Finding Fun and Sturdy Glasses for Kids

December 4, 2017 by Jenni 780 Comments

This is a sponsored post on behalf of DiscountGlasses.com. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own, and honest as always.

 

glasses for kids

If your child has recently failed an eye exam and been told that he needs to wear glasses, you may think it is impossible to find fun, trendy glasses while ensuring they can survive a day at school (e.g., think monkey bars, tag, dodge ball, etc.)!  Glasses for young children may seem like a losing proposition altogether; however, there are some eyeglasses that are built specifically to handle the daily physical routine of youngsters. Below, you’ll find some tips for finding fun, yet sturdy, glasses for kids.

We really like the Pickelz line at DiscountGlasses.com. They’re really sturdy and prices there start at just $9.95 with most of the kids glasses around $25-$27 on sale! The BEST part is that they offer FREE shipping on any size order and they have 365 day FREE returns. If for whatever reason you don’t like them, you can return them in the first year! They also offer same day and overnight shipping for those who are in a rush.

If you wear contacts, then make sure to visit DiscountContactLenses.com! They offer the lowest prices guaranteed AND they offer 20% off for new customers and free shipping over $99. They also have a 365 day free returns included if your prescription changes in the 1st year.

Below are some really great tips for picking out glasses for your kiddos!

1. Consider Face Shape

One of the easiest ways to ensure you and your child select glasses that will flatter his face is by focusing on the frame style.  Before reaching for just any glasses to try on, take note of the shape of your child’s face.  Most people generally fall into one of the following four face shape categories:

  • Oval – this facial shape is generally designated by a chin that is slightly narrower than the forehead with otherwise balanced features.
  • Round – if you have a round face, the width and length are mostly equal which creates a soft, circular shape.
  • Square – strong, distinct angles around the forehead, cheeks and jawline characterize a square face shape.
  • Heart – the heart-shaped face is designated by a wider forehead with narrower cheekbones and jawline.

Once you have determined your child’s general face shape, you can begin to select the best style of frames for his face.  If your child has a round face, it is best to select square frames to help balance the roundness while a square-faced child benefits from round frames to help tone down the prominent angles of his face.  An oval-shaped face is generally pretty versatile when it comes to selecting frames; however, it is likely best to avoid oval frames in order to avoid making your face look longer.  Heart-shaped faces may benefit from frames that are wider at the bottom to help counterbalance a narrow chin.

 

2. Look at Different Types of Frames

Many parents assume they should buy their child plastic frames because they are generally less expensive and offer more options for color and style.  If you can get a good fit with plastic frames then by all means go for it; however, be sure to consider frames made from metal as well since they are easy to adjust in order to get the perfect fit.  It is important that your child’s glasses fit properly in order to avoid them slipping off easily while playing.

 

3. Ask About the Lens Material

Once the frames have been selected, be sure to ask about the lens material as well.  A few features you will want to have included are an anti-scratch coating and ultraviolet protection coating.  You may want to also consider having an anti-reflective or anti-glare coating added to the lenses as well in order to minimize the reflection on the lenses.

Once you have considered the above mentioned features, be sure to let your child have the final say on which glasses he will wear.  If he feels like he is allowed to have a voice in the decision, he will definitely be more likely to wear them.

 

natural baby products + 5 things to leave out of your diaper bag!

100% Natural Baby Products Alternatives + 5 Things to Leave OUT of Your Diaper Bag!

February 19, 2017 by Jenni 1,161 Comments

Are you looking for some natural baby products and alternatives to some of the products you’re using now?

I’m sharing some excellent ALL natural baby products and ideas with you! You need to put these things inside your diaper bag, vs. what’s typically packed inside!

natural baby products + 5 things to leave out of your diaper bag!

100% Natural Baby Products Alternatives + 5 Things to Leave Out of Your Diaper Bag!

 

As a mom, you want to protect your babies from anything and everything harmful. Right?

 

{INSERT MOMMA BEAR ROAR!}

Did you know that some of the most toxic, poisonous, and harmful things that can affect our babies, are things that we splash on them often, every. single. day! It’s true!

Moms. Please know that I am 100% guilty of doing the VERY same thing! I know how you feel! I’m slowly learning that some of the products we use, seem safe and healthy –  but they are truly toxic and even cancer causing. And I have them inside my home. Slathering these things on myself and my kid!

 

 

no mom guilt allowed

NO MOM GUILT ALLOWED!

 

No MOM guilt allowed, moms! EVER! You do what you do, because you love your children. Parenting and life in general, is a learning process. I just want to let you know that there are SAFE products that you can use. Empower you with information that is or can be, life-changing!

Never. Ever, ever, ever, ever — feel guilty about doing what you think is best for your kids! EVER! Deal?!

 

 

100% natural baby products - alternatives to dangerous chemicals in normal everyday baby products!

5 REAL – 100% Natural Baby Products Alternatives!

 

Below, are 5 products that are probably inside your diaper bag. These are toxic. You can actually google each product and/or the MSDS sheet for each and find out why! I’m sharing excellent alternatives that you can re-stock your home and diaper bag with right NOW!

 

 

1. Ditch Talcum Powder and/or Baby Powder (linked to ovarian cancer and lung diseases)

 

natural baby products - all natural baby powder

  • Switch to this talc-free, fragrance free 100% all natural baby powder HERE!

Why ditch and switch?! With talcum powder being so recent in the news after a couple large lawsuits surrounding its use, it’s time to switch to something SAFE! This info. below comes from ConsumerSafety.org. You can also read more by clicking on the links above.

Talcum powder, a common ingredient in personal hygiene products, has been linked to life-threatening diseases and conditions, such as ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, and respiratory complications. The connection to the these health risks has been suspected for decades, but no action was taken to protect consumers. The lack of any type of product warning sparked a surge of lawsuits resulting in 3 major verdicts in 2016, and thousands more in the legal system.

