Back-to-School Can Mean New Things for Mom Too!!! This sweepstakes completed 11/5/2008
It's certainly Back-To-School season but that doesn't mean mom doesn't need a fresh new pair of kicks too. Moms on the Move has partnered with Aetrex to give one lucky mom an awesome pair of sneakers.
 Aetrex has taken its 60-year history in technology and knowledge of the human foot and applied it to a new line of footwear including casual shoes and sneakers. Comfort is no longer sacrificed for style, design and performance. Aetrex knows running after those little ones is no easy task so they offer customized comfort through iStep, a digital foot analysis device (found in independent retailers across the country where Aetrex is sold), which measure everything from shoe size to arch type and pressure points, free of charge. After stepping on the iStep for 30 seconds, customers receive a “blueprint” of their feet, and recommendations for customized insoles. So when combined with an Aetrex shoe, they are getting footwear that is comfortable and customized for their footcare needs. .  Aetrex’s High Performance Collection retailed at $119.95 represents that highest standard in comfort, breathability and performance. The line includes ultra light-weight and sleek-styled runners, cross trainers and trail runners -- 15 designs for both men and women, made from technologically advanced materials to keep feet healthy, cool and dry. This line combines Aetrex’s unique pedorthic benefits, Mozaic Customization Technology, and advanced hi-tech materials and biomechanical features that provide the support, stability and shock attenuation needed during high impact activities.

Teach your children from the time that they can stand what I like to call "hands on the car". This is a "game" we play every time we get out of the car in a parking lot. As soon as they are out of the car they keep one hand on the car until I have myself together and we can all walk under control. It allows me to unpack the stroller, lock the car and un-strap kids without little ones wandering off. I know they are safe and it teaches unbelievable discipline. With 5 children, it has served me well and has kept everyone safe for years.

Three Winners - Five Prizes for each New Mom! This sweepstakes completed 6/30/2007 Three lucky winners will each win a prize pack valued over $50.00. Each winner will win the following great prizes from Moms On The Move™ and The First Years®!
The First Years® Soothie™ Bottle Starter Set
The First Years is bringing the popular Soothie brand to bottles! With the same nipple shape and feel as the trusted Soothie Pacifiers (2.5 millions distributed at hospitals annually), baby is able to transition to bottle feeding much easier. This Starter Set includes: three 5-oz bottles with Stage 1 nipples; two 9-oz bottles with Stage 2 nipples; three snack/formula containers; one bottle and nipple brush, and one newborn-sized Soothie Pacifier.
The Milk Storage Organizer helps keep breast milk safe and organized!
A spring-loaded drawer freezes milk in space-saving storage bags, all mom has to do is load the rack from the back for first-in, first out convenience! A drawer cover keeps breast milk isolated from other items in the freezer, or can be used to hold bags for extra storage. The Milk Storage Organizer is dishwasher-safe, works with most brands of milk storage bags, and maximizes space by freezing milk flat.
The Breastmilk Thaw & Warm Cup heats breast milk safer and faster, using just the kitchen sink!
Simply insert a frozen storage bag or bottle into the cup and run under a warm to hot tap. A temperature gauge indicates if the water is too hot, which can lead to a loss of important nutrients. Works with all bottles and milk storage bags.
Two (2) The First Years® Soothie™ Pacifiers
As the number-one pacifier, over 2.5 million are distributed in hospitals each year. The one piece design helps prevent germ accumulation. The pacifier is soft and latex free for maximum comfort for baby.
Two (2) The First Years® Soothie™ Pacifier Attacher (designs may vary)

I have my 14 year old teenager on a monthly allowance that is separate from any money earned. Not only does it teach him to manage his money better, but every time his mouth gets out of control, or he slacks up on his schoolwork, he has to pay ME money back out of the allowance (small amounts like 25 or 50 cents). It then goes into a jar that is in the living room. It is a constant reminder of thinking before you speak or act and you would be surprised how quick my son caught on to this. I know some people would say this is using bribery, but we have tried grounding and other methods and this seems to work the best for my child, as he, like any other teenage boy, likes his money. We plan on giving him the entire jar back with all of the contents when he graduates.

