Healthy Desserts

As a family, we made our New Year's resolutions - more patience, more quality family time and, yes, eating better.
I admit it. This year I did IT.
Yes, IT.
You know EXACTLY what I am talking about.
We all do.
I made the #1 most popular New Yeary's resolution - WEIGHT LOSS!
And now I intend to keep it.
But as the CEO, chef, accountant,and personal shopper of my family, that means EVERYONE is on a diet too.
Well, sort of.
We generally eat very healthy. Brown rice. Whole wheat pasta. Whole grain bread.
LOTS of fruits and vegetables.
But desserts are still a necessary evil.
So now we are on a mission.
Or, shall I say, I am.
On a mission for "healthy" desserts.
And the mission is a success!
My favorites hail from Weight Watchers - their chocolate cake (made with sauerkraut and NO flour) or gingersnap cupcakes. Yum.
We even tried preparing our own granola bar (nut free in our house) that ranks high on the health-meter. We left out the chocolate chips and flour and used oatmeal, honey and wheat germ.
It is possible!
Yeah!!!

The Looking Glass Supports the Children's Hospital of Denver

If you have ever had a sick child - and felt the panic - you know how important good care is.
And in Denver, one place is THE best - The Children's Hospital of Denver.
Fortunately for us, we had a very successful outcome at Children's. Each time we went, everyone was kind and curteous and made my children feel very comfortable. The place provides a wonderful experience to receive excellent care.
We have had such positive experiences, that The Looking Glass decided to give 10% of all our sales to Children's each year.
That's right!
10% of every purchase you make goes to Children.
So feel great about your purchases. You are helping children in need.

Thank you!!!

Bumkins Towels and Wash Cloths

I love all our products. Really, I do.
I love Angel Dear and Swaddle Designs - soft, cuddly and very well made.
But today I am loving Bumkins.

I just received their hooded towel and wash cloth sets which are ORGANIC and perfect for any baby. Check them out here: http://thelookingglassonline.com/baby-towels-c-67_72/bumkins-organic-hooded-towel-set-p-216
So beautiful and soft. Great on any baby skin. My kids all had eczema. Their skin was ECTREMELY delicate. Everything was washed in DREFT and they needed lots of lotions. So these towels would have been perfect.
Go Bumkins!!!