 

 

  • 2. Ditch Traditional Baby Oil (they limit skin breathability and toxin release!)

 

Natural baby products! Ditch traditional baby oil, and switch to organic coconut oil!

Switch to one of these all natural alternatives below! Viva Naturals is a great alternative, as well.

You can find these oils below, on Amazon…just by clicking on them.

Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Almond Oil

 

Switching to an all natural oil like the ones listed above, guarantees that you’re moisturizing your babies with only goodness. Did you know that traditional baby oils are made from mineral oils that act like a “liquid plastic”. Imagine slathering liquid plastic all over you?! Right? Eww. Your skin cannot breathe and it doesn’t allow toxins to leave your body.

Also, most baby oils contain fragrances. Did you know that brands do not have to list in their ingredients lists, what the fragrances are made from?! Chemicals. That’s what those fragrances are made from. Nasty chemicals.

 

 

  • 3. Ditch the Anti-bacterial Soaps and Gels (they contain triclosan, which is carcinogenic. Don’t believe me? Google it!)

Thieves Spray
Switch to an all natural product like Young Living Thieves Spray or Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier to clean and purify virtually everything!

I mean, let’s face it. I’m NOT going to clean my hands or a baby’s toy with something that could potentially cause cancer. Period. Thieves products are excellent for our immune systems. They contain clove, cinnamon bark, rosemary, lemon, and eucalyptus radiata essential oils.

 

 

  • 4. Belladonna (found in teething remedies) – linked to seizures!

 

copaiba
Switch to natural remedies like a chilled damp wash cloth, or pressure from your finger on their gums. Essential oils like Thieves and Copaiba have been used for thousands of years.

We all know the torment that comes with teething babies. I’m sticking to doing what my ancestors did. They had it all figured out, after all.

 

 

  • 5. Fragrances (can cause respiratory, neurological, and skin damage. May lead to asthma!)

Young Living Premium Starter Kit with Dew Drop Diffuser Switch to fragrance-free, organic, or sensitive products. Naturally fragrant products like pure, therapeutic grade essential oils – is the perfect alternative!

Look for the word “fragrance” in the ingredients list in your baby products. Did you know that manufacturers do not have to tell you what ingredients are used in their “fragrances”? You can bet that those fragrances are completely chemical ridden.

There are so many DIY recipes out there on the net that are 100% natural, using pure therapeutic grade essential oils as the fragrance component. If you’re looking to make something homemade with essential oils for you, your home, and your baby – just look online and find one that works for you.

 

 

ditch and switch

I hope that you decide to Ditch & Switch some or all of these items in your diaper bag, and home! You’ll be SO glad that you did. It will give you peace of mind too, knowing that you’re doing something healthy and important in the long run. Years from now, your children will thank you!

 

Tell us, what products have you ditched and switched? We’d love to know!!

sick day activities for kids at home

7 Fun and Easy Sick Day Activities for Kids at Home + $25 Target Gift Card/Pfizer Prize Pack Giveaway

February 14, 2017 by Jenni 750 Comments

Sick days are inevitable. These sick day activities for kids at home are perfect when they’re tired of resting. This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare and 20th Century Fox, however, all cute and #SickJustGotReal survival ideas are my own.

 

sick day activities for kids at home

Sick Day Activities for Kids at Home!

 

It never fails. Winter comes, and along with it comes all the gnarly and yucky bugs and viruses. #SickJustGotReal 

This last week, Eli finally got over some virus that wouldn’t let go. He spent several days home from school – and he was miserable. Snotty, coughing, fever-y, and just plain “blah”. Poor kid.

First things first. Moms, it’s time to pull out the “Sick Day Survival Kit”! What does this survival kit include? Well, it should include everything needed to take care of the sickie’s symptoms. Next in the kit, should include any and all fun activities that will help make them feel better when they’re bored.

 

advil

Break up that Fever!

If they’re running a fever that isn’t breaking on it’s own – pull out the Children’s Advil®. Not only does it help knock down a fever, but it also eases those aches and pains. Bonus: It comes in great-tasting flavors so it’s a great solution for kids as young as 2 and up to 11!

Flavors include Sugar-free Dye-free Berry, Bubble Gum, Grape, Blue Raspberry, Fruit and Dye-Free White Grape flavors. There’s also Infants’ Advil® White Grape, which provides unsurpassed fever relief among OTC pain relievers with a syringe for easy dosing for children 6-23 months.

 

Screen Shot 2017-02-13 at 7.36.00 PMI don’t know about your kids, but mine gets bored. Easily. Especially when he’s sick at home. Yeah, he might sleep off and on, but don’t let this fool you. After they’ve slept their yuckies off – they’re bored and need something to keep them entertained. I did a bit of crowd-sourcing from some of my other mom friends too, to see what ideas they had.

Ready for Those Sick Day Activities for Kids at Home?

 

  1. Watch a Movie!

Pop in a new movie or one of their favorites while they’re laying around. Eli loves The Peanuts Movie! It’s currently one of his favorites that he watches over and over! Snuggle up on the couch with your sick little one and encourage some rest time. Momma definitely needs her rest time on sick days too!!! Right?! This is (in all honesty) probably my favorite of all of the activities for kids at home on sick days!

 

peanuts movie

The Peanuts Movie:

Dream big and laugh along with good ol’ Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved Peanuts gang as you’ve never seen them before — in a brand-new feature film from the imagination of Charles M. Schulz and the creators of Ice Age. Join everyone’s favorite eternal optimist, Charlie Brown, as he embarks on a heroic quest, while his beagle pal Snoopy takes to the skies to pursue his archnemesis, the Red Baron. It’s a hilarious and heartwarming adventure that proves every underdog has his day!

