Perfect Vitamins for Kiddos: Smarty Pants

Recently I started my girls on these new multi-vitamins called Smarty Pants from Hotze Health and Wellness.  Let me just say, they were a hit in my house... with the kids and with me.

If you have read any update on my girls this year, you would know that 2 out of the 3 are the picky-ist of picky eaters.  These vitamins pack a punch with the amount of goodies they have in them... from essential vitamins and minerals to omega-3s, vitamin D, and 4 grams of soluble fiber.  Sam and Taylor won't even let me put veggies or meat on their plates, so it makes me feel a little better knowing they are getting the things they need.  And the biggest thing in our house...THE KIDS LIKE THEM!!! (Mini-dance party going on right now).

A direct quote from Mallory:

"They're good! They taste like apple juice!"

And I asked them, "Are they better than princess gummies (vitamins)?"

All together:  "YES!"

Go check out Hotze Vitamins and used coupon code TEAMPATTERSON for $5 off your purchase.  Our entire family have thoroughly enjoyed having these Smarty Pants vitamins in our house.

Perfect Christmas Gift: Custom Silhouette Ornament

Some of you may know I have started my own little crafting business and it has been a great creative outlet for me.  I can get away from the toddler-ness in my house and do something for me that I love.  Right now I'm doing a pre-order on these beautiful custom silhouette ornaments.  There are so many colors/fonts to choose from.

3 Daughters Design Shop

 Right now the cost per ornament is $18 (until September 25, 2016).  This includes custom design of a silhouette from a digital photo provided, glitter/paint ornament color, vinyl color of your choice, font choice for the Name under the silhouette and 2016 on the back.  So many color/font combinations.

And, duplicates are only $10 (until September 25, 2016).  These make perfect Christmas presents for grandparents or Godparents.  A duplicate is an ornament that uses the exact same silhouette and color/font options as previously ordered.  Click here to order Duplicates.

2016 comes on the back of every custom made ornament.

Ornament Color Options (pictured below):  Silver glitter, gold glitter, red glitter, green glitter, purple glitter, blue glitter, solid red, solid green, solid navy

Vinyl Color Options: green, dark green, red, dark red, black, white, silver, metallic silver, gold, metallic gold, purple, pink, navy

I can also do pet silhouettes to adorn on your ornament.

Another SPECIAL I'm doing right now is buy an ornament and 5x7 silhouette (ready to frame) for only $30!  You can see that at this link.  Perfect for your Christmas tree and then a beautiful silhouette to add to your home decor all year round.

I can't wait to put these up on my Christmas tree this year!

Citrus Lane: Delivering a Box of Surprise Goodies Every Month

As a mom of triplets, I don't have much time to get out and shop.  I like to do most of my shopping online now, mostly for convenience.  Even better than online shopping, is automatic delivery of items you need.  Such a time saver.  How, may you ask?  Citrus Lane, my friends. 

 

You sign up for a 1, 3, 6, or 12 month subscription, and every month a sweet little yellow package shows up on your doorstep. 

 

 

It is filled with children's toys, books, feeding utensils, snacks for baby or Mom, or household cleaning items. Things I don't have time to run to the store and buy.  The girls would never have anything new to play with if this didn't arrive every month.  It is a great way to try new products and find out what works best for our family.  I also love that even though I have triplets, by ordering just one box, I'm able to use the items for all of the girls.

 

Everything that is in your Citrus Lane box is age appropriate.  So your gifts grow with your kids.  They also offer a range of services that help moms and dads care for and raise their children: high-quality brands, comprehensive product ratings and reviews, parenting advice and anecdotes, community connection, and a one-stop shopping experience.

 

 

 

I love just plopping the whole box in front of them (I remove the papers and keep a close eye on them).  They can rummage through their new stuff at the same time I do.  They love to touch and feel everything and even love the box too :)

 

 

Taylor is ecstatic about her new ball.

 

 

What was in my box this month?

 

 

1.  Stacking Cups from Green Toys.  I love these!  And my girls love these!  There are multiple pieces so everyone gets to hold one.  They can be used in the water, with sand, or just to chew on and bang together.  They stack the way the picture shows and also upside down.  They are numbered so when the girls get older, we can use them to improve their math skills.  They are volumetrically accurate so a 2 plus a 3 equals a 5.  I'm just happy my girls will be able to grow with this toy and its educational.

 

2.  Back to Nature snacks.  I can't wait to try these when I can have dairy again.  They contain no artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, flavors, or colors.  The perfect size to throw in my purse for a snack on the run.

 

3.  Double snack container by Goodbyn.  Perfect for a mom with triplets.  One cup for each baby is always too much and one cup is never enough, so this is the perfect size for us.

 

4.  Fresh Feet Wipes from Jasmine Seven.  Most days, I just run around the house barefoot when I'm chasing babies.  At the end of the day, these are awesome for cleaning my tootsies before jumping in bed.

 

5.  Playground ball from Crocodile Creek.  The girls are ALL about balls right now.  They make the "Ba" sound when they see or play with a ball so I'm sure ball will be one of their first words.  It bounces and its small enough for their tiny hands to hold.  They go right for it when I put them in their play pen.  Its PVC, BPA, and vinyl free.
