Don’t get me wrong I have some fabulous cookie recipes and love to bake but sometimes I crave a good ole’ Pillsbury chocolate chip cookies. Plus the bonus is very little cleanup and cookies are ready so much quicker than when made from scratch.

Pillsbury is our go to for Cresent rolls, Grands biscuits (I prefer flaky) and our Christmas morning tradition, Grand’s cinnamon rolls. We have these every Christmas morning, they bake while we open gifts and the kids munch inbetween wrap ripping. I trust everything we buy from Pillsbury will be delicious and have that home-made feel. With 130 years under their belt they have to be doing something right!


I recently had the opportunity to try Pillsbury new simply…Cookies. YUM! Plus no trans fat, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.. This means real chocolate, real vanilla, real sugar, real peanut butter and real milk; a real cookie just like I would bake myself. I got my cookies along with a cookie jar (which I’m actually using as a sugar jar) and an awesome heavy duty huge capacity reusable cloth bag.

Print a coupon for $1.25 off simply…Cookies right here! Enjoy them tonight!

Toothpaste Spread Heads Recapitulation

August 26, 2009 by

We recently welcomed 2 new members to our family, named Pete the dog and Oscar the cat. They are fun, the kids love them and I love that they require no maintenance. I’m not talking pets I’m talking the adorable new Toothpaste Spread Heads. Pete the Dog and Oscar the Cat add a bit of fun to the ordinary task of brushing.


I actually really like these, they are cuter than the vomiting Mustard Marvin and they CLOSE. The fact that they close is a big plus for me. If toothpaste is left open it gets all hard and rubbery, it’s just downright gross. This revised design lets us keep Pete on all the time and not just when company comes over. Even better Shaun doesn’t fight the issue of oral hygiene as much and Shae will volunteer to brush her teeth 10 times a day now. These simple little guys bring a smile to their face.

Make a kid you know by winning your own set of Toothpaste Spreadheads right here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Become a Fan of Spreadheads on Facebook or Follow them on Twitter, let me know which one you did.

Fit Factor Kids, Exercise for Kids by Kids Recapitulation

August 26, 2009 by

Growing up I remember having physical education at 3 times a week in elementary school. In High School it went down to 2 times a week. Today Shaun only gets it one day a week plus a short recess after lunch. Why the drastic changes? What happened over the years that made school officials think physical activity wasn’t important in children’s lives. What happened to the days of tag, hopscotch, jumprope and relay races? Does your child’s school have a field day to bring in the warm weather?

We’ve all been guilty of allowing lazy behavior from our kids, I’m probably the guiltiest. You all know Shaun loves the television, video games and computer. Sabreena is a bookworm and loves the computer too and Shae follows whatever they do. This doesn’t mean they never leave the house but they could’ve been much more active than they were. This summer was especially lazy; we’ve had really high heat, little rain and a bad attitude about exercise.

Fit Factor Kids is helping to change that bad behavior. Using an exercise video may sound extreme for kids but not when it’s done by kids for kids. The movements start out simple and varied to keep the younger ones motivated and as it progresses they become more focused on aerobics and endurance training. Using kids as the instructors Fit Factor is a series of 6 routines designed to improve children’s fitness. Children use their imaginations and learn how to take care of their bodies as their energetic hosts provide informative tips and instruction. These children’s fitness workouts include creative animal movements, mimic recess activities such as jumping rope, playing four-square and shooting baskets. And our children’s fitness hosts walk you through simple stretching, strengthening and aerobic activities.

 
As you can see Shae is right in there. While she doesn’t the movements exactly right she loves the silliness of the animal movements so she keeps at it. Sabreena is playing right along but as the exercise gets a little more complex she has to work harder, this is usually where Shaun drops to the floor. He’s gonna get his stamina back up soon, soccer starts next week with weekly practice and a game.

Using three elements, ease of use, repetition, fun, Fit Factor was developed to encourage kids to get moving not discourage them with tricky footwork. Coach O, a physical education teacher of 15 years, created the DVD using “peer pressure” in a positive way. The Fit Kid hosts, Lizzy and Dean, are exceptional athletes and great role models and motivating throughout the routines. Fit Factor Kids is not about bulking up muscle and losing weight and getting 6-pack abs, it’s about building a strong, healthy kid. Improving your child’s fitness level can have lot of benefits.