 

2. Extra Tablet or iPad Time!

My child could spend hours on his iPad. We have to monitor the amount of time he spends on there…but on sick days, we let him have a little more “plugged” in time.

 

 

eli reading

3. Book Marathon!

Let your child pick out their favorite books, to read to you. Or if they’re battling a sore throat, you can read to them. If you have an older child – now might be a great time to catch up on their latest book series!

 

4. Play Cards or Board Games!

Pull out the deck of cards for some fun Slap Jack – or Old Maid. Card games and board games can easily be played while laying in bed.

 

5. Puzzles!

Puzzle books or printable puzzle pages are fun! Crosswords, word searches, hidden pictures, etc. If you don’t have puzzle books on hand, you can always print some off the internet!

 

6. Tell Stories!

Now while you have their ear – it’s a GREAT time to tell them stories! Stories of how you and dad met. Stories about their grandparents…aunts/uncles! Fun stories about when YOU were little! Then let them tell you their stories!

 

7. Mini Sandbox Fun!

If they can’t go outside, bring the outside to them! Fill a small box with sand and/or rocks and hide random small things inside for them to find! This is a great idea when your child is up and out of the bed. Maybe save this idea for when they’re able to hang out at the kitchen table, or somewhere where clean-up would be easy.

 

 

 

Other Items that Should be in Sick Day Survival Kit:

17444350

  • Children’s Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack (Children’s Robitussin® Cough & Chest Congestion and Children’s Robitussin® Nighttime Cough for ages 6+) non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long-acting nighttime formula relieves coughs and runny noses to help kids get the rest they need.

You wanna know how to decorate the rim of a glass with sprinkles. It’s wayyyy easy to do, and is such a cute idea for anytime. So because it’s especially fun for parties, here’s how you do it.

What you Need:

  • Your favorite glasses or cups
  • chocolate chips
  • sprinkles

 

Instructions:

1. Pour chocolate chips into a small microwave safe bowl. One that is not too big, but large enough for the rim of your glass to reach into.

2. Melt chocolate chips according to package directions. How many chocolate chips you use varies according to how many glasses you want to decorate. You should be able to dip a few to several cups – using 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.

4. Pour sprinkles into a small saucer.

5. Dip rim with melted chocolate into the sprinkles, rim down and coat. Then turn the glass rim on it’s edge and turn to coat the edge of the rim as well so that all the chocolate is covered with sprinkles and not much, if any, chocolate is showing.

6. Set upright on the counter until the chocolate has dried and the sprinkles are set.

7. After the sprinkles are set, fill the glasses with your yummy chocolate milk or whatever you’re wanting to drink, and enjoy!

Christmas Mobile Wish Lists Made EASY at Toys”R”Us!

This post brought to you by Toys“R“Us . The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

I just cannot believe that Christmas is less than a month away! Are your kids making their Wish Lists already?! I remember when I was little and how giddy I felt, when it was time to make my Wish List!!

Our Great Big Toys”R”Us Book of Awesome arrived the other day and our kiddo found it before I did. Eeek! He already has “big” plans with his Wish List this year. It’s gettin’ real folks!!! Thankfully, the Toys”R”Us Big Book of AWWWESOME makes creating his Wish List super easy! Check it out…

 

 

15301088_1352714268085695_361302921_nKids’ Wish List goes MOBILE!

I noticed on the front of the Toys”R”Us Big Book, this little green circle that says “new! Wish List goes mobile”. Well, in all honesty, mobile = EASY for me! We gave it a try and it’s super duper easy AND convenient! What an #AwesomeMoment!

The best part is that you can create a list for each kiddo and name them! No more confusion, and no more losing all those handwritten wish lists! Now, if your child still insists on writing their own wish list on paper – that’s perfectly fine! I recommend it! Then you can make a mobile version of their hand-written Wish List. Besides…Santa likes to receive both hand-written AND mobile Wish Lists!

 

 

15227981_1352714118085710_274994675_n

All you need to do is go to Toysrus.com/WishList and create your Wish List – or many of them. Get signed in and simply tap the camera icon to start building the Wish List! You can take a picture of any item in the  Big Book of Awwwesome and the items or similar items will appear! You can then go ahead and add that item to cart OR scroll on down to add to their wish list. Seeeee? How easy is that?!

 

 

15240088_1352742194749569_983364513_n

As you can see from our own wish list making – I took a picture of the Bop It! Sonic game. It uploaded the image, and then gave me the options that I could click to add to his wish list. You can also use the bar code scanner option if you’re visiting in-store!

Since this week is Cyber Week at Toys”R”Us – now’s the time to get great deals on all of the items on your kid’s Wish Lists! My kiddo has tons of stuff on his Wish List. From Legos to Marvel Comic action figures. Star Wars toys, and many more fun things! If you need a little help, visit some of Toys”R”Us BFF’s and Get Inspired.

You better bet I’ll be shopping this Cyber Week to get the very BEST deals! Don’t you miss out on all of the savings this week at Toys”R”Us!

 

 

15280929_1351594114864377_505168308_n

We do have a few big ticket items that we’d like to get for him from his Wish List. Some things may have to hold out till his birthday, but you never know. Santa may be extra awesome this year!

We will also be donating some toys through some local and national drives! If you donate as well, I suggest using the Cyber deals this week to score some awesome toys at pretty big discounted prices!

What big ticket item is on your kiddo’s wish list this year?

Bug Scavenger Hunt Free Printable

As a child growing up in the 80’s, playing outside till dark was the norm. We didn’t sit inside in front of a screen all day. We caught bugs, played hide and seek, dodgeball, you name it. I remember doing a bug scavenger hunt when I was little. In the fall, when the leaves would start dropping, my mom and I used to find all the different leaves and she’d tell me what they were. Ahhh, the memories!

