Friday Favorite & Giveaway!!!

So I was pretty content on never having to really cook again and just relying on my freezer meals for the next...well forever I guess.  Then Tuttorosso sent me a box to give their product to try.  The box included a few delicious sounding recipes but I decided to go for the pasta sauce one.  I have tried making my own sauce but it has always come out pretty bland.  So I usually just stick to one of the premade, store bought sauces.  My mom and mother-in-law both have wonderful homemade sauce recipes and going home for spaghetti is the ultimate back-home-comfort-meal for me.  I want my children to feel the same way when they grow up and leave home!

I set out with skepticism in my mind because I have never had luck before. I threw the recipe together in about 20 minutes and let it simmer on the stove for about 2 hours.  The result:

Sooooooooo delish!!

Health facts about Tuttorosso Tomatoes:

-100% natural-no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives

-The antioxident Lycopene is found naturally in tomatoes

-A fat free food

-Good source of Vitamin A

-A gluten free food  
  

   
The critics:

~My six year old said, "Mommy this is the best sauce EVER!"

~My four year old (who never wants sauce on her noodles) asked for seconds and then thirds and wanted more but we were out of noodles.

~My husband (with a surprised tone to his voice) said, "This is really good!" And went back for seconds as well.

-Me:  Big smile (and some sauce) on my face! 

Verdict:

Goodbye store bought sauces...this is my new favorite! Easy, full of flavor, loved by my whole family!  And the recipe made enough to feed my family at least two meals! I can't wait to try the other two recipes, Savory Skillet Chicken and Versatile Italian Relish! 

Next meal we used the sauce for:

Italian Subs-get sub rolls, put sauce inside and top with mozzarella 

 These got devoured!

The 4 Gifts Idea (Read)...

1. Something we want

2. Something we need

3. Something to wear

4.  Something to read

 Thank you to Sunny with a Chance of Sprinkles and Vintage Sunshine for hosting this series and making me rethink the way we do Christmas!

Back for the final week in the 4 Gifts Series with our "something to read" list:

Of all the lists, this one is the easiest...maybe too easy because my kids love books and I love buying books for them.  I definitely couldn't stick to the 1-3 limit on this category. 

 If you are looking to not spend a fortune on books, check out the Scholastic Book Orders your child(ren) bring home from school.  The books are great prices and every time your order online, you get a $5 off your next order coupon!  You might want to ask the teacher to get the order to you and not hand it to your child to bring home (that happened to me recently...oh well they got some early Christmas presents.)  Another place I have found some really cheap, cute books is Ollie's Discount Store.  Not sure if you have one in your area but you can get hardback books for as cheap as $1.99!

For Harper and Palmer (daughters ages 6 & 4):

 These are the books that they picked out but they will be getting books I have ordered from Scholastic too.

Archer (son age 13 months): 

 Archer will also be getting some books from the Scholastic book order.

 

Me:

 I know I'm so behind on the Hunger Games books but I want to read them before I see the movie.

What is something you have been wanting to read that you could ask for, for Christmas?  I would love some more suggestions on books for me. I love to read, it's finding time to do it that's the hard part!

Thursday's Tip of the Day

Linking up my tip of the day with Lindsey at Apple of Mama's Eye for:

Today my tip is how to organize headband craziness! Both of my girls wear a headband just about every day. So as you can imagine we have quite the collection.  I originally just decided a plastic shoe size box would be fine to keep them in. 

This is what it has ended up looking like: 

Pretty much a big ol mess!  When they would go to pull one headband out, it would be tangled up with another headband.  And searching for one certain headband would result in the whole box being dumped out.  I decided we needed an easier, quicker and more organized way to grab the one headband they wanted to wear.  So I took a couple of Archer's empty formula cans, some fabric (97cents/pack at Walmart), and some glue and got to work. 

This is what I came up with:

 

 Here are the results:

I put all their big pony tail holders inside the cans

This was a fun & easy project.  The girls enjoyed picking out the fabric and love their new handband organizers.  If you don't have any formula cans, you can use empty oatmeal canisters or something similar.

So What Wednesday...

Linking up with Shannon at Life After I "Dew" for:

 

This week I am saying "So What" if...

-I'm still not in that holiday spirit and haven't bought more than a couple of gifts.

-In two months, I have gone from never having a cup of coffee in my life to a morning cup and sometimes even a lunch time cup. 

