I don’t think there is a mother out there that does not know that letting your kids get creative with their food adds to the success of them actually eating it! I have two out of three kids that are picky. I learned a long time ago that letting them play with their food and have fun with it increased the likelihood of them actually consuming it!

One of the rare foods that I can make that will be eaten every time without fail is Tyson Chicken Nuggets. Seriously, even I help myself to a plate! These are the most flavorful, juiciest, more delicious nuggets on the market! And I am stocked at all times in my house. But I want them to try other things with them too. Like different dips and veggies and letting them create something fun can help me with my goals of all around healthier eating!

So, in the spirit of being so GRATEFUL that Spring has finally sprung, the girls and I headed to Walmart to find a fun way to play with our food. I, personally, wanted to try to get them to like some more ‘green’ things so I was on a secret mission. But they did not know this, of course!

As we walked in we noticed a tasting booth. I looked on the paperwork sitting there and realized it was for Tyson Chicken Nuggets! Right as I was leaving that area the woman who was running the booth said it would be set up in about an hour, And then she told me my kids could decorate nuggets right there in the store!! I was definitely sticking around for that one!

So my kids and I lazily shopped Walmart, picking up great deals on cute clothing and more. And then we headed to the gardening section to get flower pot inspiration!

We found the cutest pot and then added baking sticks and stickers to the cart! We also added Thousand Island dressing (which I have been trying to get them to eat for ever!) and two bags of Tyson Chicken Nuggets! The picking were slim in the Tyson area so it seems it is catching on that they are awesome!

By the time we were finished, the Tyson Nugget tasting event was on! My kids ate a nugget quickly and then got to decorate one right there in the store! It was so fun!

In the spirit of springtime we headed home to create our own springtime fun!

How to make a Tyson Chicken Nuggets Flower Pot

First, line the interior of the pot with plastic wrap. We want the nuggets to be eatable after we are done with our masterpiece!

Load the flower put with nuggets to make ‘dirt’. Once that is done, you can stick the bakers sticks into them. Cut them into different sizes to make the flowers multi dimentional. I cut sticks even shorter for the pickle ‘greenery’.

When decorating the nuggets, I used ketchup, mustard, honey mustard and Thousand Island dressing for color. We squirted it on and let them sit for a little while to ‘dry’ so we could minimize the dripping effect!

While we worked, Sarah made the cutest ladybug to sit in our pot! She used one of the baker sticks to draw his face on! Very creative, I thought!

Once the toppings on the nuggets were somewhat dry, we gently stuck them to the sticks. We put the little pickles on the smaller sticks, added Sarah’s ladybug and we were done!

How did we do?

‘Back to School’: A Useful Guide for Moms #MomsGuide

I can not believe it is time to start thinking about back to school! Glue sticks, packed lunches, new shoes and clothing… it is all so overwhelming! And for a mom who is still new to this process- my oldest starts 1st Grade this year – it can be confusing too!

I am already a little apprehensive about Back to School. This will be the first year that all three of mine will be in some sort of school. The little ones in Preschool – Megan’s first year! – and Katie in 1st. I am sure the chauffeur in me will be screaming by the end of week one but I am looking forward to some much needed time alone in the house.

I am also a little sad, though. My babies are growing up and though I know they will be so excited to be back in school, it is still bitter sweet!

Despite how I feel, however, the girls are excited and ready to G O! The older ones are already teaching Megan how to walk with her backpack and carry her lunch pack. They are playing teacher and student and Katie tells everyone that will listen that school is starting soon and she is a first grader!

I am also filled with a little fear, I admit! With all three going it is time to get organized and make sure that all three go to school with what they need. Like Tyson Chicken for their lunch, Elmer’s school products for their crafts and more and beautiful clothing from one of my favorite online shops, Cookie’s Kids! And let’s not forget about the amazing styles in store at Sear’s! I am already starting lists, cleaning out the hooks where their backpacks and lunch packs will hang, and preparing to be completely harried the first of the year!

As I am shopping online and preparing to head to stores, all three girls are next to me giving their opinions. And by opinions I mean, “I want that!” and “Get me that, mom!” But they are very instrumental in telling me what they would like! It is kind of fun, actually, as I am getting great ideas of their personal styles!

One place that I have discovered online that is helping me and my girls choose the best items, organize our thoughts and what we need and giving me great ideas to make back to school even more fun is the Back to School EGuide that I found online!

Open publication – Free publishing – More back to school

This is so super helpful for busy moms looking to start their kids Back to School experience off with a bang! Anyone sending a child or grandchild Back to School this year should take some time to look over these great products, read the expert tips and plan your back to school shopping like an expert!

We are already so busy with everything else that every useful tool helps! And the Back to School eGuide is one that I could not do this without!

And don’t forget to download your trusty 1st Day App from Elmer’s! Capture that 1st Day Photo and share it with everyone!