I bet you didn’t have a clue, but kids ages 8-18 spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes in front of an iPad, game system, TV, and online…in a typical day. INSTEAD of playing outside! I know my kiddo spends tons of time inside – but never really looked at how MUCH time. We’re changing that.

This summer, TruGreen is encouraging us to get outside and make memories with our loved ones…doing fun “outdoorsy” things. They’ve launched the #LiveLifeOutside 2016 Summer Sweepstakes! All you have to do to enter is to share photos or videos for a chance to win weekly prizes!

1/8 cup of peanut butter
1/8 cup of marshmallow fluff

 

Instructions:

  1. Begin by rolling the bread flat with a rolling pin or something smooth. Roll it out pretty thin.
  2. Next, spread a thin layer of peanut butter.
  3. Then, spread a thin layer of marshmallow fluff on top.
  4. Roll up tight, and cut into small bite size pieces!
  5. Store in airtight containers so they don’t get stale.

Alright, now seriously…how easy is that?! It’s a game-changer in our kitchen. The kiddo loves when we make these and then naturally, momma has to have her ginormous and thick fluffernutter all to herself. With that cold glass of milk. Shhhh!!! If I keep it a secret, I don’t have to count those calories. 🙂

Do you or your kids love fluffernutters? If so…you’ll love these fluffernutter rollups!

Ways to Keep Kids Healthy in the Fall

Do you try to stick to natural ways to keep kids healthy in the fall? We do! We’ve tried the OTC medicines over the years, but honestly…the side effects just aren’t friendly. I hate the idea of giving these to my kiddo. Most of the time, our allergies, colds, flu viruses and bugs just take time to run their courses. Finding natural ways to ease the symptoms is better all around.

Our Moms Check In moms are talking about our favorite more natural ways to keep kids healthy in the fall. We’d love to hear your tips too. Drop us a comment below or chat with us on social media using the hashtag #MomsCheckIn and #LoveMatys!

Ways to Keep Kids Healthy in the Fall…

– Eat a well balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies. Hide them in their favorite foods, if you have to!

– Take lots of extra Vitamin C! Also, something like this immune boosting tea would be perfect!

– Keep a humidifier and/or essential oil diffuser going.

– Stay on top of their seasonal indoor/outdoor allergies.

– Get them used to always washing hands and using anti-bacterial hand gel or wipes.

– Dust and vacuum more often in the fall.

– Choose a more expensive furnace filter in the fall. The heftier ones trap more allergens.

 Ok! Here are more tips from our moms… 

 

Amanda-626x1024

“Eating well is so important. Of course you need to eat fruits and veggies, but also some spices have been shown to have awesome health benefits. A good multi-vitamin can help fill in any missing nutritional gaps. We also make sure that we are practicing good hand washing. Lots and lots of hand washing!”

“Mike, Sam and I have been battling some icky symptoms already this fall. My advice: lots of fluids and rest! I’ve also been mindful to disinfect things whenever I’m able. If you can’t always make it to a sink, a little bottle of hand sanitizer nearby is excellent.”

Jenni-Eaves1-213x300

“Staying on top of seasonal allergies is huge for us. Increasing their vitamin C intake + hiding lots of fruits and veggies in our meals for the extra vitamins that are essential to our immune system. We do have to hide them, to get the kiddo to eat them, haha! We also use natural remedies vs. most OTC cold/flu medications because honestly, the side effects are just awful with those. We encourage lots of warm and hot liquids too, especially hot tea and chicken broth.“

Maty's Natural and Organic Cough Syrup for the whole family.

Maty’s Natural and Organic Remedies + An Immune Boosting Tea for Cough, Cold, and Congestion

November 3, 2015 by Jenni 544 Comments

Disclosure: This post has been sponsored by Maty’s Healthy Products, however, all opinions on the yuckies and snotties are all my own. As well as my opinions on how incredible Maty’s products are!

 

Maty's Natural and Organic Cough Syrup for the whole family.

Fall would be complete perfection, if it wasn’t for the allergies and yuckies that come with it. It never fails. Each and every fall, the family winds up sick. Thankfully, Maty’s sent us some natural and organic products in their line to try, and they couldn’t have arrived at a better time!

The side effects that accompany most OTC cold/allergy medications are worse than the symptoms I’m already dealing with. Most of them either make me sleepy, cause brain fog and even make my blood pressure go up – making me feel worse. Sorry – but I’m not giving these types of medications to my kiddo and my husband sure can’t function at work all day taking them either.

 

matys-natural-and-organic-products-ingredient-list

I know that colds and allergies just have to run their snotty courses – but thankfully we have natural and organic options to calm the symptoms and even get a good night’s rest. Maty’s Organic Cough Syrup has 10 immune boosters in every single spoonful and can be used for kiddos as young as 1 year old. Seriously, there’s nothing in the ingredient list that you don’t KNOW or know how to pronounce! It’s gluten free, dairy free and alcohol free. The honey in the cough syrup really soothes our sore throats and helps calm down a yucky cough.

 

matys-natural-and-organic-syrup-in-tea

I put 2 teaspoons of the Maty’s Organic Cough Syrup in my hot tea at night – with a squeeze of lemon. If your kiddo is opposed to taking cough syrup from a spoon (like my kiddo is) then you can do the same for them. They don’t even have to KNOW they’re taking cough medicine! We still had a few coughs here and there…but we both slept through the night without waking up!

 

Immune Boosting tea with Lemon. Helps with cough, cold and congestion! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Honest truth — this stuff doesn’t taste like cough syrup. At all. You can taste all of the ingredients in each spoonful. It’s very good and such a bonus to sweeten my tea with. With those 10 immune boosters in each spoonful, it’s not only a healthy product for just when you’ve got a cough. It’s a great spoonful of immunity each day! For our immune boosting tea, here’s what we did…

  • Fill your favorite tea cup or mug with boiling water.
  • Add 1-2 teabags of your favorite tea. Steep for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add 1-2 teaspoons of Maty’s Organic Cough Syrup.
  • Squeeze in the juice from half of one fresh lemon.
  • Stir, and enjoy!

