Introducing – Tommee Tippee* & Giveaway!

I would love to introduce to you Tommee Tippee. What is Tommee Tippee you ask ?

It is a Brand New product that is hitting the store shelves in Babies R Us and Toys R Us stores near you!

I have had the great honor of trying their Sippy Cups and Baby Bottles on my daughter, and I wish they would’ve gotten to the USA sooner!

Here is some details of the “‘truly spill-proof first sips cup” -

• unique soft-flex spout
• advance flo- technology for easy drinking (Active Sensor valve system)
• BPA FREE
• Leak Proof
• have been around for 50 years in the UK
• Supports Natural Oral Development
• Progressively Staged

What I thought about these Sippy Cups (My personal opinion) -

Upon first glance of the sippy cups, I immediately noticed the handles. I really like the soft handles that make it easy for my daughter to hold the sippy cup. After opening it, I noticed the creatively designed spout. It is different than any other sippy cup I have ever used with my children. My daughter  seems to like these sippy cups very well. They are easy to clean and also I truly have not had any problems with accidental leakage. Other sippy cups still tend to leak occasionally when turned upside down. The only trouble I had at all with the cup was getting the lid off for the first time. It is really smooth and takes a little getting used to. On the other hand I really like this about the cup, so my daughter cannot get the lid off and spill it every where. And once you get used to the lid, it is a piece of cake.

The Tommee Tippy Cup holds 5 fl oz. of liquid, and retails at Toys R US and Babies R US for approx.  $4.99.

Tommee Tippee Baby Bottles

Upon first glance at the Tommee Tippee bottles, I noticed the wide mouth top, making them so much easier to fill with milk than other bottles. I also love the nipples on the bottles. My daughter took to them right away, with no troubles at all. I love the caps too, they do not fall off like other bottles I have used.

Here are some more specific details on the bottles :

• BPA FREE
• 3 packs cost about $17.99 at Babies R Us/Toys R Us, which to me is a GREAT price for a 3 pack of bottles
• 9 oz bottles instead of typical 8 oz ones
• soft, naturally flexing nipples – making them more natural for babies
• natural shape for babies to latch onto easier
• ultrasensitive anti-colic valve lets babies feed at their own pace with reduced risk of gas and colic
• very comfortable to hold

You can purchase them, read more, and see more photo’s of them, and more reviews here : http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3918819

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. Hillshire Farm Turkey Lit’l Smokies

Top with sauerkraut with Lit’l Smokies and apple mixture. Bake 30 – 35 minutes or until hot.

ENJOY while watching your favorite Winter Olympic games!

Thanks to the great folks at Sara Lee and Hillshire Farm, I was sent a package of : Turkey Lit’l Smokies and Hillshire Farm Chicken Smoked Sausage samples to try.

The Hillshire Farm Chicken Smoked Sausage just came out this month! So you can go pick some up at your favorite grocery store today!

My family really enjoyed the Hillshire Farm Sausages. It was  nice  for a nice hot meal that smelled soooooo great while baking. I believe you can also make this recipe in a slow cooker, if you would like the smell to linger all day long. I love the smell of sauerkraut! We ate it while watching the snow fall all around us (outside) and it made our tummies so good and full. This is a wonderful winter time meal. The chicken sausage was just as good as any other of the sausages that Hillshire Farm makes. Then yes, we did watch the Olympics on tv after. I am so impressed by the skiing and how fast they zoom down those hills like it is easy as a piece of pie! They are very fun to watch.

Enjoy the recipe and enjoy the Olympics too

The Plus Size Mommy

* I was sent the packages of sausage, coupons, and recipes at no charge thanks to Sara Lee, and Hillshire Farm. Our home has always eaten Hillshire Farm brand and Sara Lee brand items. The thoughts and review of the recipe, and words are all my own honest opinion. Hillshire Farm was also a partial sponsor of mine for the Blissdom conference.

Do you Do the 5-Second Rule?* (WIN)

Ahh the mighty 5-second rule. Yep, we use it at our home (MOST of the time). Although lately I am thinking renewed stipulations are needed to be told to my children

This came about when my 10 yr. old son was eating spaghetti with meatball’s one night a couple weeks ago, and well, we all know the song…and then my poor meatball fell down to the floor, rolled out the door, and became a spaghetti tree?

NOT HERE…. Nope, after my son’s meatball fell onto the floor he picked it up, and popped it back into his mouth, before anyone could even say a word and ate it ! YUCK, yea, I know…I was so grossed out, he didn’t even look at it to see if any dirt was on it! ICK, I still gag thinking about it. But to a boy of age 10, this was most cool and funny. NOTTT!

