Fresh Baby So Easy Toddler Cookbook Review and Giveaway

I am a huge fan of entering blog contest as a way of finding new products to try and products I can give family and friends to try. I have entered many giveaways to win a Fresh Baby So Easy Baby Food Kit, I never won a set but I did learn about a great new company. Since my son is no longer a little baby he does not need puree so I thought the So Easy Toddler Cookbook would be perfect for him. The book is filled with so many great recipes, colorful photos and feeding tips. I loved the smoothies, my son loved the breakfast burritos and his favorite the rice and broccoli casserole. He seems to favor savory over sweet, I am grateful for it I just have to learn I might be the only smoothie fan in the house.

I had fun making the recipes because I tried to include my son. I put him in his feeding chair and let him watch what I was doing and I let him try the individual ingredients before I made any finished items. We had a great time exploring new flavors and textures.

I know for me I was a bit puzzled as to where do I start with introducing my son tasty and healthy food now that he is no longer a jar food baby. Of course I know the dos and don'ts of feeding I just wanted a go to cookbook that I could reference anytime. I know in the future I will change and add to recipes as I see my son's likes and dislikes develop. I definitely would recommend this cookbook for a new mom to have a guideline of recipes to start with or a mom who just wants new ideas.

In honor of my son's 1st birthday Fresh Baby has agreed to send one of my lucky readers the So Easy Toddler Food Cookbook.

Tasty Brand Review and Giveaway

Recently I won I facebook contest sponsored by Tasty Brand and I won 4 boxes of their fruit snacks. I was surprised at how tasty they were, it made me laugh since its the brand name. We pulled off tiny little bits for my son to try and he loved them too. Their fruit snacks are organic, fat free, gluten free, made with real fruit juice and no high fructose corn syrup. We all agree that Super Fruit is our favorite fruit snack. I would also love to try their Cereal bars. The pumpkin pie flavored ones sound so yummy! I love that their foods are organic and their snacks are a much healthier option than most snacks on the market. Plus its a mom founded company and I try my best to support mom based companies as often as I can. I do have to add that the fruit snacks are for children 2 and older so I only let my son tasty tiny bits and the fruit snacks should not be given whole to a child who is under that age, just wanted to add that for safety =)

Now that I am a fan of Tasty brand I wanted to be able to give one of my lucky readers the chance to try their great products. They make organic baby cereals, baby foods, fruit snacks and cereal bars. Their frozen baby food line would be great for any mom who is busy to be able to still give your child healthy organic food that is convenient to serve.

You can find Tasty Brand in your local Whole Foods and Kroger. Online at Amazon and diapers.com.

In honor of my son's 1st birthday Tasty Brand has agreed to send one of my lucky readers 2 Free Product coupons to redeem at your local store.

1st Birthday Bash 10 Days of Giveaways Day 10: Feeding Time

I have always had a love for feeding ducks at the park. I love how eagerly they gobble it all up and give you a confirming quack to ask for more. Now with my son I have the sweetest little bird who loves to eat the variety of foods I introduce to him. He is the cutest little guy as he tries new foods and even gives me a loud "GA GA" with enthusiasm when he really likes something. He loves anything with sweet potatoes or green beans in it but he cannot survive and that alone. Thankfully I have found several great products along the way as I have tried to find foods I was happy to give my son and he was happy to eat. I hope you enjoy the great products I have tried and always try to be on the look out for new and nutritious foods to enjoy with your kids. Do you know of a great product or recipe you would like to share?

1st Birthday Bash 10 Days of Giveaways Day 9: Coupons and Freebies

It just wouldn't be a Coupon Queen Bee birthday event without talking about the great coupons and freebies a child can get for their birthday. I signed up to several birthday clubs for places we often shop or eat. I was a little disappointed that the majority of the Gift Cards companies issued were actually coupons I had to print from my computer. I do not currently have ink so sadly I could not use most of the birthday discounts offered to me.  A few places I signed up to are Kmart, Fuddruckers, Toys R Us, and Barnes & Nobel. Hopefully next year we will have more ink!
Here are a few blogs with long list of birthday freebies and coupons:
