Mommysavers Newsletter -- August 8, 2005 Visit our site for more great resources: http://www.mommysavers.com "A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie." -- Tenneva Jordan ============================================================== Hello! It's another Monday, and boy am I feeling sluggish. It's also rainy here, which doesn't help matters. I think it's going to be a lazy day! We have some fun new DVD offers in this edition of the newsletter, along with a new twist on the Real Mom Profile. Scroll down to check them out!

Put your family first... while earning a living at home... You deserve the facts. Visit: http://www.Yourfamily1st.com Today. Not a get-rich-quick-scheme. (Sorry!) ------------------------------ Money/Time Saving Ideas: Gassy Tummies My 5 month old son is on formula, and I hated all the foam that formed when shaking the bottles (and gassy tummy it caused), so I now put one tiny drop of the infant anti-gas drops (I use the generic form of Infant Mylicon, active ingredient simethicone) in each bottle. Works great! He never has gas and always produces a nice BIG burp at the end of the bottle. Simethicone isn't absorbed by the body and an entire day's worth of bottles requires less than than one dose of the anti-gas drops. -- Laura, 42, from Washington Buy Unisex I have 4 kids (ages 7, 5, 3, 1) two girls and two boys. Over the years we have saved a TON of money buying unisex styles when possible. Examples are life jackets, snow pants, snow boots, BIKES, helmets, toddler beds, comforters, soccer balls, backpacks, etc. When our oldest was little, we bought everything the color pink or Barbie-themed. Now she gets neutral colors so that we can pass the item down. We REALLY REALLY try to do this on items that kids seem to grow out of BEFORE the item gets worn out. -- Mary, 40, from IN We need YOUR tips for our newsletter!

The chalk can be used to draw hopscotch or four square lines on your driveway or patio. The kids can also just draw pictures.

Turn heat to low and let cook without uncovering or stirring for 20 minutes. When rice is cooked, stir in cheese, beans and chili powder until heated through. Don't forget to keep stirring! Serves 4 I like to serve this with a side salad. Yummy as-is, or: -Roll up in tortillas and lightly brown each side of it in a frying pan. -Serve with salsa, hot sauce or taco sauce -Use as burrito filling along with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, sour cream. This is quick and easy, and although it may not look very appealing to parents I've NEVER met a kid that doesn't love it. It has a great mild tex-mex flavor without being too spicy.
