Dove Self-Esteem Campaign, Thank You for Making a Difference!

As the parent of a tween daughter, I cannot say how much I appreciate Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty.  We have always been Dove users thanks to my husband's sensitive skin and I can say that I am proud to be a part of what they are doing to increase self esteem in our youth. 
As Moms we were all young once and know the pressures that girls face in regards to beauty.  Fast-forward to motherhood and you will see that your daughters have all the pressures we faced coupled with multiple media outlets spreading it further than ever before.  We have always told my daughter and that she is perfect since God created her the way he wanted her to be.  I am so thankful that she will come home and openly talk to me about self-esteem issues.  She is tiny by nature and we both had a good healthy laugh when she came home one day and asked me if she was anorexic because a  friend  had a book with pictures of girls who were and they could see their ribcage and she said she could see her ribcage too.  We had a good discussion on the difference between being small and having an eating disorder.  It wasn't much later that she hit a growth spurt and noticed her clothes getting a little snug and said "am I getting fat?"  It is sad that it was the first thing she would ask.  We had to laugh again because I told her at 60lbs she is far from fat!  I also talked to her about growing and that there was no need for her to worry about her weight or size as long as she was eating right and staying active.

ABOUT THE DOVE® SELF-ESTEEEM FUND

(Copied directly from Dove's Press Release)

Too many girls and young women develop low self-esteem from hang-ups about looks and consequently fail to reach their full potential in later life. The Dove Self-Esteem Fund (DSEF) was established as an agent of change to inspire and educate girls and young women about a wider definition of beauty. The DSEF is committed to help girls build positive self-esteem and a healthy body image, with a goal of reaching 5 million girls globally by 2010. It has already reached 2 million young women.

The Dove Self-Esteem Fund is part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, a global effort designed to widen today’s stereotypical view of beauty. In the U.S., the DSEF supports the Boys and Girls Club of America and the Girls Scouts of the USA to help build confidence in girls 8-17 with after-school programs, self-esteem building events and educational resources. In the United Kingdom and other countries, the Fund supports Body Talk, an educational program about body image and self-esteem in schools. Since 2006, the Dove brand has conducted nearly 2,700 self-esteem educational workshops around the world.

Please watch this short video to find out more about Dove's efforts and next time you go shopping for Soap, Shampoo, Deodorant  or Beauty products reach for Dove and assist them in their efforts to build confidence in our children.



Please feel free to leave your comments sharing your self-esteem stories.

*No monetary compensation was provided for this post.  As a participant in the Dove Campaign I was given Dove products and True You workbooks.  This post was my own opinion and was not impacted by the products I received.

What are your five tips & tricks for getting your kids to bed on time and getting them to stay in bed?

As a participant of Twittermoms.com I was asked to blog about five tips and tricks to get your kids to bed on time. 1. Stick to a Schedule. I'm a believer that Consistency is the key to sanity in parenting. 2.  An hour before bedtime have your child participate in an activity that is calming such as reading, watching a movie or listening to music. 3. Have your child bathe before bed. There are several lavender and other soothing fragranced bath products for kids that are helpful. 4. Have a calming environment in their room for them to sleep. 5. Be clear on rules for getting out of bed and stick to it.  Take care of bathroom breaks etc before bedtime.

Unilever Beauty Giveaway~Closed

I know I posted a while back about the Unilever Beauty Tip of the Day widget located in the left hand sidebar of my blog but have you really been using it?  It has some great tips as well as links to money saving coupons on Unilever products.

I have seen several helpful tips so far.  For instance, two recent beauty tips on the widget about Vaseline could keep your lips looking gorgeous.  The first was for lip repair gently brush lips with a toothbrush then apply Vaseline before you go to bed at night and wake up with healthier looking lips.  Another was using Vaseline to extend the life of your favorite lipstick.  When it gets to low to use mix it with vaseline to make a tinted gloss!

Brandi Carlile- Give up the Ghost- Review

I was given the opportunity by One2One Network to review the album Give up the Ghost by Brandi Carlile.  Brandi has a strong and mesmorizing voice. While this isn't my favorite genre of music I would encourage you to check it out.  I was pleasantly surprised how well I liked some of the songs on this album.  With her first album including a duet with Elton John, I'm sure that Brandi Carlile is going to be a big name herself in the music Industry. Brandi's music has also been on the TV hit show Grey's Anatomy.

Five for Fighting Slice - Review

Thanks to One2One Network, I was given the opportunity to preview Five for Fighting's fifth album Slice which releases October 13. Five for Fighting is possibly best known for the hit Superman which released before 9/11 but quickly became a song of comfort following 9/11.
I could listen to John Ondrasik's voice forever! The songs on this album are all deeply written and I think can appeal to everyone. Chances is the first release for this album and is truly catchy. I can tell you I was singing it just after listening to it for the first time. I would have a hard time picking a favorite song from this album though as there really wasn't a song that I didn't like. I also like that this album was one that I could listen to in the car with my dd without worrying about the lyrics.

Album Tracklisting:
1. Slice
2. Note To The Unknown Soldier
3. Tuesday
4. Chances
5. This Dance
6. Above The Timberline
7. Transfer
8. Hope
9. Story Of Your Life
10. Love Can't Change The Weather
11. Augie Nieto

TV Appearances:

CBS Saturday Morning 10/10
The View 10/14
The Today Show 10/16

Fruit and Veggie Kid

Fruits and Veggies.....sometimes are two of the most dreaded words to kids. What is the secret to making sure that your child gets enough? What if your child is a picky eater?

Thankfully, I was one of the lucky parents and my little one loved fruit and veggies. I do however think more than luck played into it. My husband and I love veggies and I think that modeling good eating habits made it easier when it came to helping my daughter develop good eating habits as well. Did we ever hide or sneak fruits and veggies into our little one's diet. Well... depends on what you call sneak! LOL We used fruit as a treat or dessert making it a fun food. We also used playful tactics such as identifying our veggies with their matching Veggie Tales characters.

Do your kids eat their fruits and veggies? Do you have to sneak fruit and veggies into their diet?http://www.littleblends.com/ Has come up with some great foods that do the sneaking for you so that your picky eater can have their needed fruits and veggies. Little Blends is made by Horizon and combines fruit and veggies in a creamy whole milk yogurt providing your child with fruit, veggies and dairy in one tasty snack that they won't even realize is good for them.
Do you have a fruit and veggie story to tell? Check out the blogging contest going on now at Twitter Moms then tell your story on your blog.

The Jesus Book by Stephen Elkins, Illustrated by Claudine Gevry

I received a copy of The Jesus Book from Thomas Nelson Publishers. The Jesus Book is a Children's book answering many questions regarding the life and ministry of Jesus. As parents we know our little ones ask a lot of questions and this book is a great resource to answer the questions they have about Jesus. This book's reading level is for children ages 4-8 but I believe children of all ages and even adults will enjoy it.

I have linked a copy to the sample flip pages above so you can see for yourself. The layout of this book is absolutely wonderful. Each section is labled and each page begins with the fact being addressed and includes background Bible verse reference information for further study. The illustrations are beautiful and assist with explaining the information to children. The author presents the information beautifully and ends the book with the plan of salvation which is wonderful for children who may be ready to make a profession of faith.

I would definitely recommend this product to others. Even though it is a children's book I enjoyed the facts and information as well as the timelines and maps included. This book also included a CD which has 30 songs about Jesus performed by children. This book would make a great gift for any family with Children.

More information can be found at Thomas Nelson.