 

 

matys-natural-and-organic-products-vapor-rub

The Maty’s petroleum free Vapor Rub is safe for the whole family as well. Recommended for kids 2 and up. Again, the ingredient list is ALL natural and includes the soothing eucalyptus, peppermint, and wintergreen oils. It feels so good when you’re dealing with tightness and congestion, and helps make breathing easier.

I apply the vapor rub several different ways. For myself, I rub on my chest and neck. I also put a dab behind my ears to relieve pressure and then on the bottoms of my feet before bed, and put socks on. This is an old fashioned tip, that really does work! For my son, I rub it on his chest and back, and on his feet too…before bed. Sometimes, all it takes is removing the lid and taking a good long sniff! Ahhhhhhh. To breathe again!

 

matys-natural-and-organic-products-statement

I just really love and appreciate that I have natural and organic options for my family. Especially for my son. Something to help the whole family breathe better, sleep better, and feel better. Maty’s created their line of products when their daughter, Maty, was born with severe heart defects. They were dedicated to finding and creating natural ways to get healthy.

DIY spider kids halloween craft. So easy, and cute! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Creepy Crawly Spider Kids Halloween Craft

 

I just posted this spooky bat toilet paper roll craft for kids earlier today! I can’t take credit for either that one or this cute spider kids Halloween craft. Both are craft projects the kiddo brought home from school. They’re both just so sweet that I had to share them.

Halloween is this weekend, so if you’re planning a Halloween party – these would be fun to make with the kids and you probably already have everything on hand!

Supplies:

  • Mesh kitchen scouring pad (they used gold metal ones)
  • 4 black pipe cleaners

 

DIY spider kids halloween craft. So easy, and cute! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Instructions:

Super simple. Just wrap each pipe cleaner around a small section of the sponge, leaving a larger section of the sponge for the body. Twist each pipe cleaner underneath what would be the spiders neck. Make sure to leave an even amount of pipe cleaner on both sides so that the spider’s legs are even.

Once all the pipe cleaners are wrapped around the sponge spider, bend the spider legs a little so that it looks all creepy and crawly!

Spooky DIY Bat Toilet Paper Roll Craft

If you’re looking for some super duper EASY and cute Halloween ideas for the kids, you’ll love this one! I can’t take any credit at all for this one, though. The kiddo came home from school with this spooky bat toilet paper roll craft. His teacher said she found the idea in an old magazine years ago, along with this fun Spider Halloween kids craft.

Supplies:

  • Empty toilet paper roll
  • Black craft paint or marker
  • Black felt
  • Craft eyes
  • Glue
  • Scissors

 

Instructions:

 

1. Paint the toilet paper roll tube black.

 

bat-toilet-paper-roll-craft-back

2. While it’s drying, cut your felt black bat wings. You can use the photo above, of the backside of the bat, as a guide. The width of the wings (left to right) is about 7 1/2 inches. The length at the middle (the narrowest section) is 2 1/2 inches, and the widest part at the ends (point to point, top to bottom) is 5 inches.

3. After the toilet paper roll is dry, attach the felt wings with glue and let dry.

4. Last, glue the eyes on.

All done! It would be super cute to make several of these and hang them from your porch with string or to decorate at your Halloween party!!

Candy Corn Mason Jars | Fall or Halloween Craft

Nothing screams fall, like candy corn. Now, I have to admit…I’m not a huge fan of the real candy corn. Unless I pair it with peanuts. Then it kinda reminds me of a Payday candybar. Nom. However, these Candy Corn Mason Jars are just the sweetest, AND the easiest things ever to make!

They are perfect for making into a treat jar for teachers, neighbors or to serve at your Halloween or Thanksgiving party! It only takes a few supplies and a few minutes to make and the best part is, when you’re finished – you can remove the decorations and reuse the jars for something else!

Easy Spiderman Lunch Idea | Spiderman Berries and Chobani

This post brought to you by Chobani. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Sweet Pennies From Heaven.

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com Do you pack your kids lunch for school? This is a fun Spiderman themed lunch, complete with Spiderman Berries and yogurt. I seriously scan the cafeteria lunch menu that they send in little man’s backpack every month and I say to myself,

Nope.

Ha!

He won’t touch that with a ten-foot pole.

Bleck.

Eww.

Well even I wouldn’t eat THAT.

Seriously though. I’m not knockin’ the school cafeteria food. Some of it’s good eatin’ BUT little man’s a particularly picky eater, so we just pack lunch. Even then, there are days that he won’t eat some of it. I’ve learned that being a little creative in the lunch bag can really help. If your kiddos are Spiderman fans and love berries, then these Spiderman berries are for you — err, them! They’re really simple to make too!

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Spiderman Berries

These Spiderman Berries are sooooo easy! Use either raspberries or strawberries mixed in with some blueberries. Melt a little white chocolate and dollop on Spidey eyes on the fresh raspberries using a fork. Then you can use black gel food coloring to trace the eyes, using a toothpick. Let the white chocolate dry before adding the black gel. The chocolate hardens pretty fast, if your berries are cold out of the fridge.

 

 

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com Yogurt is full of protein and it pairs perfectly with berries – for breakfast, lunch or as a snack! I found these Chobani Kids® Pouches of yogurt with Spiderman on them! I love love love that these are made with REAL fruits and veggies. They don’t have anything artificial in them – no preservatives, artificial colors OR flavors at all! Chobani Kids® Pouches have less than 5% lactose, they’re gluten free and of course they have those healthy gut-friendly live active cultures and probiotics. All those healthy germy bacteria that our bellies need to work well.