-I have to have Natural Bliss coffee creamer in my coffee or I can't drink it (vanilla and caramel are delish and don't have all the junk in them like other creamers do!)

-I already opened my Christmas gift.  The hubs went out on Black Friday and brought me back an awesome tablet with attachable keyboard.  He said he didn't want to wait a month to give it to me.  I didn't even know I wanted one until I messed around with it...it's pretty awesome!

-My son is getting a shelf for his room for Christmas.  I know, not very exciting but he doesn't need anymore toys, he needs a place to put the ones he has.  Plus, he's only a year old so I'm going to get away with it while I still can :)

-I have decided to let my girls start paying for little trinkets, etc. they are always asking for when we go to the store.  They earn stickers for doing good deeds, being sweet to each other, listening, etc. and they can turn 10 stickers in for $1.  They have loved being able to go to the Dollar Tree and pick out something and pay for it themselves. It has also been easier than telling them, "No" all the time.  Now when they ask for something, I say, "Do you have your money to pay for it?"

-Even though I sell Shaklee, I decided to try Shakeology.  Had my first shake yesterday (chocolate with pb & banana) and it was pretty darn good.


-I said I would never homeschool my children but with the disappointment in the school system here and the cost of private school, that option has made it onto my list for next year.

What are you saying "So What" to this week?

Mess-eating Monster

I was recently reading posts from one of the blogs I love to follow and was smacked in the face with a brilliant idea!  She actually got her idea from another bloggin mama. I love how we moms can share and learn from each other!!! Here is the blog I am borderline obsessed with (seriously want to join her family) and here is the original idea blog post (this is a new favorite blog). 

As moms we pick things up off the floor about a million times a day and this awesome idea is going to change that around my house.  I will ask once for it to be picked up and if it's not then the item will go in my box.  No, I will not keep it forever but to get it back the perpetrator must do a chore.  

Now for my favorite part, not all the slips of paper have serious chores on them....some are just plain silly or even just a warning slip.  It's such a great way to not get caught up in the, "I told you 6 times to pick that toy up...blah blah blah!" argument with your child.  I know I need to laugh a little more and not take things so seriously with my children. I want them to remember me as a fun mom who was silly, would play and laugh with them, not a mom who constantly got onto them, punished them, and was so serious!

So I printed off my chores and cut them into slips, stuck them in an envelope and put the envelope on a plastic storage bin that I have named Mommy's Mess-eating Monster.

 Here are the chores I put in my envelope.  Feel free to copy and paste and then change some around to suit your household!

Friday Favorite...

I love putting a little love in my daughter's lunch box to let her know I'm thinking about her during the day. I came across a website called Say Please that has the most adorable little notes.  On the front there is a short note and on the back there is a fun little fact for you child to learn and share with their buddies over lunch. Even though my daughter is only in kindergarten and learning how to read, I put them in there and challenge her to sound out the words she doesn't know.  And even if your child doesn't pack a lunch, you can stick the note in a backpack or binder. 

I ordered a set, which came with 8 volumes and 12 cards in each volume.

 Here is an example of one I recently put in my daughter's lunchbox:

Do your Black Friday shopping online and check out Say Please today and you can get 60% your order. You can also find them on Facebook at Lunchbox Love.
**If you go to the site and click Lunchbox Love Printables and fill out the name and email form, they will send you a 10% off coupon just for checking out the site :)

The 4 Gifts Idea (Wear)...

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

1. Something we want

2. Something we need

3. Something to wear

4.  Something to read

Back for Week 3 in the 4 Gifts Series with our "something to wear" list:

Harper & Palmer (daughters, ages 6 & 4): 
I racked my brain and asked the girls some things they might want for Christmas that they could wear.  The only things we could come up with were slippers and Christmas pjs.  They have more clothes than should be legal and shoes too.  And they have enough coats, hair accessories, jewelery, dress up outfits and pockets books for a class full of girls. They have grandmas that spoil them rotten as well as friends and cousins that pass down their clothes. So two things in this category is all they are getting.

#1:  Slippers and they want doggie ones 

#2: Christmas pjs (these will be opened on Christmas Eve so they can wear them)

Archer (son, age 1):

#1:  Some soft shoes.  He is very slowly trying to walk and wants to do it when we are out and about but when I put hard soled shoes on him, he acts like they are too heavy and pulls them off.  He has a couple of pairs of Robeez but has almost outgrown them so some little shoes like these would be perfect for a new walker!

