Where in the world is ZM?

I am sorry if it seems I have dropped off the face of the planet this week, but I have in fact fallen off the face of the internet.





Last Thursday I left for NYC to the BlogHer convention. I was so busy I didn't get a chance to be online during that time. I thought, no worries, I am going to be leaving Sunday for 5 days with family and I could catch up then. Well, little did I know where I was going there was NO internet or Cell service for me!!!!!!





Hmmmmmmm, I think the view was well worth it, what do you think?



I should be back to shopping this weekend and blogging very very soon!

Cellfire will reset tomorrow August 10th!

If you have not done so already, you should go to Cellfire and load up all the available coupons on your card. The coupons you load today will still be good to use for 2 weeks BUT only if you load them before they disappear at midnight. A new batch will show up tomorrow, and here is hoping there are some repeats for a good Safeway run :).
While you are loading up your cards, make sure you have checked shortcuts, Randalls and P&G for new coupons as well.

Seventh Generation Back to School Giveaway

I have got to admit, I am super excited about this new giveaway MyBlogSpark and Seventh Generation is offering my readers.

As you should be aware(if you are not I am sorry to be the messenger, lol) back to school time is approaching fast. The thing I HATE about back to school is the inevitable phone call that soon follows that one of my kiddos is sick and needs to be picked up.
Well, lucky for me this year, Seventh Generation is sharing tips from best-selling author and pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene, to help me (and other parents) protect my (their) child’s health during back-to-school season. Dr. Greene suggests taking the following precautions:
Optimize the immune system
Reap the benefits of probiotics like those found in yogurt. A recent study showed that children who received enough probiotics daily throughout the cold and flu season had a significant reduction in the number of illnesses they had and, when they did get sick, the symptoms were both milder and didn't last as long.

Be sure your child is getting plenty of vitamin D from the sun, from food, or from a supplement.

Build a strong foundation. Good food, good sleep, and good physical activity all help the immune system to flourish
Be wise about reducing unnecessary exposure to harmful germs
Teach children the key times to clean their hands in the classroom. The most important times include after sneezing, coughing or using the restroom, upon leaving "high-risk" places (recess, naptime, play stations) and before meals or snacks.

Sixty percent of teachers surveyed said that they request that parents donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom. Seventh Generation’s disinfecting wipes kill 99.99% of germs* naturally using the active ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme.

Stress the importance of not touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

Demonstrate to your children how to cover their mouth and nose for every cough and sneeze. This simple maneuver has spectacular results in decreasing the spread of viruses and bacteria floating about the room, waiting to be inhaled.
*Refer to disinfecting product labels for full details

You can also check out Seventh Generation on Facebook and Twitter today! While you are at it, feel free to follow me on facebook or twitter for all the latest updates to my blog.

Some of this seems like common sense, but when kids are involved, it is important to MAKE it common sense to them (remember, they have not been around as long as you).


Now, for the fun stuff! Everything you see pictured above will be given away to ONE lucky reader.
This is what I want from you:
Give me one tip on how you keep your kids healthy and germ free. Only one entry per reader please.

The fine print:
One entry per person, anon comments without identifier will be deleted and disqualified, email entries will not be considered a valid entry and will be deleted/disqualified. Winner will be chosen via random.org on August 14th from all eligible entries. Winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize from the timestamp I post the winner, or a new winner will be chosen.

Seventh Generation product, gift pack, and additional gift pack to give away to my reader were all given to me from Seventh Generation through MyBlogSpark. I received no other compensation for this post and all opinions are mine.
