Cow Wow Organic Shelf-Stable Flavored Cereal Milk Boxes (Review)

Growing up, drinking the milk left in the bowl after eating all my cereal was a sweet treat!  Two of my personal favorites were the milk left-over after eating fruity or chocolate cereals - these were also the cereals that we didn't get on a daily basis.  Now, my two children enjoy the very same childhood memory!
 
 
Cow Wow is a single-serve, ready-to-drink flavored milk that captures the unique and wonderful taste of the bottom of the cereal bowl. It’s the best part! With only 6 grams of added sugar, this delicious and nutritious dairy beverage is made with low-fat, organic milk and contains nine essential vitamins and nutrients and is a good source of calcium, protein, and potassium.
With Cow Wow, now moms can give their children the fun and flavor of a bowl of cereal in a convenient shelf stable package perfect for busy families on-the-go.  Perfect for school lunches and after school sports!

Both of my children (ages 9 and 12) are active in sports and after school activities.  They also take a cold lunch to school every day of the week.  As a mom, I want to make sure that I am sending them a variety of healthy foods to eat and drink each day.  

I also want to make sure that they are getting a healthy variety so that they don't get bored and stop eating what I send them.

Why Cow Wow?

Feeding my Shoe Fetish - Sole Provisions Rhythm Walker Black & Teal Walking Shoes (Review)

I have always had a love (and fetish) for shoes; sneakers, flip flops and boots are my personal favorites.  No matter how many pairs I already have, I always love getting new shoes!  Lets be honest - what girl doesn't like shoes?  My nine year old daughter has already developed a love for new shoes, too!
 
When I was contacted by Sole Provisions to review a pair of their shoes, I jumped at the opportunity - not even thinking twice!  I simply couldn't resist choosing a brand new pair of shoes... there was only one problem.  How was I going to choose just one pair?

After looking around for close to an hour, I finally made my choice.  I decided to go with a brand new pair of tennis shoes, perfect for walking on my treadmill and my elliptical.  Having a comfortable pair of workout shoes is the difference between a successful workout and a failed one!

When I received my pair of Weil by Orthaheel: Rhythm Walker black and teal walking shoes I was thrilled!  They were even more beautiful in person!
 
 All Weil Integrative Footwear styles feature the revolutionary AMS "Aided Motion Control" system, Orthaheel's Tri-Planar Motion Control system, and a first ray flexor zone. These three systems combine to provide easier movement, greater endurance and energy, and improved posture.

The Rhythm Walkers are also available in red, coral and silver, white and blue, and dark grey.

Of course, beauty isn't the most important aspect of a walking or running shoe - comfort is!  When I put them on I could immediately feel the softness and comfort.  They were light-weight, comfortable and fit my feet perfectly!

Udi’s Gluten Free Foods Sampler (Review)

School is back in session and for some families coming up with gluten-free lunch ideas that won’t bore can sometimes be a challenge.  Working in an elementary school, children with allergies, especially peanut and gluten allergies are something we hear more and more of.  Luckily my children don't have to worry about allergies or food restrictions, but as a mom, I'm always looking for healthier options for my family.
 
Udi’s makes it easier (and more fun) with their selection of gourmet snacks and goodies that last will last in your child’s backpack, lunch box or locker through all those morning activities and into lunchtime.

I was recently sent an Udi’s gluten free foods sampler to enjoy with my family.  I was quite impressed with the variety of foods that we received and how delicious they tasted.  My personal favorites were the cinnamon raisin bread, dark chocolate brownie bites, and the cherry walnut granola clusters!

My children both love the chocolate chia muffin tops and the blueberry oat muffin tops.  They love taking them to school for snack, and get a kick out of the fact that their peers think they are eating a big, moist cookie for snack instead of something healthy!

Udi's gluten free product link includes:

Gymboree Celebrates Cherished Moments in Childhood

There are a couple general rules that I have always tried to live by, and they are to enjoy every moment, cherish the little things, and to make every memory count!  My kids talk about what they are going to do when they grow up, and how fun it's going to be to be an adult.  I tell them that as much as they think they want to "grow up," they really need to enjoy being a "kid!"  

Gymboree is celebrating by sharing cherished moments in childhood.  Kids laughing, building forts, reading, anything that reminds us all not to grow up too fast.  Join Gymboree, myself and moms everywhere as we cherish every moment of childhood with our children!

Cherish Childhood with Gymboree


Here are a few of my cherished moments in my children's lives:

PB Crave - Gourmet Peanut Butter with a Twist (Review)

Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods, crunchy or creamy, I can eat it by the spoonful!  Both of my children love peanut butter too, and enjoy a peanut butter and jelly or peanut butter and honey sandwich most days for lunch.
 
When I heard about PB Crave, and was given the chance to try their peanut butter with my family - I was thrilled!  When it arrived, and I saw what it looked like and smelled like, I couldn't wait to try it.  As I opened the first jar, Cookie Nookie, it smelled like dessert - yummy!

