Weight Watchers Quick Lunch Banana and Peanut Butter Sandwich

April 13, 2011 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Growing up in the south, a banana and peanut butter sandwich was the go-to lunch when I was a kid. Just because I am an adult now, doesn’t mean that I cannot still love my specialty sandwiches. The only thing is that peanut butter can use up some beloved points but not anymore. A friend suggested the Better’ N Peanut Butter. It is only 2 points per 2 tablespoons. I am usually going through a jar once a week, it is that good. I do the low sodium.

I decided a couple of weeks to start making my banana and peanut butter sandwiches again. I use the white wheat bread that is now 3 points for two slices on the new points plus program.

This delicious sandwich is only 5 points and it will leave you full. Pair it with some celery or an apple and you have a quick lunch.

Zhu Zhu Puppies Are Huge Hit With Kids

April 13, 2011 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

Zhu Zhu Puppies came and invaded our living room floor. The minute L walked in from school and saw them in the middle of the floor, she dropped the book bag and went to ripping the boxes. As you all may remember, she loves her zhu zhu pets so much that we had her a zhu zhu birthday party last year. So much fun!

I will have to say that since L is such a big dog lover, that I think she loves the zhu zhu puppies more than the zhu zhu hamsters. She will just sit and play for the longest time and groom the puppies. Enough from hearing from me, let’s go straight to the source with our Kids Reporters M and L.

I believe it is safe to say, that these are kid tested and kid approved :).

Zhu Zhu Puppies are availabile at most retailers such as Target, WalMart and Amazon.com.

Spring Brings All New Worries To Parents

April 11, 2011 by Jennifer 1 Comment

The weather has been absolutely beautiful here. This means some very much needed outdoor time for the whole family. The girls love the outdoors and it helps keep us all sane around here when we can run around outside with no worries right? Well, I thought that is how Spring works.

L and I were enjoying some mommy and L time at the park Friday while M and daddy were at her softball practice. All is well in the world until my heart skips a beat.

See this beautiful smile on L:

She is really enjoying swinging until all of a sudden right after I took this picture, L decides to take a leap off the swing right as the swing was in mid-air. She fell hard on her head and I dropped everything. My purse, my phone, my camera and immediately grabbed her up. Probably not the best move, but I was terrified that she was hurt bad. I looked at her and she was completely dazed for a few seconds and then as she started seeing more clearly, she said mommy please get this dirt off of me. I said L, you really did just hit hard, are you ok? Yes, mommy just get this dirt off of me now. No tears at all, just worried about the dirt touching her beautiful dress.

Life can come at you fast and I am hoping that we do not have any more of these incidents. I was thanking God for his blessings and keeping her safe. She definitely had an angel watching over her – Grandma perhaps? I like to think so 🙂 L’s reasoning behind the jump was that she felt like she was slipping!

Method Detergent Laundry Room Love – Giveaway

April 11, 2011 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Laundry is not one of my favorite activities at all, but the task gets easier when you have a nice laundry detergent. I first came across the Method brand back in 2008 and use their hand soap in our bathrooms now. I love that it is a green product since my girls LOVE washing their hands like ten million times a day. Not sure where they got this from… not their mom at all 😉

When Method contacted me about their laundry detergent, I jumped at the chance to be able to experience it.

Just why is Method so great:

Smarter – one 20 oz. bottle can tackle 50 loads of laundry with a quarter of the dose of leading brands.
Easier – the precision-dosing pump can be used with one hand and prevents over usage.
Greener – method’s laundry detergent is made with 95% natural and renewable ingredients in a recyclable bottle.

Also, to raise the greatness factor even more, Method has created a Laundry Room Love video which is a crowdsourced music video that spreads the word about method’s amazing laundry detergent.

You can get involved in the video by submitting your own video to them. Get out your webcam and be one of the first 200 submissions and you will be featured in their music video and receive a free bottle of method laundry detergent. Visit the Method’s Facebook page and watch their how-to video on how to submit your video. Everyone who actually watches their how-to video will get a $2 redeemable coupon for the laundry detergent. They will then launch the final crowdsourced video and thank people for sharing and watching by offering another $2 coupon. It’s a win-win for everyone!

You can win a bottle of Method Detergent right now here at One Moms World!

Just leave a comment below detailing one thing you liked about the video above.

Thanks to Mom Spark Media for this project. I did receive two bottles of detergent in order to promote the Laundry Room Love. I was not compensated and all thoughts and opinioins are of my own. Contest will end April 15, 2011 at 11:59pm ET.
