Grocery Shopping with my kids

- brandy3 1 Comment

I have to admit having 3 kids under the age of 5, grocery shopping is a nightmare. The kids ru through aisles, and do not listen. Lately though I have been challenging my daughter on her preschool knowledge, by asking her what shapes,colors and even characters are on some of the packaging.  I do have a hard time with navigating my kids away from certain things in the aisles, like candy, ice cream, the junk.  I just have been trying to avoid those aisles as much as i can.    My kids do ask for some good foods, mainly because they have characters. like campbell soup with princess’s, or veggies with Dora or sesame street on it. The problem with those is i buy them and then they don’t like it. The new Looney tunes foods, they do like. their favorite is the grapes with Tweety Bird on them.

We’ve always bought and loved Scooby Doo Macaroni and Cheese, and Scooby Doo Fruit Snacks.     The Scooby Doo stuffed animal is very soft and cuddly. my daughter loves it!   The Scooby Doo Crocs are fun and stylish, they are a little big for my kids, but my son won’t take them off. I love the Scooby Doo bag, its cute and a great gift bag.

I recieved a copy of the book, and immediately my kids were attracted to it.  They kept asking who all the charcters were, since we don’t see Looney Tunes on T.V very much any more.  I read the book to them and now they want to do everything baby Bugs, Taz and Tweety are doing. 

 

I’m participating In the WB Family and recieved a free book.

How i think my kids are eating healthy at school

- brandy3 1 Comment

My daughter is only preschool age.  They will feed you breakfast and lunch. I don’t sit in, so I don’t know what they eat, but i make it a point to ask. Usually its the basics, milk, sandwich , apple, sometimes spagetti or stew.

The main problem I have is my daughter is very picky and usually doesn’t eat her lunch at school.  So i have to rush when i pick her up to feed her too. She usually only eats a Pb&j sandwich or a lunch meat.

My daughters favorite snacks are  Fruit, cheese and crackers, and yogurt.

Momlogic’s nutrition expert, Haylie Pomroy will be answering reader questions about nutrition.  Your readers are welcome to submit their questions to her and she will post answers starting the week of September 14th.  You can submit questions to [email protected]

Looney Tunes Eating right for kids

- brandy3

Warner Bros. consumer products and Safeway have teamed up to create a better for you line of food for children.  Bring flavor and nutrition together along with images of the Looney characters. The line includes breakfast, portable meals, diry, snacks, and beverages. Each product has characters ranging from Marvin the martian, Taz, Bugs Bunny and more.

Obesity is a growing problem among our children nationwide, which, if not addressed, can lead to severe health issues in adulthood.  As parents, teaching healthy eating habits and educating our children on how to choose to eat healthy is one of the best habits you can instill in your kids. 

o According to a 2009 study, almost 1 in 5 American 4-year-olds is obese – that’s more than half a million 4-year-olds.
o The number of overweight and obese children (10 to 17 years old) is at or above 30 percent in 30 states.
o Research has also shown that overweight and obese children generally go on to become obese adults, with all the chronic, weight-related health issues that involves, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

My children love fruits, so i always make sure to have plenty. they are good for you and a lot better than other foods. My daughters do have a problem of asking for dessert after every meal, and I’ll admit that i cave in sometimes.  I try and teach them that if you eat all your good nutritious food, then you’ll get rewarded. i have changed the reward from cookies to yogurt.  They never complain!  What works best is to have no unhealthy food in the house.   I also try to mix some veggies into certain foods. like onions in to burgers, green beans into salad, plus i’ve been making a lot of pasta salad.  Its worked!
Looney Tunes Eat Right Kids Program is featured on Momlogic.comstarting August 24th and will feature an Eating Right blog from Haylie Pomroy to showcase healthy recipes, expert tips and the Looney Tunes Eating Right product recommendation to help moms save prep time when creating healthy menus and school lunches.

I’ll admit I’m a sucker for junk food if it’s in the house i have no control. My children know it’s there and will beg for it constantly.   I have learned that i need to overcome my own eating habits before i can cotrol my children’s eating habits.  Some of the challenges i face are getting my kids to eat healthy. They have som great new healthy foods for children out that have the looney tunes characters on them.

another challenge i face is adding more than just dairy into their snack time.   My kids love milk and cheese, and they would eat that all day if they could.

The WB Archive Collection

- brandy3

is there a movie you miss, and you want to see it on dvd, now you can

matinggamethe_cover1

the “Warner Archive Collection” (www.WarnerArchive.com), a selection of movies spanning more than 60 years of filmmaking never before available on DVD.  The world’s largest film and television vault is finally open to consumers who can now purchase authentic DVD and digital downloads of more than 150 classic titles for the first time drawn from Warner Bros. Entertainment’s unparalleled film library consisting of pre-1986 MGM, RKO Radio Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures films.  They include Academy Award nominee “Sunrise at Campobello,” “The Citadel,” “Mr. Lucky,” and many others from the Golden Age of Hollywood and beyond.    

 

To order their movies, fans visit www.WarnerArchive.com, select their titles, and upon purchase, a state-of-the-art manufacturing on demand (MOD) system creates a made-to-order DVD indistinguishable in quality from a standard pressed DVD.  The system places the DVD into a hard plastic Amaray case featuring custom artwork; shrink wraps it and ships the finished package to the customer which arrives in approximately five days.  The cost per title is $19.95, plus shipping.  Alternatively, movie fans can purchase digital downloads of these classic films to enjoy immediately on their PC.  The cost for a digital download is $14.95 per title.

Initially the Warner Archive Collection offers 150 sought after titles including “Possessed” starring Clark Gable and Joan Crawford; “Once Upon a Honeymoon” starring Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers; and “All Fall Down” starring Warren Beatty and Eva Marie Saint.  Every month approximately 20 classic films and television programs will be added and by year’s end more than 300 titles will be available online. 

Although a lot of these movies were before my time i still think this is a clever idea. i think a lot of the older movies are more funnier and better to watch than the movies they have now. there collection starts in the 20’s and goes to the 80’s.

plus you can visit www.archivecollection.com and vote for new titles you’d like to see in the collection.
