Just for fun, I entered my son's beautiful drawing of himself playing soccer into 5 Minutes for Mom and Yoplait Kids' "Strong and Happy" Drawing Contest. His work was chosen as a finalist! Hooray!
Would you please consider giving him your vote? All you need to do is check out the post at 5 Minutes for Mom, and below the post click the button next to #6 - Play and Shine, then click the vote button. There is some beautiful artwork there, and most is done by older kids. For a 5 year-old, I think my little guy's drawing is fantastic!
For the record, my son doesn't realize there is anything at stake here. He is just excited that his artwork is on the computer with other kids' because he did such great work on it! It would be fun to win, too, and help supplement some fun summer classes (and the next soccer season.)
Voting ends at 3 pm, eastern time on January 30th. Thanks so much!

Yoplait "Strong and Happy" Kids Drawing Contest
Honestly, it was the name of this contest, "Strong and Happy," that drew me in more than anything else. (No pun intended - really!)
Isn't that just exactly what we want for our kids? For them to be healthy and strong in mind and body, and happy? I want to feed my kids well, and give them opportunities to play and shine and grow.
So when I asked my 5 year old son to draw a picture of himself, strong and happy, I was delighted when he gave me this:
Don't you love the smiling sun? And his ears?
Most of all, isn't it nice that he sees himself as strong and happy? I hope to teach him to take care of his body, by choosing healthier foods and enjoying outdoor play with friends. We can't wait for spring, and warm sunshine, and the start of another soccer season!
Fortunately, we don't have to wait for yogurt. That's a treat we can enjoy all year round. We even freeze them with a stick, and have healthy frozen treats that are WAY better than popsicles...even in the middle of winter in Wisconsin.
I really appreciate that Yoplait Kids has less sugar in their yogurt. And how nice of them to partner with 5 Minutes for Mom to sponsor this fun drawing contest!

Today, I am...
...grateful for Martin Luther King, Jr.'s contributions to our world.
...hopeful for more positive change to continue.
...worried about my sick little boy, sleeping upstairs.
...grateful for our general health and safety, and concerned for others not as fortunate.
...wondering when I'll have time to update the look of this blog (new name, new look, coming soon!)
...glad that the time I have, is spent with the people I love the most.
