Let's Say Thanks | Xerox‏

This only takes a minute to do.

How wonderful it would be to receive one of these cards, while they are away from their family and friends.

Let’s send some cards!!

Let’s Say Thanks.

XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL AGAIN THIS YEAR

If you go to this web site, http://www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to troops around the globe wherever they are deployed - including Iraq, Afghanistan and Asia.

All of the cards are designed and created by children. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. How Amazing it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one.

It is FREE and only takes a few seconds.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our soldiers over there need to know we are behind them. This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you.

Please take the time and please take the time to pass it on for others to do.

We can never say enough thank you's.

Cash for Home Appliances!!!

Cash for Refrigerators!

The government has a new stimulus program!! The federal "Cash for Appliances"program offers rebates on purchases of home appliances that are certified as energy-efficient by the EPA's Energy Star Program! (These appliances usually have a Energy Star Sticker on them).

The program is funded with $300 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the state-run rebate program is intended to help make American homes more energy-efficient while stimulating the economy. Each state will run its own cash for appliances program.

Energy Star appliances eligible for the rebate include:

• Washers
• Refrigerators
• Freezers
• Dishwashers
• Air Source Heat Pumps and Geothermal Heat Pumps
• Water Heaters
• Boilers
• Central Air Conditioners
• Room Air Conditioners
• Oil Furnaces and Gas Furnaces

You can receive between $50 to $200 in Energy Star appliance rebates! However, your state or local utility company/district may offer you an additional discount or rebate for buying andusing energy efficient appliances!
You don't have to trade in your old appliance, but your state will help you to find ways to recycle them!

The program is set to start late this year, or early next year, so just keep an eye out for more news, and keep in mind when searching for appliances!

Baby Registry Essentials!

Below is a list of BABY SHOWER REGISTRY Must Haves. For all my mommies to be and baby shower planners... check out this list below and ensure you have the essentials for Baby's Arrival!

• Diapers: Whether you're going the re-usable or disposable route, you'll need plenty on hand.
• Burp cloths (fabric diapers can also double as burp cloths).
• Disposable wipes. Diaper rash cream
• Diaper pail
• Diaper bag: Make sure it hangs well from your stroller handlebars.
• Baby monitor
• 1 or 2 pacifiers, if you want to use them. Be sure to get ones labeled "newborn."
• Portable crib, commonly known as a Pack 'n Play, for when you visit the grandparents.
• Co-sleeper. It's so nice to just reach over to nurse your baby at night. But you can easily substitute the portable crib if it's easier.
• 6 bottles, including nipples: Make sure you buy nipples for newborns.
• Bottle brush
• Breast pump: Go for the fancy automatic double pump if you're going back to work.
• Breastfeeding pillow
• Nursing pads
• Lanolin lotion for sore nipples
• Breast milk freezer bags or storage cups
• Thermometer. The rectal kind.
• Nasal bulb syringe for clearing stuffy noses
• Baby nail clipper
• Alcohol swabs and bandages
• Infant bath tub
• Baby shampoo and cleanser
• Baby lotion
• 2 to 3 hooded towels that let you swaddle baby post-bath
• Crib
• ExerSaucer. You won't use it for a few months, but once your baby hits 4 or 5 months, it will blow his little mind.
• Swing or bouncy seat. The movement makes almost all babies very, very sleepy.
• Activity mat (also called the baby gym)
• Mobile for the crib: Think music, lights and movement. We like ones you can turn off remotely.
• Crib bumper
• 2 to 3 fitted crib sheets
• 2 waterproof mattress pads
• 2 or 3 changing pad covers
• A rear-facing infant car seat with base. If you have two cars, you'll need a second base.
• Baby carrier and/or sling
• Stroller: Baby won't sit up for a few months, so you'll need a Snap 'n Go, a travel system or a model in which baby can fully recline.
• A "take-me-home" outfit. Look for a set that's cute for photos, but practical (something warm for winter or light for summer).
• 6 to 8 onesies, half short sleeve and half long sleeve. Choose kimono styles that don't pull over baby's head to cut down on screams.
• 5 pairs of pants
• 6 to 8 sleepers (aka coveralls) with built-in footies, or rompers if it's spring or summer
• 5 to 6 sleeping gowns, which snap5 to 6 sleeping gowns, which snap, zip, or cinch closed at the bottom, making late-night diaper changes a breeze.
• At least 3 sleeping gowns should have built-in mittens to cover fast-growing baby fingernails and avoid scratches on smooth baby skin.
• 1 to 3 sweater cardigans or zip hoodies, depending on the season
• 1 snowsuit or winter bunting (for winter babies)
• 1 to 2 pairs of mittens if they aren't included in the snowsuit (for winter babies)
• 8 pairs of booties or socks
• 4 to 6 hats, including at least one sun hat
• 4 to 6 receiving blankets. One should be soft and thick enough to be a blankie contender; two should be thin enough for your diaper bag.
• 4 to 6 bibs. At least two should be waterproof. Once baby starts solids, you'll need something you can just hose off.
• Velcro swaddle. This crucial miracle item may be the key to peace in your household.
• Sleep sac, for when baby outgrows the swaddle or sleep gowns, but is still too young for a blanket in the crib.

