I have 3 picky eaters in this house which makes it almost impossible for me to cook healthy meals.  At least my 5 year old will try new things, but my 3 year old and 39 year old (otherwise known as my husband) won't.  This makes it very challenging when making dinner.  We are Italian and have pasta quite often and I've thought about buying 'brown' pasta but I know it won't make it past my picky crowd. I can't tell you how happy I was to find out that Uncle Ben's has a new kind of rice; Whole Grain White Rice.  It looks and tastes like white rice, but has all of the benefits of whole grains.  There is no way they would ever know the difference, as long as it tasted good. Uncle Ben’s, along...

I have been selected as an Aquafina FlavorSplash Ambassador.  Each week, for 6 weeks my family and I will receive a different flavor to try along with some coupons to give away for FREE 6 packs of Aquafina FlavorSplash and some yummy FlavorSplash Lip Balms!  Of course I will be sharing them here on the blog and in person to my friends, family and anyone else I can! I drink water all-the-time.  I rarely have soda anymore.  When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter I stopped drinking soda and just never went back.  Even when we have gatherings and everyone is drinking soda, I usually have water.   I just got used to it and it's so much better for my body. I've been trying to get my oldest to...

I loved Ring Pops as a kid.  It was cool having a BIG ring on my finger and the fact that it tasted so good, just made it even better.  Now that I'm a mom, I cringe at the thought of all the sugar going into their  mouths and then when you factor in that it can take like an hour to eat the entire Ring Pop, well lets just say I wasn't a huge fan of them and they were only for a Special treat. That changed the day that I received a bag of Sugar Free Ring Pops.  I was very excited because I know how much I enjoyed my rings so I'm happy that my girls can too.  But of course I was curious, how good are they if they are sugar free.   The bag I received had 3 ring pops, which was perfect; one for...

Spring is here, the flowers and trees are blooming and the allergies are flaring!  I suffered bad allergies when I was a teenager and the minute Spring rolled around and they started opening the windows at school, it all began!  There weren't as many allergy meds then (not that it was that long ago) and the ones that worked made me drowsy so I just had to suffer.  Fortunately I grew out of that and very rarely am I effected by the allergens in the air now and that makes me very happy.  My three year old isn't so lucky.  Her eyes water like crazy and it makes me so sad to see her like that.  We have a lot of trees and flowers in our yard so there's no way of avoiding it. What I had not...

I'm not a huge germaphobic but I do try not to let my family touch unnecessary things that probably have germs on them.  If you were in a public bathroom with me and my girls, you'd surely hear me telling them over and over again "Don't Touch Anything" especially after we wash our hands.  I'm happy when they have automatic soap dispensers and paper dispensers so even I don't have to touch anything. "Despite elevated concerns about illness-causing germs, most families don’t suspect that their household soap pumps might actually be transferring bacteria to their hands. However, a recent study found that soap pumps can harbor hundreds of bacteria. Every time families touch their soap pumps,...
