Fiber One Bars and a Spa Break Giveaway!
I am not a snack bar kind of person. Granola bars generally make me gag, and as much as I might like to be satisfied by a breakfast or snack bar, it's just not my first choice. Ever.
The Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Chewy bars are making me reconsider though. Let's start with the obvious. If you're looking for a way to add fiber to your diet, then look no further. One of these bars provides 35% of your recommended daily intake of fiber. If you're watching your weight or trying to get in better shape, an increase in fiber is a must. Here is one tasty way to do it.
The Fiber One chewy bars have the consistency of a Rice Krispie treat with the flavor of rich chocolate and just a hint of coffee (mocha) flavor. I ate one (without any gagging), and actually returned for more the next day. Even if you're not the bar eating type of person, you might want to give the Fiber One bars a try. Plus, did you see what's in them? That's right, chocolate.
The only negative about these bars is that they contain the newly-determined-to-be-evil- high fructose corn syrup. That's the only negative I could find. So, if like the popsicle commercials on TV, you're not that worried about corn syrup, then I highly recommend you give these a try.
If you'd like to find out if you're getting enough fiber in your diet, you can check out this handy Fiber-O-Meter here. If you'd like to try the bars for yourself, you can download a coupon for $1.35 off one box here.
In addition, we have a special giveaway to offer you! Three lucky winners will be receiving a "Spa Break" basket in the mail like this one:
Each basket contains a fantastic bath pillow (I've tried mine so I know), chocolate scented soap and lotion, bath salts, and a coffee scented candle. Winners will also receive a coupon to try the Fiber One bars for free. To be entered to win, leave a comment below telling us why you need a spa break. Winners will be chosen and announced in one week! Good luck to you!

Bella Sara Treasures and Miniatures
A couple months ago, we received some Bella Sara trading cards to review. My daughter instantly loved them. Without even logging on to the website, she spent days carrying them around and keeping them out of her sister's evil grasp.
Once we went online, feeding and taking care of her horses was a real hit. The site is well designed, fun, and offers great background music. After time though, she sort of forgot about logging in. Plus, taking care of 15 horses, even virtual ones, was a lot of work.
Recently we received Bella Sara Treasures and Miniatures in the mail. The miniatures are exactly what you think they are, miniature versions of the Bella Sara horses. They only stand about 1.5 inches in height and each miniature comes with a little plastic stand. The miniatures were a big hit with the girls. They are definitely cute; but there are some negatives.
First, the miniatures have a funny kind of smell to them. I couldn't place it exactly but I think it's related to the materials used and maybe the paints? The other negative is that while the girls initially adored them, they are so teeny tiny that neither of my girls have any idea where their horses are right now. I'm sure that when we organize the toy chest, they'll turn up, but if I'm being completely honest, this is one of those things that drive mothers insane. They are tiny and easily become lost. Because of this, I would recommend the miniatures for only serious collectors of the cards and other products.
The Bella Sara Treasures are the eighth line of trading cards. These cards, as with the previous lines, are full of color and pretty things that all girls love. Each card features some type of treasure that the Bella Sara horses love and protect. The Treasures opens up new activities and excitement in the online Bella Sara world. In addition to the fun that can be had by having these cards, Bella Sara is offering some additional excitement for fans.
Currently, Bella Sara is running a contest. The lucky winner will receive their own personal treasure hunt for themself and friends. If you are interested in finding out more about the Bella Sara Miniatures and Treasures line, or if you'd like to win the contest, please visit here for more information. But hurry! The contest ends April 30th.

Johnsons No More Tears 50th Anniversary
![JJ_NMT_50yr_Logo1[1][1]](/.a/6a00d8341c0f9b53ef011279050ab028a4-pi.jpg)
As I sit to write this post, my son is currently taking a bubble bath. He is, of course, using the new JOHNSON'S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash. That's because I only use Johnson's products for him. Over the past four plus years, I have been given other bath products, but I can't use them. I'm sure they are quality products, but for me, Johnson's is the bath time product of choice. I like the smell of baby after a bath using Johnson's products. Forever will I think of my son's first bath in his little newborn tub when I smell Johnson's products. I can remember the frightened look in his eyes when I placed him in there and how suddenly he seemed to relax as I poured the warm water over him. Memories like these are what make us go back to the products we love.
Johnson's is currently celebrating their 50th Anniversary with two new products…the JOHNSON'S® HEAD-TO-TOE® Foaming Wash and JOHNSON'S® Baby Bubble Bath & Wash. My son is loving the bubble bath-we've never used bubble bath before and he's having a blast playing in them. (Now, if we could only get the bathing done and get the clean boy in bed…) The Foaming Wash is so easy to use…it comes out easily and it's helping our son to wash himself. (Yay!!) If you'd like more info on Johnson's, check this out.
Johnson's No More Tears seems to be a family tradition. Thanks, MomCentral, for allowing to post my thoughts on this anniversary and to Johnson's for being a part of my life for…well, let's just say a long time.
