Peter Rabbit Organics Fruit & Vegetable Squeeze Pouches {& a Giveaway}

by

Have you ever wondered what to keep on hand for a great healthy snack at home or to easily take with you on the go without refrigeration?  Want 100% organic baby food that’s really convenient?  Peter Rabbit Organics is just what you need.

Peter Rabbit Organics is a line of fruit and vegetable combination pouches that are nutritious, convenient, and kids love them.  I know because my kids were excited about them as soon as they saw them.  They loved squeezing them and said the flavors were really yummy.

Would you believe that kids ages 3, 6 & 7 would eat peas, spinach and apples and love it?  I honestly didn’t think we would finish the Pea, Spinach & Apple pouch from Peter Rabbit Organics but my kids said it was “Sooo good!”  Really?!  Okay, that settles it. These pouches will become a go to snack for us from now on.  I will gladly buy pouches of organic fruits and veggies from Peter Rabbit Organics because they are fun to squeeze and eat and my kids happily gulp down 100% organic goodness.  That makes this momma happy!

Peter Rabbit Organics are suitable from 6 months and up (great for adult lunches too. I enjoyed them).  You can feel good about these fruit and veggie pouches because they are free of added salt, sugar or artificial ingredients.

My family is pretty passionate about eating organically and buying local when we can.  I really like that Peter Rabbit Organics is a small company committed to making quality products that are produced in Oregon, USA and, where possible, they are using local ingredients sourced from within the US.

There are many flavors to choose from like Apple & Grape, Strawberry & Banana, Carrot, Squash & Apple and Sweet Potato, Corn & Apple. Try them all.  You’ll have to let me know if your kids like the Pea, Spinach & Apple as much as my kids did.

You can find Peter Rabbit Organics at Whole Foods, Publix, Starbucks, Albertsons and more.  If you want to purchase them online try Amazon or Target.

Kids Natural Calm Multi: Healthy & Yummy {and a Giveaway!)

by
If you could look into my pantry you would see a number of kids vitamin and health supplements that are mostly full and just sitting there.  I know…it’s pretty sad.
We are a family that eats organically as much as we can, avoids artificial colors, processed foods and white sugar.  Along with these standards comes a desire for my kids to get good vitamins and supplements. The problem is that so many of them taste horrible and even if they were good for my kids I could only get them to take them if I strapped them down and forced them.  I am not willing to put them through that.
So forget smoothies to hide the taste or holding their little noses.  I’ve finally found a wonderful liquid supplement that is full of organic fruits and vegetables, Omega-3 DHA & EPA, vitamins, minerals and more that kids need.  It’s called Kids Natural Calm Multi and it tastes really good!
My kids really liked the fruity splash flavor.  We mixed it with equal parts of water but you could also add it to juice.  We didn’t need to add it to juice though because my kids just drank it down by itself. 
Kids Natural Calm Multi is sweetened with organic stevia and organic agave.  Which are better for you sweeteners that don’t spike blood sugar levels.
As I read about why this product has the words “Natural Calm” in the title I was fascinated about the information on magnesium deficiency and how difficult it can be for your body to respond to stress because of it. I wondered why I hadn’t heard much about it before.  We all have stress in life (yes, even kids) and when your body doesn’t have enough magnesium the cells continue to work and not rest. You can read more about it here. Here is a list of symptoms of magnesium deficiency from the Kid Natural Calm Multi product flier:

  • Stress
  • Fatigue & Low Energy
  • Inability to Sleep
  • Muscle Tension, Spasms & Cramps
  • Anxiousness and Nervousness
  • Irritability
  • Headaches
  • Weakness
  • Weakening Bones
  • Abnormal Heart Rhythm
We are planning to use Kids Natural Calm Multi long term to continue to help with these issues.  One of my daughters has had a tough time sleeping and I am hopeful that she will rest better once her deficiency is overcome.  I myself sleep so much better at night when I take a magnesium supplement just before bed (they have one for adults too called Natural Calm).
A 32-page guide to the benefits of magnesium, along with magnesium deficiency symptoms, written by Dr. Dean is available as a free download at the non-profit http://www.nutritionalmagnesium.org/.

