So you know how sometimes you are the mean mom? The mom who says no to Rainbow-Fruity-Sugar-Soda-Drinks? The mom who won’t let her kids watch that movie? Or sleep over at the neighbor’s house for the night? Yeah. I am that mom.

Newly cut hay bales in the sunny field.
My kids spent the large portion of last week in the hay field helping Daddy and Papa haul hay. And by helping I mean running around the field and jumping on hay bales. It’s a good life.

My kids “helping”. Stormy skies in the background.
Even with the sporadic rainstorms we had last week it was so hot. Triple digits hot. Sit in the shade of the truck that is sitting in the shade of the tree hot.

Running to the shade of the truck and refreshments.
So I sent my kids to the field with some PediaSure Sidekicks in the cooler. They play so hard out there I worry that they will get to hot and not stay hydrated.

Drinking Pediasure in the shade of the truck. Drink break!
They love the PediaSure as a special treat and it helps me get my mom-win in for the week. I love the PediaSure because it’s better than soda. You can download a $3 off coupon at the PediaSure website.
I was given samples of PediaSure at a conference and saved them for soccer games and hay field outings for my kids to enjoy.
What do you do for your mom wins?
Ohh I’ll have to check this out. Thankfully, both my boys love water, but when we are out I have been known to allow lemonade or (gasp) sprite. This would be a nice alternative!
That looks like so much fun! We took a long road trip and packed Pediasure in the cooler for the kids.
