Memories: My Unforgettable Diaper Experiences with Baby #5 (and a Giveaway!)

June 22, 2013 by Sandra 35 Comments


This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Bloggers Connect and Huggiesยฎ. Babies Rโ€™ Us has provided me with a $50 gift card to supply to one reader for a giveaway. I have been financially compensated to provide my opinion and review of the products. Even though I received compensation for this post, I always give my honest opinions, findings, beliefs, or experiences on the products. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own. Any product claim, statistic, quote or other representation about a product or service should be verified with the manufacturer, provider or party in question. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission Guidelines, 16 C.F.R Part 255.

Unforgettable Diaper Experience via thesensilblemom.com

Having five children has certainly made my family susceptible to unforgettable experiences when it comes to diapers.

If you have children, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. It’s the worst when those experiences happen in public and your diaper bag isn’t in arms reach. Or worse, if you’ve forgotten the diaper bag at home and have to clean baby up and wrap her in a blanket. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Unforgettable Diaper Experiences
All of my kids have had their fair share of diaper ‘moments,’ but I think, for our family, the diaper moments that we became familiar with when it came to our fifth baby completely beat out all the rest. Thankfully, most of the time, her explosionsย diaper ‘moments’ happened either in her high chair or her swing — at home.

I don’t know what it is about babies, but somehow, when they fill their diaper, it literally defies gravity, goes UP, and comes out the backend of their diaper and, well, creates a big mess that mommy or daddy has to change. It doesn’t stop there, though, because then you have to wash baby’s clothes and clean up the area where the incident occurred.

Solution to Our Problem
As you can imagine, when these types of humorous diaper ‘moments’ keep happening, you have to search for a diaper that’s going to make a difference and work for your family, so that gravity-defying moments like the ones I mentioned happen less frequently or not at all. One diaper that we literally bought by the case because it offers great long-lasting protection that we can count on is Huggies Snug & Dry.

Huggies Huggies Snug & Dry offers these benefits so that you can focus more on your baby and less on the mess:

  • New SureFit* design with up to 12 hours of leakage protection
  • SnugFit* waistband for an all-around fit
  • A ‘closer-to-body’ fit to move with babyโ€™s twists and turns
  • A Softer outer cover (Love this!)

And now for the GIVEAWAY!
ONE very excited reader will win a $50 Babies R Us gift card to buy their own Huggies Snug & Dry diapers! ๐Ÿ™‚

Summer Treats for Kids at Mariano’s

Vero gelato

While I try to keep it healthy with my children most of the time, the fact that it’s summertime is a great excuse to enjoy a little extra sweetness when it comes to food.

And I can’t think of a better way to indulge our sweet tooth than with a cup of Vero gelato from my localย Mariano’s Lakeshore East store in Chicago. We made a trip there recently for a fun family day out.

Mariano's gelato

I’d planned to visit Mariano’s to enjoy some gelato on the patio (which has a breathtaking view), and then head to the Lincon Park Zoo to finish our day with a little exercise. ๐Ÿ˜‰

It as a FULL but happy day.

Our Chicago adventure started with having to choose from a huge selection of gelato flavors at Mariano’s. One of my personal favorites was the cappuccino gelato, but that’s because I can’t live without coffee. The kids loved the cookies & cream gelato and the strawberry gelato. They all looked amazing, though.

Chicago Lakeshore East Mariano's gelato

When I say there’s a huge selection, I really mean there’s a wide range of gelato flavors. Just look at all the creamy, wavy goodness.

vero gelato flavors at marianos

It’s a good thing that we have a big family. I was able to choose six different flavors of gelato, and since we share and all, I was able to taste almost all of them.

And a bonus is that the next time we treat the kids to gelato at Mariano’s, I’m going to save a little money, because I found out that when I use my Mariano’s rewards card, when you buy 10 cups of gelato, the 11th cup is free. ๐Ÿ™‚

Vero Gelato on the Patio at Mariano’s
While I was in charge of the gelato, my husband was in charge of finding us seats out on the patio at Mariano’s. He found a great spot for the us, too.

kids treats

I mentioned earlier that the view is awesome out on the patio, and it truly is. We saw blue skies, green grass, and Chicago skyscrapers…true beauty.

Here are a few more pictures that I captured from the patio at Mariano’s. For me, these pictures made Mariano’s even more amazing. Seriously. I was able to see these views at a grocery store. Just. Wow.

chicago

I *heart* Mariano’s in a whole new way after this trip. This was my first time to this specific Chicago location, and I’ll be back!

Overall, the Vero gelato was delicious, and to make this trip truly unforgettable for the kids, we had them pick out a few items from the bakery AND the candy aisle.

We went all out. ๐Ÿ˜‰

They enjoyed their bakery treats at the zoo, where we stopped after our visit to Mariano’s.

