Top Weekend Picks


Well, I think Friday and Saturday might end up being a washout.  I’m hoping they’re not, but if they are, it’s a perfect time to look into our local indoor activities.  Experience nature indoors at the aquarium in Riverhead, the Long Island Science Center in Riverhead, or the South ForkNatural History Museum in Bridgehampton.  Experience and create art at Hamptons Art Space in Hampton Bays or TheParrish Art Museum in Water Mill.  Get active indoors at Safari Adventure in Riverhead.  Here are some more indoor activities for Friday and Saturday:

Friday
10:30 am- Start your weekend of right with a workout!  Check out Baby Boot Camp in Southampton.  This is a great way to get fit, while still being with your child.  Classes are held rain or shine at First Presbyterian Church of Southampton.

6:00pm-7:30pm- Pizza and Pajamas!  What a great way to enjoy a rainy night.  Come to CMEE in your pajamas. Eat pizza, hear a story, and do an art activity.  This event is for all ages with caregivers.

Saturday
10:00 am Funtastic Science Class at CMEE- This is the start of a 4 week class for ages 2 and up at CMEE.  Each week is a different theme.

10:00 am Shark Dissection at SoFo- So sad JJ is too young for this one, because this is right up my husband’s alley.  Ages 8 and up can join the SoFo staff for a spiny dogfish dissection.

2:00pm Storytime Yoga- A rainy day is a good day for a story and yoga.  The class is a Kamadeva Kids in East Hampton for all yogis walking to age 6.

Sunday
I’m banking on the weather being nice today!!!!  I really hope it is because I want to head to the Long Island Steamers Public Run Day!!

10:30- 3:00 Long Island Steamers Public Run – Southaven Park, Brookhaven

1:00- 4:00 Kickoff to Summer with Riverhead Town- Celebrate the summer and check out Riverhead Town’s summer programs at Stotsky Park in Riverhead.  There will also be refreshements and entertainment.

Whats for Dinner?

Grilled Tuscan Chicken with Rosemary and Lemon


This weeks recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks Great Food Fast (http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Food-Great-Fast/dp/0307354164/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370478689&sr=1-2&keywords=great+food+fast)
This book is filled with so many great recipes but this one is my absolute favorite and perfect for summer grilling season!  I use fresh rosemary from my garden and follow this recipe exactly, and more often then not I also make the grilled zucchini that is pared with it as well!  Enjoy!


Signs by the Bay review and special offer


 I’ve always been a “words matter” person.  I’m one of those weirdos that doesn’t like a song, unless I like the words.  A fun beat doesn’t do it for me, I need to believe in the message.  This is why I completely jumped on the typography sign bandwagon.  I love how these signs are used as art work, and décor, yet still convey messages I believe in.  Luckily for me, I found Signs by the Bay to fuel my addiction.  The owner of Signs bythe Bay, Jenn Miller, is an artist, a toddler mom, super craftswomen, a blogger, and a great friend.  Jenn’s signs are beautiful and unique to the customer.  They not only add a decorative touch, but are a conversation piece, back to that words matter part, lol.  Here are the signs Jenn has made for me. 
In JJ’s bedroom

In the reading nook of our playroom- So cute!!!

In my kitchen- I love each of these “rules.”  This is how I strive to raise our family.

How can you not love this message?  It reminds me of Peter Reynold’s book The Dot( a must read) and so true! This was is a temporary location. I’m still thinking about how to display his art work.  Any ideas?


These are more examples of Jenn’s work that I love, and hope to soon make mineJ
 













I love the quality and the uniqueness, but I also love how Jenn will customize any piece for you.  The color, the size, shape, the words, etc.  She will make the words matter to you!
Here is the special offer part!!!!!!As a special incentive to all The East End Mommy readers, Jenn is offering a 15% discount on any of her products.  Just use the code TheEastEndMommy when checking out!!!!

Ring Around the Rosie, Namaste, and the Unstoppable Miss Mary: Part II

Last week I wrote about our experience with Miss Mary and her Grow With Me: Mommy & Me Yoga. Miss Mary just sent me a revised flyer for her yoga camp coming up.  She said that her first age group (SESSION A) is almost full, but that she still does have slots available for the other two sessions.  If you have a child in this age group and don't mind the trip to the north fork, SIGN UP!!!

Namaste


Grow with Me Children’s Yoga Camp

Join us for an amazing week of yoga!  Activities will include creative movement, yoga related arts & crafts, games, story books, songs, outdoor yoga activities designed to plant the seed of yoga in your child.

Yoga teaches skills that a child will carry throughout life... even if their yoga practice isn't a lifelong pursuit. Emotional awareness, compassion and physical awareness and strength are only a few of the benefits of yoga for kids. Yoga summer camps are held in a non-competitive, supportive and creative atmosphere. Children learn yoga through interactive games that encourage growth in body/mind-awareness, self-esteem, strength and coordination. Safety, mindfulness and FUN are emphasized!!!

Plexus Slim Review & Giveaway



I have recently tried the Plexus Slim 3 day trial pack which included 3 slim Power Packs and 3 capsules. On the Plexus worldwide website it states that the Plexus Slim is an all-natural healthy solution to help you lose weight and inches by burning fat, not muscle. It also helps keep blood sugar, cholesterol and lipids at healthy levels. Taken together, Plexus Slim and Accelerator will positively impact and change your life. In addition to losing weight, you will experience more energy and better health.
Before starting my 3 day trial I turned to the Internet for more information and learned that the Plexus Slim is diabetic friendly, Plexus was originally designed to help diabetics lose weight by controlling blood sugar, but can be used for healthy weight loss by anyone.
The Plexus Slim comes in individual packets of pink powder that you mix into a bottle of water. It reminded me of the "Crystal Light to go" packets and tastes like it too. I was a bit skeptical about what I can really experience on this product for just using it for 3 days, but I was pleasantly surprised with my results. I ended up not only losing 4 pounds in 3 days, I had more energy than I have had in a very long time. I also experienced full nights of sleep. Being a mom of a soon to be 2 year old, sleep is vital not only for my sanity but for my overall health in general. I knew from day 1 that this was a program I could stick with.

I will admit that I do workout a lot, about 5-6 days a week, but this gave me the boost that I needed to break through my plateau. I was not hungry and had no nervous jitters like most of the other programs on the market. The only thing I changed in my daily "diet" was adding Plexus Slim "the pink drink" along with the Accelerator pill. That's it!!
I was so pleased with Plexus Slim that I have ordered a 30 day supply for myself. I can't wait to start my first month on the pink drink!! If you are interested in Plexus Slim you can contact Jennifer on her facebook page  Healthy Weight Loss by Jennifer Vitiello and tell her The East End Mommy sent you.
