Today I did a guest post on the Million Mom’s Challenge website. This is a group put together by ABC News and a number of other sponsors to help raise awareness of mom & baby issues around the world.
I’m sharing my favorite tip to raise healthy babies today. Here’s a short excerpt:
Accept the reality around you and enjoy every day!! My living room may be a wreck, I need to do laundry, sweep, vacuum… the list is truly never ending. This is just part of life. Get what you can done, and then go play with your babies. Lay on the floor and do puzzles, read books, whatever you guys love to do, just enjoy those moments and make them part of every day.
Head over and read the rest of the article and enter to win a great prize pack (including an iPad) when you share your tips.
Also, head over and like the Million Moms Challenge on Facebook. For every like they receive Johnson & Johnson will donate $1 to moms & babies causes around the world.

I love LG appliances! And when you cook with your appliances a lot (like you do when you’re preparing for the holidays), you seem to pick out everything that is wrong with your stove, fridge, or whatever. Either there’s not enough room in the refrigerator for everything you’ve made for your party, one of the burners on the stove is broken, the dishwasher doesn’t get the dishes quite as clean as it used to – whatever it is, I know we all dream about new appliances every time you see the flaws in your current ones.
LG wants to help you window shop with some of their appliances during their new campaign, “Come Dine With Me”. They’re featuring some of their most awesome appliances:
Stove
The double-oven range offers two separate ovens that operate independently, allowing you to cook two dishes at different temperatures. You can also have separate delay cooking times set! (I actually have this stove, and am a little partial).
Refrigerator
Super-capacity three-door french-door refrigerator has nearly 31 cubic ft capacity offering the largest capacity in its class. Even with the fridge on top you still get an ice and water dispenser, and you can fit a 2 qt. pitcher under it! (I don’t have this and am very envious of the space).
Washing Machine
LG’s TrueSteam technology in their washing machines uses less water than traditional washers and reduces allergens, wrinkles and odors. It is Energy Star rated plus they were named most reliable brand by a leading consumer magazine. This thing is huge, honestly.
Vacuum
For even better cleaning results, the LG vacuum utilizes LG’s Kompressor Technology to hold 3 times more household dust than your average vacuum. It also has DualForce™ Suction Technology, which adds two additional air pathways to pick up from both sides of the vacuum head in addition to the traditional center section. (Be careful though it nearly sucked up my Christmas tree skirt last night…)
The Giveaway:
One Southern Savers reader will win a $250 American Express gift card from LG.
To Enter:
Head over to take a look at the LG Appliances and let me know which one would make your dinner party experience even better.
LG provided compensation for this giveaway, but all opinions are 100% my own.