My kids love to help in the kitchen when I use the hand mixer to mix batter. The problem is they splatter batter all over the kitchen counter and wall. So I use a paper plate and cut a hole in the center and insert the mixers through that before attaching them. Now the kids can use the mixer and the paper plate catches the splatters.
Stephanie Wilkins
Create activities that keep your kids wanting to be all that they can be. We sat down as a family and all wrote out letters to ourselves telling ourselves where we would be in 10 years. We put the letters in envelopes and tucked them away and we will open them once ten years have passed to see how much of what we put on our letters we actually accomplish. We actually took this idea from one of the Chicago Bull players. I don't remember his name but he had written a letter saying he would be a point guard on the Chicago Bulls and his mom just now found the letter several years later. Truly Amazing .....

Home Barter System: We have a barter system in our home. My kids are welcome to ask for things that their allowance does not cover, but they must be willing to barter for them. When they tell me that they would like Item A my question is always "What's it worth to you?" They may be willing to wash the outside of the windows on our house for a CD or to catalog all the DVDs for a couple of movie tickets. They seem to appreciate the items more when they need to be creative and work outside of our regular routine to receive them. I hope it teaches the kids that there is always more than one way to accomplish a goal.

Stop the whining tattle tailing by having the kids write it down. The rules are: correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, neatness etc. Everything must be correct. When they begin to tattle, before they can get it out, just say-go write it down. Then they will either make the effort to write it down or they won't be bothered with it. This will teach them how to express themselves as well as writing skills, and they won't even know it. If something is wrong, have them make corrections before you hear them. I rarely hear tattling anymore.

Holiday Generosity: I want to teach my 4 year old son to be generous while he is young. About 2 weeks before Christmas, Santa sent him a letter stating that he has been a good boy, and that Santa needed his help. In keeping with the true meaning of Christmas, Santa reminded him about how when Jesus was born, the 3 wise men brought him gifts. With this in mind, Santa requested that my son put a box aside of toys that he no longer plays with that Santa could pick up on Christmas Eve when he brings my son his new toys. He explained that Santa would deliver them to children who had no toys at all. This not only teaches generosity, but helps prevent household clutter. I was so proud that my son filled up a big box!

Decision Free Dinners: I freeze meals ahead of time, and in order to keep all three of my kids happy about what's for dinner, we have a chart letting one child pick that evenings meal out of the freezer. Each morning the child who's name is on the chart is responsible for choosing and pulling the meal out of the freezer and putting in the fridge to thaw. That way, everyone gets to pick their favorite meal at least once a week, and I don't have to worry about deciding what's for dinner, or making sure it has properly thawed!

The Birth of TAGGIES
Julie, a young mother, recognized that her infant was often more interested in the satin tags on toys and clothing than the object itself. An early childhood teacher, she took the idea to a new level by creating a soft security blanket with assorted tags adorning all four sides. It was the first TAGGIE! Julie found that she had touched a nerve when moms from her child’s playgroup were clamoring for a TAGGIE. Danielle went even further, suggesting that they go into business together. Their first “commercial” venture, a craft show, sold out in two hours! And Taggies, Inc. was born!

Celebutante moisturizing dry-oil shimmer spray: Unless “work” means “sunbathing,” we don’t want to have any part of it in the summer. Unfortunately, we’re not that lucky. Not to worry: a few spritzes of this non-greasy, dry oil shimmer spray will give even the most office-dulled skin a glistening champagne-colored sheen. The avocado & apricot oils moisturize, while the Vitamin E works as an antioxidant to prevent premature signs of aging. Even better? The light coconut scent is convincing enough to have anyone believe you’ve just spent a day lounging in the summer sun…you’re just that fabulous.
Summer Fling- Pale Peachy Pink Lip Sheer: Wear these budgeproof moisturizing lip sheers 24.7- The moisturizing blend of Vitamin E, mango & cocoa butter is perfect for those soft summer smooches And for the heat you’d rather avoid (aka the sun’s harsh UV rays), SPF 15 provides an layer of protection with the added bonus of a light scent of refreshing mint.
Slide-tin lip balm: Treatment lovers rejoice! Vitamin-E & avocado packed lip balm formula is SO good for your lips! Luckily, the old-school slide tin and the exciting and vibrant flavors keep you from feeling too grown-up and make your lips long for more!
Hotel Heiress Powder Bronzer: We know… it’s so hard to attain the sun-burnished glow of the girl who summers on the East Hampton-Palm Beach-St. Bart’s circuit. This luxe bronze comes pretty close: just add pearls and a sweater set for instant uptown chic.

