As moms, we all know that it is important to keep our child’s teeth brushed and to limit juice and other sugary foods. Did you know that eating cheese can also help prevent cavities? At Colbin’s last dental visit the dentist recommended that Colbin snack on cheese to keep his teeth healthy.
Getting your family to eat a healthy diet can be one of the most challenging tasks a mommy faces each day. Some of you may be too busy with your day to day schedules that you think you don’t have time to prepare a healthy meal and some of you may be trying to figure out a healthy meal that your entire family will actually eat. My family loves pasta. It is quick to fix and can be a really healthy meal for all of us. I buy the new pasta by Ronzoni called Smart Pasta.

Happy weekend Moms! There’s not going to be much substance to this post today (sorry), but just wanted to point out an observation while shopping at the local Sam’s Wholesale Club.

It never fails! I guess it’s a guilt thing. I used to do this myself, but then thought about how the employee could care less about whether or not you purchased the sample they were serving…

Here is an activity that is great for snapping the cold weather blues. Plan an Read the rest of this entry »
Hello Mommies!
In order to keep up with our kids and our many roles as a mother we need to take a little time to focus on ourselves and get healthy! The other night while I was up trying to rock Colbin (our oldest) back to sleep, who was struggling with a belly ache, I fell victim to a middle of the night infomercial. I lied, I wasn’t a victim…I love those things!!! After watching this health focused infomercial I came to the realization that Read the rest of this entry »
