Dr. Seuss Recipes And Activities Your Kids Will Love

What child doesn’t grow up with Dr. Seuss books? We have quite a few of them lying around the house. The kids love the silly characters and the rhymes. The Dr. Seuss inspired recipes and activities that I’m about to share with you have been a great hit in our house. Of course the famous green eggs and ham are included, but there are also quite a few other snack and meal ideas. Create a fun Dr. Seuss inspired afternoon with some of these recipes and of course don’t forget to read a few of the books with your kids. (If you don’t own any, enjoy a trip to your local library.)

Green Eggs and Ham
This has to be the most famous Dr. Seuss inspired dish. Scramble a few eggs, add a couple of drops of blue food coloring to the mixture and cook as usual. You can serve a warmed up slice of ham with it, and if you want to go all out, brush the ham with a little green food coloring.

My kids love either biscuits, or mashed potatoes with this dish. Add a little food coloring (either green, or a complimentary color like red) to the biscuit dough or the finished mashed potatoes for even more fun.

Cat in The Hat Snack
Make the Cat’s Hat for a fun snack. All you need is a few Ritz crackers, gummy lifesavers (preferably in white/clear and red) and a little vanilla frosting. Put the Ritz cracker on a plate. Use a little bit of vanilla frosting to glue the first lifesaver on the cracker. “Glue” more lifesavers on top of the first one alternating between red and white.

These snacks are so cute; you may want to take a picture of your child’s creation before it is devoured.

Wiggly Fish
This snack was inspired by  “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish”. Prepare several different colors of Jello according to package directions and pour each flavor into a shallow pan. Use a fish shaped cookie cutter to cut the Jello into fish shapes.  (If you don’t have a fish shaped cookie cutter you could also just cut fish shapes with a knife.) You can also add small pieces of fruit to the Jello mixture before it cools. This is a great way to sneak an extra serving of fruit into your child’s diet.

Pink Ink for The Yink
The Yink in “One Fish, Two Fish” love to drink pink ink. Make your own version by combining a few strawberries (either fresh, or frozen and thawed) and some milk in a blender. Add a few drops of red food coloring if the “ink” isn’t pink enough.

A Fruity Hat For The Cat
How about this for a fun Sunday breakfast? Whip up a batch of silver dollar pancakes and cut up some fresh strawberries. Grab some whipped cream and let the kids assemble the Cat’s hat by stacking pancakes, and strawberries on top of each other using the whipped cream as “glue”.

Enjoy a few of these Dr. Seuss recipes and activities with your family, or invite a few neighbor kids over for a Dr. Seuss party. Either way they are a lot of fun and a great way to bring some of the Seuss stories to life.

About Raw Food Diet

The raw food diet means eating unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, etc. It means a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Cooking takes out flavor and nutrition from vegetables and fruits. A raw food diet means eating more the way our ancient ancestors did. Our healthier, more fit ancestors.

They cooked very little, and certainly didn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables. They ate them RAW. Their water wasn’t from a tap; it was natural, spring water. Maybe they drank some coconut milk on occasion.

Doesn’t it just make sense that this is how our bodies were meant to eat? It’s a way of eating that’s in harmony with the planet and in harmony with our own metabolisms. Our bodies were meant to work, and need to work to be efficient. That means exercise, certainly, but it also means eating natural, raw foods that require more energy to digest them.

Fr*ee Video

Beat the Recession with eCommerce

This video dramatically reminds people of the severity of our current economic situation, and then provides the facts about a very real solution: eCommerce, the only remaining recession-proof marketplace!

Started Raw Food Diet

Have you started hearing about the Raw Food Diet? It’s gaining popularity and buzz, not just as a diet to lose weight, but a diet for a long and healthy life. We eat so much in the way of processed food that we don’t even stop to think about what we’re putting into our bodies, and how far we’ve come nutritionally from our ancestral, agrarian roots.

A raw food diet means consuming food in its natural, unprocessed form. There are several common-sense rationales for why this is a good idea. Processing and cooking food can take so much of the basic nutritional value away.

Think of some of the conventional wisdom you’ve heard about for years, such as: If you cook pasta just to the al dente (or medium) stage, it will have more calories, yes, but it will have more the nutritional value in it than if you cooked it to a well-done stage. Or you probably remember hearing not to peel carrots or potatoes too deeply, because most of the nutrients and values are just under the surface.

Pumpkin Carving Made Easy

Fall is fast approaching and that means pumpkins. As far as the eye can see, fields will be filled with the orange colored delights. Thousands of pumpkins will be carved this year for contests and the front porch. Here are some ideas to make pumpkin carving less of a mess and more fun.

