I am pretty sure that most moms in their right mind don’t wake up in the morning and think “today seems like a great day to finger paint” -especially when planning the daily activities for a 1 and 2 year old.  Well, I was not of sane mind today (I think it was the 6am NoLimits class I taught that made me lose it) and planned this “fun” activity. Not only was I crazy enough to attempt finger painting with two kids – I did it after a 1.5 hour playgroup with 10 kids and a trip to Panera with a girlfriend and her daughter.

I blame the  whole situation on Pinterest though.  I have a board called “cute kid ideas” and recently pinned a finger-painted picture of a fish onto the board.  Since then, I have been dying to make these pictures with the girls.  This is a process, I will say.

And we are not to the part of making the orange hand-print fish yet.  If we get there, I will let you know.  A much needed nap time interrupted our “fun”.

While the girls napped, I took advantage of a treat I was recently sent from Yoplait through MyBlogSpark!

A little info:

  • There are 5 varieties of Yoplait Frozen Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies: Chocolate Banana, Triple Berry, Strawberry Banana, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Strawberry Mango Pineapple.
  • Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothies have live and active yogurt cultures, and deliver 50% of the recommended daily value of calcium.
  • They are available in your grocer´s freezer, each package contains enough frozen fruit and real Yoplait yogurt to make two 8 oz servings, when blended with 1 cup of skim milk.
  • Visit http://www.myblogspark.com/uc/main/707b/ to download a printable coupon for $1.00 off one package of Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothie!

The smoothie was super creamy and good.  It had a ton of banana flavor from real bananas – not flavoring.  The chocolate flavor was light and not overpowering.  It’s the perfect smoothie for an afternoon snack or to build a smoothie meal with (by adding a little protein powder!).

Also, the cup that Yoplait sent with the relaxation pack is amazing! It’s your turn to win the same prize pack!

Your prize pack will contain:

  • A VIP coupon for a sample of Yoplait Chocolate Banana Smoothie
  • Neck pillow
  • Smoothie tumbler – so great!!
  • Lavender eye mask
