MERRY CHRISTMAS
from THE TRENDY MOMMY!
Winners of the Relish! 12 Month Subscription are:
Amanda: "I really like this concept. It would sure help a working mom :-) After our Christmas shopping adventure last night we grabbed Wendy's on the way home. It would have been nice to have one of the crock pot recipes from Relish done when we got home. "
Kimberly: WOW... how cool is this! I have never heard of this site before. Thanks for the information. I love some of the meals on the sample menu like Chicken Pizza and Slow Cooker Tuscan Pot Roast. YUMMM!!!!!Last night we went out to the local diner for dinner. I always cook (although boring meals - same ones week after week). The only reason why we did is because I got paid for a job I did (FINALLY!) and I have some pocket (FINALLY) and I wanted to treat my family out to eat. Thanks for a neat giveaway!"



How adorable is this clip? We received some super trendy clippies in the mail this week from Berkley's Clippies. And we must say that we absolutely LOVE them! 


Recently we ran across a designer whose signature piece is this adorable architectural inspired onesie. We absolutely love the archi series at mishu:bubi.The 'my crib' onesie would make a perfect gift for an expectant mom or new baby. Mishu:bubi even packages the 'my crib' onesie in a 12" kraft tube to mimic the typical way blue prints/construction documents are carried or shipped...you'll have to visit their website to see just how cute this really is!

Recently we were asked to check out the new Bugaboo Friends site. I know all you trendy mommies are familar with the super fun and functional Bugaboo strollers and other products which are great for moms on the go. Well, now you can share your life experiences with other Bugaboo moms and dads and even those who don't personally own a Bugaboo - but love the look and design of them.

Recently a reader asked us if we knew of any retailers that had trendy holiday hair clips. 




Relish is a weekly menu planner aimed to help busy families put easy meals (with a gourmet twist) on the table every night. There is no fuss here. It’s an easy step by step process that you can do every weekend to prepare for a trip to the grocery store. You choose the entree and dessert meals that sound appealing and presto- your grocery list and menus are ready for you to rock and roll (and available to print out as a pdf to make life extra simple, too)! The ingredients needed for all recipes are separated into categories making it easy for you to move around the grocery store without forgetting something, which we all always do! The breakdown of ingredients uniquely identifies “what you may need but already have” which eliminates the possibility of buying double of something you already have in the pantry or refrigerator.
As a trendy new mommy, hoping to fit back into my “trendy jeans” one of these days, it is important to watch the fat and calorie intake during the day. With relish, every meal has the nutritional facts posted below the menu. The recipes provided by Relish! keep health conscious moms right on track, utilizing fresh, healthy ingredients. My first weeks’ menus ranged from 200 to 415 delicious calories. It can be said that my time using Relish! meals was full of flavorful meals that even my picky-eater husband enjoyed.
It is a beautiful thing to be able to have HEALTHY meals planned each week for my family without worrying about searching through cook books and forgetting essential ingredients. For $7 dollars a month, this weekly menu planner plus monthly freezer menus and more is great to settle any hungry household.
I feel like a GOOD mom and wife now that I am using Relish! Forget boring grilled chicken with canned peas, this menu planner brings “spice and simplicity” back to the kitchen.
