five years of life.
  • A key structural component of the brain, yet many young children
    don’t get their recommended daily amount of DHA as it is found in a limited
    number of food sources.

Horizon Organic  Plus DHA Omega-3 is fortified with a natural, 100
percent vegetarian and sustainable source of DHA – a safe, wholesome,
delicious way to bring more of this important nutrient into your family’s
diet.

My children will only drink chocolate milk, but I know it’s not always healthy.  This a great way to give my kids what they want and not worry about whats going in their body. They really liked this milk, they said it tastes just the way I make it, with milk and chocolate syrup. This is a great alternative.

Retail:$2.99

My rating:9