 

 

An easy Spiderman lunch idea, with Spiderman Berries and yogurt! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com I worry that little man gets too much sugar in his diet though, because goodness knows the boy has a sweet tooth. He gets it honest…so do I. Chobani Kids® Pouches have 25% less sugar than other yogurts – AND 2X the protein compared to some other brands. We found them at Walmart in Strawberry, Grape and Vanilla & Chocolate Dust flavors.

Ohh, and if your kiddo isn’t a fan of Spiderman – they have them with Doc McStuffins on them too!!! Soooo stinkin’ cute – and healthy too so be on the lookout and grab some on your next grocery store trip! They also come in Chobani Kids® Tubes, and Chobani Tots® Pouches for the younger kiddos! Head over to Chobani Kids Savings to score a coupon!! Woot!

Cold and Flu Tips for Kids + #SolutiontoSnotty Twitter Party on 10/22 (Over $400 in Prizes)

Our Best Cold and Flu Tips for Kids

Allergies are already running a’muck in our house, and have been for 2 months or longer! With cooler weather, cold and flu season is creeping in, and that’s NO fun!

Our Moms Check In moms are talking all about our best tips for fighting the cold and flu and how to help make it a little easier on the whole family. We’d love to hear your tips too! Drop us a comment below or chat with us on social media using the hashtag #MomsCheckIn and #SolutiontoSnotty!

We’re also having a #SolutiontoSnotty Twitter party this Thursday night, Oct. 22nd. If you’d like to attend, the linky to RSVP is towards the bottom of this post.

Tips for fighting off cold/cough/flu…

– Eating a fairly balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies. Even if you have to hide them in their favorite foods, getting these vitamins and nutrients are important in keeping their immune systems up.

– Drink plenty of room temperature water, hot tea with honey and lemon, and hot chicken broth. Did you know that cold water and iced drinks can cause mucus to thicken. So can milk and other dairy products.

– Keep a humidifier and/or essential oil diffuser going. Turning on the furnace makes the house nice and toasty, but it also dries out the air. Put some moisture back into the air. It’s good for your sinuses.

– Take daily multi-vitamins and extra Vit. C. Flintstones, gummies, vitamin powder pouches for bottled water…anyway your kiddo will take them.

– For a croupy cough – sit in the bathroom with the shower running hot water. Breathe in the steam for 15-20 minutes.

– If your child can tolerate it, I suggest using a nasal rinse or irrigation. Whether a neti pot or a bottle with the bulb on it. If they’re too young or can’t tolerate it, a simple saline nasal spray is also great.

– Sleep with their head propped up. This helps them to breathe better and keeps post-nasal drip from causing irritation.

– Massage the face and/or apply pressure using your fingers to the sinus cavity areas. That helps move mucus and sinus pressure out of the area.

– Steer clear of dairy products. Dairy can make mucus thicker, and we don’t want that.

 Ok! Here are more tips from our moms… 

 

Amanda-626x1024

“I’m a big advocate for vitamin C! Breakfast always starts with a big glass of orange juice in our house. At the first sign of a cold we are sure to have an extra vitamin. And speaking of extra…extra hand washing is always a big plus!”

“I’m uber aware of germs this time of year as the weather starts to change. To help avoid any in our house, I make sure we’re eating healthy and drinking plenty of water to help boost our immune system. We also do a lot of hand washing. If we do get the sniffles, I love using Boogie Wipes to stay gentle on skin while tackling the snotties.”

“We struggle so much with allergies this time of year, and of course with the kids back in school – germs are everywhere. Keeping antibacterial cleaners around always help. Spraying door knobs, cabinets and refrigerator handles, and anything else that gets touched alot. We also run a humidifier to keep moisture in the air in the winter months. The kiddo HATES it when I use tissue, toilet paper or paper towels on his runny nose time and time again. They’re just too rough. Boogie Wipes are a life-saver for us!”

Haunted Pumpkin Patch Lunch Ideas | Help Your Kids Be Unstoppable This Year

October 9, 2015 by Jenni 1,096 Comments

Haunted Pumpkin Patch Lunch

We’ve been talking lately about how the lunch bags that we pack for the kids, are SO boring. The same ol’ same ol’ – day in and day out. I get in a rut with lunch myself – so I guess I’ll just keep little man in a rut too. For shame. That’s where the idea for this Haunted Pumpkin Patch lunch idea began.

Okay, okayyyy. I know it’s wayyy more cute’sy than “haunted”. It’s hard to make food look scary!

Moving along now, and forgetting that this lunch is not that scary. {eye roll}

… … ………. (<– That’s me, moving along.)

I was inspired by this post – 8 Hacks That Will Make Your Kids Think You’re Supermom. Just stepping outside the boring lunch bag here, and BOOM. Kiddo and their lunch table neighbors will think I’m supermom!

I mean, HELLO!

A ghost banana?!

A pumpkin inspired Uncrustables sandwich?!

Ta-daaaaaaa!

 

Simple and fun haunted pumpkin patch lunch idea! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

Here’s how I made it:

Let the Uncrustables Sandwich thaw a bit.

Cut black olives to create the eyes and mouth, and used a chunk of green bell pepper for the stem. Then use green bell pepper strips as the grass that the “pumpkin” is sitting in. If your kids aren’t fans of olives or green peppers, you can totally use raisins or chocolate chips – and cucumbers or any green veggie they like.

For the ghost banana, simply cut the banana in half and peel. Using the half with the pointed end, just push in 2 chocolate chips for the eyes and another for the mouth.

Then I piled in some carrots and peppers, and made a dipping ghost by pouring in a little ranch dressing. I put more chocolate chips (you could also use raisins or black olives) for the eyes and mouth of the ghost dip.