  • Build stronger bones and muscles
  • Control body fat for a leaner build
  • Gain self-confidence and build higher self-esteem
  • Improve academic performance
  • Decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer
  • Raise HDL or “good” cholesterol
  • Reduce blood pressure
  • Lessen chances of becoming overweight

Fit Factor isn’t just for the home either. Do you know your child’s school PE educator? Let them know what Fit Factor is all about. Send them the link, show them the YouTube video or send them HERE. It’s an inexpensive program that can have phenomenal results. A single DVD is $19.95; purchase more than one for discounts.

Give it a chance, let your kids workout with the Fit Factor kids. LookWhatMomFound..and Dad too! is giving our readers the chance to win their own Fit Factor Kids DVD. Visit Fit Factor Kids and sign up for their e-newsletter, come back and tell me you did.

New Balance Kids 571 Recapitulation

August 21, 2009 by

Back to school sneaker shopping got you down? Not sure what sneakers would be good for daily wear or gym class. If you are looking for a very nice sneaker that won’t break the bank check out the New Balance 571’s.

The New Balance 571’s have a very sporty look but are a rugged and durable trail running shoe that features N-FUSE technology which provides superior cushioning for all outdoor activities. The 571’s are avaialbe for boys or girls and come in preschool size (shoe size 10.5-3) and grade school size (3.5-7).

 

 

Here are some feature’s of the 571’s:

    • N-FUSE® Midsole technology joins together foam of two different densities. The top foam is less dense for soft cushioning, while the denser bottom foam provides support and compression set resistance.

 

    • IMEVA (injection-molded EVA foam) midsole for firm yet flexible cushioning

 

    • Aggressive Lugged Outsole gives maximum traction for off-road activities

 

  • Synthetic/Mesh upper provides lightweight comfort and support

Shaun often complains that his feet hurt when he’s running around outside or walking alot. He’s been wearing these for about a week now and I’ve heard no complaints. They must be offering proper cushioning and support. Their lightweight structure is also a plus for running and climbing reducing leg fatigue, making for a more energetic kid. New Balance is a family favorite in our house. Rob wears them to go to the gym, I wear them to walk and workout and they were Shae’s first real sneaker.

New Balance got their start in the early 1900’s. Having grown leaps and bounds since then they are a leader in athletic products including shoes, apparel and sports accessories. Giving back to the community has always been an important part of their mission. New Balance will contribute 15% of wholesale sales from the Lace Up for the Cure Apparel & Footwear Collection with a guaranteed minimum donation of $500,000 up to a maximum of $1 million to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. New Balance is a proud sponsor of Girls on the Run, a program that encourages pre-teen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. New Balance provides shoes for 500 needy girls each year, as well as a pair of running shoes for each council director.

New Balance wants to give LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win 1 of 3 pairs of kids size New Balance 571 sneakers (either boys or girls), pictured above. Tell me what your favorite pair of New Balance are OR something about the positive efforts New Balance is making to better communities all around the United States. (If you do both enteries leave 2 seperate comments)

NewWaveEnviro Eco-friendly Evaluation

August 20, 2009 by

So of course we started back to school shopping. Notebooks, pencils, crayons, binders and so much more were needed. Luckily the kids didn’t need backpacks but they did need lunch bags. Shaun actually went through 2 last year just from being so rough. Sabreena went the green route and used one of my compact reusable bags. It worked fine but everything was rolling around loose in the bag.

New Wave Enviro sent Sabreena a great alternative, a 100% bamboo lunch bag and stainless steel water bottle. Not only will she keep it green she do it a little easier too. This super soft expandable lunch bag is going to hold not just her lunch but the snack she needs after school while doing extra-curriculars plus the goodies she brings to share with her friends. Because it’s bamboo it’s naturally anti-bacterial, strong as steel and soft as silk.