For the novice, it is enough to be able to cut out a design that others can recognize. Most people take any old pumpkin and a kitchen knife that could slice off their nose to practice their pumpkin carving skills. This is a mistake many of us make.

First, deciding on the size and scope of the design for the pumpkin determines the size and shape of the pumpkin used. Elaborate scenes (usually out of the expertise of an amateur) may require a fat squat looking pumpkin. Witches on brooms do well with tall thinner pumpkins.

Draw the design on a piece of tracing paper. Using tracing paper makes it easier to see through to the pumpkin when it comes time to transfer the design. Using an X-acto blade or a sharp knife, score the pumpkin through the design on the paper. Scoring makes carving a lot simpler. And, simple is what we are going for.

The majority of the work is done. Kids also like to come up with their own designs for pumpkin carvings and they can use the same method. With kids and most adults, the better choice for carving would be a pumpkin carving kit.

Pumpkin carving kits take into account the fact that we are clumsy people. No one wants to end up with body parts inside the pumpkin. The tools are great for slicing through the soft flesh of a pumpkin but friendly to our fingers and hands. As always, when using any sort of cutting tool, cut away from the body to avoid accidents.

Electric carving tools are available on the market. This simplifies the process even more. Just turn in on and let it do all the work. Don’t let the tool get away from you or it will shred your pumpkin before you can say, “Boo!”

Pumpkin carving is a time honored tradition for fall. Towns that hold fall festivals award major prizes for the best carving in each of several categories. Just because you are not the Rembrandt of pumpkin carving doesn’t mean the prize for Funniest Looking or Most Original won’t go to you.

Pumpkin carving doesn’t have to be a hard task. The purpose is to have fun and create something new and exciting. Following a few safety precautions means a safer autumn activity for all involved.

Health Breakfast On Road Trip With Low Sugar

Road trips are good, old-fashioned family fun, a time of bonding and sight-seeing, right? Right! Unless, of course, you are packing the kids full of sugar and the energy highs and lows that follow. The most important meal of the day being breakfast, it is important to pack things in the cooler that will get everyone off to a happy and healthy start. There are many foods that will assist you in enjoying your road trip, even with the little ones. Here below:

Bran Muffins
Hard boiled eggs
Snacks and Peanuts
Trail mix

When it comes to drinks, watch out! Those cute little drink boxes will bring the sugar gauge up, up, up! Opt for bottled water or cartons of milk. Fresh squeezed juice is good, as well.

There are many options for keeping the sugar down on the road. You will enjoy a much more pleasant family vacation by packing these and saving the sweets for a time when you are not packed together in the car. Healthy traveling is happy traveling!

Run Bran Buds Muffins On Whell

Bran muffins are great. Kids like them since they look like cupcakes and you can add a bit of honey to sweeten for the pickier palette. Baking them as mini muffins will be easier for littler hands. The following is my favorite recipe for these little wonders.

Ingredients:

2 cups boiling water
2 cups Bran Buds cereal
1 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 quart buttermilk
5 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
5 tsp. baking soda
4 additional cups Bran Buds cereal
1 cup raisins


Instructions:

  • Mix 2 cups boiling water with 2 cups Bran Buds cereal in a large bowl. Mix and allow cooling in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the recipe.
  • Cream shortening, sugar, eggs, and buttermilk.
  • Add cooled mixture.
  • Add flour, salt, baking soda, additional 4 cups Bran Buds, and raisins. Mix thoroughly.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes in greased muffin pans.

Health Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are another road trip breakfast that will eliminate the sugar woes. Hard boil the eggs and wrap them in cooked bacon the night before. Place in the cooler and when it is time to eat them, they will be full of the bacony flavor to be enjoyed by all.

Snack Kids Favorite On Travel

At the family traveling, while on road trip, snack bags of cereal are fun for the kids. They will be fun for you as well if you choose the right ones. Cheerios, granola cereals, and Kix mixed together in a bag are fun grab and go mini meals.

Beside, another snack kids favorite is peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat bread are another option that keeps the sugar low and tolerance high.

Making Your Own Trail Mix

Trail mix also good for breakfast on road trip, but be careful if you are buying the pre made type as some of this is loaded with sugar. Making your own is a better idea. Include dried fruits, nuts, and seeds, leaving out the M&Ms found in many of the store bought bags.

This skill can recession-proof your income

You might be tempted to doubt what I am about to say, and I don't really blame you.

I know that this is really hard to believe for some of you.

