Waterpik Kept Me From Killing My Son

OK, well, I am probably being a bit dramatic but lets face it~braces are EXPENSIVE! Nothing drives me more insane than him not taking care of them. He is 13, he really doesn’t care if he drives me crazy, in fact, I think he rather enjoys it.

I was commiserating with other mothers of brace clad children and I was saying that I should get him a Waterpik. I had one when I was wearing braces (hey, I am not that old people) and I remember it working really well. Of course, I was a girl and I actually cared if I had thing stuck in them but alas…

I was so happy when Waterpik contacted me and asked if I wanted to review one. Strange how I was just talking about it!

He thought the whole concept was “weird” when we first unpacked the Ultra Dental Water Jet it but now he is hooked on it. According to him it is really easy to use and it gets all the “crud” out of the back teeth better than flossing, lol. It has cool attachments that let him brush or ‘floss’.

I don’t care how he describes it as long as he keeps using it! If you have kids in braces I think this is a must have. Here is a $5 off coupon for Waterpik!

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU

I was so excited when 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU 10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION came out on Blu-Ray this week. Loving our new Blu Ray player and this movie. Heath Ledger at his best (and youngest). Based on Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew this teenage culture flick had me both of laughing and shedding a few ‘chick flick’ tears. Such a great little break after all the holidays, the timing of the release could not have been more perfect. Go grab a copy and some popcorn and take a little mom break! You deserve it!

*Disclosure: I was provided this movie free of charge so that I could share my honest opinions with you.

Lunchables Lunch Note Promise and Party!

Come out and party with us and help support a great cause!

I think it is so important to let your kids know that you love them and are thinking about them every chance you get. Leaving little note in my sons lunchbox has been something that I have been doing since he started school 3 years ago. He loves the surprise and showing them to all of his friends. That makes me feel great to because I know he isn’t embarrassed by mom yet!

If you haven’t heard about the Oscar Mayer Lunch Note Promise campaign then allow me to fill you in! Lunchables is asking that parents do just a very simple task…promise to give a lunch note to your kids. It can be about anything that you wish! Some words of encouragement fr the big game coming up? Wishing them well on a test? How about just a simple, “I love you!”. Lunchables even has some pre-made fancy designs that you can print and use. Just click on the set you want, download the PDF to your PC,  print the set, cut out the individual notes and the rest is only limited to your imagination! Drop it in your child’s lunchbox and your done!

What could make this campaign even more special? For every parent who makes the lunch note promise, the Lunchables team will donate a meal to a child and their family in need through Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, which serves an estimated nine million children annually. The goal is to turn up to 100,000 promises from moms like you into up to 100,000 meals from Lunchables Lunch Combination’s for kids in need.  Are you ready to promise to join the campaign to give children what they need – a little encouragement? Lunchables has received over 47,000 promised to date and YOU can help them reach their goal of 100,000!

Making your promise takes less than 30 seconds. Simply visit LunchNotePromise.com, enter your state, email address and click PROMISE NOW! That’s it! While your there, check out the splash that Lunchables is making with their NEW Lunchables! There are 6 different varieties including A Turkey sandwich made from 100% turkey breast, spring water, apple sauce, and bread made with whole grain. Lunchables just got even better! Throw in the Lunch Note Promise and you’ve got something you can really feel good about.

As if helping out Feeding America wasn’t motivation enough to take the promise, you can also win some great prizes for joining us! This Thursday, Lunchables will be giving away some FANTASTIC PRIZES!

Weekend Warriors

As National Eat Together Week comes to a close, prepare a wholesome yet healthy brunch for the family.  A recent study published by the British Journal of Nutrition shows that people who eat high-quality protein foods for breakfast, like eggs and lean Canadian bacon, had a greater sense of sustained fullness throughout the day.

Try the recipe for Baked Egg with Canadian Bacon, Tomato and Potatoes, which combines Canadian Bacon with potato wedges, tomato and fresh chives in individual ramekins. Each is topped with an egg and half-and-half, baked, then sprinkled with cheese. The savory brunch options pairs well with whole grain toast, fresh fruit and juice.

• After brunch, plan some weekend activities to do as a group – it’s a chance to reconnect after a hectic week: Encourage computer wizards to find new recipes online (TheOtherWhiteMeat.com is a great place to start!) and help with family meal planning for the next week. When heading to the grocery store, let kids help comparison shop to find the lowest prices.

• Take the bikes for a spin and enjoy a nice day. Pack a picnic lunch and an outdoor game to enjoy in the grass.

• Get out the rake and gardening tools and find someone who could use some free yard work. Everyone can pitch in and help.

• Head to a local farmers’ market to check out what’s in season now. Let the kids pick out a new vegetable or fruit and talk to the farmer about how they grew it.

• Make sure you have left a comment for all the wonderful recipes you downloaded this week because the $100 giftcard contest closes today!
