Fancy Fortune Cookie #Giveaway
WOW, I have to say. Yummy is another word, umm how about Fantastic, Can’t stop eating them. Where did you get these were only some of the responses that were uttered when these little delights were being eaten.
Fancy Fortune Cookies sent me enough of these for a party of 50. I didn’t count them all but the cookies that were left over were taken to our business meeting and gone leaving some moms wanting more. Erin from Fancy Fortune Cookies was a complete pleasure to work with. She even made sure that the fortunes inside were personalized to our event. It gave us all a smile.
She sent us strawberry flavored dark chocolate covered fortune cookies. It was reminding me of chocolate covered strawberries (not quite as good but completely different and still wonderful). She also decided to sponsor of giveaway for one lucky reader of Mom Start.
They make all kinds of flavors from orange to raspberry and even mint. I was really surprised at how good they really are. Even Oprah loves these as great party favors.
About Fancy Fortune Cookies:
In late fall of 1987 he had a "crazy" idea that forever changed my life. (Check out the first newspaper article about my original concept!) While eating in my favorite small, local Chinese restaurant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, he wondered "Why doesn’t anyone make fortune cookies in fun colors and fruit flavors that actually taste good, like Jelly Belly does with its gourmet jelly beans?"
The Old Idea
He was tired of my fortune cookies tasting bland, in one flavor choice and sometimes almost cardboard-like in taste. So, he decided to pioneer the idea and take on the challenge himself. Cold logic should have warned me about how hard my Willy Wonka style idea would be to pull off…
In fact, that "out of the box" decision has become his life’s work and full-time career for the last 15 years! And it’s taken him on a magical journey into the age-old-mystery of fortune cookie making and Chinese proverbs to become Fancy Fortune Cookies.

Aloha Friday Time
Kailani says “In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response”. You should go to Kailani’s site and link up with Mr. Linky, but be sure and answer her question.
My Question:
Do you ever feel overbooked?
I currently feel overbooked with my blog right now. I have so many reviews due and I don’t feel like doing any of them today. I hope I feel like writing tomorrow night. I know some families feel this way with their kids so what kind of overbooking do you have?
Thursday 13 Power of Photo Therapy and Smiles
This week for my Thursday 13 I decided to write about photo therapy and Kodak sent me some ideas to get started with. So many people are on facebook and twitter and I’m always getting tagged. I love being tagged I’m so excited to see what photo I’m in. It’s much better than a poke right?
1. Create A Picture-Perfect Environment: Decorate your space with photos of friends, family, loved ones and places you enjoy. Be sure to select photos that contain strong positive memories. Every photo has feelings and memories just underneath its surface; choosing the right one lets you to revisit those moments all over again.
2. Share Your World: The people you miss, miss you too. Let the important people in your life know how you’re doing by sharing not just the special moments but the ordinary moments too. Sharing the “small stuff” can have a BIG impact on your relationships.
3. Interview Your Photo: Unlock the magic of your photo. Find the happiest picture in your collection and imagine a conversation with it. What positive message would it want you to know? How would it like you to feel? What would it want you to remember?
4. Try a Photo Pick Me Up: Beat your blues! Find your most positive photo and carry it with you. Looking at a photo of happier times puts you right back there again, feeling that same way, right now!
5. Breaking the Ice: Turn your photos into conversation starters. Behind every picture is a great story that wants to be told; it’s just waiting for you to ask! Sharing your photos is like sharing your life; when others hear your anecdotes, connections are made that can last a lifetime.

6. Participate in Wordless Wednesday : this is a great way to interact with other blogger and see all kinds of different perspectives.
7. Participate in Photo Hunt:
8. Tag me: Tag someone in a photo today, I’m sure you’ll make their day.
9. Shred U: I Shred U! ™ Facebook application from Staples, Inc.. I think this would make me happy to shred some of my own pictures that I don’t want to look at anymore. Sounds like a load of fun.
Pasted below is a link to the flash video, which provides a quick walk through (sound-free) on how the application works:

Yogabuddies Bedtime Stories DVD #giveaway
Yoga Buddies bedtime stories has been fun for me. I enjoy yoga and wanted to see if my daughter would do it. She’s two and she didn’t seem like she wanted to do any of it. I asked her if she would do a butterfly with me and she was like, “oh yeah!”. She did it and loved it.
Then when daddy got home we showed him that she learned how to be a butterfly. We didn’t really pay attention to the stories yet but we should try it again. I love teaching her things and this was a great experience.
This DVD was created to help children fall asleep. It didn’t do that for us but she’s only two and her attention span is

I’ve always been a Little Miss Matched #giveaway
I love miss matched socks and Little Miss Matched makes really cute ones. Not only that, but they make unmatched clothing too and it’s so cute on little ones. From tights to Furniture you can find the perfect miss matched item at little miss matched.
Little Miss Matched contacted me and asked me to do a review and giveaway. They sent me a set of three socks for Miles. They were green and blue, one had blue dinosaurs, one had green dinosaurs and the third one was blue and green stripes. 
This is the best picture that I have of him in the socks. I wasn’t thinking about taking a picture of him in the socks. Oh well. They wash and ware well so I would believe that the clothing and furniture hold up to the same standards.
I loved the furniture and I’m not looking right now because I don’t have the room but I did like what they had. So I asked how much shipping was and it’s free. So I’m excited. My husband and I have had the worst time finding furniture. There just don’t seem like very many places that have furniture.
Well, one lucky reader can win a pair of socks for every day of the week. Your choice.
To Enter:
Visit little miss matched and come back here and tell me something you like in the comments.

Word World Happy Birthday Word Friends
Word World where words come alive. I was first introduced to Word World when I was at another Moms house. her kids were watching it and it was after I had been working on letters with my daughter. She said ‘e’ and there was an e. I was so excited.
The other mom said she loves Word World because it brings back memories of when she used to make pictures out of words. The only one I ever did was boy or girl. She had a larger imagination than I did and so did the creators of this show.
I love watching Word World too. It comes on PBS and is put out on DVD’s by NCircle Entertainment.
NCircle was kind enough to send us a preview DVD of Happy Birthday WordFriends. The animals are trying to throw Dog a surprise birthday party. They also want to ensure that he has a cake so they work it out to make Dog a special birthday. This DVD also includes two other stories. One is Pig’s present and the other story is Bit By Bit.