So, I ask…Do you incorporate the 5 second rule in your home ?

I mean, if it is like a piece of something that the chance of something sticking to it is slim, I don’t mind, but a sauce covered meatball, this is where I draw the line, lol

As we settle into the winter months, it is important to remember that we’ve also entered peak season for colds and flu. Now is the time to focus on how you can be ready for when cold and/or flu symptoms appear..

Triaminic® has developed two online tools  to help you and your family this cold and flu season.

1) The Sick Day Guidelines , created in partnership with the National Association of School Nurses – Parents know when their kids aren’t feeling 100%. These Guidelines are aimed at helping parents decide when to keep them at home or send them off to school.

Being aware of the activity in your area (or an area that you are traveling) can help you prepare for when cold and flu symptoms appear.

Q-tips and Elephants you can WIN*

Q-tips® cotton swabs has teamed up with Celebrity Nursery Designer, Wendy Bellissimo, to introduce the newest addition to the Q-tips® family – Q-tips® Baby Packs.  Wendy, who is no stranger to designing perfect nursery spaces, has worked with celebrity moms like Brooke Shields and Kelly Ripa.  She has great tips and tricks to create a nursery that is both beautiful and practical … to care for any baby with style!

I was sent a nursery pack with the following included :

o   NEW Q-tips® Baby Packs in two designs (safari & farm animals)

- The new Q-tips® Baby Packs are a stylish nursery essential that are functional and finally cute enough to keep out in the baby’s room

-  In two adorable nursery animal designs, these space-saving packs make it easy for mom to keep Q-tips® cotton swabs at her fingertips and feature a sliding drawer that helps keep Q-tips® clean for use in baby care

o   A chic, silver elephant bank to display in baby’s room – another nursery design essential

o   OH BABY!   Wendy Bellissimo Shares Her Tips on How To Create The Perfect Nursery

The Q-tip nursery boxes are simply adorable. When the Q-tips are gone I am going to re-purpose them to hold my daughters little jewelry and hair accessories. They are too cute to throw away. I love how they slide too. There are 285 Q-tips in each pack. (will be coming to Walmart and Target and will retail for about  $3.19 per pack).

The little silver elephant bank is simply gorgeous. It has pastel colors on it too. It is a heavy little bank and will make my daughters nursery even more complete. Every little baby needs a bank to keep their money from birthdays and holidays. Or for potty time rewards when the time comes.

TIPS from Wendy Bellissimo :

1. Be Your Own Designer: Go through magazines, catalogs and visit baby & furniture stores to see the looks available. Choose a style that feels most natural to you so the nursery can become an extension of your home. Then create your own book or board of clippings, fabric samples and photos for inspiration. Start the design process well before your due date so that you have time to relax before the baby’s arrival.
2. Save the Paint for Last: Select your nursery furniture and fabric before you paint. It is easy to find a paint shade to match your furniture/fabrics and not always the other way around. Keep in mind, furniture and fabrics do not all need to match – a great mix of textures that complement each other can add a truly custom, “designer” feel.
3. Don’t Sacrifice Style for Functionality: It is easy to create a beautiful, organized space in the nursery to care for your baby (without the piles of diapers and a mess of toiletries). Place a basket or fabric covered box (from an arts & crafts or paper store) on the changing table or shelf above and fill with diapers, Vaseline® petroleum jelly, diaper cream and rubbing alcohol. One nursery essential you won’t have to hide is the new Q-tips® Baby Pack! They are available in two adorable nursery animal designs and are functional (with a new sliding drawer that keeps Q-tips® cotton swabs protected for baby) so they can always be within arm’s reach.
4. Add a Personal Touch: Give your nursery a personal touch by adding framed covers of your favorite childhood books or classic black & white or sepia photos of you and your significant other when you were babies.
5. Create A Sleepy Time Sanctuary: We all need our beauty rest, so it is important to create an environment that’s peaceful for your baby to sleep. Create a calming atmosphere with soothing colors and softer tones rather than bright or harsh colors. Then, use accents to add pops of color without being too overwhelming. Be careful not to make the room too dark or too quiet at nap time. This way your child will be able to fall asleep in any environment, which is great when you are traveling or when new siblings arrive! You can also play soft, soothing music or lullabies to help the baby fall asleep.
6. Room to Grow: Choose design options that can grow with your child – consider color palette, furniture style, storage options and a play/reading area. Look for a dresser with drawers and cabinets, rather than a standard changing table and simply secure a changing pad on top. Once your child outgrows diapers, you will have a beautiful piece of furniture with drawers for clothing and cabinets for toys that are within reach for your child.
7. X vs. Y: Not finding out the sex of your baby? No worries! Design a gender-neutral nursery with yellow, green, white or crème and simply add touches of blue or pink accessories when the baby arrives – these simple changes can be made to anything from the receiving blanket to the changing pad. These color options also give you the flexibility to use the bedding over again for a new sibling.
8. To Theme or Not to Theme: Nursery themes such as safari, princess or transportation are a great way to create a fun, lighthearted statement. A themed nursery can still be done tastefully if the items are selected in moderation. For example, if you are doing a safari-style mural, keep bedding and fabrics neutral so the room doesn’t look overdone.
9. Accessorize: A few must-have accessories for any nursery are books, books and more books! You can also add a silver piggy bank and a few irresistibly soft stuffed animals that will quickly become your child’s best friends! Even my celebrity clients still go for the traditional accessories – they bring us all back to that magical time of childhood.
10. The Essentials: When designing your nursery (large or small), you should always keep these essentials in mind – a crib, rocker, changing table/dresser, light dimmer switch and books within the little one’s reach. If you do not have enough space for a bookcase, a basket for the floor will do the trick perfectly. Your little one will be crawling around before you know it and handing you their favorite book at bedtime!

