Sprout Organics Baby Food Review

Recently on another Mom blog I won a pack of Sprout Organics Baby Food. I was really excited to try this brand. The food is chef designed for flavor by the co-founder Chef Tyler Florence. I won 3 flavors, Roasted Apples, Roasted Pears, and Baked Sweet Potatoes.

My little guy usually likes apple stuff so I knew he would like the roasted apples and he ate the whole thing very quickly. Pears on the other hand he doesn't really like so I thought he might not enjoy them and I was right. He made funny faces and then spit it all back up only half way through the package. I tasted the pears and I thought they were great! He did enjoy the baked sweet potatoes when I mixed them with rice cereal. My little guy can be a picky eater sometimes but if I mix it with rice cereal he will eat anything!

Apples He Loves

Pears not so much!

Another thing I really love is the packaging that holds the baby food is BPA free. Overall these were very nice wholesome foods to try. I would recommend them for the taste and the fact that they are organic. I will definitely buy the roasted apples for him at the store since he loved them. My little guy LOVES bananas and I want him to try the Roasted Bananas too. You can find Sprout products at Whole Foods, Raley's, Publix, Harris Teeter and online at Amazon.

GIVEAWAY: 100 Colorful Trifold Brochures for your Blog or Business

Brochures Printing Online has generously offered one of my readers 100 Colorful 8.5 x11 Trifold 100lb paper Brochures for your Blog or Business. I looked over the site before I decided to host this giveaway to see the potential benefit for my readers. I found so many ways as a Mom and business woman that I could benefit from this company's products.

I was impressed by their products for brochure printing and they have several well put together easy to use layouts for advertising your services. You select your layout, upload your photos, logos and text, then watch as it is designed for you to view and edit. I feel this would be a great way to advertising for a service you offer as a great way to make a bit of extra money from a skill you already have.

My first thought was that it would definitely be a great idea to make a brochure for the online blog you have to advertise your ability to do reviews, host giveaways, have a sponsor for your events, and to include your sites potential reach and audience. As well as including the other companies you have done work for and any awards you may have won. A nice professional item to have when you come across a potential business partner or to mail out to companies that you are interested in working with.

Another thought I had was that I know most of moms are working moms too. If not a full time job we have our own home business. If  it is real estate, volunteering for church, in home childcare, interior design, photography, website designing or a beauty service you may offer. There is a wonderful woman around the corner from our home that runs a beauty salon out of her garage to help make ends meet. There are so many services as moms we can offer to help pay the bills or save up for a vacation. Also our spouses or partners jobs in roofing, contracting, landscaping, being a handyman, or house painting that these brochures can be utilized to be a key in local advertising.

They have 8 different Christian church brochures to choose from to help bring people to your local church or outreach center. A great gift for church members to hand out to others. They have a few Non Profit brochures that would be perfect to help support a cause you are involved in.

Elmo & Sesame Street Get Healthy Now Show

 

 

On the Sesame Street website there is a video called The Get Healthy Now Show. A 23 minute show staring Elmo, Rosita, Telly Monster and other characters that sing and dance about eating healthy. Its soooo cute my son has it on DVD and loves it. He squeals as loud as he can, waves his hands all over and smiles so big when I put it on for him. They talk about how you need to eat 5 fruits and vegetables everyday and have the cutest singing and dancing group of veggies and fruits, its his favorite part. Plus Elmo talks about needed to exercise daily.
It is on this page on the far right hand side the second video. It is called the Get Healthy Now Show, it is the 23 minute long video. I recommend showing it to your kids for them to see a fun and helpful message. Plus its Sesame Street gotta love that!
