Being a single parent, the sole money earner in the home and a full-time college student I don’t have a lot of time. That’s why sometimes, not always, I find it a necessity to cook quick and/or easy meals that don’t require a lot of time or effort. That’s not to say that I am not conscious of what I feed my child, or that I will feed him anything that is quick and easy. I do try to make sure he eats healthy.
One thing that I have learned that you can’t go wrong with is using tortillas. You can make so many things with tortillas, and tortillas are actually pretty good for you. They also don’t cost a lot, which is one of the best reasons to use them. The only brand we use is Mission, though. I don’t recall ever using a different brand or even if there is one.
On their website, you can find Mission – Back To School recipes that your child can even take to school in his or her lunch back and will probably love. My son likes stuff like burritos, tacos, chicken wraps, vegetable wraps.. and I can even make a pizza wrap with the tortillas that he absolutely loves.
I like that they are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways, be it for lunch, dinner or just a snack. I also like the fact that Mission flour tortillas contain no trans fat per serving and are completely cholesterol free. Not just any foods can boast that.
Check out this PB&J Banana Burrito. It looks pretty good if you ask me, and it’s perfect for lunch or a snack.

Okay, this is a really great freebie that I think any parent can appreciate. Currently, Energizer is giving away a Free 4 pack of Energizer Recharge batteries. This is a great giveaway simply because almost any one with children knows how quickly children go through batteries and how quickly the cost of said batteries can add up.
One time my son had this huge train set and over time acquired 9 different battery operated trains to go along with the set. Each train required 3 AA batteries for the controller and 3 AA batteries for the actual train. That’s 6 batteries per train for a total of 54 batteries altogether. That’s not including the batteries that were needed to run the various little accessories that came with the train set. All in all I ended up spending way too much each year on batteries and I can honestly say I am glad that he finally outgrew that thing.
I know this is only a 4 pack, but anything helps at this point. He can use them in his microscope or his video camera.
Anyway, it’s only open to the first 30,00 people who "Like" Energizer on Facebook. So click HERE and follow the instructions on how to get your free pack of batteries.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
When my son was in diapers, one of my biggest concerns was diaper rash. I think I was almost obsessive-compulsive about the whole thing. I made sure that he never went around with a wet or dirty diaper, or at least did my very best to make sure. I think in the 2 1/2 years he was in diapers and pull-ups he had a slight diaper rash only once and it was because he had diarrhea and it irritated his skin.
Anyway, my cousin’s little boy is not so lucky. I don’t know if it’s because he is wet all the time or what. It’s not that his diaper doesn’t get changed frequently, it’s mostly because the kid urinates more than any human being I’ve ever known in my entire life. It’s actually pretty crazy. That’s besides the point, though.
She asked her pediatrician about the problem and he recommended she try this stuff called Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. The name sounds kind of funny, I think, but from what I’ve read about it and what I’ve seen from my cousin’s personal experiences the stuff really works. Before buying it she went to their website and signed up to get a free sample of it. Mostly I think she did that cause she’s on a budget, and didn’t want to spend the money on it if it wasn’t going to work. Well needless to say, she was impressed and purchased a large 16 oz. jar of the stuff.
The paste comes in various sizes, though, not just large. You can get it in 1,2,3 and 4 oz tubes or you can buy the 16 oz. jar. The stuff treats diaper rash quite well and also helps smooth the skin irritation. I think if you’ve got small children that are still in diapers you should definitely give this stuff a try. Head on over to their website and get yourself a free sample of the stuff if you aren’t sure about it. Your kiddo will definitely be glad you did.