Made with only the finest natural peanut butter, honey and mouth-watering flavor favorites, PB Crave spreads delicious excitement in every single bite!  They only use high-quality ingredients, proven processes and cutting-edge innovation to craft a variety of dizzying blends of unique peanut butter flavors that transform everyday taste into a tantalizing, healthy treat your entire family will love! 

We tried our PB Crave on sandwiches, on pancakes, on crackers, and yes... by the spoonful!  Each variety was mouth-wateringly delicious and we just couldn't get enough.  PB Crave takes peanut butter to a whole new level, it's pure genius!

PB Crave gourmet peanut butter comes in four amazing flavors:

It's a Bird, It's a Plane ~ It's my Super Family! (Muscle Superman Deluxe Costume Review)

 

Costume parties are held all year long, making it even more important to have a few Halloween costumes at home.  Birthday parties, school parties, special events, fundraisers... so many events are incorporating costumes throughout the year.  This year, we attended five parties/events where our children were asked to wear costumes.

One of the most recent events was a car wash fundraiser for my son's wrestling club.  The coaches wanted to encourage the kids to attend, but also make it fun for them!  So, they decided to have a "Super Hero" car wash.  Of course, Superman was the most popular superhero to show up... we had 7!

 

I was lucky enough to receive an awesome Superman costume from Halloween Adventures for my son in time to wear to the event and it was a huge success!

This great children's Deluxe Muscle Superman Costume includes everything you need for your child to be the SUPER HERO that you both know they are!   It includes a muscle chest jumpsuit, cape, boot tops and belt.

It fit my son perfectly!  It was also easy for him to get on and comfortable to wear.  So many costumes are awkward and difficult to function in... that was not the case with this costume! 

Halloween Adventures is an online costume store that features a huge selection of costumes and costume accessories at reasonable and affordable prices!  They have the perfect costume for every member of the family, including costumes for kids, adults and even your family pet!

Learning How To Balance Life, Home & Blog After Going Back to Work!


 

You may have noticed that I wasn't around much this week - hopefully some of you did!  I will admit that things were more than just a little bit crazy this week, and I'm just trying to figure it all out.

Up until last week, I've been a stay-at-home-mom, not working outside of the home since I was 3 months pregnant with my oldest.  Being a stay-at-home-mom allowed me to raise my children, enjoy every moment and milestone with them, and be a regular and active volunteer at their school.

My children are now 12 1/2 and 9 1/2, and I just stepped back into the workforce.  I took a position in the Title Room at my daughter's elementary school.  This is the same school where I have been a volunteer and PTO member since my son started Kindergarten there, 8 years ago.  This year my son moved to the junior high, so sadly he's no longer in the same school.

As you can imagine - I'm trying to figure out a whole new routine and schedule and I'm finding that managing my time is going to take some adjusting!  I no longer have all day long to do my laundry, go grocery shopping, run errands, and do my regular workouts.  I know that it will take me a little bit of time to "figure it out," but I'm hoping that it won't take too long!

Family Game Night - Hedbanz Act Up Game Review

Playing board games together as a family is the perfect way to spend quality time together and have fun!  I was recently given the amazing opportunity to review an assortment of exciting toys and games from Spin Master, and our family has been having a fabulous time!

When it comes to fun and games, nobody packs the game aisle like Spin Master.  From fast-paced challenges to thought-provoking trivia, there is a Spin Master game for everyone!

Hedbanz Act Up is a brand new twist on the award winning, popular game of Hedbanz! In this hilarious game, actions speak louder than words.  Each player draws a Game Card and matching colored headband. Once everyone has drawn a random card, it's time find out if you're a place, person or thing. The guesser will roll the die and whoever's color turns up has to start Acting Up! Start the timer and watch the actor's actions closely as you guess what's on your head! 

Am I a sprinkler? Spider-Man? An earthquake?  A raincoat? Hedbanz Act Up is the ultimate in family night fun for two to six players ages eight and up.  Hedbandz Act Up a fun, fast-acting family game will have everyone rolling with laughter.
 
I can't even guess how many times the kids have played Hedbanz Act Up in the past few weeks.  It seems like they are playing it every time I turn around.  We have also played it a handful of times as a family.  The laughs are never ending and some of the guesses come out of nowhere.   No matter how many times you play, the results are always different!

Back to School "Lunch Box 101" Tips & Tricks with TruMoo Milk Boxes‏! (Review & Giveaway)

School is back in session, and as I pack cold lunches each morning for my children, my main goal is to provide them with a good, healthy lunch!  It is important for them to have a variety healthy foods to "feed" their minds, as well as their tummies, for their day of learning! 

I help in the lunch room at their elementary school and am often shocked and horrified by what some of these young children bring to school in their cold lunches.  I think the most disturbing lunch included pop tarts, a full-sized candy bar, caramel popcorn, and a pop!
 
