Got Milk Breakfast Blitz Vote For Your School #BfastBlitz Giveaway

by 12 Comments

I love our school district. We live in the Northshore School district in Washington State and I really feel like the district cares about the quality of education that our children are receiving. Of course there are quite a few things that can be improved upon, there are with any schools. My daughter, the school that she goes to, just put in a new playground. I know they haven’t raised all the funds to pay for it yet and I’m sure they have other needs as well. Got Milk has a great program, The Got Milk Breakfast Blitz going on where you could enter to win money for your school and all you have to do is buy a milk.

Every Milk purchase between now and February 17th 2013 will help support breakfast programs at local schools and give you a chance to win tickets to the 2014 Super Bowl. It’s a great way to support your local school and their breakfast program. It’s really important for children to start their day with a healthy breakfast and I wish all schools had great breakfast programs. I have noticed a trend that they are getting better but we need to be doing all that we can to keep the programs moving in that direction. So buy milk and use the UPC code to enter and win.

Morning #LatteLove @MilkMustache Makes My Breakfast Better: My Reading List

by 117 Comments

Of course I have to have my morning cup of coffee and I really love Lattes. I have to say it’s the only way I get my milk serving in sometimes. While I’m drinking my Latte I have to have do my blogging rounds and TheBreakfastProject.com by @MilkMustache  asked me to come up with a list of who my favorite “reads” are.

I love to go check out Wired.com because I love the science and tech and laughs over there including GeekDad and GeekMom. I also check out Babble and the StrollerDerby from time to time because of the fabulous Sunny Chanel. But when I think blogs, I really think about the smaller blogs that my friends that I read every day because I have to know how they are doing and what they are up to.

These are the ones I visit almost daily.

A Nut in a Nutshell

Simply Being Mommy

Southern Bella’s Ways to Save

Surf N Sunshine

MakobiScribe

I love each one because they all have their own voice and aren’t afraid to share a piece of their lives. A nut in a nutshell shares stories about her daughter and her life all the time. Simply Being Mommy is sharing something so personal as her surrogacy and I’m amazed she even has the energy to blog. Southern Bella’s Ways to Save shares her love of saving money, vast reading list and love of movies. Surf N Sunshine shares her travels and wedding ideas and MakobiScribe share a bit of everything like me.

 

Don’t forget to:

The Importance of Always Being a Role Model

by 3 Comments

I’m constantly reminded that sponge one and sponge two are ALWAYS watching me. Zoe and Miles absorb everything I do, they absorb everything that everyone does, even their piers which isn’t always such a good thing. Some of my habits are not exactly what I want my children doing so I have to concentrate on being a good role model that they can look up too. IMG_0096

My grandmother was always giving to others. If you gave her a gift more than likely she would find someone that needed it rather than keep it herself. She did Meals on Wheels all the time and showed me the true meaning of giving. It’s because of her that I try to give as much as I can as well. I use my blog as a tool to give to our community, and it helps to teach Miles and Zoe to give too. They see me giving and hopefully they will learn to have a giving heart their entire lives too. I think I’m making some progress because on day Zoe told me, “Mommy, I when I grow up, I want to be a princess blogger”. So she’s got part of it down.

But more than just the giving, I really want to show them how to be strong, independent kind adults. The Milk Mustache Campaign on Facebook understands that moms are central in determining the type of people our children turn out to be as adults. They learn to make nutritious eating decisions, how to treat their friends, and how to make many other complicated decisions just by watching us.  The National Milk Mustache Got Milk campaign is now providing the resources and encouragement to help moms stay the course, Be A Role Model. The new interactive Milk Mustache Facebook page features a customizable ePostcard app that allows you to send a personal greeting to someone you know, and a really cute video with some of my bloggy friends. You’ll also find a many great recipes that include milk, so go check it out.

 

 

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of the National Milk Mustache got milk? Campaign and received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
