Make Life a Little Better Blog Tour
Summertime is all about making those beautiful memories you’ll share with your loved ones for the rest of your life. So why not also start them small? I have four kids and I’ve learned that it is the smallest of things that really count with them. They don’t care that they had the most birthday gifts, best school books, etc. It is the time you spent with them, the picnics you shared, swings you swung on and meals you cooked together. Do you agree?
MomCentral recently asked if I’d take a peek at MakingLifeBetter’s Family Fun E-book and see what I thought of it. To be honest I normally dread anything that is an ebook, I love books in print. But this is short, sweet and full of yummy recipes for you and your children to try at home. Each recipe has a picture to go with it, which of course only makes you want it even more and the price of how much it will cost to make. There are even little tips when the author thought you’d need them, for example one suggests using candy instead of chocolate, or suggesting the use of cranberries inside oatmeal cookies.
For those of you that actually get a break from the kids every once in a blue moon, there are romantic meals for two that are quick and easy to make. I believe the biggest, errrr, most expensive meal per serving was the lasagna,but that is to be expected.
We are going to try the Skippy Dippin’ Sundaes later today, I never would’ve thought to actually melt the peanut butter and use it as a topping. this is great, I can’t wait to go over the rest of the menu idea. Ya’ll know how much we love to have picnics, I think we are going to try doing their Living Room Picnic. First you spread out a blanket, grab those paper plates and eat. They have recipes such as Chicken & Avocado Wraps (Hellmann’s)or even Shedd’s Snack Mix (Country Crock). I don’t typically have a big meal for lunch so this would work out great.
For dinner we could do the DVR Drive in, since we always rent DVDs from REDBOX. They suggest a few ideas, these are the two we are thinking of: Grilled Chicken & Veggies Over Rice (Knorr Sides & I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!) or Bertolli Creamy Fettuccine Primavera (Bertolli Sauce)by the way, all of this can be made with your kids. Which I think is the thing that will help them remember all the fun times you had this summer. Make it a family day and you’ll be making life better.
You can get your own for free here. Don’t forget you can lower the cost of many of the Unilever items by using coupons. There were a ton of the Knorr Sides in this past Sunday paper.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on
behalf of Unilever/Making Life Better. Mom Central sent me a gift card and a
copy of the Family Fun Book to thank me for taking the time to participate.