We love these tails books by Jellycat.  They are fabric books that have different tails sticking out.  The Kitty tails book talks about fluffy tails and curly tails and shiny tails and more. These books are great for baby to see, touch, hear, and chew on.

Keeki Pure & Simple Nail Polish Review (& A Giveaway)

by

My girls love girly stuff like nail polish and so do I.  The problem is that I also really care about what they put in and on their bodies and try to use natural and organic products whenever possible.  Most of what you can find on the shelves at the stores have so many yucky chemicals in them.

My 5 girls and I got to try out Keeki Pure & Simple nail polish which is water-based and completely non-toxic.  We all had fun painting our toes and fingers using the base coat and then the pretty cherry pie nail polish color.  My girls were delighted with it and I felt really good about using Keeki brand nail polish.

Keeki Pure & Simple is:

  • Non-toxic
  • Gluten-free
  • Cruelty-free
  • Safe during pregnancy
  • Made in the USA
  • No nano-particles
  • NO Parabens, Pthalates, Toulene, Acetone or Formaldehyde

I love that they have so many colors that work well for little girls and even moms too.  With Keeki nail polish you paint your nails and use a blow dryer for 30 seconds to make sure it dries well.  The base coat and top coat work together to make the polish last longer.

My girls don’t know it yet but they will find Keeki Pure & Simple nail polishes and also their lip balms in their stockings this year. It will be a great treat for them!

PURCHASE:  If you want to surprise your girl(s) with Keeki this year visit their site to shop their products.  They have some great gift sets!  Nail polishes start at $9.99.

WIN: A Keeki Pure & Simple gift pack that includes a Sugar Plum Nail Polish, a Remover & a Sassy Shimmer Stick.  Enter with the Rafflecopter form below.  If you are reading this in email you will need to click over to the site to be able to enter.

Day 16

Moms

 

I did not have the opportunity to see The Dunstan Baby Language DVD until shortly before my youngest was born.  I really wish it had been available for the previous 5 kids!  It especially would have helped for the fussier ones.  It really is genius!  The DVD describes to you how to tell what the sounds of your baby’s cry mean.  Are they hungry, sleepy, need to be burped, have gas, or uncomfortable?  The examples and real cries on the DVD are helpful in learning what to listen for.  I really do believe that this eliminated a lot of frustration and crying with my youngest as an infant.  I would highly recommend this to new moms (and dads) as well as seasoned ones.  The faster you figure out what your baby is “saying” the happier you and he/she will be. 
This DVD makes a great gift for expecting moms or moms with newborns.  You have to start early with this or it doesn’t work as well.


Babies

This Sassy Car Wash Bath Toy was a hit in our house with both girls and boys. The cars can squirt and pour and the track floats in the water.  You can squirt the cars as they go by with the spout.  The whole toy hangs up to dry and the cars fit inside the net to keep the bathtub tidy.  This is for 9 months and up. 

Kids

Want a unique gift for kids?  How about KIDZ Placemats by Modern-Twist.  Modern-Twist is all about bringing art to the table and they have some fabulously modern things for adults but I stumbled upon their kids placemats and think they are great.  They have some amazing designs.  I purchased 2 of the Alphabet Animals mats for my 2 and 5 year old.  They have been enjoying identifying the animals and letters at every meal. My 7 year old loves the Kat in the City placemat.
 The cool thing about these mats is that they are made from silky food-grade, hand silk-screened silicone.  Each one has a clear base so the artwork really stands out. You can roll these mats up and they won’t crack or break.  Plus they are a non-porous,  germ-free surface for kids to play and eat at.  I am thinking they will be great to throw in a diaper bag or purse to take when we eat out to cover icky tables. 
My kids favorite part may be that you can color on these with washable or dry erase markers! Just clean them off with a damp cloth or rinse.