Decorate up with mallow pumpkins. You could also use fun things like candy spiders, gummy worms or anything creepy. Some of those candy eyes would be fun too! The sky is the limit when it comes to creating the cutest haunted pumpkin patch lunch! 🙂

Simple and fun haunted pumpkin patch lunch idea using Smuckers Uncrustables sandwiches! www.sweetpenniesfromheaven.com

I’m such a fan of Uncrustables! These little PB&J sandwiches are so good and are perfect for little man’s lunch bag. You just throw them in their lunch bag in the morning, and by lunchtime they’re thawed and ready to devour! They’re great for after school too, especially when the evenings are busy.

I love super convenient things like that. Hungry kids with no patience is not a good combination. Holy hungry meltdowns, Batman!

 

Some fun news about Uncrustables…

They’ve teamed up with Disney to help families be unstoppable this school year! Through this partnership, mom and dads across the country have shared tips for their on-the-go lifestyle.

Being so busy all the time, we tend to become less “unstoppable”. We just barely seem to scrape by, most days. That’s why I love to do small things, that require little effort, to make days more unstoppable for my kiddo!

Besides a fun lunch, another cute thing I love to do is add sweet lunch notes to his lunch bag, like these Disney lunch notes (<— click to download)! Just print a few pages, and keep them hidden in the kitchen and sneak one in when they’re not looking! They’re sooo sweet!

 

uncrustables-3

Uncrustables comes in a few different really awesome varieties. We really like the reduced sugar with whole wheat ones. They also have a chocolate flavored hazelnut spread Uncrustables. Shhhhhhh. I keep those hidden wayyyyy back in the back of the freezer. Just for me. Stop judging me. It’s not enough that I can’t make food look scary? Now I can’t even eat deliciousness, in hiding?!

You’re still judging me. 

Stop it!

Anyhoo – visit Smuckers Uncrustables for flavor varieties and more information! Make sure to check them out on Facebook and Twitter too!

How does your family stay unstoppable?

Box Tops Command Center

So – I just published this 5 Ways to Teach Your Kids to Be a Cheerful Giver post and in it, I talked about fun and encouraging ways to teach your kids how to give cheerfully, in their schools and communities. It’s really a valuable lesson that kids should learn early.

One of the ways I mention is collecting Box Tops on select General Mills® products! We’ve collected Box Tops for years, even before little man started school himself. We love to shop at Walmart, not only for the prices and convenience, but because of the Bonus Box Tops offers they have. When I see Bonus Box Tops, I hear “cha-ching!“…haha!!

One way that you can get your kids excited about collecting Box Tops is to set up a Box Tops for Education COMMAND Center in a designated spot. Preferably in or near the kitchen/dining room area since most of your Box Tops will come from products in the kitchen.

Here’s what you’ll need to create your own Box Tops Command Center:

Box Tops Command Center

1. Designated Bin

A bin or container to hold empty packaging with Box Tops on them. Designate this container to store product boxes and then when it’s full, let the kiddo get to work cutting out Box Tops! Having a designated container to keep them in will remind you NOT to throw that package away before clipping the Box Tops!!

2. Scissors

Keep a pair of scissors or two handy in your Box Tops Command Center so that when it’s time to clip, you won’t have to hunt down a pair of scissors!

3. A Box Tops Collection Bank

Rinse out an old spaghetti sauce jar or peanut butter jar…something with a lid. Use this to drop your Box Tops in after you’ve clipped them from the packaging. If your lid is plastic, you (or your handy dandy husband, ahem) could dremel out a slit in the lid to drop Box Tops in like a bank. Once it’s full, empty all the Box Tops into a ziploc baggie and send it to school. Then start refilling your collection bank all over again!

 

4. A Friend to Keep Them Company

Yes. If your kids are anything like mine, their attention gets diverted alot. They sometimes have trouble sticking to the task at hand. If your container or bin is super full and overflowing, clipping all those Box Tops can get tedious for the littles. Give them a break to play with their favorite DINO or game, and then challenge them to get back to work. The job’s done when the bin is empty!

 

5. A Grand Total

After all the Box Tops have been clipped (whether you do it weekly, bi-weekly or monthly), take a few minutes afterwards and count up how much money has been collected this time around. This always gains a little excitement to know that their hard work is paying off!

On your next trip to Walmart, check out your favorite products for those Bonus Box Tops offers on select General Mills® products! Even if you don’t have children in school, you can still support your local school systems by collecting and turning them in. Every little bit helps and it certainly adds up!!

 

Do you have a Box Tops for Education collection system in place at your house?

5 ways to teach kids to be a cheerful giver

5 Ways to Teach Kids to be a Cheerful Giver

5 ways to teach kids to be a cheerful giver

5 Ways to Teach Kids to be a Cheerful Giver!

There are two kinds of kids. Kids who will gladly give you their very last fruit snack…and then there are those who would rather poke their eye out than to give up that last fruit snack!

I was taught early that giving is kind, and that there are kids who are wayyyy less fortunate than I. I never really saw kids in need firsthand, as a child myself…but as an adult, I see it all the time and it’s heart breaking.

We live in a very small and rural area. Our school districts are rather small, and so they depend on grants and donations a lot in order to keep the schools up to date with computers, etc. I wanted to share a few ways that we like to give back to our community and schools, and how YOU can too! Let’s start early and with our own – to teach kids to be a cheerful giver! It’s one of the MOST important lessons they’ll ever learn in their little lives.

 

1. Fill a Bag/Box

Most schools have food drives that they work on weekly. Our school actually fills bags up to pass out to kids on Fridays so that they can have food over the weekend, if they’re in need. Sign your kids up to help in filling bags/boxes if these programs are available, and remind them to be a “cheerful” giver!

