Chop Chop is a magazine for families and their children, ages 5-12. It has so many creative ideas for healthy recipes, snack ideas, cooking ideas and affordable meal ideas.
The recipes, tips and activities are outlined very clearly and really draw in your attention. This magazine is great for children to help develop healthy eating habits and offers lots of different food ideas. The recipes are affordable and nutritious. I think it is great there is a magazine about health and nutrition for children. My children are picky eaters so I love to have a reference to fall back on for new ideas. The best part is it even gives me new ideas and helps me to focus on better eating habits and food ideas.
This magazine is issued quarterly and Chop Chop has been gracious enough to offer a 1 year subscription to one of our readers.

NeatReceipts Mobile Scanner Review and Giveaway!
One night I was up late with my youngest son and we were watching TV. A commercial came on and it really caught my attention. It was for NeatReceipts and I was glued to the TV!
I desperately need to get organized from bills, to papers, receipts, recipes, everything in my life! This portable scanner and digital filing system will help you manage all of your paperwork on the computer.
I thought this was to good too be true! I contacted the company and they were gracious enough to send a portable mobile scanner to me to try, review and offer a giveaway! This scanner comes with a software application that helps you manage all of your documents in a very organized fashion. You can also search by keyword for what you are looking for.
I am so impressed with this and have been able to go virtually paperless in my house and feel confident because I backed everything up and can find what I need so much faster than sifting through my different "organized" (or so I thought...) piles. I wasn't sure I would feel comfortable just scanning all of our important documents and recycling them, but I really do!
MommiesInMind is very excited to have an opportunity to offer this product to one lucky reader!
Please follow the directions for this giveaway HERE.
I love to snuggle with my sons at night to read books and watch videos. I loved watching this DVD with them because it was engaging for them and I felt less guilty not reading to them!
This DVD is a very playful and artistic approach to teaching children letters and single words. My 2 1/2 year old really loved watching this and the animation kept his interest and the creative nature of this video really kept my interest as well. The DVD displays animation with home-based recyclable materials which I thought was very creative! The characters are very cute and made this DVD a fun approach to teaching letters and single words.
Our friends at Love To Read have graciously offered to give away one copy of this DVD. Please leave a comment with your name and e-mail address HERE, and we will randomly select one person to receive this DVD next week.

DippyCups are really cute little silicone cups that kids use to dunk foods into their favorite sauces, ketchup, hummus, yogurt, anything! They come in a set of 6 colors and hold two-tablespoons. It helps kids to understand portion control and fits perfectly on a plate. My son likes when I serve peas, fishies, blueberries and rice in them.
Please leave a comment on our main page posting with your name and e-mail address to enter this giveaway. We will randomly select the winner next Thursday.
Enjoy!
Like most parents, keeping our kids safe is a number 1 priority. At some point, they want to walk on their own and refuse to hold your hand. That's where The Gripsterz comes in. To your toddler it looks like a fun toy to play with, to a parent, it is a device that will protect your child. My child loved the monkey faced handle and enjoyed voicing their independence by not holding my hand. I loved the wrist band that still connected to his wrist if he chose to let go. The belt between us was adjustable and I never felt like I had him on a kiddie leash. I felt so much safer using the The Gripsterz and my son felt like a "big boy."
If you would like to try out "The Gripsterz," please leave a comment on our main posting page with your e-mail address. We will randomly select our winner with random.org and extra entries will be considered for following My Precious Kid on Facebook and Twitter. Please include in your comment which you are also planning to follow.

The Munchie Mug is wonderful!
I went to the Baby Expo in Boston months ago and learned abut the Munchie Mug. It is a "Spill-Resistant Snack Cup for Infants and Toddlers!"
My son takes his everywhere and it really eliminates a mess in the car and at home. It is easy to use and my son loves it. All you have to do is unscrew the lid and put the snack in. There is a little cloth opening that stays closed until a child reaches in for their snack. The cloth closes by itself once the child takes his/her hand out. This mug has really eliminated lots of spills which makes mommy very happy!
Please leave your name and e-mail address on our home page as a comment if you would like to enter this giveaway. Good Luck!
YUMMY!! I was out last summer with my Mother's Group at an outing and they had snacks available for the kids. I stumbled across the Brothers-All-Natural Fuji Apple Fruit Crisps and was so happy for a healthy snack to give to my son. Of course Mommy had to try them and they are awesome!!! We love these and they are 100% real fruit, no yucky preservatives and no extra sugar is added. I tell my husband I have to keep buying them for the kids but I'm guilty, I eat them almost every day as my healthy snack. We contacted the company and they sent us some yummy samples. The apples are our favorite but the strawberries, pears, bananas and pineapple are absolutely delicious as well! I always keep a package (or two or three!) in my diaper bag, car and we always have them on hand in the house. They are such a fun and healthy snack to always have on hand.
We are also going to giveaway a 24 Count Variety Pack thanks to our friends at Brothers. Check out their website, they have some yummy treats to check out.

I'm not sure if anyone has ever heard of the WubbaNub? When my son was 2 months old we were at the Dr.'s office and one of the nurses saw my son trying to keep his binky in his mouth and crying every time he lost it. She told me about this "WubbaNub"...I kind of laughed but decided it was worth trying out. I LOVE this as much as my son! They are just adorable and he can cuddle with the stuffed animal and can use the binky when he wants. The stuffed animal allows him to find his binky and he has figured out how to get it into his mouth. We have one in his crib and car seat. It is really handy! I wish I had this product when my older son was born, the true binky addict!

How many of you have children that kick and scream at the thought of eating vegetables? Does your child think that gummi fruits are part of the four food groups? I am happy to report that there may be an answer to your problem. I was fortunate enough to be able to review Ella’s Kitchen Organic Baby Food and my 18 month old daughter could not get enough of it. Ella’s Kitchen was established by Paul Lindley, who wanted his daughter to not only know how to eat healthy, but that it could be fun as well.
Ella’s Kitchen offers a variety of 100% organic fruit and vegetable purees in easy to handle squeezable pouches. My daughter sampled a number of their products, such as Carrots, Apples & Parsnips, Broccoli, Pears & Peas, and Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkin, Apples & Blueberries. Knowing how she loved sweet potatoes, I offered these to her first. She was immediately intrigued by the pouch and after showing her how to use it, she was sipping the puree like a pro. Needless to say, that packet was empty within two minutes. This could be good, I thought to myself.
As the week progressed, she actually began to clap when she saw the pouches approaching. We had them with breakfast, she snacked on one as we walked the lake, and also enjoyed one in her car seat while running errands. I am so thrilled to have found Ella’s Kitchen. I would recommend Ella’s Kitchen without a moment’s hesitation. My daughter looks forward to having Ella’s items and I feel great giving them to her. As much as I love offering her cereal or crackers to munch on for a snack, I am beyond happy to know that now I can give her fruits and vegetables by simply taking a pouch out of my pantry or diaper bag.
To try Ella’s Kitchen for yourself, visit them at: Ella's Kitchen . Ella's Kitchen is now available at the following MA Target Stores: Worcester, Seekonk, Westborough, Hadley, Revere, Leominster, Bedford and Haverhill.
