Hot Pocket Bites Are Such A Fun Snack

July 5, 2015July 24, 2015 - brandy3

Summer is here and the kids are home all day long and every couple hours all I hear is “Can I have a snack” over and over again. I do’t like to give my kids a lot of sugar so I opt for something healthy like fruit or something very simple to make.

Hot Pockets now come in Bites, which is the perfect alternative for snack time.

Hot Pocket Bites come in three different varieties Ham and Cheese, Cheese Pizza, and Pepperoni Pizza.

** We tried all 3 varieties and loved them, even my daughter who hates mozzarella cheese ate the pepperoni bites and liked them. They are so easy to make just put on a plate and microwave for about 2 minutes and you have the perfect snack.
My kids kept asking for more, we went through 3 bags in one day, although the bags are a bit small. My favorite would had to be the ham and cheese, it was so good and tasted like you were eating a fresh off the grill Ham and cheese sandwich.

You can find Hat Pocket Bites in the grocery section of local retailers for $2.99.

AquaBall Naturally Flavored Water, enhanced with vitamins, provides parents and kids a healthier alternative to traditional sodas and other high caloric, artificially colored and flavored beverages.

Essential B and C Vitamins
Natural Fruit Flavors

We first saw these in the store and my kids immediately ran to them because they feature all their favorite Disney characters, like Elsa and Olaf or Dusty from Planes. When we tried them my kids thought they were very good. They said it was sweet but still tasted like water and that they could drink it all the time, and asked for it to be packed in their lunches for school.
Their favorite flavor is fruit punch, they said it tastes the most like juice. Most of their friends are drinking these at school too, so they know there popular.
Aquaball makes a perfect stocking stuffer this holiday season, it’s small and can fit in any stocking plus you can pick up a bottle usually for a little over one dollar.

I went out and bought more thinking they would be a perfect stocking stuffer in addition to just being something my kids liked, there are so many fun things to do with the Aquaball bottle. You can make ornaments for the tree or fill it with colored sand. Check out all the fun activities you can do with Aquaball on Pinterest.

brag time

February 29, 2008January 2, 2020 - brandy3 1 Comment

The Parent Bloggers www.blog.parentbloggers.com want me to brag about my kids today. my kids have a lot of strenghths, but on the same note they also have weeknesses. i would love to read a book called child strengths by Jennifer Fox and learn how to discover more of their strengths. go check out her website to learn more about the book http://www.jeniferfox.com

i have three children. My son is only two months old so obviously I can’t really see much in him. he is a very healthy and happy baby though. constantly smiling. My oldest daughter is 2 years old, she’ll be three in april. she’s going to have success in so many things. she loves to sing and dance. she knows her abcs and can count to 20. she can say our last name perfectly. I can’t tell you how big of an accomplishment that is. adults can never get it right. Walleshauser! She is a scientist right now she knows all about molecules and astronomy. she makes the family stuff to eat all the time. It’s made out of toys and crayons, but it’s the thought that counts shes on her way. one thing i’m so proud of is her ability to learn things so fast. I’m 23 and know like 5 words in spanish. My daughter watches Dora and Diego. now she runs around the house speaking Spanish.

My middle daughter is 21 months old. She can do most of what her sister can do. her abcs, can count to 15. she is our character comedien. She goes around singing songs. Her favorites are the Wonder Pets and Elmo songs. She can make people laugh in an instant just by making faces or putting on a show with her toys. My kids are really young and i know that i will discover much more of their strengths over time, but I’am so proud of them for what they’ve been able to show me so far.
