    Nuby Snack Keeper: Snacking on the Go!

    May 23rd, 2013

    sponsored post

    When you have 2 busy boys, you find yourself constantly on the go. Running to preschool. Running to Target. Running to baseball. Running back to Target for the thing you inevitably forget. When you are always on the go, you have to have your “mom” bag {I refuse to call it a diaper bag} stocked and at the ready. Yes, you will find diapers in the bag but please do not call it a diaper bag.

    Between the diapers, wipes, and cups, you will find snacks. And lots of them. I always make sure to keep some fruit snacks and granola bars in the pockets. One of the boys favorites snacks to pack is loose cereal. We always have a ton of cereal on hand and it’s really easy to throw it together. But what do you put it in?

    We have used snack bags in the past but somehow the cereal {and goldfish and pretzels} end upcrashed in the bottom of my bag. And I really hate digging down to the bottom of the bag and coming up with a handful of food!

    The solution? The Nuby Snack Keeper! We have been using one of these since Ethan was a toddler so we know they work. They do take a while for little fingers to get used to but once they figure out there’s a treat in that cup, there’s no stopping them! The soft flaps make it easy to grab snacks without the mess. The container holds 9 oz. of dry snacks and I love that the protective bottoms keeps your tabletop from getting all scratched up!

    I always have a Snack Keeper in my bag with cereal, goldfish, or pretzels. Ben is a big snacker and it helps when we are in the car on the go!

    Tuckerton Seaport Bluegrass & Barbecue Festival

    May 22nd, 2013

    This past weekend, I was invited down to the Tuckerton Seaport for their annual Bluegrass and Barbecue Festival. The weather wasn’t really cooperating with a misty rain that made for a horrible hair day but it was still a really great time!

    tuckerton seaport bbqThe first time I visited Tuckerton Seaport was after Hurricane Sandy. It was great to see the progress that has been made on the island but there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done! Despite all of that, the Tuckerton Seaport is open for business and are coming back bigger and better for the summer of 2013!

    We started our day visiting Todd’s Musical Petting Zoo. With over 100 instruments for the kids to try, there was truly something for everyone! It may have been a little loud in there but the kids {and parents} were definitely having fun!

    After we got our groove on, it was time to taste the amazing barbecue! And it was amazing! I could have stood next to the grill all day just smelling the wonderful scents coming from the vendors.

    After our bellies were full, it was time for a tour of the Seaport and all it has to offer. There is seriously so much to do there! From the lighthouse to the surf museum to mini-golf to a playground, the kids will definitely not be able to say they are bored!

    After the tour, I wondered around their boardwalk and was drawin into all of the little things at the Seaport. I couldn’t stop snapping away!

    I will be headed back to the Tuckerton Seaport in a few weeks for their Privateers & Pirates Festival on June 8th. The boys are coming with me and I know they are going to have a blast!

    For All You Love

    May 16th, 2013

    sponsored post Every day, mothers put their children before themselves. Call it mom guilt. Call it it being a mom. But we do it. We run, run, run to get things done for them. Run to preschool. Run to Target. Run to baseball. Run for ice cream. We run, run, run. They say jump. We ask how high.

    And we do it for them. e04eebc2bb2311e2891a22000a9d0ec6_7 And it’s so worth it.

    We do it because the minute those screaming little babies come into our worlds, our world is no longer just ours. It’s their’s. Everything we do has an impact on them.

    For all you love, you do it for them.

    This past Mother’s Day,  JOHNSON’S® Baby has established JOHNSON’S® Baby CARES Care Cards, a digital e-card platform encouraging moms to share positive messages of encouragement with other moms across the country, while simultaneously supporting Save the Children®.  You can help, too!  Simply pick and share a card filled with messages of reassurance for a Mom in your life on Facebook at http://www.johnsonsbabycares.com. For every card sent, shared or liked, JOHNSON’S®  Baby will donate $1.00 to Save the Children® (up to $150,000) to benefit early childhood education programs that foster education and reassurance for new moms. These cards will not only spread encouragement to Moms throughout the country but will also provide Moms in need with the skills and knowledge to successfully support their child’s growth.

    Keeping Your Dog’s Joints Healthy And Pain-Free

    May 15th, 2013

    Nothing is sadder than watching your dog struggle to play or even walk as they get older and start having joint problems and pain. Just like humans, dogs can suffer from many joint ailments that cause them to become less active and have a lower quality of life. However, there are ways to keep your dogs joints healthy and decrease the chance of painful inflammation.

    FlexPet For Healthy Joints

    One way to ensure that your dog gets the nutrients it needs to keep inflammation and joint pain at bay is to use an all natural supplement called FlexPet. These tasty chewable tablets contain a comprehensive formula that nourishes joints to create stronger cartilage and improve joint lubrication. The formula contains no Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and includes the following ingredients:

    • CM8® (Cetyl Myristoleate)
    • Glucosamine
    • Proteolytic Enzyme Blend, including Bromelain
    • Chicken Collagen
    • MSM

    Joint Health Benefits

    Using FlexPet can make a marked difference in your pet’s joints and in their overall health. By keeping joints healthy, your dog can benefit in many ways beyond just pain reduction. Some benefits include:

    • Activity: Dogs with healthy joints will be able to run and play easier and enjoy their walks and time with you.
    • Healthy weight: Many dogs with joint issues also become overweight due to lack of activity, causing other health issues.
    • Increased energy: Decreasing pain and improving strength in their joints can give your dog an increase in energy and improved demeanor.
    • Biochemcial functions: The nutritional elements in FlexPet can help improve biological functions as well.

    There are no artificial additives in these all-natural supplements and no side effects except increased joint health. The tablets taste great and even come with a money-back guarantee. There is no risk to try this incredible product that can make a night and day difference in your dog’s life.

    If you have noticed that your dog is beginning to move slower or not be as active as they used to be, now is the time to start giving them the help they need to improve their joint function. FlexPet is the dog joint pain solution that can help your dog have a higher quality of life and even possibly increase their life through more exercise and activity. Make every day as comfortable and fun as can be for your furry best friend by adding FlexPet to their daily nutritional regimen.
