Water is So Good Especially With Fruit In It

Do you love water?

Are you a big water drinker?

Do your kids drink water?

What if there was a fruit added to the water? Would they drink it more or less?

We are really big water drinkers here at One Moms World household. So when I was selected to be an

Photobucket

We were all pretty stoked. It goes along with our healthy lifestyle change, we as a household have been making. I mean, I will have to be honest… water can get boring and it is nice ever once in awhile to change up the water a bit right?

Over the last 3 weeks, I have been able to do a real life taste test of the Aquafina Flavor Splash water. I wasn’t really sure what to think at first, but I have to say…. we are all in LOVE with this water. Now, I will say we do not just drink this water all day. We mix it up through the week and drink mostly distilled water, but to have a change in flavor has been so awesome.

So far we have had lemon flavor, wild berry flavor, and strawberry-kiwi flavor. All flavors have been delicious. My hubby is really digging the lemon flavor. The best part is this water is naturally flavored with the different fruits. Who knew my girls would actually like the kiwi flavor, but they do!

We went on a little experiment in our neighborhood and have been giving out coupons for free six packs for our neighbors that walk daily in the neighborhood. So far, we have received a lot of positive feedback.

I want to give YOU my readers the chance to taste test the water as well! First, here is a $1.00 coupon that you can print so you will be able to save $1.00 on a 6 pack. Secondly, I am going to give five readers a coupon for a free six pack of water AND two Hydrating Lip Balms each. These lip balms are so cool. It is a unique moisture replenishing  system, combined with a botanically enriched formula of jojoba and almond oils. It makes your lips happy :) .

Surprise Your Child With An Encouraging Card

Contest Closed. Congratulations to Winners chosen by Random.org – Commenters 4, 7 & 3

Children need praise when growing up. Amen, right?

They do not need to just hear:

“Sit down”, “Stop that now”, “Don’t give me that attitude”, “Go clean your room”, “Do your homework, now.”

Do those phrases sound familiar? It is tough just typing those out, because at times I do feel like all I am constantly doing is disciplining. Life shouldn’t be like that. Kids thrive when they know they are making us happy. Thanks to Hallmark for helping us parents to come up with such a cool innovative way to praise our kids while surprising them.

Hallmark has recently introduced the all-new Kids Collection. Click on that link and you’ll see a sampling of the gifts and cards that are available for parents, aunts/uncles and grandparents to share with the kids in their lives.

I have been surprising Big Sis with cards in her lunch boxes for the past couple weeks. When she gets home, she says mommy I smiled today because of something and we will go through a little guessing game of what made her smile. Here is one of the cards that I surprised her with:

She is having the best fun reading these and she never knows when to expect one either :) . I just love that we can encourage our kids because there is at times they may be too busy playing, that they will not hear your little whispers to them on doing a great job. Now, you can sneak in cards and the kids will always have them in their room to check in on every once in a while. Big Sis is really enjoying putting these up on her dresser and loves to show everyone that comes over.

Hallmark and I want to give YOU the opportunity to encourage your kids as well. Hallmark is going to give 3 lucky readers here a set of Encouraging Cards. All you need to do to enter is click on the Kids Collection site and let me know a favorite card design that you like :) Have fun and I cannot wait to hear how your kids react to these super cool cards.

If you would like to stock up on the Kids Collection cards or pass the information along to other family members, then click to find a store near you that carries the Kids Collection cards in the store. They cards are found in Hallmark Gold Crown stores.

Yogurt Just Got Simpler – Giveaway

Is your family big fans of yogurt? I will tell you, everyone in my family usually eats one serving of yogurt a day. I never realized though how much additives were in certain brands of yogurt. Moms and Dads, discover the newest tasty, wholesome snack – one that both parents and kids can happily agree on – available now in the dairy case!

Photobucket

New Simply… Go-Gurt is made from simple ingredients moms look for and contains no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors. Each convenient portable yogurt tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Simply stated, Simply… Go-Gurt is a good-for-you, low fat yogurt snack that you can feel good about giving to your kids.

New Simply… Go-Gurt is available in two kid-friendly flavors, Strawberry and Mixed Berry.

I did a little experiment with my girls. I did not tell my girls that I changed the yogurt in their laptop lunch boxes to the new Simply… Go-Gurt. I eagerly awaited their arrival back home that afternoon and was greeted my daughter saying “Mommy, Mommy… I loved that strawberry yogurt so much in my lunch box. Can I have some more tomorrow for lunch.” She has made sure each day that I put it in her lunch box which is weird because she never would hardly eat all the yogurt from before. Now, she never has any yogurt left when she comes home from school. SCORE!

I would love for you to try this yogurt and see what your kids think! I have coupons available up to 30 of my readers that can be printed right here from this blog post.

