Spring brings with it the smell of new plants in the air, and the promise of warmer days to come.  It also brings Earth Day, and I love the reminder and important message that goes along with it:  Take good care of this amazing planet!

Minute Maid Lights New Fla

Just released this January 2013, the Coca-Cola owned Minute Maid is now offering four tasty flavors of Minute Maid Lights - a lower calorie juice option.  While not a big juice drinker, I'm a new fan of these... they really are light and refreshing We don't drink much juice in our house, largely due to the high sugar and calorie content.  So this will prove to be an interesting and tasty new option. The four new light juice beverages include: Minute Maid®Pure Squeezed Light No Pulp Minute Maid Light™ Mango Passion Minute Maid Light™ Peach with Tea Minute Maid Light™ Raspberry with Tea This product line was introduced to provide an additional variety of choice for all lifestyles, and will join the previous Minute Maid Lite Lemonades.

Colorful Bento-ware Lunches End Plastic Baggie Waste [Giveaway, Ended 4/8]

April 2, 2013 by 100 Comments
bento-main-image-homepage-frame-3

Do you tire of packing your child's lunch, and feeling like you are wasting an average of 2-4 plastic baggies per day?  I do.  I own a variety of storage containers, and use them occasionally.  But they are typically too bulky or misshaped to be able to use to pack my daughter's entire lunch.  So at best, we had been using a combination.  But still so wasteful.  Enter the colorful Bento-ware Laptop Lunches as a fun and effective solution! We recently tried out a Bento lunch box (laptop lunch) and a Bento Buddies set.  Here's what we thought of how these fun, creative, and effective products helped solved our problem. Bento Lunchbox and Bento Buddies I fell in love with these the second I read about them online.  My daughter already eats in compartmentalized fashion, and I knew a Bento lunch box, or "Laptop Lunch", could put a stop to our daily packaging waste problem. You can purchase Bento-ware laptop lunches by either customizing which containers you'd like, … [Read more...]

Personalized Kids Table & Chairs [Giveaway]

February 19, 2013 by 25 Comments
kids table and chairs

When their first grandchild was born, grandpa had a great idea of what he wanted to get for his granddaughter:  a kids sized table and two chairs.  Being a new parent, this idea had not occurred to me.  But what a crucial addition to our home it has turned out to be, for years to come! More than once, it's proved worth it to carve out a place for our kids table & chairs.   Come to think of it, they never made their way into the child's bedroom.  They've always been in either our living or dining room (with a view of the TV, of course). My daughter, and then later on also my son, still use ours daily.  It's the perfect place for crafts (saves moms dining table), painting fingernails, eating a snack, racing cars, or just having their own space to sit and play or watch a movie on their portable DVD player. The set in our home was from another maker, but I just love this gorgeous set featured by the Baby Gifts and Baskets site.  It's white and hand painted, giving it that … [Read more...]

Escape From Planet Earth ~ New Animated Film [Giveaway, Ended 2/7]

January 30, 2013 by 5 Comments
Escape From Planet Earth

From The Weinstein Company comes a new animated family film, “Escape from Planet Earth,” - hitting theaters on Friday, February 15th. I've seen the previews, it looks pretty cute. And it definitely looks like an amusing cast, including Brendan Fraser, Sarah Jessica Parker, and William Shatner. Here's a little info from the PR sheet: "This 3D animated family comedy catapults moviegoers to planet Baab where admired astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA’s no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an S.O.S. from a notoriously dangerous planet (yeah, that's us... here on earth!), Scorch rejects Gary’s warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish … [Read more...]
