Summer has officially arrived and it is hot hot H-A-W-T here in Texas. The kids are out of school and we keep our days filled with the gym (for me), the pool (for them), and playdates (for both of us). With it being so hot and this mama only able to take so much of the pool with three children, that still leaves us with a lot of time IN THE HOUSE. I'm trying to keep us busy, entertained and not bored.
I found that when we are at home on a hot day with nothing to do, we tend to snack more and move less. No es bueno! I want to teach my children to make nutritious choices and that movement can and is fun, that being active is the way to go.
Consider organic for your baby – SPROUT Organic Baby Food giveaway »
Every time I have a baby, I resort back to basics and begin incorporating more all-natural and organic foods into my and my baby’s diet.
OK, I only have two children, but find it interesting that this urge to eat better comes with having a baby. With my first daughter, I went through an all organic phase (even with cookies and crackers!) and figured I was giving my child the very best. Now with baby number two – a mere 12 years later –I’ve not only begun eating organic while breastfeeding, but I am looking at organic baby food options.

Taste of Home’s Cooks Who Care Cookbook (review + giveaway) »
Winner Winner: The winner of the Taste of Home Cookbook is Chris Simon ( csblog711@gmail.com)! Please check your mail for details and congrats. Comments are closed.
It's no secret that I am a huge fan of Taste of Home and all of their cookbook/magazine products. I was first introduced to the Taste of Home magazine years back by my mom, who gave me a subscription as a Christmas present. I blame her for my obsession with all things Taste of Home now!
When given the opportunity to review one of their newer publications, The Cooks Who Care Cookbook, it should come as no surprise that I jumped at the chance. Let me just say that this cookbook delivered on all that it promised and more.
Green napkins – or floral print if you prefer: Pushing Daisies review and giveaway »
We have five members in our family, so using a paper napkin for every meal throughout the day uses a lot of napkins. I tried using cloth napkins in the past, but never liked the designs and wouldn’t commit to using them every day. My fear of napkin commitment changed when I found Picking Daisies.

Moody Mamas maternity line launches at Target.com!
As I enter the final month of my pregnancy (4 weeks to go!), dressing around my growing belly continues to be a challenge. Although I have a decent maternity wardrobe (thanks to this being my second pregnancy in 3 years), I have to admit I'm a little bored with its offerings at this point. Even though I'm in the home stretch – I still find myself yearning for new clothes to get me through these next few weeks. Moody Mamas to the rescue!