 

2. Pack Extra in Their Lunchbag

Maybe the kid that sits next to YOUR kid at the lunch table is hungry and looking for seconds. Sometimes, kids just know that other kids need more but are afraid to ask. Ask your kid if their lunch table neighbor seems hungrier than the other kids! Pack an extra banana, juice pouch, muffin, etc. and let your child be a cheerful giver a couple of times a week to their hungry friend at school.

 

3. Canned Food Drives

Yep! Watch for those fliers to arrive in your kids’ backpacks. Those cans of food that will either expire or never get eaten at your house (you know what I’m talkin’ about!) can do a world of good for someone else. You pack a bag/box of canned goods from your cabinet, and then let your child pack one too! Remind them to be cheerful!

 

4. Clothing Drive

When the clothing drive comes around, let your kids go through their closet and pick out things that they haven’t worn in awhile. Give them a certain number of items to pull from their closets to give away at the school clothing drive. Or have them use from their allowance (cheerfully) to buy hat/gloves to donate. Using their own money, gives them the sense of accomplishment in learning to be a cheerful giver.

5. Box Tops for Education

We’ve collected Box Tops for YEARS! Even before my son went to school. Did you realize that you can earn money from General Mills® through Box Tops and that for EVERY Box Top collected, $0.10 goes to buy items for your school? They add up quickly and can be used for anything the school needs. Computers, printers, anything!

Give your kids the job of cutting and collecting Box Tops to donate to their school. Fill them in on what Box Tops are and how they can benefit their very own classroom!!! Keep a tally of how much money you’ve collected each week or month! When they see that money add up, they’ll get VERY excited!

We always shop at Walmart – it’s our home away from home. We tend to always buy things that we know we can get Box Tops on. Especially when we find BONUS Box Tops!!! Always keep your eye out for those! Box Tops for Education has contributed over $525 million to participating schools since the launch of the program in 1996. Visit Box Tops to see all the participating items you can buy to help donate to your kids’ school!

Always remind them that what they’re doing is really helping others who need these things, be it clothes, food, money, or time. Giving with a cheerful heart is so much more rewarding to us and the people we give to!

How do you teach your kids to be a cheerful giver?

Our Best Back to School Tips

We’ve been back to school now for 2 full weeks. We’re on our 3rd week now! Have you already started back? I totally understand and I get it. Transitioning from summer break to getting up at 6:30am isn’t easy.

 Back to School tips from our Moms…

“Back to school can be overwhelming! Josh just started Jr. High and it means lockers, changing classes and a whole lot of school supplies. We got our schedules on back to school night, but I could tell he was still anxious. I called the school just to see if we could stop in, practice his locker combination, drop off all of his supplies and do a walk through a couple of times finding each of his class. If you have a child who seems a little anxious – just ask! Being prepared made him (and myself!) feel so much more confident on the first day of school.“

“We are finishing our final days of summer, enjoying all the time we can together. Sam is definitely excited for school to begin. We’ve talked a lot about being back at school and getting back in our regular routine. I think talking a lot before back to school helps calm nerves. Talk about their apprehensions to help calm them down plus share positive ideas about what to look forward to. We’re also starting to get in our normal bedtime routine, which I know helps his body to adjust. Cheers to a great school year ahead!“

“It’s back to school time for us too! We’ve been back for 2 weeks now and I think we’re settling in nicely. My back to school tips are starting 2 weeks before school starts to begin your routine. Bathtime, picking out clothes, going to bed early, etc. That way when school DOES start, it’s not a shock all at once. Another tip is start packing in plenty of Vitamin C before school starts because, believe me, kids are germy! We’re 2 weeks in and little man has already caught a cold bug. Pack some anti-bac wipes in their lunchbox or backpack to use before lunch too.“

Shaun the Sheep Movie Poster, in theaters Aug. 5th

Take the Family to See Shaun the Sheep Movie (In Theaters Aug. 5th!) + GIVEAWAY (Ends 8/11)

August 4, 2015 by Jenni 358 Comments

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Lionsgate. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

 

Shaun the Sheep Movie Poster, in theaters Aug. 5th

Shaun the Sheep is “Baaa” – aackk and stirring up more fun and mischief than ever! From the makers of Wallace & Gromit and Chicken Run, this “Claymation” really catches the attention of youngsters and “old”sters alike! Our family has always loved the shows and we can’t wait for the release of the Shaun the Sheep Movie which hits theaters August 5th, nationwide!! We’ll for sure be seeing it, and honestly…I’m not sure who’s more excited – the kiddo, or his daddy!

Little man is in awe of the animation because the characters look so unique in comparison to other cartoons and shows he watches. The clay like characters just come to life and bring so much fun to the screen. It’s fun to watch their adventures together and they really teach important lessons of teamwork, leadership and problem solving skills. Check out the Shaun the Sheep Movie trailer below!

 

Shaun the Sheep Movie:

Shaun and the flock decide that they want to have a fun-filled day off the farm. They wind up in the Big City and little does Shaun know, it’s going to take a lot to get the flock safely back to the greener pastures of the farm! The film is geared towards children ages 4-10 but you mommas and poppas out there will love it too! It’s an all around fun family-friendly movie, rated PG.

 

Meet Timmy, the Toddler of the Flock:

We love Shaun and the entire flock, obviously, but little man and I are in love with sweet little Timmy! He’s the toddler of the flock and he just warms your heart when you see him toting around his cuddly teddy bear. Like any toddler though, Timmy is hard to keep in line and out of trouble! He loves, adores and idolizes Shaun and it’s obvious that Shaun and the rest of the crew love Timmy!

For all Shaun the Sheep Movie clips, videos, news and info, make sure to follow along on social media on their Facebook and Twitter pages! Oh, and use the hashtag #ShauntheSheep
