We have some great news Flower Mound!  There is a new “Daily Deals” website that launched in Denton County in January of 2011 (although it has been in other cities across the nation much longer) and FlowerMoundFamily.com has partnered with them to bring more great deals to you. 

I know you may already be receiving emails from another “deal” site or two, but trust me when I say that you will definitely want to subscribe to this one because it is run by Moms for Moms.  What we expect when we give our precious email address to a deal site, is to actually receive deals in our community.  I’m not looking for deals that are 30 minutes away, I want deals that are right here, close to home.  With Juice in the City you will receive deals in Denton County only (unless you sign up for one of the other counties as well, which you are certainly invited).  Now that’s what I’m talking about!

 Another thing we like about Juice in the City is that they know that the absolute best deals for their subscribers will be found by local moms.  Moms know what kind of deals they want.  All of the deals have been personally experienced and recommended by the mom who “sources” the deal, so you know you can trust that the business is top notch.  

Juice in the City is all about saving local AND keeping the local dollars in our own community.   As you know, this is the foundation that FlowerMoundFamily.com was built on…we want to give you a source to find all the local businesses that you need for your family, while providing great coupons to help you save money close to your casa.

Happy Earth Day, Flower Mound!  In case you didn’t know, Earth Day has been around over 40 years.  It was born on April 22, 1970, in San Francisco, California. Each year, the United States and more than 100 other countries celebrate the Earth on the day of April 22nd. Earth Day is the largest, most celebrated environmental event worldwide. Today, we should remember to celebrate the beauty of nature and maybe even set some new resolutions on ways to become a little “greener” at home.  

Here are 10 Ways to Help Save the Earth (according to a 4 and 7 year old). 
See if you can figure out which one is from who!

1. Throw away your trash in a trash can.
2. Give your old dresses to someone else to use.
3. Pick up broken glass.
4. Plant something in old plastic bottles (with the top cut off).
5. Only use water that you need to.
6. Turn on light only if you need to and turn it off when you are done.
7. Save old juice packs (Capri Suns) and turn into something else.
8. Throw your cans in the recycle bag.
9. Trim your trees.
10. Water your plants so they can live!

Here are some fun and easy tips to share with the kids so everyone can participate and help celebrate the Earth well beyond Earth Day!

1. Keep your neighborhood clean.  If you see some trash on the ground, toss it in the trash can.
2. Recycle cans, bottles and paper.  Save them at home and school and help your parents recycle them.
3. Help keep the air clean.  Ride your bike or walk to school.  Too many cars equals lots of pollution.
4. Save paper.  Use both sides of your paper at school and at home.
5. Help save water.  Don’t leave the water running while you brush your teeth.
6. Help save energy.  Turn off the lights when you leave the room and always turn off the TV when you’re finished watching it.
7. Wash fruits and vegetables.  Always wash fruits and vegetables before you eat them to wash off dirt.
8. Bring your own bags to the grocery store, so when they ask you if you want paper or plastic, say nada, I brought my own!  Did you know plastic bags take up to 1,000 years to break down? 
9. Buy your produce from local farmers.  I think it always tastes fresher too…but I guess it would since it took a day to get to my store in Texas vs. 1400 miles from California.  Go figure.  To find your local farmers visit www.localharvest.org
10. Talk to your kids about the beauty of the Earth every day and the importance of doing our part both big and small to help preserve it.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!
