Simple Green Review and Giveaway


I have 3 children and cleaning my home is something I do about everyday. I have used Simple Green household cleaner for years as an all purpose cleaner. So, I was thrilled to learn that they now have a Naturals line. These Naturals products are "green" products. I have been trying to make better choices for my family and for the environment so these products hit all those requirements.

I got to try the entire line (except for the concentrated cleaner...it was out of stock). The very first thing I noticed is the lack of "cleaner" smell. I have a very small guest bathroom. I used the the bathroom cleaner on the shower, sink and toilet. I used the glass cleaner on the mirror and the floor cleaner on the floor. That was a lot of product in a small space and it wasn't overpowering. It was just a fresh mint smell. I love the fact that I can use the floor cleaner and spray it directly on the floor and there is no sticky residue and my baby can crawl on the floor afterwards without being exposed to harsh chemicals.

I also used the dish detergent. I was very impressed. It had a very pleasant citrus smell. It took very little to fill the sink with bubbles :). I also noticed that the food residue came off the dishes with ease.

I also fell in love with the carpet cleaner. I have maroon colored carpets and EVERYTHING shows on it. I sprayed the cleaner on the dried on spots and waited about 5 minutes. I used a clean dry towel and scrubbed a bit. After the carpet dried, i vacuumed the spots and all the spots were gone! Again, I have the comfort of knowing the cleaner will not harm my crawling toddler.

For the consumers out there going green, all these products are made from 100% naturally derived products, are biodegradable and non toxic. I have used many products in the past and I am sold on Simple Green Naturals and will never use anything else.

Smartipants Review and Giveaway

I was so excited when I received Smartipants diaper and inserts. I have done a lot of research on different cloth diapers. They have come a long way over the years but absorbency and design are the two most important factors that I looked for.

Smartipants I found to be very simple in design. I also loved the idea that the inserts go into a pocket but I dont have to remove the insert to wash or soak the diaper. This is wonderful because one it is time consuming and two it is gross.

The absorbency is amazing. I have to admit I had my doubts because because of the slim design, but it truely fooled me. We got a good 4 hours out of one diaper and could have gone longer as far as the leaking goes. The Smartipants fit well under Emma's shorts and didnt have bulk.

The part that I loved the best is the price. If you consider what you spend on your disposable diapers and compare them, the difference is unreal. A 3 pack of Smaripants is 36.95. Assuming you bough 24 (the sites recommended amount) you will spend less than $300. You could spend that in 4-5 months or less on disposable diapers. The savings is amazing. In addition to all this, Smartipants are adjustable. They can fit babies of all sizes because they are adjustable!

Buy It: You can buy your own Smartipants for $14.95 each

Win It: One lucky winner will win one Smartipants in your choice of color.

Mandatory Entry: Head over to Smartipants and tell me what color you would pick if you win.

Peter Rabbit Organics Review and Giveaway

My first two children were never picky eaters. As a matter of a fact, my son would eat anything that didn't move faster than him, including bugs, grass, dirt...Then my lovely Emma come along. She was not happy about anything I put in her mouth. Baby food, cereal, yogurt...she hated it. When I received these fruit pouches, my intentions were to use them for lunchbox snacks for my older two. But Emma wanted a bite of her sisters and she was hooked after that.

These pouches are the best invention for children. First, the lid is large enough that a child is unable to swallow it. Also, the pouches contain fruit and only fruit..a whole serving. These snacks can be thrown into the diaper bag and need no spoon or bowl. Emma can hold the pouch and suck the snack out all by herself. At the same time, I can also send these to school with my older children because they don't require refrigeration until they are opened.

The pouches have been a huge success in my house and I recommend them for anyone who has a picky eater at home.

Buy Them: You can head on over to Peter Rabbit Organics and purchase these for yourself for about $15.00 for a case of 10.

Win Them: You can enter to win a case of 10.

Mandatory Entry: Head Over to Peter Rabbit Organics and tell me what other product you would like to try.