Grilled Chicken Bruschetta

I love Kraftfoods.com and their recipes. I am a very picky eater, and each time I try a dish, I am not disappointed!

They are easy, fast and most of all (in the words of Dora The Explorer) delicioso!

The latest recipe I tried was their Grilled Chicken Bruschetta. We wanted something different, so DH fired up the grill. My daughter and I prepared the chicken, DH grilled it up, and I finished my whole plate.

What You Need!
4 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 lb.)
1/4 cup KRAFT Sun-Dried Tomato Dressing, divided
1 tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried basil leaves

Make It!
PLACE large sheet of heavy-duty foil over half of grill grate; heat grill to medium heat. Meanwhile, place chicken in resealable plastic bag. Add 2 Tbsp. dressing; seal bag. Turn bag over several times to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 10 min. Remove chicken from bag; discard bag and dressing.

GRILL chicken on uncovered side of grill 6 min. Meanwhile, combine remaining dressing, tomatoes, cheese and basil.

TURN chicken over; place, cooked-side up, on foil on grill. Top with tomato mixture. Close lid. Grill 8 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).

Kraft Kitchens Tips
Serving Suggestion
Serve with buttered egg noodles and grilled or steamed vegetables.

Don't Say Baby

This has to be the most popular Baby Shower Game Ever! It’s very traditional, easy to play, and fun for all involved. Is great as an icebreaker as well!

Never say "Baby"

Supplies: Baby Safety Pins or Baby Clothespins or even Pacifier Necklaces.

Directions:

1. When each guest arrives, provide her with a safety pin, clothespin, or necklace.
2. Give each guest instructions on how the game is played
3. Whenever someone says the word "baby" during the shower, any woman who calls it out gets a pin from the other woman who stated the word.
4. At the end of the baby shower, the woman with the most pins wins a prize.

Strawberry Chocolate Diaper Cake w/ Matching Stork Basket

Check out the newest addition to our family!

.:: The Strawberry Chocolate Diaper Cake ::..

This was made especially for Baby Sanai, due August 2009! The baby shower decor was pink, brown and white. A lot of the items on the baby shower registry were pink and brown, so we baked up a diaper cake to match!

The diaper cake includes: about 70 Size 2 Diapers, Desition Diaper Rash Cream, 2 Johnson's and Johnson's Baby Lotion, Johnson's and Johnson's Baby Wash, Johnson's and Johnson's Shampoo, 3 Washcloths, 3 Washcloth Lollipops, and a very very Soft Pink Teddy Bear! We topped it off by adding Sanai's name to the cake in pink letters.

The cake matched perfectly with the decor, and was a perfect centerpiece.

Along with the diaper cake, we decided to throw in a matching item.

.:: The Strawberry Chocolate Stork Basket::..

The Stork Basket includes 10 Size 2 Diapers, A Fleece Blanket,

and a cute little resuable bow. For this one, we also added safety pins embellishments.

TOT POPS are HERE!

Although we have been pretty busy behind the scenes... we have had the time to develop a Brand New Product!!! This time it's made especially for toddlers.
