Cold & Flu Season Got In The Way

The 2012 Cold & Flu Season has kept me MIA for a while now.  I wanted to do a quick post just in case you were wondering where I have been or if I am still alive. I'm alive, but not well, and have been in bed mostly.

It started with our little guy getting sick.  School has been the culprit. I was next. Generally, I take something at the onset of sickness. I've tried preparations like Emergen-C, Airborne, Zicam, and most recently Oscillococcinum.  It seems to have worked for me in the past but I was never quite sure if if was all in my head.  This time I didn't take anything early on because I didn't have any on hand.  Big mistake.  I am STILL sick. I am on the mend but it is still lingering.  I am never usually sick enough to miss work but this time my illness kept me at home in bed.  I missed 3 days of work.  I wasn't well enough to even WANT to be online. I did not touch my computer.  YES, too sick to prop myself up and crack open the laptop.  I have so much catch up work both at the office and as far as online projects.  We missed our Disneyland & Knott's Berry Farm trips since I was sick.  I hope that you all are staying healthy!

Kidfresh Frozen Meals #KFHealthyKids Options

As a working mom, I automatically lose 8 hours a day to be at home to with our son.  We have a wonderful person to watch over our little guy while my husband & I are both at work:  my mom.  She is a blessing and wonderful with our child. We are very lucky that our son isn't too picky when it comes to meal time. He is a toddler so he can have his moments when he doesn't want what is prepared.  It is to be expected.  With a loving support system and backup plans at meal time, we are covered.  Our son is a happy, healthy two year old!


For those times that I am away it is nice to have meal alternatives on hand for the person caring for my child (my husband, my mom, or my sister).  I'd rather attention be on my child rather than in the kitchen trying to figure out what will please his palate.  We have recently discovered Kidfresh Frozen Meals.  Our son's favorite is the Wagon Wheels Mac + Cheese.  I feel better about having this on hand for those "just in case" finicky moments. Luckily our son LOVES his veggies but if your toddler is not a fan - not to worry...Kidfresh purees veggies and sneaks them right into their frozen meals! Check our their line of products here.
I printed my $1 off coupon from the Kidfresh facebook page (you can too)! With coupon in hand, I headed to our local Von's grocery store.  Kidfresh Meals were on sale for $2.99 each!  We purchased the Wagon Wheels Mac + Cheese and Spaghetti Loops Bolognese.  If you are in search of easy kid's meals look for Kidfresh offerings in your area by checking out the Kidfresh Store Locator.

Do You Have Time To Blog?

Time for an update on my blogging progress.  Last month I decided to focus more on my blog topics. Here is my original post: Future Blog Topics: Family Fun.  By listing what I intended to write about I am finding that it has helped me to stay on task.  So far I have completed half of my list!  I may have to make a new list soon!  I'd love to know what your tips & tricks are for managing time for blogging.  I'm always looking for ways to get the most out of what little bits of time I can find! I found my past blog post from last year and I have come a such long way since then. Now I have Time or at least I'm much better at managing it. Yay for progress.  I could still use your tips since I have so much room for improvement!

Stay tuned for these post topics:
