Motts For Tots Juice & A Celebrity Contest!
From the moment we introduced juice to our kids we added water. We watered the juice down for 2 reasons. One was to cut down on the sugar, and two was to simply make the juice go further with 2 boys. 
Now Motts offers this same thing in a convenient juice box called Motts for Tots. Motts for Tots are available in individual packs of 9 with 4 yummy flavors. You can also buy Motts for Tots in 64 oz bottles.
We were sent some samples to test out and I’m happy to report that my boys eagerly drank them up! What’s great is that they are convenient and have much less sugar than other popular juice boxes. My boys had no idea that the juice was diluted. Did you know that Motts for Tots contains 40% less sugar than regular juices AND no artificial sweeteners?
Overall, Motts for Tots individual juice drinks are great to take along on vacations, trips, play dates, shopping, and to put in your kids lunchboxes. We even took them along with us on our trip to a local amusement park. Since we don’t buy boxed juices on a regular basis in our home, Motts for Tots were a fun and healthy treat for my two boys! These products are available at most local grocery stores for $3.99 or less. Right now you can print off a $1 coupon from the Motts website here.

It’s Time To… Routines
For most parents it is a challenge to get the ball rolling on a regular schedule for our lil’ ones. As a Mom of three young children, our days are filled with Waking Up, Eating, Brushing Teeth, Getting Dressed, School Time, Playing, Baths, Getting Ready for Bed, and everything in between.
Milestone Parenting has taken the guess work out of it all, by creating a Simple and Fun way to get your child involved in a routine that will make everyone happy. With the help of a cartoon Fox named KC, my girls’ enjoyed getting to choose which stickers were most important in our daily/nightly activities, and where to place them on the charts. My 6 year old enjoyed writing the times that we would do each activity. Discussing the importance of why we need routines really gave them a boost of control over how they would spend their day and nights.
Our charts were placed on the side of our upright freezer so the girl’s (and one day my son) can easily see what comes next in our day. My 3 year old is now excited to tell me, “I better clean up my blocks, it’s time for lunch”. It really helps that the charts are easy to recognize, and can be adjusted as children grow and change.
I am surprised at how well they have adjusted in a short time using the charts. In all, I think “It’s Time To… Routines” has made a world of difference for our family.

The Snacker Tracker
Getting your kids to eat a balanced diet is not always as easy one may think so when we
came across the Snacker Tracker we were ready to give it a try.
The Snacker Tracker is a refrigerator magnet developed by certified kids nutrition specialists that tracks the foods your kids eat, and shows kids their meals divided into categories. As your child eats meals, they check off what they have eaten and at the end of the day you can see how healthy your child is eating.
We’ve had the magnet up for a while now. My boys enjoy checking the food off and playing with the dry erase marker. It’s fun for them and a great way for me, a super busy mom, to take the guesswork out of their nutrition. When we use the Snacker Tracker I know exactly what my two (ages 3 & 7) boys are eating and I know where they need to improve.
Overall, A Mom’s Review recommends the Snacker Tracker for busy moms who need help in tracking their child’s nutrition. It’s a great solution!
WHERE TO BUY: For $19.95 you will receive a Snacker Tracker, 1 dry erase marker, and a very useful Snacker Tracker nutrition guide (I’ve learned a lot from this little book) on the Snacker Tracker website
DaysAgo Digital Day Counter Review
Normally when I put left overs in the fridge we rarely ever eat them mainly because I don’t know when I put the leftovers in the fridge and I don’t know how long the leftovers are good for so my time as well as the food has been wasted!
I recently came across a new product called the DaysAgo digital day counter that removes the guesswork of knowing how many days ago you opened something or put left overs away. I think this is a great idea and it certainly will work for me.
The DaysAgo digital counters can be attached to your refrigerator or food containers such as baby food, formula, salsa, leftovers, and other items. These counters easily affix to surfaces via magnet or suction depending on which kind you purchase. They are also very simple to use.
In addition to being used for food, these digital counters can also be used for tracking medications, plant care, filters, and really whatever you want to track. I read somewhere that partners were even using it for tracking when was the last time they had sex. For additional usage ideas, go here
Overall, I give this product a thumbs up! It’s very useful for anyone especially for moms!
You can purchase a pack of two counters(in lime, charcoal, tangerine, & blueberry) for around $10-$12(USA) and $11-$15 (CAN). To order yours go to HowManyDaysAgo.com