MONSTER SPRAY -- Each night before going to bed, my child and I spray our "Monster Spray" around the bedroom. The spray consists of nothing but water in a dollar store spay bottle. My child's fear of monsters lurking in her room are lessened as she sprays everywhere that she thinks they may hide. The end result is a restful nights' sleep for both of us.

Invent Your Own Camp -- Summer is a time when kids are bored after the first week of freedom. Camps can be expensive, so if you refuse to spend hundreds of dollars week after week, invent your own camp. Find books that have tons of age-appropriate activity ideas for your child(ren). Then, schedule an activity or two every day, including art projects, learning about a foreign country, brushing up on manners, learning a card game or even writing a poem. Keep to a schedule, including lunch and snack time.

Nutritional Fear Factor - How to get your little ones to eat veggies, new foods or healthy foods: Play Fear Factor with them. Place 2-3 bites of something (radish, liver, asparagus or whatever you want them to try) on each plate. If they get through all of the stages, they get an award (print one off of the computer) and a special dessert. They will have tried new items as well as feeling proud that they have accomplished something.

Saving, Spending & Giving -- In an effort to teach my boys about the value of money, we came up this a system of saving, spending and giving. At the beginning of the year the kids pick a charity (they pick a different one each year which helps them learn about different charities as well)then whenever they get any money (allowance, gifts or earned), they put 10% in their charity jar, 30% into their savings jar, and the rest they can spend. At the end of the year, they give the money they saved to their charity. We encourage them to keep their saved money and we place it in a savings account to be added to each year. They are very proud that they have helped a charity, and to see how much they have saved at the end of the year. They also seem to be very careful of what they spend their money on now. They tend to look for sales just like Mom.

If your little one frequently comes too close to the stove when you're cooking, trace his footprints on paper and tape down to where it is safe for him to stand and watch. Little ones love to show off their

I used to have a shirt with strings of wooden beads sewn on in a row so when at a Doctors office or someplace that I had to sit that was public, my sons could play and would stay quiet on my lap

If you have a toddler or young child with a tendency to tantrum, set up a cozy corner with pillows, blankets, and soft toys in a central spot of your house. Then, if your toddler has a tantrum, you can put them in this safe place until they calm down. It can be as effective as a time out for the young ones and it is a safe place for them even if they decide to throw the pillows or soft toys. Plus, if it is centrally located, you will be able to continue with your daily tasks while keeping an eye on your child until he/she calms down.

I started a whining jar at my house. Each time the kids started whining, they had to put a dime in the jar. They can get the dime from their piggy bank or from around the house but they have to find a dime and put it in the jar. This worked wonders. They don't want to put the change they find in their, they would rather save it with the rest of their piggy money.

If your little one has a hard time going down for a nap, try the nap fairy! The nap fairy comes only when the child is sleeping and leaves a little treat or dollar-store toy at child's place at the table. It gets the child excited to take a nap and no harm is done because children usually have a snack when they wake up anyway. I put snack treats in a plastic zip bag and put some stickers on the outside.

Stop the whining tattle tailing by having the kids write it down. The rules are: correct grammar, spelling,punctuation, neatness etc.Everything must be correct.When they begin to tattle,before they can get it out, just say-go write it down. Then they will either make the effort to write it down or they won't be bothered with it. This will teach them how to express themselves as well as writing skills, and they won't even know it. If something is wrong, have them make corrections before you hear them. I rarely hear tattling anymore.

Just wanted to say I received the doll and she's wonderful. Thank you so much for hosting this contest!!"

"I just wanted to let you know that we received the Corolle Bebe Do yesterday. The girls love her and believe it or not they are sharing without any fights. Gabby (20 months) is the mommy and Kayla (3) is the auntie/sitter. By the time I got home (Daddy daycare Friday) the baby was naked but well feed and in the middle of a diaper change. Thank you for the contest. "

My 3-year-old is picky eater so I supplement with 1/2 pediasure, 1/2 whole milk with a squirt of chocolate to make sure she's getting enough nutrients.

Embarassed about discussing the birds and the bees with your child? Try having the conversation in the car! That way your child won't notice if you turn red or seem uncomfortable and they will feel more comfortable opening up because you aren't staring.
Paula Hafner
When kids are playing with small toys such as legos, spread a blanket on the floor first. When cleaning up simply pick up the corners of the blanket and pour the toys back into their container.
Sarah Hirsch
For little ones who refuse to try new foods, try renaming the item in question to resemble the name of something they like. Often, your child may take at least one bite of candy drops even if he won't try the dried cranberries.
