Thought of the Day

"Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the needs of those who would be affected by it." - Marian Anderson

My Child's Individual Sense of Style

My daughter has a great sense of style to be so young.  She is almost 5 but loves clothes.  She probably gets that from me.  Every since she was born, she has been fortunate enough to have lots of clothes to choose from.  I am always looking for a great deal on clothes.  She has only had "girly" clothes.  Her outfit seems to always match from head to toe.  Her aunt loves to buy clothes for her and she gets any and every accessory for her outfit and Payton loves it.

Payton's favorite color is pink.  She loves to wear anything pink.  It doesn't matter whether it is socks, shoes, shirts, or pants.  If it is pink, she loves it. 

She also loves shoes.  Flip flops are her favorite.  I bet she has 12 pairs this summer.  She has all kinds and colors.  You will hardly ever catch her with a pair of flip flops on in the summer.  As soon as she wakes up in the morning, flip flops go on her feet.  During the winter, you will often find her in boots. She loves to wear boots with jeans and put the legs of jeans inside her boots.  Bedroom shoes is another favorite of hers. She loves to wear bedroom shoes in the winter months. She always has them on when at home. Last winter, we went through 3 pairs. 

Dresses is another favorite of hers.  I can remember as a child not wanting to wear a dress but not Payton.  She would wear one every day if she could.  She loves to dress up, so a dress works perfect for her.

Accessories are a must have for her too.  She will pick out her accessories herself.  She likes necklaces, rings, and bracelets. I admit, I do try to have a control on them if going somewhere.  Sometimes she just has way to many on so I will ask her to take some off.

Last year, she started taking dance classes.  She always loved to dance from the time she could walk.  One of her favorite things about dance is the leotards and skirts she gets to wear to dance class.  At the end of the year, she had a dance recital.  For the recital, she had a dance costume to wear but she also got to wear makeup and curl her hair.  She loved it.  She thought she looked like a princess.  Below is a couple of her dance pics. 

As you can tell, she isn't a bit shy when it comes to having her picture taking.  She loves to pose for a picture.

Overall, anything pink and girly works for Payton.

10 Tips and Tricks to Get Your Kid to Eat More Vegetables

I have used several things in the past to get my kids to eat more vegetables.  I always try to get at least 3 servings of vegetables in their tummy each day.  I like to try new things and I have worked on sharing this with my children.  Most of the time they do better than my husband.  He is the picky eater in our home. Below is a list of the tips and tricks I have used.

1) Garden - Every summer we grow a small garden.  My daughter and I pick out which vegetables that we want to plant.  She enjoys watching them grow and loves it when vegetables are ready to pick.  She is very excited when its time to eat them.

2) Hide Them - I have cooked dishes before and hidden vegetables in them.  For example, I often hid zucchini in my spaghetti sauce.

3) Serve them with their favorite meal - Pizza is a favorite in my home.  We always have a salad with it.  My kids love lettuce, tomato and cucumbers.

4) Vegetable Tray - For some reason when I serve raw vegetables with dip, I never have a problem with my children eating them.  Dip always does the trick.

5) Plate Rule - I include things on my children's plate that I know they are not fond of.  I don't make them eat anything that they don't like but I do require them.  It amazes me the things that say they don't like but once they try it, they love it.

6) Introduce Early - As soon as my kids were able to eat, I always included vegetables in their meals.  I can remember my kids loving sweet potatoes as babies and until this day it is still one of their favorite things to eat.

7) New Shapes - I often cut up the vegetables in different shapes.  This seems to help them clean their plate.  Sometimes they may have square carrots or circle carrots.

8) Helping in the Kitchen - My daughter is at the age where she likes to help in the kitchen.  Sometimes I let her help with the vegetables.  She likes to wash fresh vegetables.

9) Make Salads - Salads is a hit in my house.  I'm not sure if its the dressing or what. My kids love to salad. Their only requirement besides dressing is a little cheese.

10) Grocery Shopping - I often let my daughter pick out the produce when shopping.  She can pick out a couple of items for me to serve.  She likes this idea and looks forward to getting to eat her choices.

Hopefully, these tips will help you in getting your kids to eat more vegetables.  If have any tips to share with me, please leave me a comment.

My Grocery Budget Problem .... What Do You Recommend?

I have a grocery budget that I try to stick to.  Sometimes I do go over, if I find an awesome deal.  I always try to make up for it next week.  Here lately, we have been going over budget and its not my fault.  My husband likes to cook, which is great.  It is really nice to have him cook dinner especially on the weekends.  Instead of using what we have, he will make a trip to the grocery store.  He will spend $30-$40 on a meal.  It all depends on what he wants.  Don't get me wrong, I love that he cooks but his cooking is starting to cost us a fortune.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Best Advice for Back to School from Masterlock

Back to school time will be here before you know it.  I can't believe how fast the summer has gone by.  Preparing for school is a great childhood memory.  I have fond memories of going shopping for new school supplies and new school clothes.  Start looking for back to school supplies and clothes now.  Stores start having great sales on school supplies.  It is amazing what you can find for free or almost free. For school clothes, look for sales racks and clearance racks.  Also, check online for store coupons.  Register with the store you shop often to be on their email list.  You can often receive great coupons. 

To make sure you have a great school year, always prepare everything you need the night before.  This way you won't forget anything.  It also helps save time in the morning and you won't be late for school.

Master Lock® has hired a new specialist on student life to help students safely and securely navigate this school year in style. The Master Mind, a suave and funny college grad, is staring in a humorous online video series on in which he, along with his clever Little Sister, are setting out to answer students’ most frequent, awkward and perplexing questions on www.facebook.com/masterlock.

Our Vacation to Chicago and Indianapolis

Last week, I was gone on vacation to Chicago and Indianapolis.  We left last Saturday afternoon and didn't get home until 2 am Sunday morning.  We had a wonderful time.  It is always amazing to view new things through a childs eye. 

While in Chicago, we got to do some amazing things.  Thanks to Aunt Cindy for being our tour guide, we got to do everything we wanted in 2 days. We took the train to the Museum of Science of Industry and spent the day.  Afterwards, we walked across the street and cooled off by walking along the beach and getting our feet wet in Lake Michigan.  The following day we went to Navy Pier, rode the 150 ft ferris wheel, took a water taxi to Willis Tower (Sears tower) and went to the Sky Deck, took a taxi ride, and ate lots of great food and snacks.

The rest of the week was spent in Indianapolis.  DH's cousin got married on Friday.  Most of our time was spent with family but we did fit in a couple of trips to our motel pool.  Payton's highlight of the trip besides seeing her cousins was the train, taxi and water taxi.  She loved all 3 and especially loved the fact that she didn't have to wear a seatbelt.  The only problem on our trip......my 1 year old did not like sleeping in the motel baby beds.  The 1st night I got 3 hours of sleep.  He ended up in the bed with me every night and that meant I didn't sleep well.  Thankfully, he is now back to his regular sleeping schedule.

Here is a few pictures from our trip:

The biggest highlight of our trip was..........Bryson made his walking debut while we were in Chicago!  There is no stopping him now.
