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]

This post was written for the WB Word, i have been hired by them for this campaign.

Looney tunes eating right with kids

- brandy3

182805a474_Eating_Right_Kids_LogoAs a mom I always try to make sure my kids eat healthy.  With school starting that becomes even harder. I know growing up my parents always gave me money for lunch, i hated cafeteria food, so I would eat at the snack bar. I don’t want my kids to eat that way daily. So I am taking time every morning to pack their lunches.

Even better Safeway has teamed up with Warner Bros. Luney Tunes to create Eating Right Kids. With meals, snacks, cereals and drinks that kids will love- and parents will feel good about.

My kids of course loved the apple juice, The cheese ravioli not so much. We are not big ravioli fans. they loved the chocolate chewy bar! the lunch tote is so cute, perfect for the little ones.

Thanks to team mom for this opportunity

Saving on style for the kids

- brandy3

 

If I see a great bargain, i’ll but it. Even if the clothes won’t fit my kids for a year or so. They grow so fast, and usually you won’t find great  bargains like that. Yesterday I found Disney baseball caps and even full summer outfits for $1.00 a piece. stocked up. My son is only twenty months and i bought outfits all the way up to 3T. He’ll be there soon, so why not.

I love shopping at outlets and thrift stores for my kids, you find amazing deals, brand names, and great styles.  I know when people think thrift store, you think used, cheap. Actually a lot of the clothes are gently used, and I’ve even found clothes that are brandnew with the tags still on.

I try and teach my children about saving money.  I always tell them that you should always try to hit the clearance rac first, toI’ve also taught them that name isn’t everything. its quality and price that really matters.

I have to admit that I am really bad about shopping. I usually will buy kids clothes when i see a great bargain, if my kids need clothes or not.

Celestial Seasonings Tea Review

- brandy3 2 Comments

In 1969, a group of passionate young entrepreneurs founded Celestial Seasonings upon the belief that their flavorful, all-natural herbal teas could help people live healthier lives. They harvested fresh herbs from the Rocky Mountains by hand, and then dried, blended and packaged them in hand-sewn muslin bags to be sold at local health food stores. By staying committed to their vision, the founders of Celestial Seasonings turned their cottage industry into an almost overnight success.

Today, Celestial Seasonings is the largest specialty tea manufacturer in North America. They serve more than 1.6 billion cups of tea every year, and they source more than 100 different ingredients from over 35 countries to create our delicious, all-natural herbal, green, red, white, chai and wellness teas.

Celestial Seasonings is celebrating 40 yrs. with adding some new flavors to their line.

  • Goji Berry Pomegranate Green Tea
  • raspberry Gardens Green Tea
  • Blueberry Breeze Green Tea
  • Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea
  • Authentic Green Tea
  • Antioxidant Green Tea
  • Decaf Mint Green Tea
  • Decaf mandarin Orchard Green Tea
  • Decaf Green Tea

all products contain

  • 100 percent natural, zero calorie tea
  • Authentic green teas now infused with white tea for a smoother flavor profile
  • natural antioxidants from both green and white tea
  • rigorous testing ensures quality and consistency in every cup

available in retail stores or on www.celestialseasonings.com for $2.99

I received the Sleepytime Vanilla-(caffeine free), Authentic Green Tea with antioxidant, and Decaf mandarin Orchard Green Tea

***I have to say all the teas were delicious, My husband drank majority of the Celestial Seasonings and he would agree. Delicious.  It has a better taste to it than regular Green Tea.  I would have to say my favorite was the Authentic Green Tea, we like the caffeine and the strong flavor

Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!: Wubbzy Goes Boo
    

 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Product description: Grab your kookiest costume and head on down to Wuzzleburg for some ghoulish fun in the all new 70 minute  Halloween DVD.

This dvd has 5 spooky episodes

Wubbzy’s Magical Mess Up– When Moo Moo the Magician asks Wubbzy to watch his magical wand, Wubbzy loses control and soon monkeys, elephants and kickity kick balls are running wild! When he returns, establishing order, Wubbzy promises to practice more before he tries any more magic.

Tea for Three-Wubbzy decides to throw  a tea party, but he doesn’t know how. Widget builds a tea party machine, the Tea Time 3000, to make sandwiches and tea, but it malfunctions and does everything wrong.  They’re afraid the tea party was a disaster, but Wubbzy has been having a great time, and thats what a tea party is all about.

Monster Madness-Wubbzy gets scared by a TV show and starts seeing monsters everywhere! Widget build a monster masher to take care of any monsters, but soon she starts seeing monsters too! They rush to Walden’s house and Walden takes out his flashlight to show them all the monsters they saw were just ordinary objects in the dark.

The Last Leaf- Walden is collecting leaves, and he is waiting patiently for the last leaf to fall off the Old  Figgity Fig Tree. Wubbzy and Widget would rather play in the leaf pile. When they return, they find Walden fast asleep! And here comes the last leaf! As the wind takes it away, Wubbzy and Widget are left to chase the errant Leaf all over Wuzzleburg.

The Ghost of Wuzzleburg-It’s the Halloween party at the Wubb Club, and Wubbzy builds his own scary costume out of junk, and scares the party guests. While he’s hiding he notices a ghost sheet floating all by itself. It’s a real ghost! Then the sheet falls off and we see it was only birdy-bird. Birdy-Bird wins for most scariest costume, and Wubbzy wins for most scared person! 

Plus there is a bonus episode

March of the Pumpkins-Wubbzy wants to find the biggest pumpkin, so he can be named Pumpkin King. But Walden and Widget warn him, look out for the real Pumpkin King! Before Wubbzy can get a pumpkin, the Pumpkin King catches them. Luckily he turns out to be a great guy, and he gives Wubbzy and daizy a ride back to the festival just in time for the big march!

***With Halloween just around the corner this movie is packed with scary fun for preschoolers. My Children enjoyed it very much.    Our favorite episode is Monster Madness. My daughter has been having night terrors, and with this episode I can show her that even Wubbzy gets scared, but it turns out to be nothing.   With Monsters, Ghosts, and Pumpkins  this DVD is packed with halloween fun!
