Pasta with 1 full serving of veggies that kids will actually eat!!

Like myself, I'm sure many of you out there are always trying to get veggies into the bellies of your children- NOT an easy task! On my last food shopping trip, I came across Barilla Piccolini wheels with zucchini and spinach. This enriched zucchini and spinach pasta blend offers ONE FULL SERVING OF VEGGIES!!! I will warn you, they are green in color- something I was worried about. Once I mixed the mini rotelle with sauce, I could hardly see the green color and my kids didn't notice at all!!! They also have mini farfalle with tomatoes and carrots and mini pipe with carrots and squash. I haven't tried the last two but plan to. I feel so much better serving my kids pasta that have a full serving of veggies!! I hope your kids enjoy it as much as mine do!

Kids also enjoy the miniature size!!

So happy with my Name Bubbles- definitely a great buy!

My 4 year old started Pre- K in September and everything has to be labeled. I didn't want to write in all her clothing or her backpack. I googled away and came across Name Bubbles. I was apprehensive because I never thought the labels would really wash well...well, I was wrong and I'm happy I was!! I bought the Pre- K package. It comes with enough labels for everything and then some. I even use the shoe labels for her ballet and tap shoes. I have labeled all of her jackets, sweaters, backpack, lunchbag and shoes!! I have washed her jackets quite a few times already and the labels have held up really well. If you want neat labeling that stays intact, go for Name Bubbles....worth every penny.

Many color and design options to choose from...& It's fun too!

I just read this article- 10 things not to say to your childfree friends!

A friend of mine (without kids) just posted this article from Parents magazine on facebook. I dont think its meant to be funny but I did find myself laughing at some of the dont's listed! I have without a doubt said "this must be birth control for you" to many a childless friend!

Perfect snack for when your on the go!

Revolution Foods make these yummy, organic yogurt filled sandwich bars called Grammy Sammy. They come in three different flavors that are each equally delicious. Cinnamon graham & vanilla yogurt, cocoa graham & banana yogurt (my personal favorite!) and honey graham and strawberry yogurt. They are made with 100% whole grains and have no high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients or transfats. I bought them at Wild by Nature but they are sold in many places including Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby. These are great to throw in your bag on your way out with the kiddies. I even snack on them!! They really are good and satisfying.

This hat will warm your heart!

My best friend recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. As I was looking for a gift for the new bundle of joy, I came across this amazing hat on Etsy. This is great for professional pictures or pictures taken at home in those first days home with a new baby. I'm so upset I didn't see this when my son was first born! Search children's accessories.

 

Slippers that double as a toy!!

When I brought these CARS slippers home for my son, he was cracking up at them and couldn't wait to put them on! I found them in Payless. They are absolutely adorable when he wears them- or plays with them!!
