Beat Sugar Addiction Now - For Kids {Review}

Image : Amazon
How often do you allow sweets at your house?
When Marc was deployed, Broxton had none....
Then, daddy came home and it was time to spoil him!!!
We have tried doing really good with sweets, as in just special occasions and desserts, but when you have friends and family always giving him sweets, it gets hard at times!
To the point where I actually had to ask a friend to NOT give him anything sweet for Easter, as we still had birthday candy, valentine candy, and candy from 3 Easter parties!  (All of it from other people, as we bought NONE of it!)

As much as Broxton loves sweets, I would not say that he is "addicted" to it... Not like the kids they mention....  This book talks about seeing if you have a sugar addicted child...   Broxton loves fruits and veggies... Broxton loves meat... but yes, he loves candy too!!!

I loved looking at this book, as it is full of useful information:

Chapters:  (With each section having Parent Pull Out Sheets)
One - Getting Started : The Parent Tool Kit for Ensuring Success
Two -  Part 1 -  Step 1 - How to Limit Liquid Sugar in Your Children's Diet
           Part - The Lowdown on Liquid Sugar
Three - Step 2 - Revamp Breakfast
Four - Step 3 - Limit Sweets to One Per Day and Enjoy Healthy Snacks
Five - Step 4 - Make Over Dessert
Six - Step 5 - Find and Replace Hidden Sugars


I really like how easy the book is to read... not only that, but it also has charts in there to help explain things a bit more.  Yes, I have a four year old.. and this book works for us, but it also works if you have older kids...  tweens / teens... and even has a section about working with limiting sugar in your spouse... I am telling you this, because even though it says for kids... you can use it for any age!!!!

Bottom line - if you want help weaning out sugar in your life.. Or need to know more about the bad effects from too much sugar... (or want to try and explain it to someone else!)   Look no further!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!
