These are just a few things that I have come across that I found helpful and had to pass along!

1. Kill bacteria on the inside of unfinished wooden toys by putting them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

2. Wooden toys can be wiped with a damp sponge but dry them immediately to avoid damage. Don’t soak them!

3. Clearing out clutter is a non-toxic way to prevent pest, dust mite & mold problems.

4. Bath toys are a breeding ground for bacteria & mold, especially those with holes in the bottom! (I HATE THESE!) Once a week throw bath toys in the dishwasher or submerge them for a few minutes in a solution of 1 part vinegar to 3 parts hot water.

5. To reduce mosquito breeding around your house, plant scented geraniums, lemon thyme, marigold, tansy, citrosa plants, sweet basil and/or sassafras. We have bad mosquitos in our yard so this is a great tip!

6. Relieve the itch from those pesky bug bites with an onion! Who knew that the sulfur in onions neutralizes the chemicals that cause the itch. Slice a yellow onion in half and rub one of the cut sides on the bite. The itching should stop immediately.

Did you know that 9 out of 10 kids lack enough fiber in their diets? What do you do to fix that and still make it fun and appealing to them?

My boys love cereal. Don’t most kids? Kellogg Company knows how tough of a time Moms have finding ways to increase their child’s intake of fiber and they came up with a great solution. They have added a boost of fiber to some of their most popular kids’ cereals. They started with two kids’ favorites: Apple Jacks and Froot Loops cereals, which now have three grams of fiber per serving and are currently available on grocery shelves. I saw them at Kroger the other day! These cereals include ingredients such as whole-grain corn flour, whole-grain oat flour, oat fiber and soluble corn fiber. In addition, Kellogg Company plans to extend the added fiber benefits to their other cereal lines over the next year.

As I am sure any mom can tell you,e constantly try to replace our kids’ favorite unhealthy eating habits with healthier options. Does this always work? It doesn’t in my home! However, we sometimes give in to the picky eater and let them to eat what tastes good. I really try NOT to do this but of course, it happens! Guess what? You don’t have to choose anymore! Froot Loops and Apple Jacks cereals have added fiber while maintaining the same great taste, making breakfast an easy place for kids to get the fiber they need without the battle.

I am actually excited to tell you about this cereal. When it comes to breakfast, the boys are pretty particular about their cereal. Royal is for that matter as well! All 3 of them are the added fiber Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and never knew the difference! I asked them later how was the cereal? My husband knows me so the first this he said was, “Why, what did you do?” lol I explained to him about the cereal and he just gave me an “Oh.” He said he didn’t notice a difference.