I was recently asked to take the TruMoo lunchbox challenge with my children and I jumped at the opportunity.  Since TruMoo shelf-stable milk does not require refrigeration - it's the perfect drink to send in my child's cold lunch.
Did you know that by switching out juice drink boxes for TruMoo milk boxes in school lunches, you can replace ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and artificial
preservatives often found in juice drinks with the calcium, protein and vitamin D found in milk, all important for growing kids? 

My kids love milk - plain, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, butterscotch, caramel... it doesn't matter!  


 
TruMoo milk is both delicious and nutritious!  It is also rich, smooth and makes the perfect addition to their lunchbox or any meal!   

For parents on the go and on a budget, here are “Lunch Box 101 Tips & Tricks” from TruMoo Milk Boxes to help make lunchtime less stressful and more nutritious for their kids.

1. Instead of a juice drink pouch, opt for a flavored shelf-stable milk box, which provides all the benefits of milk including 8g of protein, Vitamins A and D, and calcium, without high fructose corn syrup or any artificial colors or flavors found in many juice drink pouches. TruMoo single serve milk boxes are a great option. They are available in three flavors kids will love – chocolate, vanilla and plain low-fat varieties, and are free of artificial colors and flavors.

Maximize the Benefits of Your Multi-Vitamin: Try Liquid Health Supplements

Do you realize the importance of taking a daily vitamin supplement, but have difficulty swallowing pills?  My daughter has never been able to swallow pills, not even the the tiny ones.   I've tried putting it in her food, but it never seems to go down.  Any time she needs medication, we have to opt for the chewables or liquid version. 

Liquid health supplements and vitamins seem to be the newest craze, and they are becoming more readily available both online and on store shelves.  Not only are liquid vitamins and supplements easier to swallow, they are also absorbed better by the body, which helps maximize the benefits for your body.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus – Fully Charged Gold Edition Tour!

 
Hey Spokane!  Did you know that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus is in town this weekend?  The Being Frugal and Making it Work family attending the "FULLY CHARGED" show Friday night and had a fabulous time!
 
We arrived about 45 minutes prior to show time, so we could walk around the Arena and look at all the fun souvenirs the vendors had for sale, and to find our seats early.  As we were walking down to our seats, we noticed some activity going on in the middle of the circus ring.  There was a silly clown with orange hair entertaining the crowd of people surrounding him.

 
The floor was open to everyone for an all access pre-show.  Several of the circus acts and entertainers came out and performed for the early crowd, and even got them out into the ring to try the stunts on their own.  They were really catering to the crowd and encouraging their participation.  They even brought one of the elephants out to make a one-of-a-kind footprint that was later given away to one lucky audience member.

Enjoying the Last Few Weekends of Summer - Fishing on the Lake!

My husband and I try to make the most out of every single moment... making memories with our children that will last a lifetime is at the top of our priority list. Always!  Even though summer vacation is over and the kids are back in school, we still have a few weekends to enjoy one of our favorite activities before we have to winterize the boat... fishing on the lake!
 
I was recently given the opportunity to go on a little Rakuten.com Shopping spree.  If you’re not familiar with Rakuten.com Shopping, they’re a leading online retailer that offer a huge range of products, including; clothing, gadgets, health and beauty, toys & baby and much more. Many of the products on the site can be delivered in as little as 1 – 2 days and numerous products offer free shipping.
As I was looking around on the Rakuten shopping site, I was amazed at their variety, selection, and low prices!  They had everything from computers and electronics, shoes and clothing, books and wine, camping and bbq supplies, and so much more.  How was I possibly going to choose just one or two items?  

Then I had an idea! I was going to look for something that we could enjoy each and every single time we went fishing... something that the kids and my husband had mentioned wanting over the summer - a portable fish finder!

I was in love with the price, and even more impressed with how quickly it arrived at our door.  The portable fish finder that I ordered was a whopping 67% off and was going to be the perfect tool for our boat.

Dollar General Honors Educators as Every Day Heroes in September‏ (Back to School Giveaway)

As a parent, volunteer, and part-time school employee, I know how important teachers are in the lives of children.
 
 
In celebration of educators everywhere, Dollar General is teaming with Procter & Gamble® to honor our nation’s schools and teachers who make a difference in the lives of children through its Every Day Heroes program . The Every Day Heroes campaign honors educators who teach students to be their best by offering great savings on school supplies and other products for the heroes closest to our hearts.

Dollar General has a strong commitment to education through the Dollar General Literacy Foundation and believes learning to read, earning a GED or learning the English language are investments that opens doorways for personal, professional and economic growth.

During the entire month of September, Dollar General is recognizing Kimberly Shearer, an English teacher and library science teacher at Boone County High School in Florence, Ky., as its Every Day Hero. As an eight-year veteran of Boone County High School, her commitment to educating our youth and advocating for 21st century literary skills through the use of technology helped earn her the title of “Kentucky Teacher of the Year.”
