Parents Tip from Parents Magazine

I was reading my email and saw this post.  5 Steps to Starting Solids

My baby is a toddler now so he eats the same stuff, more or less, that my husband and I eat.  I wanted to pass this along because I know a lot of new moms who have little ones soon to be starting solids.

I love Parents magazine.  They always have so many helpful tips and advice. 

Enjoy!!

Bigges Loser winner -Mike Ventrella

I just had to share.  I believe what this man did was amazing!!

He started at 526 lbs.

He lost 264 lbs!!! 

My favorite was Sam from the Gray team, but I did love Mike and was happy to see him get healthy and in the end win it all.

My understanding is that they are now filming Season 10 which will air this September.  So if you LOVE the Biggest Loser like we do, stay tuned!  Jillian and Bob are amazing at what they do.  

Congrats Mike!!!!!!

Parent Tips of the Day - June 3rd

Here are three tips for this week.

• Eliminate Twin Fighting : On a calendar, designate dates for each twin.  On their day, they get to make decisions like which movie to watch or game to play or book to read, etc.  This will help ease the fighting among siblings.  I am sure it will also work for non twin siblings.
• Photo Grocery List : I thought this one is fun when I read it the first time.  Use photo clip art to make your child their own grocery shopping list.  It will teach them plus it will make them feel like they are helping out. 
• Recycle Restaurant Kid's Drink Cups : Use them to hold snacks in the car.  The cups fit nicely in car cup holders.

Stay tunes for more exciting tips and feel free to share other tips in the comments section.
Thanks!!

Sorry for the abscence - Meet Our Kitties

I know it has been probably over a week since the last post.  We are officially in Summer Time here in FL which means bad thunderstorms on a daily basis.  The area where we live gets hit really bad with lightning so we don't use our electronics when that happens.  Needless to say, to add to the mix we had visitors for Memorial Day weekend and my son is now sick with a cold and croup.  Yikes!  To make it worse, I am now starting to feel a sore throat so more than likely I caught it too and my husband said he feels the same as I do. 
On the brighter side, at least our cats are healthy!!  The photo above shows all our kitties. 

• Top Left: Andromeda - black and white tuxedo
• Bottom Left: Ariel - brown tabby
• Top Right: Melody - orange tabby
• Bottom Right: Sebastian - black and white tuxedo, our only male

Stay tuned cause I will be updating the blog soon with my Savings for the week and Freebies for the week.  I got some good Free Samples in the mail last week!! 

Thanks for reading!!
