The Learning Tower {and a Giveaway Worth $199!!}

I am just going to start off this review by saying I am pretty sure you want one!  I know I wanted one and now that I have one I don’t know how I EVER got along without it!

The Learning Tower entered our lives just a couple weeks ago.  I couldn’t wait to get it put together and start using it.  It is a good thing it only took me about 20 minutes to assemble because I had 4 of my children practically crawling over me in anticipation of using it.

We have had SO much fun over the past week snacking together, making food and just hanging out at the same level because of The Learning Tower. My 2 year old is thrilled with her new found freedom once she climbs up and happily stands on The Learning Tower while the rest of us are making breakfast or dinner.  My 5 year old and 7 year old have had fun raising and lowering the height of it so that they can join in the fun too.

Just in case you have never heard of the Learning Tower I will fill you in on all of it’s benefits.  I will warn you though, like I said before, you will want one once you know all that it does!  The Learning Tower is, well… a tower. It sits up next to your counter tops and allows little ones to stand safely near you while you work.

 Have you ever had a child pull up a chair to “help” you make cookies?  I don’t think I have ever made it through a chair-at-the-counters experience without someone falling off and bruising some part of their anatomy.  With The Learning Tower those days are over.  You can adjust the floor of the tower to different heights as your child grows (or if you are like me and you have a few different ages of kids). Children 18 months and up can use The Learning Tower. The floor is wide (15″ x 18″) and can hold up to 500 pounds.  The best part is the 4 sided railing though.  It keeps the kids safely in their space.

Would you believe that there is more that this amazing thing can do?  My kids were so excited about getting a spot at the counter that they could hardly stand it when I told them that they could also use The Learning Tower for puppet shows! You can actually buy a kit that includes an easily attachable roof, red curtains, and four different theme signs to create a puppet theater, doll house, drive-thru, or lemonade stand!  My kids also made a fort out of it and played there for over an hour.

And if that doesn’t make this tower multipurpose enough for you then you’ll love to know that you can also get an art easel to attach to it.
Sounds amazing doesn’t it?!  I really do think that The Learning Tower is an amazing and helpful invention for families.  Kitchens (and bathroom sinks too) have long been in need of a safe and sturdy stool for children to be able to wash their hands, help out and be a part of what the rest of the family is doing.  We will use ours for years to come. 
The Learning Tower is made by little Partners.  If you would like to know more about the ages and stages for The Learning Tower here is great info and videos that go along with each stage.

Cleaners So Safe Your Kids Can Use Them Too (and they work great)!

The flowers are blooming. The trees are green again. There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to roll up my sleeves and get organizing and cleaning.

It’s hard to avoid all of the advertising claims lately about green cleaning products.  The problem is that many green cleaning products are not actually safer for you and your kids.  They may be trying to be a bit more “earth friendly” but they often still have all kinds of chemicals, carcinogens (can cause cancer), and ingredients that are harmful, especially to children. 

I have been passionate about cleaning safely for a few years now, ever since I realized that it was just about as important as eating clean foods.  The cleaners we all use come into contact with our hands, little bottoms (in the bath tub), the air we breath and even our food when we wash dishes in the sink and food touches our counter tops.

I have finally found cleaners that I absolutely love and feel very safe about using around, and even with, my children.  They are from NewLeaf Clean.  All of the ingredients are all natural and you can actually pronounce them! Each ingredient is something you will recognize like vinegar, organic coconut oil, organic aloe vera, peppermint essential oil blend and others.

These cleaners work amazingly well and smell really good.  No chemical smells here.  They sell an All-Purpose Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, Granite Cleaner, Bathroom Cleaner, and Dish & Hand Soap.  My favorites are the All-Purpose that I use all over and the Granite Cleaner that cleans and shines granite amazingly well. 

Because I really believe in training my children to be able to clean on their own one day, I allow them to use these cleaners while doing their chores.  I feel perfectly safe with them using them.  I do supervise the younger ones with cleaning but will let them spray these cleaners.  Aside from some homemade cleaners, NewLeaf Cleaners are the only ones I feel good about them using. 

Disclosure: I did not receive anything for this post.  I just wrote it because I truly believe in the NewLeaf Products and love using them!