New Wave Enviro provides a full line of eco-friendly products like a 1 liter stainless steel water bottle, corn-based reusable water bottles, water filtration products and other green living goods. Petroleum based plastic is filling up our landfills, sewers and streets plus releasing toxins into our water systems. New Wave Enviro has designed a complete line of reusable water bottles made from recyclable Eastar resin and biodegradable corn-based plastic.
Water filtration is where New Wave Enviro is got its green living start.

Chlorine gas was used extensively in WW1 as a chemical warfare agent. Today it is used in municipal water supplies to deliver water to our homes free of microscopic contaminants. However it serves no useful purpose on or in our bodies. New Wave designs, patents and manufactures water filters that remove harmful chlorine & other contaminants from shower, bath and drinking water at home and away from home.

New Wave Enviro manufactures drinking water filters, shower filters, bathtub filters and “on the go” filters for theirp corn-based reusable water bottle.

Win your own Bamboo lunch bag and 1 liter stainless steel water bottle from New Wave Enviro and LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Visit New Wave Enviro and tell me anther product you would like to try out for a greener, cleaner lifestyle.

Klutz Activites Recapitulation

August 19, 2009 by

Summer is winding down and the kids are getting bored. They’ve plFayed and played till this isn’t anything left to play. So they are sitting in the house sofa surfing with nothing to do. Well I have stuff for them to do. Klutz creates wonderful activities, crafts, games and projects for kids ages 4 to teen. Started in 1977 by three college friends, Klutz got its beginning with sidewalk juggling lessons. With the first weeks earnings topping off at $35, John Cassidy, Darrell Lorentzen and B.C. Rimbeaux knew they could only go up from there.

Today Klutz offers a wide variety of fun things for kids within their collections Klutz Toys, Klutz Kits, Klutz Buckets and Klutz Guides. Klutz is a fixture in book stores, toys stores, book bestseller list and craft and project stores not just in the United States but throughout the world. With a hands-on approach children are able to learn while having fun working on unique projects and games. Tricky Videos, A Complete Guide to Moviemaking Magic is one of their newest additions. A how to collection of video tricks, gags and gimmicks that older kids can do with a video camera.
Here is an example of the cool tricks you can do with Tricky Video.


Sabreena is working on an Adventures in Giant Land video with the neighborhood kids. It’s been hysterical to watch and edit.

Klutz has selections for little kids too. Preschool age is a perfect time to get kids involved in crafts and building and working with their hands. Chicken Socks is a collection for ages 4-6, since most of these activites contain small parts adult supervision is strongly advised. Totally Tape is a a simple idea but one that would capture Shae’s attention in a second. Let kids go wild with colorful paper tape (no scissors required) on activity pages. Let them stick away to their hearts content.
Become a Klutz insider to received their newsletter and received 25% off your purchase. This is a great deal to stock up on cool games and activities for the holidays and cold winter months when the weather doesn’t allow for outdoor play.
Klutz wants to give a LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader 2 activity books to add to their boredom buster arsenal of fun. The winner will receive Tricky Videos and a Chicken Socks selection. Please visit Klutz and tell me another product you would love to try out the kids in your life.

Trix Swirls Creative Kids Gift Pack Solution

August 18, 2009 by

Mornings are hectic and I usually like breakfast to be simple. Honey Nut Cheerios is usually our go to cereal; it’s the one that our kids agree on. We do occasionally get some “fun” cereal for snacking and for treats. I was asked to try out the new Trix Swirls. I figured my kids would enjoy it, I did when I was a kid.

General Mills is one of the world’s largest providers of ready to eat breakfast cereals. Like the rest of their Big G cereal line, Trix is fortied with vitamins and minerals plus made with whole grains. With the addition of milk and fresh fruit or juice it becomes a balanced meal to help get your kids busy day started. New Trix Swirls is a little different than what I was used to growing up. They now combine 2 fruity flavors in each crunchy puff. I was supposed to tell you what my kids thought about the crazy new combinations but the box was empty before I knew it.

Along with the box of Trix Swirls cereal came with a bunch of cool artist supplies (a colorful apron, a set of watercolor pencils, watercolor paints, brushes, a sketchbook, and an art supply box). Sabreena loved the HUGE sketchpad and immediately started drawing with the watercolor pencils at the kitchen table. She the artist of the family so the fun gifts were hers but Shaun is the snacker so he’s probably guilty of dusting off the cereal on his own.
My Blog Spark wants to give 2 LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers Trix Swirls Creative Kid Gift Baskets. Tell me some crazy, funky, gross or funny food combinations you or your kids have tried. Shaun’s latest dinner experiment was mashed potatoes and ketchup; it wasn’t a good outcome.

