Easter Egg Hunts Along The Wasatch Front
There’s really an astonishing amount of Easter Egg Hunts this weekend along the Wasatch Front, and I’m sending you here to EnjoyUtah.org for a complete list. Can I just vent a little?
The Todd and I have hosted scads of Easter Egg Hunts for the radio station over the years, and it’s getting weird.
I mean, really weird.
We finally gave up on the hunts as promotional events when we watched two adults knock over a 3 year old and nearly get into a fist fight going for the same marshmallow Peep.
Seriously? Are we seriously getting so competitive for our children that we’re willing to take out a toddler to make sure Junior gets more jelly bean eggs than anyone else? When we hauled the adults apart and handed the Peep to the sobbing 3 year old, one Dad reared up on me and hissed, “you’re lucky I don’t hit women!”
Simple Easter Egg Hunt Rules:
- This is for fun. Maybe some socialization. You don’t get a trophy if your kid nails down more plastic eggs than any other kid.
- You–as an adult–are much bigger and heavier than the kids. I actually read a story out of Kansas where two kids actually got arm fractures during a Hunt when adults fell on them or knocked them over. You’re the grownup. Stay behind the line. If your kid is so tiny that you need to help them, maybe wait ’till they’re bigger and have a little hunt at home.
- If another kid takes your kids plastic egg, ask yourself if it’s worth an arrest for assault to “show that brat who’s boss here!”
Sorry about being Debbie Downer here…let’s just make it fun again, okay?

How About Four Months Of Free Infant Formula…Free Pediatrician Checkups & $225.00 For Expenses?
Are you expecting? Know someone who is and cannot (or won’t be able to) breastfeed?
I just checked with the study coordinator at Jean Brown Research, and they still have a few openings for new mothers and babies for the infant formula study. Here’s why I love this study:
For YOUR baby: four months of free formula (about $500.00) visits with a pediatrician and up to $225.00 for expenses. I know the formula they’re researching–it’s already out on the market, a top-tier formula with all the important additions, like DHA and Lutein. They’re simply testing it to show a weight gain study for the World Health Organization, who wants to be able to use the formula in third world countries for little ones in need there.
If you’re using infant formula, I love the idea that you’re giving your little one the best start possible with this study. And it’s wonderful to me that your efforts will also be saving the lives of little ones around the world. What a wonderful Karmic cycle, eh? You do need to be local: this is a Utah-based study. If you’re interested, please click here for more information. PLEASE pass this info on to someone who might use it–I really want them to have a lot of babies for a strong study. Thanks!

To get yours, go HERE, click on “prints” at the top of the page and then click again on “4×6, 5×7, 8×10 prints” and follow the prompts to upload a photo. Use promotional code FREEONE (you also can use 1PRINT or PRINTS4U) at checkout to have the cost of the print deducted from your total. Opt for in-store pickup and you won’t pay shipping.
Saturday, March 17th is Free Family Day at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts. Little ones can create a self-portrait canvas in the Studio from 1-4pm. Click here for more info.
Free Books & Reading Resources For Utah Kids
I was such a bookworm as a child that it never occured to me that Zachie and MacLean might need some extra encouragement to enjoy reading. If you’re looking for some extra resources, you may want to check out the resources available online HERE from the Utah Education Network that can help children become good readers. The Utah Kids Ready to Read! program provides a variety of resources as well, including activities and games, HERE. Plus, if you take a survey on this site, your children will get a free book sent to them. Look for the “Free Book” banner on the left side of the page.

Expecting? How About Baby Formula For The First Four Months?
If you’re pregnant and close to delivering, I’ve got some amazing news: Jean Brown Research is doing a study on an infant formula and weight gain. If you know you can’t–or won’t be able to–breastfeed, DO this! I know the formula, it’s top-tier with all the important extras, like DHA and Lutein. You’ll get 4 months of free formula (about $500.00 worth!) checkups with a Board-certified pediatrician and up to $225.00 for expenses. Then, the study will allow the World Health Organization to use this formula in third world countries. You’ll get the best care for your baby, and you’ll be helping infants who REALLY need it. I love this–if the study had been available when we adopted Zoe, I would have SO jumped on this! If you know a mom-to-be who can benefit from this study, please pass this along–I REALLY want them to get a lot of babies for the study… 801.261.2000 or click here for more info. This study is for Utah mothers only.
Expecting? Not Nursing? How About Free Formula, Expenses & Pediatrician Visits all Covered
If you’ve been hanging around That Went Well long enough, you already know I feel that Breast Is Best. (Editor’s note: and not just because my mother is a Breastfeeding Nazi who had a lactation coach at my bedside in the Intensive Care–while on a ventilator!–after giving birth to the twins.)
That said, sometimes a mom can’t. My sweet sister cried her way through an entire box of tissues when she realized she would physically not be able to nurse. For some moms, there’s too many obstacles in their world. No matter what, you want the best possible solution for your newborn. I had to sort through the options when we adopted Zoe last year–and if this study had been available then, I would have done it. (Editor’s note: that’s my Zoe in the hospital–can you believe how tiny she was?)
Jean Brown Research contacted us because they’re conducting a study on infant formula (I know which one it is, it’s a high-end one you’ve likely seen in the grocery store with all the crucial new ingredients, like DHA.) They’re conducting a study to show weight gain so that the formula can be used by the World Health Organization in third world countries. They’re looking for newborns, and here’s what you get: 4 months of free formula (about $500.00 worth) weekly visits with an excellent, board-certified pediatrician, and $225.00 for expenses.
I love that you can help your baby, help babies in third world countries and save all that money! Put it torward diapers, or your newborn’s college fund. Whatever.
Are you close to your delivery date? Are you a Nana, co-worker, friend of someone about to give birth? PLEASE pass along this information right away. Take note: this is a Utah-based study, so you’ll need to be local. Click here to learn more–and let me know if you do the study so we can follow along! Everything you need to know and a quick form to set an appointment is right there.