#2:  Fleece sleep sack.  With winter coming, his cotton sleep sacks aren't going to be sufficient enough to keep the little guy warm so a couple of fleece sacks should get us through those cold nights.

#3:  Christmas pjs so he can have his festive jammies on to open up presents in Christmas morning.

Me:

#1:  I love all the trendy, cute scarves everyone is wearing and I'm sad to say that I'm not the proud owner of any.  So I would love a scarf or two to keep me warm and looking cute this holiday season. :)

#2:  I also am loving all the knee length boots I see everyone wearing and I want some too.  I will take a pair in black and a pair in brown...thanks!

#3:  Clothes-some essential pieces that I can make several outfits out of.  I can not tell you the last time I went clothes shopping. I am still wearing the same stuff I have worn for years and it's worn out and well I'm just ready for a change. 

What are some things you can wear that you want for Christmas??

So What Wednesday...

This week I am saying "So What" if... 
 

~As I am typing this (Tues. am), we still don't know what our Thanksgiving plans are.

~I still haven't started my Christmas shopping...heck, I haven't even made my shopping lists yet.

~I have decided I am one of those people who can only handle one holiday at a time.  I can't get in the Christmas decorating, getting a tree, listening to Christmas music kind of spirit until Thanksgiving is over.

~My husband and I were always those crazies who got up to go shopping at 2am on Black Friday but since we have had kids, I haven't gone...I kinda miss it. 

~I think I'll do most of my shopping online again this year.  With three kids and always having at least one of them with me, it's a little hard to get to the stores for Santa shopping.

~I am praying that my kindergartner doesn't come home from school saying that someone told her there was no Santa.  I want my kids to believe in the magic of Christmas as long as possible...once it's gone, it's never quite the same. 

~Before we had kids, I only drank girlie, fruity drinks-hated beer.  After our second child, I started liking the taste of beer. Now that we have had three kids, I love beer and prefer it over "girlie drinks" and wine. Good thing we are done having kids or I might end up drinking the "hard stuff." haha

Happy Thanksgiving from the Smart family!!!

Thankful Tuesday

I have loved seeing all the versions of Thankful Trees  everyone has been posting about and I love the idea even more.  So I decided instead of just talking about what we are thankful for, we would join in the fun and make our own family Thankful Tree. 

Here are Harper and Palmer putting leaves on our tree.  I think they were as excited about me letting them sit on the counter as they were about doing the tree. haha  As they hung a leaf, they said one thing they were thankful for.  My husband and I participated too. After putting on all the leaves, the girls said they had more things they wanted to say so they took the leaves off and did it again...a few times.

Proud of their tree!

We are limited on where we can put the tree because of a certain little man around here that likes to destroy anything he can get his hands on. The girls decided they wanted anyone who came over to see it so we put it up on the counter near the front door.

It cost me $0 to make this....we had the empty pot, the girls collected rocks and the tree limb outside, the stickers and ribbon were in my scrapbook stuff and we had the leaves already.  It doesn't have to be super fancy, beautiful or takes tons of time to make...getting your kids involved in saying thanks is what really counts!

What are you thankful for this holiday season?

Friday Favorite

One of my favorite things to do this time of year is participate in the putting together of Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. And in honor of National Collection Week (Nov-12-19) this is my Friday Favorite.  

This is one of my favorite things because it is something we enjoy doing with our children and such a wonderful learning experience for them.  Not only do they learn about giving and being thankful and grateful but they LOVE going to the store and picking out little goodies to send to a boy or girl their age.  Back home, our church participated in this but since we moved I had to hunt for a new drop off location. To find a OCC shoebox drop off location near you, look here.  

Last year we got to track our shoeboxes and find out what county they were sent to. The girls thought that was super neat and what a good lesson on geography and how mail gets to it's destination that led to!

If you haven't filled a shoebox yet, there is still time! But don't fret, even if you don't think you can get yours done before the National Collection Week is over, Samaritan's Purse has a way to build a box online. 

Here are some ideas of what your shoebox(es) can include:

Make sure you include $7 in the shoebox to pay for shipping costs and put a label on top so the box will be given to a boy/girl in the correct age group. Click here to download the informational sheet and labels.

Sending such simple gifts to a needy child can make all the difference in the world. 

 You can change a life for only a few dollars!

