My dream bedroom

My dream for a make over bedroom is not for me, but for my youngest daughter, Emily.
Since my youngest was born, I spend most of my time having to go into her room because she's scared, or scared, or scared. I've tried everything to get her to not have to have anyone in her room to go to sleep at night. Nothing has worked.
Her fifth birthday is coming up and we (Emily and I) agreed that she would no longer need her mommy in her room since she will now be a big girl. How awesome would it be to give her the best reward ever by redoing her room as a reward?
Her bedroom is so mismatched from changing it over the years. We never totally change the theme, but just get a new comforter here and a new poster there. She now has a Dora, Princess, Hello Kitty and glow in the dark skeleton stickers room. (we are also changing it from paneling to white walls which will be SOOO nice!)



I found out that Vision Beddings are having a contest right now to help someone's dream bedroom wish come true! How fun would it be to be able to do that for her! AND, the contest ends on her birthday-November 17th-is that a sign or what?

I was looking through the site and found some great ideas. Here's a thought on the bedding:

They have wall hangings and pillowcases and all sorts of bedroom products that will make a room look "put together". Something my little girl needs!

Little Blends yogurt

I have been looking for some way to hide vegetables in my youngest child's meals. She isn't too bad about eating them but alot of the time, they sit there on her plate.
I really am not good about sneaking anything into their diet. I've tried smoothies and they go Yuck! I've tried hiding corn under ranch dressing-they go Yuck! I've been at my wit's end over it.
When I was introduced to Little Blends, an all-natural yogurt blend that included fruits AND veggies, I was thrilled! This reminds me of how they do the baby food but with flavor!
I'm also excited to find out about the contest they are holding right now at Twittermoms:
http://www.twittermoms.com/forum/topics/sneaking-fruits-veggies-into

The first 100 bloggers to enter the contest will win a Thermos snack jar to keep their cool snacks fresh for on-the-go, plus a coupon off Horizon’s new Little Blends yogurt. Participants will also receive a second prize pack to give away to one of their own readers. Isn't that awesome with a capital A?!
So, get your butt over there and win one to try and let me know what you think!
