We’re soaking up every last second of summer before the kids go back to school. This weekend we crossed off one item on our bucket list – a family date night for frozen yogurt! As an added bonus, we snapped an instagram picture so we could enter the #OREOSummerSweepstakes!

It was our first time trying Just the Creme and Just the Cookie frozen yogurt – and it did not disappoint! Our love of OREO cookies goes back generations. Oreo cookies are my Dad’s favorite treat – he gets them for every Father’s Day, birthday, and Christmas! So you better believe we swirled Just the Creme and Just the Cookie together to make a delicious frozen yogurt Oreo Cookie. For good measure we sprinkled more OREO cookie pieces on top.

Now for the fun part, you have two chances to win today! First, you can enter to win the #OREOSummerSweepstakes by sharing a picture of yourself enjoying an OREO treat at any restaurant. It can be a beverage, ice cream cake – you name it! Be sure to use the hashtag and tag it with @OREO. By doing this you will have a chance to win your choice of one of 7 Wonderfilled Adventures in the OREO Summer of Wonder promotion. Adventure choices include Grand Canyon Tour, New York City Landmarks, Rocky Mountain Ski Trip, California Redwood Tour, Iconic Food Festival, Cruise to Alaska, or Las Vegas Getaway.

The next chance to win is to guess where my family is enjoying our OREO frozen yogurt treats! Enter in the widget below so you can have a chance to win a $25 VISA gift card – think of the OREO treats you can buy with that!

The Quinoa Chips from Simply 7 Snacks did not disappoint! They made an appearance at our Sunday family dinner with extended family and disappeared quickly – especially the barbeque chips! Since that night my four-year-old son has begged me to buy more of his favorite chips. Quite a compliment coming from my somewhat selective little eater. He even went so far as to save the bag and give it to me so that I knew what kind to get. That little man, who is now the biggest fan of barbeque quinoa chips, is in the middle of the picture below.

Those three little people are so important to me and as a mom I want to know what what I am giving them is healthy. We definitely love our sweets, too, but I feel so much better knowing what is going into their tummies. What I love about the Simply 7 Quinoa Chips is that they are:

Gluten Free Certified
Non-GMO Project Verified  
No Trans Fat
No Artificial Colors or Flavors
No Preservatives
Vegetarian
Vegan
Kosher

All the fun and crunchiness of chips without the preservatives! Plus I love that they are getting more quinoa into their diet. We are adding these chips to our summer staples for all of our barbeques and family gatherings. The quinoa chips come in all my favorite flavors – barbeque, sea salt, cheddar, and sour cream with onion.

Be sure to check Simply 7 Snacks out at their web-site and social media sites!

Question time!

How do you get your boost?

What wakes you up and gets you going in the morning?

How do you recharge?

If you have five minutes of me-time, how do you spend it?

As a mom, I know how crazy life gets with car pool, piano practices, and reading charts. I love my littles to pieces, but I also realize how important it is find ways to boost my mood and subsequently – my family’s moods! You know how the saying goes, “if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy!”

This week I tried out a fabulous new boost! (Hint – it is in the picture above!) Purex sent me the brand new Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash to try out with my family. It was love at first smell! My shower time is one of the few remaining me-times left in my day (and I still see little fingers peeking under the door sometimes!) so I look for a body wash with a to-die for smell. Something that will wake me up and give me that “ahhhh…” moment. You know what I mean!

Confession time – I may have used double the body wash that I normally do during my last shower because I am so in love with the mango/kiwi scent. I wish that this screen was a scratch and sniff so you could smell it too – promise me you’ll take a quick sniff of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash next time you are at the store!

Another of my favorite features of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash is the bubbles! Using just a small amount (the first time!) produced dozens of delightful little bubbles and I loved how the lotion-infused wash felt on my skin. What’s not to love about treating your skin to Vitamin B and fruit juices? Your healthy skin will thank you for it! (And maybe your husband, too, because your skin feels super soft after using this body wash!)

After an hour of calorie-burning Zumba and a morning of playing with my babies, a shower with Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash was the perfect boost for my day! The scent woke me up and the moisturizing lotion made my skin silky soft for the rest of my day. I’ll let you in on a secret, six hours later and I am still loving how soft my skin feels!

Now for the fun part, Purex wants me to share the love with all my readers! I am giving away a much-needed boost to a lucky reader! One reader will receive two coupons for free Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash + a coupon for Dial For Men Power Scrub Body Wash. Three bottles of body wash = at least a month of boosts!

