Want to Avoid Mosquitoes During Family Trips? Try the MosQUITO Bands!

Originally, I am from East Texas and my childhood was focused on outdoor play! We created mudpies, I created playhouses, and most memorable of all - I helped my mother in the garden!

I wanted to provide our preschooler with the same experience, but the mosquitos continue to push us BACK inside of the house! Last year did not cause the mosquitoes to hibernate and this caused DOUBLE the trouble this year! 

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

When we received the MosQUITO product, I had to JUMP at the opportunity to organize and mulch the brush in the back yard. This band fit snugly around my wrist and I also placed another Mosquito band around the ankle of my preschooler! 

We did not have ANY bites when we entered the house after mulching A LOT of branches and cleaning the summer toys! This was exciting news for me and we will definitely include the MosQUITO (#selpHbalance) natural insect repellent bands in our winter AND summer activities!

By the way, these will be GREAT travel accessories as well! Especially when your traveling on a cruise or airplane and your are limited to a certain liquids. :) 

Search for the MosQUITO bands on Amazon (http://amzn.to/2etGtqO) and on Twitter - #selpHbalance! Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Begin Your After School Conversations with Plum Mash-Ups! & A Back to School Giveaway!

We hope you are having a great week!

As we begin our journey to the beginning of the fall semester of school, I worry about key items that I need to have in my car at the end of each day to guide my conversation with my little one as we commute home.

Our commute usually includes pretzels or chips, but I found a new healthier addition to our preschool commute conversations. Our new conversation staple will include apple sauce, fruits, and vegetables! Sounds too good to be true? All of these can be accomplished with Plum Mashups!

We received four Organic Plum Mash-ups to review from BzzAgent! include the following flavors: Beetbox Berry, Berry, Blueberry Blitz, and Carroty Chop!

Beetbox Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Berry - This flavor only has 45 calories, 100 mg of potassium, 12 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Blueberry Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

Carroty Chop - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 115 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!

We loved Plum foods when my little one transitioned to food as a baby and we've been incorporating new Plum foods for the past few years as snack foods! Now, these are amazing! Our favorite one as the Blue Berry Blitz flavor!

This week, I will mail two of these coupons and a back to school pack to TWO READERS! Write a comment in the box below with the flavor that you are most interested in trying for a back to school conversation. This contest ends on Friday, August 19th at midnight. 

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

20 Ways to Enjoy the Gaylord Texan During #Summerfest! #Marriott

We had such a great time at the Gaylord Texan's Summerfest in June that I had to feature this amazing experience again!

Our Summer Bucket List - 20 Items to Accomplish in Summer 2013!

After much thought, here are our summer bucket list! A few of the "absolutely" items were accomplished, but we can still add to the list!

Summer Bucket List (Item 2) - Creating and Maintaining a Vegetable Garden

One item that is on our summer bucket list is for our toddler to create and maintain a raised bed garden. Our little one LOVES the dirt and she loves to kneel down to look at each individual plant in our garden.

Summer Bucket List (Item 1) - Visit the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio, TX

One of my favorite resorts in Texas in the JW Marriott Hill Country resort in San Antonio, TX. I was so excited when I heard that the resort would open in Texas and I was more excited when I knew about the children's activities that would be offered at the resort!
