Healthy Eating Habits Start at Home #JennieO4kids

Children learn by example. Healthy eating habits start at home and that’s why I provide healthy meals for my family. If a child grows up never incorporating healthy foods into their diet they are more inclined to become overweight and struggle with health issues. By forming this habit early, children will be more likely to choose a healthier lifestyle than those who don’t know any better.

Most of the time I take the boys with me to the grocery store. At this young age, everything is fun and there’s always a lesson to be learned. On our recent trip to Wal-Mart  I picked up Jennie-O turkey sausage.

A New Winter Wardrobe Thanks to #CookieKids

The weather is finally turning cold in Florida and the kids have outgrown their winter wardrobe. I love to shop online so I went on the hunt for winter fashion pieces for the boys. In fact I did all of my holiday shopping online this year. Yay for saving gas, and time by avoiding the long lines ! :)

Anyway, back to the agenda: kids winter clothing. I came across a site called Cookie’s Kids. This NYC based company has 7 stores in New York including locations in Bronx, Brooklyn, and Jamaica. Headquartered in a city that holds New York Fashion Week, I knew they would be on the up and up of kids styles.

Last Minute Wrapping with Starbucks #DeliciousPairings

Coffee is something that unites us as a community, country, and world. The smell is invigorating and recognizable no matter where you are.

On a recent trip to Wal-Mart I noticed a Starbucks Delicious Pairings display in the bakery section. I thought, what a neat idea. Just like with wine, it describes the flavors that pair well with each coffee.

Potty Training with Pull-Ups #HuggiesWalmart

For some time now baby boy (22 months) has shown the classic signs for potty training. We’ve done some light training with great results and feel that he’s ready. With Christmas break in sight, we have decided to set a goal and have him potty trained by the end of the year.

I thought it was important to make our little guy feel part of the process so I took him to Wal-Mart to pick out his training pants. I noticed that Huggies Pull-Ups were on roll back for just $8.97 and combined that with a $2 off coupon, making them great for my budget. Plus they have characters from the Disney Pixar movie Cars, making them super fun for him.