Enter on the rafflecopter below!

The Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.

As a mom I am always on the lookout for simple recipes that I know my kids/husband will love. One of our favorites is oh so easy peasy and completely customizeable to what is in your pantry. Drum roll please … Baked Spaghetti featuring Newman’s Own Marinara Sauce!

Spaghetti on its own is a hit, but when I have the ingredients on hand I like to spice it up a bit. Here’s what we like to do:

Ingredients: 

Spaghetti Noodles

Newman’s Own Marinara Sauce

Sauteed Veggies – whatever you have on hand! Tonight I used kale and onion. Other nights I have tossed in grated carrot, zucchini, peppers, spinach, whatever you love at your house

Meat – sometimes we go meatless, but we had lean organic ground beef in the freezer for tonight’s meal. Other yummy options are sausage, ground turkey, or shredded chicken

Cheese – again, feel free to go cheeseless, but I’ve got a house of cheese lovers! We love Parmesan, but we have also used Mozzarella

Optional:

2 cups Cottage Cheese

2 eggs

Directions:

Cook your spaghetti noodles according to the package directions. Cook ground beef. Saute veggies. Once everything is prepared, I mix the noodles, ground beef, veggies, cheese, cottage cheese, and eggs, all together in a 9×13 pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes at 325. How simple is that?

Baked Spaghetti is one of our staples and one of my favorite ways to make sure my kiddos are getting enough veggies. Newman’s Own Mariana sauce is the perfect starting place for my recipe and I love how many different variations we have been able to make with it.

One of the reasons I like to buy Newman’s Own is that I know that I am also supporting a charity with my purchase – the Newman’s Own Foundation. Another company that supports the Newman’s Own Foundation is Newman’s Own Organics. Newman’s Own Organics was started with Paul Newman’s blessing and a loan from Newman’s Own. They have a yummy new snack line that some of my blogger friends with The Pitch List have been reviewing.

Newman’s Own Organics Snacks and Sweets

Munching on Newman’s Own Organics by Sweet Cheeks and Savings

Newman’s Own Organics and the Magic Cranberries by Giveaway Overload (check out if you have picky eaters!)

These lovely ladies and I have teamed up to give one lucky reader over $150 in Newman’s Own Organics sweets and snacks! Oh so yummy!

Newman’s Own® Organics’ products meet all the requirements of the USDA’s National Organic Program. Ingredients have been grown on farms that have not used artificial fertilizers or pesticides for three years or more. The farms and processors have also met the USDA’s organic standards. The products are sold nationwide in a number of mainstream supermarkets, in stores featuring natural and health foods, as well as on a number of websites.

This pretty little package arrived in the mail for me over the holiday season. Today I tried my first treatment with the LED Kit for teeth whitening from Smile Brilliant. As a blogger attending events, I would love to have a pearly-white smile so I jumped at the chance to try out this highly-rated teeth whitening kit.

• My LED Kit came with:
• High Intensity LED Accelerator Light – Accelerates the tooth whitening process
• Teeth Whitening Gel Pen – Easy to use 4 ml whitening pen with a brush on applicator containing the 22 percent professional strength whitening gel.
• Lip & Cheek Protector – Upper and lower protective mouth trays to prevent gel mess
• Detailed Instructional Brochure – Picture and instruction guide to using the LED teeth whitening kit effectively.
• 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee!

The brochure was very detailed and easy to follow. With some clicks of the whitening pen, I was on  my way to saying hello to whiter and brighter teeth! The gel smoothed easily over my teeth and I was able to get the lip and cheek protectors easily into place. The high intensity LED accelerator light fit comfortably in my mouth. Now came the fun part, watching my favorite BBC shows while the teeth whitening magic happened!

I have sensitive teeth so I only left the gel on for 25 minutes. Normal sessions can last from 20 minutes to 3 hours depending on the level of your teeth sensitivity. My teeth felt fine afterward so next time I am going to try a little longer. One teeth whitening pen has 7 applications so I plan on gradually increasing the amount of time. I noticed that my teeth were slightly whiter after just one application – nice! Can’t wait to try more applications.

Smile Brilliant competitively prices their LED teeth whitening system so it is affordable to those on a budget. I appreciated their live support on their web-site. Instant answers to your questions – that’s great service.

One of my lucky readers is going to one a LED teeth whitening system of their own! Just enter in the widget below!