The sweet treats from Mariano’s made this summer day extra special.

What’s a favorite summer treat for your kids? What’s your favorite gelato flavor?

Did you know? You can find great recipes and ideas from theย Marianoโ€™s Community. And you can follow Marianoโ€™s onย Facebookย andย Twitterย for their latest updates.ย You can also find out more about my shopping trip to Marianoโ€™s here in myย Google+ story.

Use the Walgreens Steps with Balance Rewards program to help you live a healthier lifestyle

April 8, 2013 by Sandra 4 Comments


Steps with Balance Rewards

Wouldn’t it be great to earn real rewards that can amount to real dollars being saved at the checkout lane? Wouldn’t it be great to save money while being encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle?

I have to shout a big, “Yes!” to both of those things.

As a wife and mom on a journey to lose weight and be healthy…and as a girl who knows it ISN’T going to happen overnight (but I’m in it for the long haul)…I need motivation to keep moving forward. I need encouragement to keep going and not give up, even when the scale makes me feel like I should’ve never stepped on it in the first place, because it’s not showing me the numbers I want to see.

Staying Motivated

I have a number of ways that I stay motivated to be healthy. They’re sort of my little tool kit that keeps me going.ย One of those tools that I know I’ll be using for the long haul is the Steps with Balance Rewards program with Walgreens.

Have you heard of it?

It’s a neat program where you earn Balance Rewards for setting goals (such as weight loss goals), and you can even earn rewards for exercising. For example, last week I walked on the treadmill for nearly three hours, and I earned rewards for doing so. No pedometer or anything special was needed to track my walking. I simply input the information into my Steps with Balance Rewards account, and I was rewarded points.

Easy, right?

In a nutshell, here’s what you can do with the Steps with Balance Rewards program:

  • Earn points for walking, running, and tracking your weight (set goals easily on the website)
  • Track progress toward meeting your goals
  • Sync a device to log activity while you are out
  • Connect with friends in Walgreens’ revamped community forum

How Balance Rewards turn into Real Savings

As I accumulate rewards, they will eventually translate into money that can be taken off of my total when I checkout at Walgreens. That’s pretty great.

How to sign up!

I’ve created a ‘pin’ able graphic to show just how easy it is to get started with the Steps with Balance Rewards program.

Steps with Balance Rewards

Simply hit the ‘Pin it’ button at the top of this post to pin this graphic and refer back to later. ๐Ÿ™‚

Overall, I’m really enjoying this program. I love this it’s another tool in my belt on this journey to lose weight and be healthy for myself and my family.

One more thing you might be interested in knowing…

walgreens instant sweepstakes

Walgreens has a ‘Step Up To Win’ sweepstakes going on right now, which has daily instant win prizes and a grand prize, a trip to The Biggest Loser resort of the winner’s choice — that would be a great trip to win!

So…how do you stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle? What’s in your tool kit that keeps you going?

P.S. You can enjoy more posts like this and get fun and creative ideas for a whole lot more over on the Collective Biasย AisleShare FUN website.

Take a peek at my recent shopping trip to Walgreens to snag something that helps me to live a healthier lifestyle here.

Tea Time Means Me Time

April 5, 2013 by Sandra 5 Comments


bigelow tea time

Nighttime at my house is not uneventful.

It involves diapers, baths, snacks, making sure children have brushed their teeth, reading, bedtime prayers, talking, saying goodnight, and making sure kids stay in their beds. Our regular routine takes about one hour to go through from start to finish, and it can be mentally exhausting some nights.

When the dust has settled and my four-year-old stops getting out of his bed, I look forward to having a little me time. And for my longtime readers, who followed my partial juice fast in February (where I blogged about my daily meals and snacks), you know that my regular nighttime drink of choice was tea.

tea time

I’ve been a tea-lover forever. Well, not actually, but it seems that way. Tea and I just go together. It’s one way that I relax and unwind after a long and busy day of being a wife, mom, and work-at-home mama.

Bigelow Tea Time

One of my favorite brands of tea is Bigelow Tea. Right now, I’m enjoying their vanilla chai tea at night. I love it, because with a little rice milk, it’s the perfect drink to sip while I catch up on emails, read blogs, and decompress before I head into whatever nighttime projects I have scheduled.

tea time

Sometimes after I’ve had some me time and I don’t have to work on any projects at night, I get to sip my Bigelow tea while my husband and I catch up on the latest episode ofย Dateline. While this is a rare treat lately, it’s another way I love to enjoy my tea.

Thank you, Bigelow Tea, for making such a huge variety of teas to enjoy. Your tea is a much needed part of my nighttime ‘me time’ routine.

Do you drink tea? What’s your favorite way to get in a little me time?
