Sponsor: Sprout Organics and a Giveaway!!!!

.....I do not follow horoscopes, but I am fully aware that my libra sign is a scale.....apparently, we libras strive for balance and harmony and I must admit, that does describe me to a tee........however, I stopped believing in perfect harmony a long time ago......

......for instance, in my household, nothing is ever running perfectly.....when we are excelling in one area, such as a seamless and timely bedtime routine; something else slips, like maintaining a clutter free house......when we are rocking the chore chart and every child is carrying a load of family responsibility, we are late to everything for the week or two we are emptying little trash cans and putting our shoes in their proper places......

......this summer, we are certainly thriving in fun......our days have been busy, but simultaneously carefree......the laid back theme has slipped into my meal planning and we have eaten more junk than I care to admit.....chicken nuggets, boxed mac n cheese, and even the disgusting lunchables have been consumed in the car for a quick bite before we head to another fun outing.....the pizza man delivered our pie for lunch today and greeted me, "hello again!" when I opened the door......yes, when one area thrives, another plunders and it's all okay.....

.....one thing that has eased my conscience is that in between the junk I have been serving for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we have all been snacking on the big box of sprout organic snacks that arrived last week......we have been alternating between the fruit and veggie crips and the yogurt bites and we are devouring them.......

.....even my five year old is fighting over her favorite flavors.....


.....they have been great to throw on the plate while I heat up a frozen boxed waffle for Brody.....it makes me feel ten times better that he has already consumed carrot puree blended into his strawberry bites; as I am pouring aunt jemima's high fructose corn syrup in a bowl for him to dip his waffle......

....at least we are off to the library, the pool and then a play date at the beach....no time for scrambled eggs or sliced fruit......

....but we do have our sprout organic snacks.....


.....all the packaging is BPA free and all of the natural ingredients in their snacks are organic wholesome fruit and veggie combinations with whole grains......



.....Sprout Organic Foods is offering one lucky winner a Sprout Organics Snack Sampler, featuring new toddler snacks- all four flavors of the fruit and veggies chews and yogurt bites......

.....you can enter for your chance to win here until Saturday, July 6th......


.....good luck.....

......in the meantime, I will be using our sampler snacks as a nutritious supplement until the balance in our home shifts and preparing good, nutritious meals becomes a priority again.....

.....in the meantime, we are off for our summer fun......
