Gluten Free LUNA Protein Bars For Moms on the Go

Posted at 10:48 AM • View Comments

Thank you to LUNA Protein for providing me a LUNA Protein sample pack to review. The opinions I’ve expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint.

I have four children ranging in age from eight months to eight years old.

And it seems like I am always on the go.

Like in the morning walking them to school or heading to the train to go to a TV station.

Then I’m off to an event or the grocery store. Or the library to return children’s books.

Sometimes I get to stop and see a friend at her office or its a strictly errands kind of day.

I am always somewhere doing something but more often than not, I never feel like I have time to sit down and eat before dinner.

That’s why its pretty cool to see LUNA has new protein bars on the market.

The new gluten free LUNA Protein bars are small enough to throw in whatever tote I’m carrying and are packed with enough protein to keep me going throughout the day.

And I’ll admit to needing energy because when you have four young children there is always somewhere to be.

After tasting the LUNA Protein bar, I’m happy to say that this is a tasty option to have while trekking around the city.

My favorite flavor is the cookie dough but there are other flavors to choose from — chocolate, mint chocolate chip, chocolate cherry almond and chocolate peanut butter.

* GIVEAWAY *

If you are always on the go like myself you can be one of five (5) winners to get a prize pack of the new LUNA Protein bars.

Just leave a comment below sharing the food you like to eat most while on-the-go.

Contest ends Wednesday, October 19 at 9AM EST. Five winners will be chosen at random. Prizes will be shipped directly from LUNA.

Class Trip – The Jewish Museum

Posted at 9:16 PM • View Comments

I was chosen to be one of the chaperones for Luke’s class trip to the Ezra Jack Keats exhibition at The Jewish Museum.

So off I went with Luke’s class on a yellow school bus — Luke made sure I buckled up — to see The Snowy Day and the Art of Ezra Jack Keats.

The Snowy Day was the first Ezra Jack Keats book Natalie received from my uncle so I was already familiar with Keats’ work.

Once we arrived at The Jewish Museum, we walked up a short flight of stairs to the exhibition where a security guard told me photos were not allowed (after I snapped the photo below)

Our tour guide, Michelle, talked in the Keats Reading Room about what inspired Ezra Jack Keats for his stories and illustrations. He was a Brooklyn native and usually set the storyline in his neighborhood in East New York.

She read A Letter to Amy to the class and we walked around looking at his original illustrations and photos from his neighborhood.

We also saw the collage used to create Caldecott medal winning The Snowy Day.

The kids then worked in groups to create objects from different shapes of paper. It was nice to see Luke working with two of his classmates.

And then Luke and his classmates went into the artroom and made their own collages to take back to school.

The class trip was fun but exhausting.

Anyone else feel like that after they chaperone their child’s class?

If you are in the New York area, the exhibition is open until January 29, 2012. You should take your children. I think any child from 4-8 years old would enjoy the exhibition.

And if you aren’t in the area, you should still add Ezra Jack Keats books to your child’s library.

I recommend everyone have at least one. These are the four we have - Peter’s Chair, Whistle for Willie, A Letter to Amy and The Snowy Day.

Those of you who are already a fan of Ezra Jack Keats — which books do you have? Which should we add to our collection?

Diapers.com Gear and Goodies Sale

Posted at 11:12 PM • View Comments

I can’t imagine being a parent before the Internet existed. Every time you shopped, you had to go to stores and brave the lines, hunt for parking spots and deal with crowds.

How exhausting.

That’s why I full embrace online shopping. I don’t have to test my patience standing on a line that wraps around the shoe department, don’t have to fight my way through crowds of women looking for the same dress or waste time going to a store only to find the size I’m looking for is already sold out.

Having a seven month old means there are frequent times where I find myself shopping…for him rather than myself. Sometimes my shopping cart at checkout is full of cases of diapers and wipes, other times its bibs and bedding. But no matter what I’m choosing for the baby, I am checking sites including Diapers.com for the best price (without compromising quality.)

I’m happy to share that Diapers.com is having a huge Gear and Goodies Sale! Everything from car seats to BabyBjorn (Sean’s favorite baby product company) products are on sale.

Until Wednesday, September 21st, shop for all your favorite baby and toddler essentials! You can even get 20% OFF Halloween costumes — if you have already decided what your little one will dress as this Halloween!  Have a baby or toddler? What are you waiting for!? The sale ends this Wednesday and now is the perfect time to stock up on things you need throughout the fall and winter.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Opinions are 100% my own.
