I do not know about you, but for me my son's nutrition is really important. Although there are times I allow treats that might not be the healthiest, we try to have natural ingredients, GMO free and avoid chemicals in our food. So when my son started school a few years ago, we decided he was going to take lunch made at home for his school lunches. It is an easy way to control what he eats. I have seen the school lunches and they are not appealing, and let's be honest, they are not healthy. I have been trying to get creative with the lunches, so my son does not get bored. We occasionally do the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, however I try to make lunches fun and send him a variety of foods. However it is easy to run out of ideas, so when I heard about MOMables, I knew I was going to be helpful. I am glad I was presented with the opportunity to review the membership plan, I will have now more ideas. MOMables is a meal subscription membership site. They provide you with the shopping list to create the menu and and easy to follow step by step recipe recreation. Recipes are simple and you can make food variations. They even have gluten free recipes. Each meal plan membership can be purchased at a 3 month subscription ($24) or a yearly membership ($79). You can check out a free sample recipe before you buy your membership to make sure the program is for you. MOMables was founded by Laura Fuentes a mom of 3, that was looking for healthy options to pack in her kids school lunches. The idea behind the subscription site is that every Friday you get your menu for the following week. There is a few items that you can prepare over the weekend to save time.

Available on 08/26/14About the DVDGet ready for this amazing adventure that shows how kids can save the world! NORVA and JORPE are a gifted and loving sister and brother living in Thailand who have unique abilities to communicate with nature. They literally run into SAM, the son of the president of the Capital State, when he gets lost on a scouting expedition. Sam is impetuous and fool-hardy, but he soon learns to respect his two companions as his electronic gadgets go haywire and strange, burning objects plunge from the sky. The kids rush to the Capital State to warn the president and stop the damage, but they’re no match for the energy-hungry devices that threaten to engulf the planet. The only way to prevent the complete destruction of the world is to turn off all the power and let the earth regenerate, but how can they get the message across to everyone in time? Watch the trailerDid we like it? Cute, funny and entertaining. A hit among the boys during the play-date. Great message for kids. We will for sure be watching it again soon
Disclosure: I received complementary products to facilitate this review, however all opinions expressed are my own. Summer is almost over and it is time for kids to go back to school. We had a great summer, but I think all parents will agree it is time for kids to go back to school. We just got our classroom assignment letter and we cannot be happier. My son's teacher will be the same teacher he had last year. She is an awesome teacher and we like her a lot. Since, we are so happy with our teacher assignment we have decided to put together a welcome gift basket for the teacher. Just a little token of appreciation for what we know it is going to be hard work for a whole year. I have always thought being a teacher cannot be easy, and I think teachers deserve support from parents and all the help they can get. When I started shopping for our welcome basket, I knew I needed to include some hand sanitizer. Yes, i need to make sure kids have clean hands, so maybe my son will not get sick all the time. Let's face it kids go back to school and all the germs come home with them. They get sick and parents get sick. And who has time to be sick? well, not me, not this year. As far as hand sanitizers goes, there is a few brands our there, however I found a cool brand that is made in the USA and is triclosan-free. Let me tell you more about the b4 products. The b4 hand sanitizer is specially formulated to kill 99.9% germs and bacteria, b4 moisturizes hands with Vitamin E and aloe and it comes in really cool bold colors. b4 products are packaged hand sanitizers that are convenient for anyone on the go, especially with kids and off course they are perfect for school backpacks and for teachers to have on their classrooms. Small packages that will avoid waste, although the product also comes in a wall dispenser and hand pumps. The best part about b4 hand sanitizer is that they give 50 percent of all profits from sales to children-focused causes. The profits are donated through The Midway Foundation and more than $1.3 millions have already been donated to more than 150 organizations. You can shop online and use code “b4health” and get 15% off any online orders. All orders over $35 receive free shipping.
b4 products will be available at Staples store starting Sept. 9th so you can buy them locally too. Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone In our house we love sea food and one of our favorite recipes is Shrimp Ceviche. I try to prepare it as often as I can because it is easy to make and it is healthy. We also love spicy food, however some of the hot sauces available in the market have a vinegar taste, in most times my son asks me not to put any hot sauce in the food. But if you know anything about cooking, you know that a good Shrimp Ceviche has to be spicy. So I was really happy when I finally found a hot sauce that taste like homemade and it is affordable. Since we are shopping for back to school supplies, I took a trip to Walmart and after buying notebooks and pencils I found El Yucateco sauces at the Latin Food aisle, so I guess we will having some back to school dinner celebration with Shrimp Ceviche and avocado. El Yucateco hot sauce has an authentic mexican flavor. It is bold and spicy and it is great with so many foods. Just imagine that you can add it to every day recipes to create a new latino flavor dish. It would be a great addition during breakfast time to any burrito, chilaquiles or even an omelet. My son asked me to add it to our chicken rice and it really made a great difference on the taste. We are going to try some hot wings next, because with 4 different flavors available the possibilities are endless. El Yucateco is available in 4 great flavors
El Yucateco will not only be great for food. I am imagining some Micheladas or even an spicy Bloody Mary to go with the ceviche. That is a great way to have your #SauceOn #CollectiveBias Twitter party and you are invited! There is also going to be a fun bilingual twitter party where you will be able to get some ideas on how to bring more excitement to everyday meals using El Yucateco. There will be recipes and $550 in Walmart Gift Cards. Thu, 4 Sep 2014 1:00PM EST and you can RSVP here Giveaway! I have great news for all My Life is a Journey readers.
