I found A Store Doing Something illegal

I live  in Huntington NY, right outside the village. Every year the village has a Safe Trick or Treat program, where all the merchants in the village hand out out candy. My kids and I walk into a store and see………

Now before I tell you let me just say that I  have worked several Retail jobs and know this is illegal, and my mom worked at Toys R Us for 14 years and has said they got in trouble for doing this.

I will not name the store but I found this

Yes that is Toy story 3 on a shelf for sale before the official release date of November 2, 2010. If this store gets caught before Tuesday, it’s like a 20,000 dollar fine or something.

Tips For A Healthy Halloween

Nutritionist and registered dietician Mary Gocke from the Center for Health and Healing in New York warns against feeding kids too much candy as overconsumption of sugar can lead to decreased immune function, mood swings, anxiety, depression and fatigue.

Tips:

  • Have a Big Dinner – make sure your kids have a healthy dinner before going out trick or treating, being full means they’ll be less likely to gorge on candy later that night.
  • keep tasty treats such as almonds and string cheese handy will trick or treating and make sure your kids snack on these low-glycemic foods throughout the night, it’ll help lower their blood sugar.
  •  Drink water – water not only helps wash away the sugar from the teeth, helping kids avoid cavities, but it also helps combat blood sugar levels.
  • Avoid sticky candies – these sweets linger longer on your teeth and increases the risk for cavities.
  • Try these instead! –  plain chocolate bars (especially if they contain at least 65% cocoa), Sweet Tarts, Smarties and Pixy Sticks are better for your teeth.

Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone!

Say Boo To The Flu and Contest

There is a lot of controversy on whether or not a flu vaccine actually protects you from the flu. I know when My Children or I get a flu shot we immediately get sick.  Plus I usually end up getting sick even if I have a shot.  I prefer that my kids still get them though, just incase a bad flu breaks out or something like the bird flu.

www.sayboototheflu.com  there you can get Get seasonal flu vaccine information and say “Boo!” to the flu this season. Families Fighting Flu, Visiting Nurse Associations of America and The Clorox Company have teamed up to help you keep your family protected from the flu.

When you visit www.sayboototheflu.com and take the flu prevention pledge, you’ll be entered into a contest to win a rip to your favorite wizard themed amusement park in Orlando Florida. Plus you can enter to win a Say Boo To the Flu prize pack.

My Ultimate Family Vacation and contest

Sponsored By

Cheerios® is giving you the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your ultimate family vacation. As part of a paid promotion for their “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, Cheerios® is sponsoring my post today about what my ultimate family vacation would be. Read mine, Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to actually win your own fantasy family trip or one of a bunch of other great prizes.

My Ultimate family vacation would be a trip to the west coast Arizona, Nevada and California. Why? I have family in all those states. My Parents and Brother in Arizona, neices and nephew in Nevada, and Grandparents, tons of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. I haven’t seen anyone in my family in years, some of my family including my dad have never met two of my children. So that would be my Ultimate Vacation, and I would bring all my family, husband and 3 kids. There are other things I would do while on the West Coast like eating at Wienerscnitzel, and Jack in the Box, two places I miss being on the East Coast. Then there’s Golden gate Park in San Fransico (Which my Great Great Uncle Built, look for his statue in the park, Gambling in Vegas, and White Tank Mountains in Arizona.

Don’t forget to enter the “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, for a chance to win your own ultimate family vacation. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