In fact, for those of you who are the must "see to believe" type, you need to go to:

http://www.hb2k.com/allstars.htm

For the rest of you, here's the scoop:

You see, when I was first starting out online, if someone would have told me that my total success or failure depended on my ability to master one certain skill, I would have laughed right in their face.

However, over the years I have just seen it proven time and time again.

I'm talking in-your-face, without-a-doubt proof that no one in the world could dispute.

That's why I feel confident now telling you that if you have - or can acquire - this skill you can protect yourself against this so-called recession and finally experience the greatest financial success in your business you've ever imagined.

What is this skill?

It's web traffic generation.

How do you acquire this skill?

Well, the best and truly fastest way is to learn from those who are considered "Masters".

The "Masters" are those who have been in the trenches for years and years. They have all the battle scars.  They've even come up with many new methods and have coined phrases that many of us use each and every single day.

The "Masters" are a small elite group of marketers who have practically devoted their lives and businesses to generating massive amounts of traffic on the Internet.

So bottom line - these "Masters" are truly the best mentors anyone can find.

Who are these people?

See who these "Masters of Web Traffic" are for yourself:

In the field of web traffic, there are no better mentors than the extremely talented and successful Traffic 'All-Stars' below.

These are individuals who are generating millions of visitors - and dollars - while others are busy licking their economic wounds and trying to repair their broken businesses.

What if you could get them all together - at one time - to share with you exactly how they are doing it?

Think about it...

This way you could learn what methods they use, what steps they take, how much they do or don't spend, and basically the very actions they take on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to ensure they never have to even let the word "recession" enter their vocabulary.

Even better...what if you could get them to do it... for F.R.E.E.?

I'm serious.

Yes, this is really going to happen.

Dearl Miller of 'Trafficology' is going to get all these individuals together to participate in a FREE LIVE 'All-Stars of Traffic Marathon' where they will share the precise methods, strategies, and  tactics they themselves are using right now to generate floods of new visitors to their own personal sites.

Ethical Home Business Owners- How do you know if you will be supported?

Have you ever had a conversation with someone who talks about another person and they do so in an unkind manner? The type of conversation they would not be having if the other person was actually there listening. They're basically talking behind their back. Why someone does this I'm not sure, could it be a feeling of inferiority, insecurity, inadequacy, malice... I don't know and without getting into a psychological debate as to why a person would do such a thing, let's just say that in the end, it's a lack of ethics.

I have come across such individuals in the past and the one thing that always struck me is the fact that these perpetrators don't seem to realize that they're their worst own enemies. When I see someone talking behind someone else's back, it immediately shows me that when I turn my back and walk away, this same person could very well start talking behind my back. And further more, it tells me I do not want to associate myself with such a person. This is the kind of company I do not want to mix with. I value ethics and respect which makes me associate with people of same mind set. I enjoy, and make a point, of maintaining empowering thoughts as consistently as possible and keeping the company of "back talkers" is not empowering my thought process at all.

In the world of home based business, the subject of ethics is extremely important because it involves competing factors which could easily push a business owner to diminish their competitor. They will talk behind their back. So when you're researching a business and shop around for the right person who will potentially become your mentor and you see them start to de-value others in order to boost themselves up, it should raise a big red flag on this person's ethics. If they're not confident enough about their ability to support you that they must shrink the competition in order to enlarge their appearances, you might ask yourself if you're talking with the right person. The "back talker" is ethically challenged and this is not the person you want to start a business with.

So when researching your perfect choice for a home based business opportunity, whether it's a travel home based business or any other genuine and scam-free online or home based business, do pay attention to the "back talkers". Ask them about their competitors and see what they have to say. If you see any indications of trying to boost themselves over others, feel free to talk back to the "back talkers" and say "no thank you, I don't think you can watch my back!

Y'all come back now!

Another important thing for you to consider when starting a home business, is to do something you are really passionate about. This is because you will put greater effort without any difficulty because you already really love doing this.

How to Attract More Readers to Your Mom Blog

If you've been on the Internet for more than 5 minutes, you've probably heard of the ever growing popularity of the "mom blog." You may even have one yourself. Mom blogs are great ways to connect with other moms, share your thoughts and feelings on being a mom, and maybe even make a little dough (not the kitchen variety this time) too.

One problem many moms have is getting people to read and participate their blogs. After all, without readers you can't do any of the things mentioned above with your blog. So, how do you attract more readers to your mom blog? And, once you have them how do you keep them there? Here are a few tried and true ways to increase readership and maybe even make some life long online buds in the mom community.

