$10 in Free Scholastic eBooks

September 16, 2011 By: amyswandering1 Comment

I posted this deal on Facebook earlier today, but wanted to let  you know about it here, too.

Use code 10THANKS to get $10 worth of free downloads from Scholastic Teacher Express.

Right now there is a $1 sale, so you could get 10 e-books free.

I really, really like the Hands on History books. We used a one a couple of years ago when we studied American History, and now I have several more!

Be sure to follow myFacebook page if you like deals like this – that is where I post most of the freebies!!

Thanks Money Saving Mom!

WFMW – TV Shows for Picky Eaters

September 7, 2011 By: amyswanderingcomment

I have a couple of really picky eaters. And I don’t mean won’t-eat-veggies-unless-they-are-hidden-in-sauce picky. Reallllly picky.

We do make them try new things, but it has been an uphill battle until recently. So how does watching TV play into all this? Let me backtrack.

We have a rule during the school year that only educational shows may be watched during school time. 

We have an hour-long lunch break, so they can watch something after lunch. I deemed cooking/food shows as educational, and they are fun for the whole family!

Back to the picky eaters – I noticed that the more shows we watched, the more interested they were in trying new food combinations.

My picky eaters still have a limited menu, but they now both like salad and even hunt for the spinach in it. A year ago I would not have believed you if you had told me that they would willingly eat a salad!

Here are some of our favorite shows:

  • Chopped
  • Diners, Drive-ins and Dives
  • Barefoot Contessa
  • The Best Thing I Ever Ate
  • Giada at Home
  • Good Eats
  • 30-Minute Meals

So if you are sitting there thinking, “There is no way my kid will ever eat a salad”, don’t give up hope . . . just turn on the TV!  HaHa

{Be sure to screen any new shows before allowing your child to watch. There are some unsavory ones out there.}