It has been all things Disney in the Parker/Trost households as we get ready for our 2014 Walt Disney World trip. To help us prepare, each family member has been assigned a secret service agent. Every month we give our secret service person Disney-related tasks and rewards. The creativity in our family has been amazing – just you wait for the fun blog posts to come about the secret service agents!

With any activity/vacation I do with my children, I like to make sure that it is fun AND educational at the same time. We’re learning north/south/east/west through treasure hunts with Captain Hook and Schmee, practicing reading and writing with character-themed print outs from DisneyJunior.com, you get the picture!

This month, the little girl who I serve is going to have fun with Doc McStuffins. Side note – how much do I love Doc McStuffins! So appreciative that my daughter watches cartoons where the girls are imaginative and smart to boot. Lucky for me Disney Junior has an entire section of their site dedicated to Doc McStuffins – from printables, to Halloween videos, to games. I am e-mailing my secret service person a link to the Halloween activities as well as giving her this cute stethoscope with an activity pack I picked up at Wal-mart for .97 cents.

If you have a daughter or son who loves Doc McStuffins be sure to check it out!

Now my lovely readers, you are in luck because I am teaming up with two other fabulous bloggers to give away the perfect Christmas present for your little Doc McStuffins fan – the Doc McStuffins Get Better Check Up Center.

I am so excited to be partnering with A Modern Boutique for this week’s giveaway! Who needs a little extra glitz and glamour in their life? I sure do! When I unwrapped the beautiful Stella Crystal Necklace, I knew that it would be the perfect accent piece for my event that night. I had to pry it out of my daughter’s hands to put it on for the evening. I love how a necklace like the Stella can give your outfit that little something extra that will get you noticed. The Stella was definitely a conversation topic that night and I received several compliments on it.

The best feature of the Stella necklace is the sweet girl it is named after. Stella lives in Zambia, Africa.  A Modern Boutique is a fashion accessory online boutique that supports community organizations working to improve the lives of women and children. Many of the necklaces are named after a child in need and a portion of each sale is donated to Mothers Without Borders.  This organization serves orphaned children around the world. As you scroll through A Modern Boutique’s facebook page, it is touching to see many of the children.

I’ve been following Mothers Without Borders since I made my first donation to them while I was in college. It was my dream to travel and work with orphanages, and someday I still will! Until then, I am happy that I can support charity organizations in other ways. A Modern Boutique’s jewelry is perfectly-priced for Christmas shopping and supporting such a wonderful cause is an added bonus!

At the start of October, A Modern Boutique launched their Tickle Me Pink collection exclusively for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Each necklace in the new collection is name after a woman touched by breast cancer. During the entire month, A Modern Boutique is featuring inspirational stories of those touched by breast cancer on their facebook page. Be sure to read the amazing stories!

A Modern Boutique has generously given me the fabulous Caleta necklace to give to one lucky reader! Love the pops of turquoise and coral. Enter in the Rafflecopter below:

What my six year old hopes to be when she grows up is constantly evolving. One day Lily wants to work with horses, the next she is definitely going to be on TV, and the next she is going to be a doctor. How does one encourage such a curious child? Take her to Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum where she can spend an hour on the farm, practice being a TV anchor, and then run to the patio and become a doctor at the brand new Saving Lives exhibit, sponsored by Intermountain Healthcare.

Our family spent Saturday morning previewing the brand new exhibit that is the first of its kind! My children have always been fascinated by the Life Flight helicopter and they were so excited to see the child-sized Primary Children’s emergency department. The hands-on exhibit allows children to coordinate a Life Flight Launch in the Command Center, transport patients from the helicopter to Primary Children’s emergency department, and then join the surgical team to perform one of three surgeries via iPad apps.

Lily especially loved dressing up in doctor’s scrubs and taking x-rays of a patient. My two year old spent most of his time sitting at the front desk taking phone calls and pushing light-up buttons – doing his part to direct patients in the emergency department. Like any four-year-old boy, Cortland was on cloud nine pretending to fly the helicopter. As a mom, I loved how realistic it was and that my children could role play and become familiar with a hospital environment.

After checking out the new exhibit, we spent two more hours in the rest of the museum, including taking an art class at the new Studio 444. Lily and Cortland learned about screen printing and created their own screen-printed Life Flight helicopter on canvas. In my opinion, the classes offered at Discovery Gateway are a hidden gem and we always sign up for one at the front desk when we arrive. The classes are for children ages 18 months – 8 months and they are a great way to enrich your experience at the museum!

Discovery Gateway is located in the Gateway Mall at  444 West 100 South in downtown Salt Lake.
