Waking those Sleepy Heads Up with Silk Fruit & Protein #silkfruit @LoveMySilk #paid

Morning is not a favorite place in my house if woken up too soon.  My girls are sluggish and often cranky if they just aren't ready to wake up.  Often times, we might be in a hurry to get moving and if I rush too quickly, they just end up crankier or even in tears.  This is where I try different things to get them moving and shaking by healthy alternatives for breakfast as I'm a staunch believer in putting healthier foods in their bellies.  As part of my participation with SocialMoms, this is a sponsored post but I wanted to recognize that the reason I prefer the Silk brand is due to the non-GMO verification as well as no artificial colors, flavors or funny business.  Silk Fruit&Protein also is ideal in that it provides soy protein, calcium and vitamins C and D, no cholesterol or saturated fats and free of dairy, lactose, gluten, casein, egg and MSG.  My youngest has a severe type of asthma that is triggered by colds so any extra vitamins C and D is important to me.  She's also allergic to dairy products so Silk Fruit & Protein is the perfect choice.

My ultimate goal is to have two happy ones in the morning!  



Not only do I make sure they get enough sleep but I also make sure they are eating healthy.  It's a dynamic circle how the proper amount of rest, healthy foods and drinking water seems to affect their behaviors.  Since mornings can be our most trying time of the day, I like to wake them up with time to ease into the day.  Starting the morning with Strawberry Banana Silk Fruit&Protein is ideal since they love the tastes of milk, strawberries and bananas.  This gives them the kick start to get moving.  I often find having them help make breakfast is another good way to get them up and moving along with a review of the day's activities.  Another great use for this is to add ice cubes and blend for a quick smoothie as what kid doesn't love an icy drink especially for breakfast?



Silk Fruit&Protein also comes in Mixed Berry and Mango Peach which I will have to give it a try.  With summer around the corner, the varieties will make a nice refreshing change as well.  The beauty with Silk Fruit&Protein, it can be served anytime during the day.  Click this link to find Silk Fruit&Protein store locator and click to get this great money saving $1 off coupon for Silk Fruit&Protein.

Memory Foam Contour Pillow Pair Giveaway from My Waterbed Shop 5/4 - US - $79.90 Value


A good pillow really can help with a restful night's sleep and it can also cause jealousy especially when everyone wants to have a great pillow.  This is what happened when I was provided the opportunity to review a pair of Memory Foam Contour Pillows from My Waterbed Shop.  The story begins in that I gave them to my daughter who had just had her wedding to try them out with her husband.  Little did they know that their little two year old would fall in love with one of the pillows and not want to give it back.  My daughter said, 'these are the best pillows ever.'  Her and her husband liked that they were firm yet they molded to the shape of their heads and necks.  She really couldn't stop saying how nice they were and how they wouldn't ever go back to normal pillows again.  She also said normally she would have to use two pillows but with the firmness, she only needed one and said that she has had much more restful night's sleep with the Memory Foam Contour pillows.

The Memory Foam Contour Pillows have the following features:
  • Temperature Sensitive Memory foam gently softens and molds to your unique shape.
  • Contour shape supports your head and neck alignment
  • Includes Washable velour cover.
  • Excellent for use as travel pillow.
  • Medically beneficial
  • Hypo-allergenic
  • Standard size so no special sized pillow cases are needed

Another feature to note is they are very reasonable compared to some other foam contour pillows out there.  I did review another more expensive version and I did not notice any difference.  In fact, I thought the ones from My Waterbed Shop were softer while still providing the luxury of the memory foam.  




My Waterbed Shop offers everything you need for waterbeds along full waterbed bedroom sets, Boyd visco memory foam mattresses, air beds and air bed pumps mattresses.  To purchase or to learn more about the pillows, please click on the memory foam contour pillows link.

The Giveaway:

One reader will win a pair of the same pillows we were able to review.

To Enter, please use the Rafflecopter form below.  The giveaway ends 5/4 at midnight (EST) - winner must be reside in the US.
