Friday at last
If you are visiting from the Friday Blog Hop please leave a comment to let me know you were here and so I can follow you back. Thanks for visiting!
It is funny that as a stay at home mom I look forward to Friday as much as I did when I was working some weeks. Not much changes in our daily routine BUT Jon is home and that is so helpful! He has always been a wonderful dad but since Ben was born he is trying so much to be helpful around the house and with the kids. In the past he would help but only if I left a list or specifically asked. This time he takes the initiative and does things I need done without being asked or having a list set out. And that is huge for me since I HATE to ask for help. I don't know why but I hate to ask. I like to think I can do it all by myself even though I KNOW I can't.
We have a busy weekend ahead of us. A good friend of mine is turning 30 on Monday and she wants to have an adventure for the weekend so we are going ziplining tomorrow. I have never done this before and I am VERY excited. We are leaving the kids with my parents for the day and I am sad to be away from Ben for so long when he is only 5 weeks but I know he will be fine with my parents and I will have a great time with my friends.
Sunday we are going to a potluck dinner at the paddle club. It is supposed to be beatiful here on Sunday and I can't wait to take the kids swimming in the afternoon.
Don't forget to enter my YoBaby giveaway. There is only one week left.

YoBaby Giveaway
We love yogurt in my house and one of our favorite brands is Stonyfield. I rotate between buying hte small individual cups and the larege 32 ounce containers depending on prices and how much yogurt I think we will eat that week. When my kids were younger I bought the YoBaby yogurt for them because I liked that it was made with whole milk as well as being organic. Recently I learned that Stonyfield yogurt is changing the packaging of there YoBaby yogurts. Rather than come in packs of six they are now coming in packs of four which will allow buyers to mix and match their flavors. The new packaging wll be on store shelves in late July or early August.
To celebrate the new packaging size they offered to do a giveaway for my readers. One reader will recieve 5 four pack coupons, a YoBaby tote bag and a YoBaby bib. If you would like to this prize you can enter by doing the following:
Leave a comment telling me your child's favorite flavor of Stonyfield yogurt (1 entry)
Become a follower. If you are a follower then leave me a comment telling me that. (1 entry)
Write about this giveaway on your blog, leave a comment telling me about it and include the link in your comment (1 entry)
The winner will be chosen on July 31. Please leave your email address in the comments if you don't have a blog so that I can contact you!
(This contest is open only to residents of the United States.)

Stonyfield Event in Boston
This post is really really late. The Stonyfield event at the Boston Children's Museum was on the 17th. And now I am getting to the post ten days later. But I have been running behind in everything lately.
The event was excellent. We got there with very little trouble. My mom went with us because I am unfamiliar with Boston and was not up to the 1 1/2 hour drive on my own. We found the right room and got M and O settled in to the free daycare with little trouble. O was a little anxious at first but I was quickly replaced by the toy cash register. M found the stamps and crayons and was on her way.
The first thing they did was give us samples of the yo Baby Meals, the new line. It was great. I was a little uncertain at first. The meals are yogurt with a fruit and veggie puree at the bottom. Something about the combination of pears and green beans was a little unsettling. But they are great. You can barely taste the grean beans, just a hint. The yogurt is great as always and is a good comb and cover for the vegetables.
Afterwards we got to listen to Gary Hirshberg, the Ce-yo of Stonyfield. I need to say taht originally I went for the free museum passes. I have been reading more about organics lately, but I was not really inclined to it. After listening to Gary talk I am much more interested in going more organic in my food choices. He is a very interesting man to listen to. One thing tha really cuaght my attention is how focused on organic he is and how committed to it. He talked about how important it is for your health, but he didn't solely push stonyfield. He talked baout how many stores are developing their own roganic lines and how great that is and how it is becoming more affordable because of it.
It was interesting to listen to how the company was started and how committed to organic foods Gary is. He didn't simply talk about Yo Baby Meals. He also talked about how and why Stonyfield was started and why roganic si good for the environment as well as people.
After listening to the information I came home and talked to Jon about it. We are making more of a commitment to eat healthier. One point Gary made was that there are tons fo reasons to go organic and only one reason not to, the cost. The cost is coming down, but it is still more expnesive. Of course in general the healthier food costs more than the junk food so it makes sense. One main reason we have not done much organic is becuase of the cost. But after listening to Gary and reading more about it Jon and I are going to try and buy more organic products. I am doing it slowly. Last week I made the switch to organic milk- it hurt the look at the price because I love to shop the sales, but it is a commitment we have made. AFter doing some reading this summer I was trying to read more lables- something about not being able to pronouce some of the chemicals in my food is a little unsettling. I began making my own bread this summer, started buying organic macaroni and cheese as well as organic and cage free eggs. And I was making a point to only buy hormone free milk, but organic is the next step. I have heard that WalMart has organic products so I need to make a trip out to the one that has a foodmart inside and check it out. This week I am going to add organic fruit into my cart and watch my bill. If going organic means we eat less junk food (because I have less money to buy it with) maybe it will help my waistline as well!
AT the event they gave us an awesome lunch and some great goody bags to take home. My mom and I spent the afternoon chasing my kids around the museum and eveyone came home exhausted. Jon is still jealous that he couldn't manage the day off of work (we have a family trip to the Big E planned next week and it is only the third week of school) but he loved looking at the pictures of Madeline and Owen playing around.
I was going to post pictures but I am having issues. If I get it fixed I will post them later.

YoBaby Giveaway!
I love YoBaby yogurts. So do my kids. They are not cheap, but when I learned that you can get coupons from Stonyfield Farms website I started to buy them more often. I like that they are organic (as I learn more and more about what they put in our food organic is more appealing when I can afford it) and my kids eat them up!
So when recently I was contacted by Katie Moffet over at Stonyfield farms I was super excited. They are coming out with a new YoBaby product, YoBaby Meals, and offered to send me some coupons to try the product myself, wel for me to have my kids try them and see how they like them. Would I like the coupons? Of course!
In addition they offered to sponsor a giveaway to all of my readers (all five or so of you!). Would you like to win some great YoBaby stuff?
The giveaway includes:
a reusable YoBaby Bag
an Eric Carl Growth Chart
a YoBaby travel bowl with lid and utensils
an organic YoBaby bib
a bundle of 5 Free YoBaby coupons
How awesome is that?
Go here to learn more about the new YoBaby Meals and here to print your own coupons for their other products.
To win this stuff leave me a comment telling me why you want to win! Please include a link to your blog (if you have one) or your email so that I can contact the winner.
I will close the contest on August 13th and the winner will be chosen using random.org. I will post the winner on this blog and notify the winner by email. The winner will have six days to contact me or another winner will be chosen.
Good Luck!
