giveaway

Like everyone else, I’m making up this parenting thing as I go along–occasionally getting it right, frequently stumbling. Feeding my kids is no exception. Even as a dietitian with a bunch of initials after my name, I wasn’t prepared for the curve-balls thrown at me by my kids when it came to food. And really, who would be ready for peanut butter toast jags, three-month dinner boycotts, and unreasonable little tyrants at the dinner table every night?

Fearless Feeding: How to Raise Healthy Eaters from High Chair to High School is a smart, comprehensive manual for feeding kids in a way that instills lifelong healthy habits in your children but keeps you sane. The book has sections on babies, toddlers & preschoolers, school-age children, and teens and focuses on three fundamentals:

  1. WHAT to feed your child: The nuts & bolts of the nutrition kids need.
  2. HOW to feed your child: The actions & attitudes to take.
  3. WHY your child behaves that way: How development & your child’s temperament play a role.

Fearless Feeding is written by Jill Castle and Maryann Jacobsen, dietitians, moms, and authors of two blogs I also happen to love, Just the Right Byte and Raise Healthy Eaters.

They’re also giving away one copy of Fearless Feeding to a lucky winner.

{Giveaway} KIND Bars

by Sally on April 29, 2013

I was never a big fan of granola and energy bars. To me, they seemed too much like candy bars, and I never felt like I’d eaten anything substantial–even when the bars packed hundreds of calories.

But KIND bars are definitely an exception. They’re made with whole nuts and fruit, many are low in sugar, they’re non-GMO and gluten free, and make a genuinely satisfying snack. My third grader also loves KIND bars (but they’re not right for very young kids, since the whole nuts can pose a choking hazard).

I’m happy to be hosting a giveaway with KIND this week.

 The winner of this giveaway will receive 24 KIND bars! 

Even better: You get to pick your two favorite flavors. There are 19 to choose from including Peanut Butter & Strawberry, Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan, and Cashew & Ginger Spice. You can see the whole flavor lineup here.

To enter, please leave a comment at the end of this post telling me your favorite snack. To increase your odds of winning, you can also leave up to three additional comments:

  1. “Like” Real Mom Nutrition on Facebook here and KIND snacks here, then leave me another comment telling me that you did.
  2. Subscribe to my blog using the “Subscribe By Email” box on the right, then leave me a comment telling me that you did.
  3. Follow me on Twitter here, tweet about the giveaway, then leave me a comment that includes a copy of your tweet.

The giveaway ends Monday May 6 at noon Eastern Time. I’ll choose a winner at random through Random.org‘s number generator. U.S. residents only, please.

Disclaimer: I received a complementary box of KIND bars and grains.

Giveaway: My Favorite Green Cleaning Cloths

March 18, 2013

I used to have a collection of bottles and cans under my kitchen sink: sprays to clean the counters, blue stuff to clean the windows, stainless steel paste for the appliances, and a bleach powder for my white sink. That’s all gone. Now I have a stack of cloths. And instead of spraying toxic-smelling cleaners [...]

Giveaway: California Walnuts

February 6, 2013

We go through walnuts crazy-fast around here. I use them in granola, homemade energy bars, and smoothies, and sprinkle them on cereal to give it more staying-power. So I was happy when the California Walnuts folks sent me a burlap bag full of walnuts and offered to host a giveaway here in time for American Heart [...]

Giveaway: Applegate Organic & Natural Meats

February 4, 2013

I sometimes say that if it weren’t for bacon, I’d be a vegetarian. But that’s probably not true. There’s also sausage and chicken and cheeseburgers and and and. But I’m a conflicted carnivore: I like the taste of meat (and so does my family) but I have a lot of concerns about treatment of animals [...]

3 Days of Giveaways: “Light Bulb Moment” Books

June 12, 2012

I’ve read two books recently that made me want to stand up and yell, “Yes, exactly!” This week, I’m hosting a giveaway for both of them. I’ve had a screwy stomach since childhood. Like so many women, I was eventually given that maddeningly vague, we-can’t-really-figure-it-out diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). So when I started reading IBS: [...]

3 Days of Giveaways: Bare Fruit Apple Chips

May 28, 2012

This is one bag of chips you’ll actually want your kids digging into. And believe me, they will. These Bare Fruit organic apple chips are dried apples. With nothing added–no sugar, no preservatives. They’re “baked-dried” in wood-burning ovens at low temperatures for hours. So unlike other dried apples, they’re not soft. They’re crispy and crunchy. [...]

4 Days of Giveaways: Village Harvest Rice & Grains

March 18, 2012

This is the final day of my 4 Days of Giveaways! I’m hosting a different giveaway every day. I don’t know about you, but the first time I made quinoa for my family, they were not thrilled. Sure, they liked it in these cookies, but straight-up quinoa did not exactly go over like gangbusters (though [...]
