Emergen-C

I have drank Emergen-C for a long time. I think I started drinking them when I was in high school, which was prior to 1994.  I drink them when I'm feeling low in energy. It's just full of vitamins. I love that the powder can be drank warm or cool. When I have a cold I just don't feel like drinking just water. By drinking Emergen-C, you have to add water. I know I'm getting extra fluids that my body needs.

A Giveaway Mommy is hosting a giveaway for Emergen-C. One reader will win boxes of all 3 flavors they sell for kids!

I Want a New Mini Food Processor

Ours is pretty bad. I want a new one. ATG Stores.com has one I like! I use it to grind up nuts, oatmeal, veggies, fruit, bread crumbs and more.

Going Out to Eat? How to Make it Healthier.

Who doesn't like Olive Garden? I love it!

Tips to make your experience healthier:

• Have them keep the dressing on the side. 
• Split a meal. I often times eat 1/2 a meal. Then I save the other 1/2 for lunch the next day. I could split the meal with my husband, but he's not watching what he eats.
• Don't eat so many bread sticks!

Trying to Stay Calm is hosting a giveaway for one winner to win a $25 GC to Olive Garden! YUMMY!

Off With Your Head!

I'd love to win a $50 GC to Buycostumes.com! They are giving one away at Trying to Stay Calm.

What I'd get:

It would be so fun to say, "Off with your head!" to my students all day long!

Lavish and Lime

I most certainly lavish over most the things this company sells!

Just a few things I think are cool:

I heart basil and popsicles. Not together of course.

My husband tried his own hydroponic grow system and the plant didn't make it. It could have just been a bad plant. I've love to try it again.

I've been making popsicles like crazy this summer. If we have extra juice from the juicer they go right into popsicles. My molds aren't BPA free, and the ones at Lavish and Lime are.

Natural Mama is giving away a $25 GC to Lavish and Lime. My biggest problem if I win, is to choose what to get.

Getting Out of the House

I love getting out of the house. It's just that 2 little things make it hard to travel: My son's Mica and Isaak. They won't sleep in the car. They are very much all boy!

I do resort to a DVD player during these times. We don't watch a lot of TV at home. So it's nice to have a something for them to watch in the car.

Go Graham Go! is giving away a Sony Portable Blu-ray Disc Player! We're in the stone ages with technology in some regards. We have no cable or NetFlix. When I tell some people this they look at me like I'm nuts!

Popchips

Want a healthier snacking alternative to chips?

I'm always looking for different snacks for my kids. I want them to have variety! Sometimes they get raw veggies, fresh fruit, bunny crackers, hummus and pretzel chips. Variety is the spice of life!

Popchips are all-natural “popped” chips are made from wholesome potatoes, with a hint of natural seasonings.
