A planter’s box for Mother’s Day. Kids can build a planter box and add plants for a touch of color. We did a similar project for my mother for her birthday, but used terracotta planters.

Kraft MilkBite Bars Review and Coupon

April 15, 2012 By Anne 18 Comments

Have you tried these things? They are delicious!!

What am I talking about? Milkbite Bars from Kraft. I believe they are only being sold at Publix, so I am so sorry if you do not have one near by. These things are so darned good!

Kraft Milkbite Bars are a new and unique as they are made with real milk and calcium, providing the same calcium as an 8 oz. glass of milk in one granola bar. A cool alternative to other granola bars.

We received the Strawberry and the Chocolate to review. The Chocolate was the ultimate favorite. I have seen additional flavors at the store, Peanut Butter sounds yummy too!

These came just in time for the summer. You need to keep these in the refrigerator so these will be nice and cold when you or the kids come in from outside. What a great treat and it’s healthy too! Be careful , you will eat them too!

Milkbites are in the refrigerated section near the ready to eat JELL-O, not in the regular granola bar aisle.

Find out more and get a coupon at Cooking with Kraft . Hurry these coupons go quick!

I received 2 boxes to review. Opinions are my own.

MyJobChart.com

April 11, 2012 By Anne 8 Comments

MyJobChart.com, an online chore chart was designed to teach young people the concept of responsibility, work ethic and the value of money by giving them a way to earn points for completing their chores.

The free site has always offered a way for young users to ‘spend’ their points on rewards they want, ‘share’ what they earn with a chosen charity, or to ‘save’ for the future.”

Kids are able to experience the tremendous rewards of earning money for themselves and then of accumulating that money and saving for the future. As they do this they will get a $20 bonus into each child’s account just for signing up for a kids savings account.

My Job Chart is easy of use and the high-tech approach have made MyJobChart.com a hit with more than 140,000 kids in just over a year since its inception with kids completing over 9.4 Million chores using the site!