General Mills further reduces Sugar in Cereals* & coupon

General Mills has made a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

• Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
• Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
• More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness.

Right now if you visit here you will find a $1 off coupon for one of four General Mills cereals. If you choose to participate we will also provide you with VIP coupons for 4 boxes of General Mills cereal to help your family come together at the breakfast table every morning.

Enjoy your breakfast!

A Weight Loss Resolution You Can Keep

Pirate Brands’ Dietetic Expert Provides Tips for 2010

It’s time to start the obligatory weight loss resolution routine.  You have good intentions at the start of each year, but in a few short weeks their promises fall to the wayside.  This happens because people set impractical pledges that are fated to fail.

Lucky for us, Pirate Brands’ (makers of all-natural snacks including the iconic Pirate’s Booty), resident registered dietician, Emily Anschlowar, MS, RD is here to offer tips on how to set realistic goals for 2010.:

• Be Specific. Don’t just say, “I want to lose weight.”  Instead, vow to lose two pounds per week for one year by exercising three to four times weekly and eating sweets in moderation.
• Get Serious. If you’re not serious about losing weight and getting healthy, it is most likely you won’t achieve your goals, which can lead to feelings of shame and guilt.
• Take Stock. Look through your fridge and pantry and throw out or donate unopened packages of foods that are high in saturated fat, trans fat and calories or highly processed.
• Create a plan. Plan out your meals in advance and create a weekly shopping list to keep you on track in the grocery store.  Also, develop a work out calendar, so you can pump yourself up the days you need to hit the elliptical machine.

• Change Your Habits.  Select foods that are naturally high in fiber and whole grains.  Make sure to hit all the food groups and practice portion control.
• Water it Down. Water is great for weight-loss because it often replaces high-calorie drinks like soft drinks and juices packed with sugar.  Sticking to the “8 by 8″ (eight 8-ounce glasses of water by 8:00 p.m. daily) is a tried and true method to stay hydrated.

• Don’t Deprive. Your weight loss regimen should not feel like a punishment.  Instead of depriving yourself, allow yourself to splurge on foods you love in moderation.  For example, eat half of a chocolate bar once per week.
• Keep Snacking. Noshing on whole grain snacks that are low in sugar will keep your energy up for that big meeting in between breakfast and lunch.  Snacking will also keep you from overindulging at mealtimes.

Pirate Brands snacks are deliciously baked, low in fat, gluten and trans-fat free as well as made from all-natural, wholesome ingredients. Pirate’s Booty is made from puffed rice and corn, only 130 calories per servings and comes in great flavors like Aged White Cheddar, Barbeque, Veggie, Sea Salt & Vinegar and New York Pizza. Other great-tasting snacks include Smart Puffs, all-natural baked corn puffs made with real Wisconsin cheddar and Original Tings, all-natural vegan crunchy corn sticks.

We hope you’ll be inspired to live a little healthier and have fun while doing it! Let’s weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen!

Pirate Brands

Pirate Brands, a leader and manufacturer of all-natural snacks, is located in Sea Cliff, NY and has been creating healthier treasures since 1987.  The company was founded on the belief that you shouldn’t have to “snackrifice” taste and fun for health.  Pirate Brands produces deliciously baked, all-natural snacks including Pirate’s Booty, Smart Puffs and Original Tings.  Pirate Brands’ snacks are free from fryers, trans fats and ingredients you can’t pronounce, Arrrrrr.  Products are sold in the US.  For more information visit:www.piratebrands.com.

Here is to a Healthier 2010!