I strongly encourage you to take part in this amazing and wonderful operation! To learn more, please visit http://www.samaritanspurse.org

What is your favorite way to give back during the holidays? Do you participate in OCC? I would love to hear from you!

The 4 Gifts Idea (Need)...

We are so blessed because it was hard to think of what things we really needed.  But after some thought this is what we came up with...

Harper and Palmer (daughters-ages 6 & 4)

#1-A new humidifier. They usually get a cold or two during the winter months and we always keep a humidifier in their room when that happens.  Unfortunately, the one we were using was recently dropped and broken into many pieces.

#2-I don't get the girls hair cut often but by Christmas time they will definitely be in need of a trim and shape up.  There is a place that caters to children's haircuts called Snip-Its. The girls love to go there but seeing as it's a little more than I want to pay for a haircut, it's not often they get to go. They would love to get a gift card to this place.

#3-Some workbooks for enrichment. They love doing these and we are in need of some new ones!

Archer (son-age 12 months)

#1-My son has been using his sister's old pink blanket on his bed. I think it's about time to get him a more boyish one.

#2-Diapers-can't have enough of those!

#3-Wipes (I love making homemade wipes but sometimes it's just easier to grab a pack and go.)


Me Ok so I decided to include myself in this one :)

 #1-I know this sounds cliche but I NEED to spend time with my family.  Last year was just plain crazy...we moved on Thanksgiving day (with a 1 month old) and Christmas was lonely. I was having a super difficult time with my newborn but didn't want my daughters to miss out on Christmas with family, so my husband and girls drove 3.5 hrs away to spend Christmas Eve with his family. So, yes this year, I need my family! And as I was looking for a family picture, I also realized we need somemore of those...this one is the only one I could find of all 5 of us!

#2-I always need a calendar for Christmas and I love this Mom's Calendar.  I write down everything, am a list maker, and just love to be organized so this is something I definitely need.

#3-Now that I have gotten into freezer cooking and making healthier recipes for my family, I have all kinds of recipes in about three different places...not ok with me. Like I said, I need to be organzied so a place to store all my recipes would be great! 

 What do you need for Christmas?  Was is as hard for you as it was for me to think of things you actually need instead of just want?

Thursday's Tip of the Day...

Handheld Hide-n-Seek:  great activity for the kids and such an easy and fun thing to take in the car, waiting at the doctor or dentist's office, to a restaurant, all kinds of places!
 
One day I decided to give my kids a mission.  I handed them each a clear plastic water bottle and told them to go around the house and find at least 8 things that would fit inside.  They took off and came back about 10 minutes later with their "treasures." We dumped each child's items out and I let them tell me what they found.  I wrote each thing down on an index card.  After both girls had their lists, I let them pour (with my help) dry rice into their bottles...all the way to the top.  Then I glued the tops on and attached their lists on with a rubberband.  They were so excited that they made a toy/game.  Now we use them in the car, waiting at the drs office, at the dinner table while Mommy gets their plates ready, anywhere where they need to sit still for a little while. 

So What Wednesday...

 Time for Wednesday's Link up:

Today I'm saying "So what if..."

• I still think my husband is super hot even though we have been together for almost 12 years :) Something about watching him with our kids makes him more attractive than ever!

• My daughter didn't feel well Monday night so I let her stay home Tuesday even though she said she felt better and could go to school.  It was her first sick day of the year, so I didn't feel bad about it for one minute!

• I am so freaking out about having a Shaklee table at my daughter's school this Friday for a holiday extravanga. It's my first event...ahhh!

• I have not even started making my lists for Christmas shopping much less started the actual gift buying.

• My hubs and I haven't decided what we are doing for Thanksgiving yet. If it weren't for the kids, I think we would just stay home and eat some K&W Cafeteria Thanksgiving dinner meals. This is the first time since we've had kids that we don't live near either of our families.  Last year doesn't count because we moved on Thanksgiving.

•  I am not a fan of winter! Fall I like but winter can get lost! Cold temps, wearing coats, being cold, having to get coats on and off the kids (so it takes twice as long to run errands), being stuck in the house because it's too cold to go out and play, cold and flu season, did I mention that I don't like the cold!?

• I am also not a fan of the time change! Why do we still do this? I mean really all it means is it gets dark at like 4:30 now...depressing! And our electricity bill goes up because we have to turn lights on earlier. I swear I remember hearing (a few years ago) that we weren't going to do this anymore after 2013...anyone know what the deal is???

What are you saying "So What" to this week?
