Ragu Moms The Word On Dinner

- brandy3 1 Comment

I have a busy life and by the end of the day I don’t want to cook or clean up, so I make spaghetti a lot. It’s quick and easy, the kids love it. I use Ragu Old world Style Sauce with 2 full servings of veggies in every half cup of sauce.

Ragu is launching an online community for moms to laugh, learn and share what really happens at dinnertime. Each month the community will be featuring topics on picky eaters, getting kids to eat their veggies, conversations around the table, and tips from parenting expert Dr. Michele Borba and Dietician Dr. Felicia Stoler.

In addition to the ongoing fun and conversation, the Mom’s the Word on Dinner community will feature videos, photos, polls, quizzes and dinner ideas with quick and easy recipes.

Zhu Zhu Puppies are cute and fun

- brandy3

We got to have playtime with Zhu Zhu Puppies.

We received Loolah the pink puppy and Dakota, we also received the Bark De Triumphe play set.  Zhu Zhu Puppies include the puppy and a brush. We had so much fun playing with ou Zhu Zhu Puppies and the play yard. The puppies went through the play yard perfectly. The dogs are so soft and cuddly, they even have little outfits for them but the outfit we received would not latch right and was very hard to put on.

Behavior And Chore Charts At Goalforit.com

- brandy3

www.goalforit.com is a website where you create your own Goal chart. That’s not all though you can make a behavior chart, chore chart, or even a to do list.

They have lots of different themes and categories for the charts, it makes it so much fun for the kids.

I decided to make a chore/behavior chart for my kids to follow. Which I hope they can stick to, because they haven’t behaved lately.

Here is a preview of mine.

***I couldn’t capture the whole chart, but I really like their graphics for the charts. They have tons of headers to choose from for your child favorite. I chose rocker girl, purple butterflies, and a fire truck. Then you have the chore or behavior you would like to add. When a chore is completed you just click on the circle to give a check mark, and tons of different stickers pop up for your child to choose from.   Then at the end of the day or week you can write down what prize or amount of money they’ve earned.

I have been using the chart for a few days now and my kids have been a little better about following it. They do all the chores on the list no problem, it’s the behavior part they have trouble with. They are all under the age of 6 though, so that’s to be expected. I think this is a lot of fun and its a good way to teach your kids that when they do listen and show them that when they do, a reward will follow.

Zhu Zhu Pet Playdate

We were able to host a Zhu Zhu Pet playdate at our house, we don’t know many people in our neighborhood yet so we just had our neighbors over.

We received a Zhu Zhu pet salon, clothes and purses as well as Zhu Zhu pets. Since we had to boys at the party I also got out the Kung Zhu battle arena I already had.

The girls had so much fun being able to dress up their Zhu Zhu Pets and pamper them.

I have more pictures, I just need to find my other Camera. Stay tuned for more.
