This past friday night we had an opportunity to spend some quality time together as a family. We were all home for once, no kiddos were gone and we had a blast. For our dinner we had delicious Tyson Chicken Nuggets, Ore-Ida Golden Crinkle Fries, and of course the dip of choice in our home is Heinz Ketchup. Tyson Chicken is always a big hit at our house, and who doesn’t like french fries, so I knew this meal would be a real crowd pleaser. After enjoying our tasty supper, we sat down and decided to play a new game I found at Walmart called Scrabble Slam by Hasbro.
I love that Hasbro offers so many different games for Family Game Night, not only traditional board games, but also games to play on the Wii that involve the whole family. Since we have a couple of youngsters who are just starting to become little reader’s, I figured the Scrabble Slam game would be not only a fun game, but also a learning game. I was exactly right, we all had fun playing and later some of the children played together without Mom and Dad helping. After awhile it was still light outside and we had an impromptu game of basketball in the front yard. What an awesome family night!

I’ve started back to work over the past couple of weeks and realized quickly that I needed to come up with a lunch plan. After a few days of expensive and unhealthy fast food lunches, I was ready to come up with a new option. We have a break room at work and so I had no excuse to not bring something from home. After I saw that Sam’s Club offers great prices on frozen foods, I decided to check them out for myself. I found a six pack of Asian inspired Lean Cuisine meals for less than $12, which in my opinion is an excellent price for a filling and healthy meal.
After heading to Sam’s I found the Lean Cuisine meals and happily purchased them for work. I also found some other favorites for my family such as Digiorno pizza among other delicious favorites. The Lean Cuisine Meals have been an excellent option to help with my finances as well as my health. Instead of indulging in 500 or more empty fast food calories for lunch, I’ve been eating around 300 lean calories and fulling satisfied as well. I have also found that adding a fresh spinach salad with a pinch of shredded cheese is the perfect accompaniment to my Lean Cuisine lunch. One day I ate crunchy baby carrots along with my Asian Lean Cuisine meal and loved the distinctive flavors that the lunch provided.
I have also been adding fruit and veggie choices daily to my diet to help enrich my lifestyle. My husband and I love to make our own stir fry by adding some fresh broccoli, onion and sliced squash to a hot skillet sprayed with cooking spray, and with a touch of seasoning salt. This is a great side to any meal, and especially goes quite well with the Lean Cuisine Meals. I sometimes get stuck in a rut of carbs and sugar which ends up leaving me feeling tired and depressed at the end of the day. I know that I am now on the right track to turn those bad habits around.

Football is a big part our lives in my household. My husband is a die-hard football fan and played throughout high school and went to college on a football scholarship. So, of course he loves to watch his favorite sport, whether college or NFL, he is basically glued to the games throughout the fall. My husband has also been playing on a semi-pro football team for the past four years or so. The kids and I faithfully go cheer on hubby/Daddy throughout the season and really look forward to watching the games.
Not only are we super football fans, but we are involved in a fantasy football league, which is way more fun than I realized it would be. Next weekend we have a draft party with our league, and I can’t wait. That brings me to the perfect snack to eat while watching the game. SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis have got the right idea when it comes to delicious game day food. These cute limited edition bite-sized chocolate candies are individually wrapped and each proudly display a NFL team logo. So each and every NFL fan can enjoy these SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis while appreciating the allegiance to their own team. Bagged candy makes for a simple and delicious snack during any game, so why not try #SnickersMini. Walmart has these special SNICKERS® Brand NFL Minis available on a special display so they are easy to find.

What’s better than shopping from the comfort of your own home? Especially when that shopping is for back to school clothing. My children already started back to school last week and have been getting into the swing of our school schedule. But the favorite part of back to school time for my seven year old daughter is shopping. We recently ordered her a cute new outfit from Cookie’s Kids, and we actually had a hard time picking out just one outfit, there were so many trendy tops and shorts to choose from.
Before we started shopping, I set a few ground rules for my daughter to think about a fun, yet practical outfit for back to school. We decided that the outfit would need to be casual and comfortable for school. So we set out searching the Cookie’s Kids site and found that it was a difficult decision to narrow down our choices. But thankfully my daughter is extremely independent and she picked the perfect first day of school top and shorts. She chose a cute little Dollhouse Lanai City Tank top and some white Rocawear Capri Jeans. My daughter looks like a little rock star in her new outfit and loves it! Here’s my polyvore set of the outfit.
Here is a little more information about #CookiesKids to help understand why this company is so successful and provides such great brands at affordable prices:
In 1972, a young man named Cookie and his brother Marvin went into business together. They rented a 1600 square foot store in Jamaica, Queens, fixed it up, bought inventory and Summer and Fall, and opened a day after Thanksgiving with a full stock of holiday toys. The toys were a success and they put the extra money toward buying children’s clothing for the next season. When that did well, they bought more clothing. The business was on it’s way.
As the brothers Cookie, Marvin and Sonny, who had come in as a third partner in the business, began to open new stores in new locations, inventory expanded. Besides the latest fashions, our customers wanted shoes, toys, backpacks and accessories and we were prepared to deliver.
By the late 1990’s there were six superstores throughout the NYC area, and though they previously had different names, by that time they were all named Cookie’s Kids. Also in the late ’90s came an important addition to Cookie’s Kids’ inventory: school uniforms. It was the steady success in uniform sales that paved the way for founding CookiesKids.com in 2007, which originally sold uniforms and soon after the entire Cookie’s Kids Inventory.