Be Yourself
No one likes to read a blog that is nothing but a copy and paste of articles, news topics, and pictures. Yes, those things are interesting, but to really get people coming back for more you have to show them you are a real person. Don't be afraid to let them in and give readers a taste of the true you. If you have an opinion on something don't be afraid to share it, after all it is YOUR blog so it should represent the person you really are.

Hold a Contest or Giveaway
There's nothing moms like more than getting free stuff they can actually use. As a mom yourself you probably have or know people who would be willing to donate prizes to a contest or giveaway on your blog. Think of something fun and create or do a random drawing from those who post comments. Get creative and come up with something other moms would be happy to enter and happier to tell their friends about.

Post Reviews
People love to know if something works or doesn't work before they decide to buy. Have you used products that you think are the greatest thing since sliced bread? Or maybe you want to warn others to steer clear of something you wished you hadn't wasted your money on. Either way, let your readers know. There are even companies that love to send product samples to mommy bloggers specifically for their opinions. Your opinion does matter, especially because you're a mother.

Create a Recipe of the Day Section
If there's one thing all moms are looking for it's something different for dinner. To feed your reader's hunger for new meal ideas as well as their family's bellies, set up a section on your blog dedicated solely to recipes. Post a new recipe once a day. It doesn't take long and you don't have to write all (or any) of the recipes yourself if you don't want to thanks to private label rights (PLR) content.

Mommy blogs are created and visited by others for many reasons, but if yours is informative, comical, shows the true you and gives moms what they are looking for, chances that more readers will come are higher. Enjoy your mommy blog and make it your home sweet home on the web where friends feel welcome and love coming back.

Web Hosting Checklist for Moms

Web Hosting Checklist for Moms: This Decision Can Make or Break your Business

If you're a work at home mom, you may also have struggled with finding reliable web hosting. Well, over the years (and many headaches later), I've come up with a checklist of essentials that your web host must have before you even consider working with them.

1. Excellent Reliability.
There is nothing more frustrating than finding out your website is down, and has been for hours. Although no time is a good time to have your site down, the timing can be just terrible. That sinking feeling when you've purchased advertising and you know the ad is about to be sent out and you go to your website for last minute touches and … it's down.

That is not cool. That is not acceptable. You must make sure that the web host you select not only has good reliability, but superior reliability. This is your business on the line, not some hobby site. Treat it as such and get hosting that works for you when you need it. But, you can't just trust a website that says they are reliable. Make sure they can prove it.

2. Superior Customer Support.
When you do need help, make sure that your hosting will provide it. One thing I recommend is to contact support to ask a simple question about the hosting, before buying. That will give you an idea of what the customer service is like before you make a commitment. Yes, customer service has a difficult job – making sure they do not confuse less-experienced customers, yet, at the same time, also making sure not to talk down to the geek types. However, you should never feel like you are a "bother" or that your question is not as important as anyone else's.. or worse, dumb. You should find a web host with superior customer support.

3. The Stats You Need.
Several of the most popular hosts do not offer the web stats that every online business needs. You may not think that you need stats, but, how else are you going to know what is working – and what is not? You need stats that tell you where your visitors are coming from, how long they are staying, and which pages they are coming in and going from. Does your web host offer that? If they have a CPanel as their control panel, they do. Find a web host that uses a standard CPanel.

4. Affordable.
Why spend more if you don't have to? When looking for a web host, price is always a factor. So, shop around and make sure that the web host you decide upon offers a great price.

5. Room to Grow.
The web host you choose should offer unlimited hosting. This means, that, if you add more websites to your package down the road, the price does not increase drastically for each one. Many online businesses start with one site and grow over time. Can your host grow with you?

6. Bandwidth and Disk Space.
Also, make sure that the host you choose is in the ballpark for bandwidth and disk space. Most programs offer approximately the same amount, but, especially if you plan to add a lot of audio or video, be sure to look into this, as well.

7. A History of Happy Customers.
New hosting companies are popping up daily. Some are being run by a couple of teenagers in their garage. Obviously, that's not who I want to entrust my business to. Do you? I want to know that the company I'm choosing has been around a few years, and has a history of happy customers to show for it. I don't think that's too much to ask, and you shouldn't either.

Those are the key features that any web host should offer before you consider doing business with them. Choosing a web host can be more important than any other decision you make in your online business – if you choose wrong. So, take the time and find a web host that will work with you, and help you to succeed.

Nicole Dean is co-owner of Mom Webs Hosting - http://www.hb2k.com/momwebs.htm where you'll find the host that offers everything a work at home mom needs – reliability, unlimited hosting, and customer service that never makes you feel intimidated -- all at a price you can afford.
