Note to self: You are not a hairdresser

If there's one thing I learned this weekend, it's that I am not a hairdresser. These are the moments when cosmetology school would come in handy.  Willow has always been "hair impaired". The twins actually have more hair now then she did on her first birthday. Because she's always been a baldy she's never been to have a haircut. I just trim an inch or so every few months when the ends start to look stringy. Saturday night we sat down to trim it and I told her repeatedly "Mommy is going to cut your hair please don't move". The first few snips went just fun and then she got distracted by a commercial and jerked her head to the side, loosing a 3in chunk of hair in the middle of her head. I had no choice but to start chopping which resulted in her having ear length hair. My boyfriend jokingly says she looks like Chucky, but I'm not so sure it's a joke.
All Saturday night she kept telling me "Willow hair all gone, bye bye hair, no move." Maybe next time she'll listen?

I'm a Mommy on a mission

Willow saw a commercial for one of those Lite Sprites, and now she has to have one. I thought about reviewing one, but you have to be pretty up there in the Mommy/Daddy Blogging world to get one, so our next step is entering giveaways. Not kidding, I have entered 15 different Lite Sprite giveaways so far this morning. (Thanks Swagbucks search engine!) I am on a mission to get her one, one way or another. So my question for you is what is the  one thing you've been determined to win, and did you ever get one?

Peter Rabit Organics Review and Giveaway

As a mom I feel that one of my most important jobs is to make sure my children are eating healthy food and learning good eating habits. Sure baking is a routine thing around here and I admit my oldest has had a few Happy Meals in her lifetime, but overall I try to make sure that she's eating well. I have no real problem getting her to eat her fruit, but veggies are a different adventure. Unless it's broccoli or carrots it's just not happening. That's where Peter Rabbit Organics comes to the rescue!
  
Peter Rabbit Organics snacks provide 100% of the recommended servings of fruit and/or vegetables for kids and contain no artificial ingredients and no added sugar. The mess-free, BPA-free pouches also make convenient on-the-go snacks and the no-choke caps make them a perfect (and safe) snack for infants and toddlers.

The pouches are available in six flavors:
•             Strawberry and Banana
•             Apple and Grape
•             Mango, Banana and Orange
•             Sweet Potato, Corn and Apple
•             Carrot, Squash and Apple
•             Pea, Spinach and Apple


When our box arrived I was a little hesitant, I thought there was no way Willow would ever eat the Sweet Potato, Corn and Apple or Pea, Spinach and Apple pouches. I told her I had some special snacks for her to try and gave her one that I knew she'd like, so we started with Apple and Grape.
At first she was a little reluctant to try them, but soon she realized they were really good and I could barely get her to stand still long enough to get a picture. She kept dancing around and singing that "Willow's snacks were yummy yummy". She liked them so much that all 6 pouches were gone within 24 hours, even the Pea, Spinach and Apple that I was so worried about!

 I love that with Peter Rabbit Organics what you see on the front of the pouch is the only thing you'll get. No added flavors, crazy chemicals or added sugar that will keep my already hyper child bouncing off the walls. Plus everything is organic so there is no need to worry about the pesticides your kids may ingest while eating their fruits and veggies. The only negative I've found is the price, I don't see us being able to buy them at every grocery trip, but they'll defiantly be our go to treat and snack for traveling.Want some Peter Rabbit Organic pouches of your own?

Where to buy:
Peter Rabbit Organics snacks are available at Starbucks, grocery retailers across the country, and Amazon.com


How to win:
Peter Rabbit Organics has generously offered a variety box of 12 fruit and veggie pouches for one lucky reader! All you have to do is enter using the easy Rafflecopter form provided!