Also, Yoplait and BlogSpark has graciously offered up a Simply…Go-Gurt prize pack to giveaway to one of my readers.

Photobucket

All you need to do to enter the giveaway is leave a comment below letting me know if your family is a big fan of yogurt and what flavor do you all usually enjoy :) .

Progresso Soup is my Friend

As many know… I have lost a big amount of weight over the last year. I did it so I could feel better about myself and have made some huge lifestyle changes to keep the weight off. To look back on myself before the weight loss, I just want to cry that I let myself get that big. I want to make sure to instill good eating habits in my children while they are young, so they can carry on the lifestyle changes when they are adults.

One food that our whole family loves and it helps in maintaining the weight loss is Progresso Soup. With Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups, you can enjoy a delicious cup of soup that provides great taste and variety all at 100 calories or less. Also they are 0 and 1 points for Weight Watchers :-) .

Even my girls are asking for Progresso soup, so you know it has to be pretty darn tasty for kids to like it as well! I don’t really have a favorite in the Progresso soup as I like to have a variety, so when I purchase at the store… it is always a mixed combination. I was not able to try all the flavors until my friends at Progresso Soup and MyBlogSpark sent me 15 different kinds of Progresso soup. You know that made getting through this snowy winter so less stressful :) .

Childhood Favorite Toy is Coming Back Giveaway

Photobucket

Growing up, I had special toys in my life that I will always have such fond memories. One of those toys was the Rainbow Brite doll. She went everywhere with me, would eat dinner with us, ride on my bicycle and sleep with me each night. I was so thrilled to hear that Rainbow Brite was coming back. I for sure will be getting my girls their own doll so they will be able to make special memories.

With her cheerful look and personality, Rainbow Brite has blasted back onto the doll scene with a vibrant makeover, continuing to delight children with her empowering and imaginative adventures as she spreads her positive messages of courage, kindness, and hope.

Rainbow Brite even has their own website where your little girl can watch videos, play games, do downloads, and even print out coloring books. There is so many things online now that I am not fond of at all letting the girls see or play, so it has been wonderful to have a site the girls can go to that can be trusted. I love playing with the girls on the site and their CD as it just brings back so many wonderful great memories for me. I now get to create special memories with my girls.

I have 5 Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack CD’s to share with my readers. The CD includes Rainbow Brite animations, games, puzzles, songs, and so much more. Your little girl will enjoy the whole CD so much. Just please leave a comment below on what your favorite childhood toy was and I will pick 5 random comments to send them one of the CD’s.

Songs from the Heart Celtic Woman Giveaway

As most of you all know, I lost my dear Grandmother last week. Music helps heal my heart so much and the Celtic Woman CD could not have came at a better time.

Photobucket

This CD Songs from the Heart motivates you, inspires you, and brings the biggest smile to your face! Every day I will get in my husband’s car (since he is the one with the CD player in his vehicle) and I will pop in the CD and turn it up so loud and go straight to track number 5 When You Believe. I will sing so loud and it just empowers me to get through the day. Each singer really has such a powerful voice that makes the music so unique and really inspiring to you.The Celtic Woman features vocalists Lisa Kelly, Chloe Agnew, Lynn Hilary and Alex Sharpe, with violinist Mairead Nesbitt.

Photobucket

Another song I have to listen to is track number 2 Amazing Grace as this was my Grandma’s favorite song and it helps me feel so close to her while it is playing. The instrumentals and vocalists behind this song is just so amazing to hear!

The CD includes 15 songs:

1. Fields Of Gold
2. Amazing Grace
3. Níl Sé’n Lá
4. My Lagan Love
5. When You Believe
6. The New Ground
7. Isle Of Hope, Isle Of Tears
8. The Coast Of Galiçia
9. Non C’è Più
10. The Moon’s A Harsh Mistress
11. You’ll Be In My Heart
12. Goodnight My Angel
13. Galway Bay
14. The Lost Rose Fantasia
15. O, America!

You will recognize song titles like Sting’s Fields of God and Mariah Carey’s When You Believe. All the songs move seamlessly between Irish classics, contemporary covers and original compositions.

Celtic Woman is currently on tour now including dates at Radio City Music Hall. The group is all over the Billboard charts, selling more than 3.8 million records in the U.S. alone, and has had 7 sold-out US Tours. They have performed on Dancing with the Starts and have an upcoming PBS Special.

I would love to share a CD Gift pack with one of my readers. It includes an 18-month desktop calendar, heart charm keepsake and VIP access to a virtual Celtic Woman community. All you need to do is leave a comment below on why you would love to win by March 4 at 11:59pm EST and I will select a winner on March 5th.