Plasma Car Recapitulation

August 17, 2009 by

Toys that use good old fashion kid power are hard to come by these days but if you are looking for a children’s toy that your kids will love to ride that doesn’t run on batteries then PlasmaCar has what you are looking for.

The revolutionary new PlasmaCar comes in 6 awesome colors and is very easy to maneuver. It is made from high quality plastics that are rugged and durable, has no pedals or gears and has no batteries to replace. All you need to operate the Plasma Car is a nice flat surface and alot of kid power or adult power depending who is on it for the ride. The PlasmaCar can handle a load of 100 kg (220 lbs) on a smooth, flat surface, and 55 kg (120 lbs) on a rough, flat surface. The Plasma Car is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON HARDWOOD FLOORS OR LAMINATE FLOORING.

My kids LOVE the PlasmaCar so much they wait for the other to get off so that they can jump on. It is actually amusing to see because I never thought a toy that they needed to power themselves would be so popular. Toys that run by remote control or have moving parts or flashing lights tend to be popular with my children. My 2 year old doesn’t have enough kid power to run the PlasmaCar due to her size and understanding of how it works yet but she will sit on it and push with her feet and do the best she get to get it moving. Shaun and Sabreena are pros at riding the PlasmaCar. They jump on and zip down the block with little to no effort at all and have a blast while doing it. They take turn riding the PlasmaCar for hours and never complain about being bored which is great.

I love that the PlasmaCar is not just another electric ride on toy because as a parent what I try to look for in a toy is something that will keep my kids entertained. I also look for toys where they can get some physical activity at the same time and that is a huge plus. I love seeing the enjoyment my kids get when riding the PlasmaCar. If you are looking for a ride on toy that DOESN’T run on batteries that your kids will beg to ride and probably ride non-stop then you need to get yourself a PlasmaCar.

Plasma Car has offered 1 of my lucky readers a chance to win a Plasma Car (No color guarantee) of their own valued at $69.95!!!!

As the mom of a little girl I love finding cute accessories for her towear. She’s a girly girl too who loves shoes, bows, dresses and jewelry. Manic Mittens must have known that Shae’s birthday was coming up because she was sent an adorable tutu and a ponytail streamer.

Starfrit Eco-Friendly Cookware Evaluation

August 14, 2009 by
We’ve made a lot of green changes in our life; paper products, groceries, healthcare choices. Something I never thought twice about was our cookware, I didn’t know there were eco-friendly options out there. Starfrit Alternative Cookware is the green choice I never knew I needed.

• Alternative eco-friendly die-cast cookware
• non-stick surface
• from 100% natural ceramic powder
• CHEMICAL FREE – Easy to clean
• Made of 99% recycled aluminum
• Even heat distribution
• Extra thick base never warps, buckles or bends
• Integrated induction base is for the use on all stovetops including induction
• 5-year warranty with proof of purchase
• Available in 24 cm 28cm sizes



What makes this a great non-stick pan is the 100% ceramic surface, made from ceramic powder, a natural element of the earth. This does away from the potentially toxic chemicals in traditional non-stick pans. I was able to make 6 scrambled eggs with NO oil at all. With nothing left in the pan I was thoroughly impressed. Clean up was quick, a few swipes with a soapy sponge and that was it. We’ve been using the Starfrit Alternative Fry Pan daily for a couple weeks and have no complaints for its ability to cook the food we like to eat, healthier and a bit easier.

The manufacturers recommendations are to add a teaspoon of oil for better cooking results but I haven’t figured out why. Also did you know that you should only salt water after it has come to a boil. The melting salt could attack the metal and coating leaving divets in your pan.

This pan not only passes for being green but gets and A++ for allowing us to cook healthier! Starfrit wants to give LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win their own Alternative Fry Pan. Visit Starfrit and tell me another kitchen product you would love to try and WHY.
