My girls love dried fruit and veggies to snack on. NurturMe recently launched a new line of toddler snacks, Yum-A-Roos Organic Dried Fruit and Veggie Toddler Snacks, that we are excited to try. To celebrate the launch, they have created an App and are running a contest for an IPAD mini (more details below).

About Yum-A-Roos:
Big nutrition designed for little hands, NurturMe’s new Yum-a-Roo’s organic dry toddler snacks are made from bite-sized pieces of fruits and veggies that easily dissolve in the mouth. Tasty and good for little ones ages 1 year and older, Yum-a-Roo’s are extra nutritious since they contain veggies, in addition to fruit, and are dried – a NurturMe process that preserves the nutrients, freshness and flavor. Kiddos love the taste, and parents love that there’s 1.5 servings of fruits and/or veggies in every pouch. Yum-a-Roo’s are available in four flavors Tropical Twist (Banana, Mango and Pineapple), Caribbean Crop (Pea, Banana and Pineapple), Happy Harvest (Peas, Sweet Corn and Apple) and Bountiful Bites (Banana, Apple and Broccoli).
Yum A Roos can be purchased at a location near you or online at:
I’m always looking for educational Apps to keep my girls entertained on car rides, while waiting for doctors appointments or when they get restless while waiting to pay the bill at a restaurant. I was excited to learn NuturMe created a FREE IPhone/ IPad App for toddlers to celebrate the launch of Yum-A-Roos. “Roo” will teach toddlers about their favorite Fruit and Vegetables. The Yum-A-Roo App can be downloaded here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yum-a-roo/id656498831.

We just returned from a very hot week in the Outer Banks. I can’t really complain about the heat because we did not have a drop of rain and stayed on the beach from morning to night with brief breaks inside to snack or eat. With the amount of time we were playing in the sun, it was extremely important to make sure we were drinking enough water and fluids. I have never seen my girls go through so many water bottles. We went through 1/2 a case of water a day and quite a few 
Founder Mathilde Thomas was at the event to meet guests and talk about how the Caudalie beauty line began. Caudalie was founded in 1993 by Mathilde Thomas and her husband, Bertrand, during the harvest on her family’s vineyard, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, in France. She had a vision to create a natural beauty product based on what you eat and drink. Caudalie means the unit measuring the duration of the wine’s flavor on the palette. All the products are derived from the polyphenols extracted from the grape-seeds, the most powerful antioxidants grown. She often gets asked if it’s hard-working with her husband but she said it wasn’t, one creates while the other one sells the products.
My heart sank when I saw “Bunny”. My youngest couldn’t stop crying, her sister hurt bunny. She was trying to steal it away why bunny split down the belly. My oldest started crying because she felt horrible and it was sweet because she kept telling my youngest she could have her teddy to sleep with. I knew that wasn’t going to work and the other bunny wouldn’t work so I had to start surgery on bunny before we jumped in the car for a long ride to the beach. Both girls fell asleep because they had gotten so upset. An hour later surgery was complete. Bunny will have a scar but my youngest was relieved when she woke up to bunny next to her and was even more excited to have her for the long car ride.
