A New Button... and a Giveaway!

Creating a weekly toddler menu has been such a blessing to me! Before starting this, I would struggle each day -- each meal really-- to figure out what to feed my little one (now 14 months). After, finally, finding something to give for lunch or snack or whatever that would fill his tummy, I still didn't feel confident that I was giving him the nutrients he needed!

Now, with a little time spent each week, I can simply look to my weekly toddler menus to remind myself what he should be getting at the next meal or snack. And the best part is, I can do this with very little thought because I already planned for balanced nutrition on the menu!

What can be better than that? I'll tell you... since I started this, I've had the joy of sharing it with all of you... and I've been so excited to see many of you desiring to feed your little ones nutritious meals and snacks! I've so loved hearing from so many of you in comments or via email (keep it coming!) that these simple menus of mine are helping you with new ideas and healthy solutions for your children! That makes it worth the extra time put toward making it internet friendly. In future weeks I'll be working on new ways to make it easier to read and follow (ideas welcome!) In the mean time, I would love for my menus to help as many moms as possible!

I created a new button this afternoon... to tell everyone about my toddler menus! If you have enjoyed or been inspired by the toddler menus you've seen here, I'd love you to consider putting this button on your sidebar for others to find. Here's the code...

<<a href="http://babychaser.blogspot.com/search/label/Toddler%20Menus"><img border="0" src=" https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz9X9jr5-APq07kAOD9YrBltLtgAKmn9u2wnLZdnWhZwRSzqFY3ZUaYOPVzQhuIES9n3EpFT4pFmn9Y1MGXnGP2izO1y8d0kWHjcQEpfIEMVylRFCuaRmuFi2oQ-Ls8TuQtxCYVQCZjzk/s320/Toddler+Menus+Button.jpg" /></a>

Just coppy and paste this code into the designated spot on your blog to show others how to get here. :) (For some reason it puts an additional "opening carrot [<]" in there at the beginning... if you delete that first charactor, it should be right. It will work without changing it, but there will be a little "carrot" just above the button.) Let me know if the button doesn't work for you and I'll get it fixed up special! ***Special thanks to The Simple Wife for helping me get the code in this post!

Now for the Giveaway!... If you've added our button to your sidebar, stop back here to leave a comment and I'll enter you for our giveaway! I will be giving away The Healthy Body Cookbook! Though I don't have it yet, it looks to be a great resource for fun healthy recipes for you and your children to make together. As your toddlers become old enough, they can learn about cooking, healthy eating, and a number of things about thier bodies! Basically, it doubles as a great homeschooling or learning book as well as a cookbook! That's a book after my own heart!

Want to be entered twice??? Post something on your blog about our giveaway and then leave a second comment! I'll put your name in there twice... oh, and don't forget to leave me a way to contact you... on both comments!

I'll leave the contest open until Valentine's Day! That gives everyone time to get things done and get entered! :)

For those of you without a blog, sorry, this time my giveaway is for bloggers only. Also, I'm sorry to all my international readers, but I can only ship to the USA and Canada for this one. I hope you will still include me in your sidebar if our menus have been a blessing to you!
