Simple Inspirations

Not me.  But yesterday I tried the new Town House Flipsides which they sent me.  I opened the box as soon as I got back to the van.  I tried the first one and have toi admit the flavour was different than a cracker.  But as I was talking to my husband I realized that I kept reaching in for more.  I really do love them.  The cheddar and pretzel flavour together is interesting..and yummy! I give them two thumbs up.  With some cheese and ham on top, or even with a nice salsa they would make a great midday snack. 

I still had them in the van with me when we went to take the girls to swimming in the evening, and handed them out to see what the verdict would be, keep in mind I have two picky eaters out of the four girls.  My younger three said they were AWESOME and y oldest, who is the hardest to please cuisine wise said they were "good".

So if you are looking for something different to revolutionize snacking at your house..try these out.  You will find it hard to stop popping them into your mouth once you start!

I recently got to try two new flavours of poptarts..the best part, THEY ARE WHOLE WHEAT!  Yup, on of my favorite grab and go snacks has come across to the healthy side.  And, I have to say, unlike most products, they got better!!!  They are amazing.  Melt in your mouth. Scrummy. 

If you, like me, struggle to keep fun but healthy snacks in the house for your kids or yourself, these poptarts are the answer my friend!  Seriosly, you will not regret making the switch.  Each poptart has a whole serving of whole grains.  This excites me, we are a no bleached flour family around here, but for a few creature comforts.  Now one of my creature comforts can be stocked in my cupboard without being hidden behind the granola bars .

I got two yummy flavours to try out, Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Strawberry.  I know you, like me, want the nutritional dish.  It makes up 2 carbs and 1/2 of one fat.  Not bad for a yummy toaster treat.  I have to say that the brown sugar cinnamon is my favorite, but the kids loved the strawberry better. But either way you cannot go wrong, make sure you make the switch soon!

I really do.  I got to review the Baby Einstein’s First Moves DVD.  It is a playful celebration of movement that gets your baby moving, laughing and dancing. I totally recommend you go out and get it…its a great chance for you and your kids to bond and excercise.

I have today, Asher, who is 2 month old even loved it.  As we watched I would stretch his arms along with the puppets or the babies and he would smile.  I would stand him up when they were standing and he would put all his weight on his toes and stand up as tall as he could.  I really enjoyed that time with him, just helping him stretch, roll over, situp, and bounce.  He was enthralled by the bright colors and the music.  It was an instant hit and I know this is something I will be doing with him often when he has his UP time in the afternoon.

Abby, who just turned 2 enjoyed it too.  She would watch intently and stretch, or roll over and laugh.  She loved the clapping animals and wanted to see them "moore".  She got over excited halfway through and danced and twirled through most of the last 10 minutes, but was having a great time nonetheless. She would loudly announce "there is a monkey", "baby happy feet" or "PEEK A BOO BABY".

They both sat with me long enough to go through a few of the special features and anyone who has a 2 year old and a 2 month old knows what a feat this is!!!  We went through the Let’s pretend, which I am sure if Abby’s favorite part of the whole DVD.  There is a whole bunchof great extra features including a section with a pilates instructor that goes over how to move with baby that I thought was neat.

So, I have to say..grab this DVD up, you won’t regret this chance to talk cuddle and move with your baby or toddler!
