Review: My daughter loves dolls and this one is no different.  She has been playing with the Baby's First Zip-Ity Princess Doll, carrying her around, cuddling and kissing her.  The doll provides many learning opportunities for you to share with your child.  Since my daughter is two she was able to do some of things right off the bat such as the Velcro. I think the hardest one for her to learn will be the tying of the dolls shoe but this is a great way to start the process.

 

As a Mom some of my favorite things about this doll are:

• She's an interactive learning toy that doesn't require batteries.
• The Baby's First Zip-Ity Princess Doll is machine washable
• She comes with a lifetime gaurentee.
• She's cute!
• This doll is available for under $15.

Hair Stopper Review

About: This stylish bath strainer is designed to trap hair and dirt on the outside and before it clogs the center allowing quick water drainage. Fits most baths and showers. The large surface trap area ensures all hair and dirt is trapped, and prevents undue clogging.

Review: Have you ever found yourself taking a shower with water filling up in the tub?  Clogged drain?  My hair falls out fairly easily and my husband it always getting on my case about clogging up the drain.  I remember having a hair stopped growing up so I was excited to see it again on the Evriholder website.  I knew this product would make for much happier days.

The stopped fits right over the drain stopping everything except water that comes in its path.  You will want to clean off the hair stopper every few day but it's super easy.  Just wipe the hair away with toilet paper of a wipe and throw it away.  This product may also be helpful in children's bathrooms to keep drains from clogging.

Konsyl Fiber Supplement Review & Giveaway

We’ve all heard about the digestive and other health benefits of having enough fiber, but in addition to helping promote regularity and good digestive health adequate soluble fiber intake offers an abundance of health benefits, ranging from a reduced risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol, to reducing blood sugar absorption, thereby assisting in the management of Type-2 Diabetes. Fiber can also aid in weight loss by making you feel fuller longer.

Psyllium fiber, such as the fiber found in Konsyl Fiber Supplements, is a bulk-forming soluble fiber derived from the outer coating, or "husk" of the psyllium plant's seeds. Because psyllium does not come from wheat it is therefore gluten free and safe for celiac patients. Konsyl products are also safe for pregnant and nursing women. Just one serving of Konsyl Original Formula 450g provides 6 grams of psyllium fiber (equal to 3 grams of soluble fiber), 75% more than the leading brands.

Many of Konsyl Fiber products are sugar and gluten free and are all natural. The full Konsyl Fiber Supplement line is:

• Made with 100% pure psyllium, a soluble plant fiber
• Safe for celiac patients, diabetics and pregnant and nursing mothers
• Available in powder, capsule and single-serve packets

Who should take Konsyl products?

Konsyl is for women and men of all ages who want to:

·       Relieve constipation and induce regularity  (even while pregnant)

·       Get relief from various gastrointestinal disorders, such as diverticulosis, Crohn's disease, acid reflux and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

·       Reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol

·       Follow a heart-healthy diet

·       Enhance weight loss

·       Help decrease blood cholesterol levels and help maintain healthy blood glucose and insulin levels

·       Reduce the chance of developing hemorrhoids

The featured Konsyl product line includes:

• Konsyl Original Formula 450g (SRP $19.00)
• Konsyl Psyllium Caps 100's (SRP $9.50)
• Konsyl Orange Sugar Free Packets 30's (SRP $9.50)
• Konsyl Balance 300g (SRP $13.50)

Review: If the reasons above aren't enough to get you to consider Konsyl, I'm not sure what will!  As a busy mom of two I can't afford to be feeling blah.  Adding the Konsyl Original powder to my daily glass of tea is easy.  With a little shake the powder mixes in with no change to the taste of my beverage.  The caps are great for days when I'm in a hurry or when traveling.  I'm also glad to see that Konsyl products are gluten-free.  


Buy it: Konsyl Original 450g – the number one doctor recommended all natural psyllium fiber supplement-  is available in retail stores; other Konsyl products, as well as Konsyl Original, are conveniently available for purchase on www.konsyl.com and on various e-tailers, such as drugstore.com, walmart.com, Amazon.com.

Win it: 1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win both the Konsyl Original Formula 450g and the Konsyl Psyllium Caps 100's.

Truvia® Lunch Makeover Challenge

About: There's a zero-calorie sweet in town. It's natural and has a scrumptious, clean taste. It won't saddle you with guilt or make your butt look fat.

Rooted in goodness: This little leaf comes from nature and gives back a recipe for sweetness that's delicious.

Guilt-free: The first great-tasting, zero-calorie natural sweetener that's a miracle of nature, not chemistry.

Review: I recently took the Truvia^® lunch makeover challenge.  My son has to take a "snack" to preschool each day.  His "snack" just so happens to be at 11:30 and he doesn't get out till 12:30 so I pack him a lunch everyday.  He is a very picky eater and doesn't eat a whole lot of foods.  Whenever I can make small changes to provide healthier options I give them a try.  I have heard of Truvia^®  but have never tried it and certainly wouldn't have thought about baking with it!

The recipes on the Truvia^®  website are ones your whole family will enjoy. I choose to make brownies because I thought my son would enjoy these instead of the few pieces of candy I send as a treat in his lunch. While it's a few more steps than throwing a box of brownie mix in the bowl these brownies taste great and the kitchen smelled great all evening!  I made the brownies after everyone had gone to bed so it would be a surprise for my sons lunch however I think these recipes would be great to make with your children and could lead to conversations about making healthy food choices. 

I plan to continue making small changes using Truvia^® .  One of the first in my own diet is to use it as the sweetener in my tea.  I was also excited to see that Truvia® is gluten-free.  This means I can use it when making food for the entire family.  My daughter likes a little sugar on her strawberries and sometimes in her gluten free cereal; I can make the small change of using Truvia® instead of sugar and she'll never know.

For more information, recipes and giveaways follow Truvia® on Facebook and twitter.

REACH® BY design® Toothbrush Competition

Inspire the next REACH^® BY DESIGN^® toothbrush by submitting your own pattern created by YOU on http://see.walmart.com/Reach.

You never have to worry about forgetting to change your toothbrush again! REACH^® design patterns are colorful reminders to change your toothbrush every season.

Design Yours Now: I tested out the design process and it's super easy.  There are preselected colors and patterns.  Once you have decided on your theme you can add four additional icons to your toothbrush design.  Once you submit your design you will also receive a $2 off your next REACH^® brand purchase.  I know these toothbrushes would be helpful for our family.  With four people brushing their teeth it's really hard for me to keep track of when toothbrushes need to be replaced.  In my shopping excursions I've also found that REACH® toothbrushes are a great value for your money (even better with a coupon)!

Game Hub by Sam's Club

With the holidays fast approaching I'm sure many of you have video games on your loved ones wish lists.  Sam's Club has created a site to make game shopping easier.  Game hub by Sam's Club is a great way to gain information about new games and gamins systems.  There are featured games where you can view screenshots, watch trailers and learn more about the game.  One of my favorite features is that you can order/preorder the game right from the information page for these game systems; Wii, PS3, ox 360 or DS

My husband does most of the video game purchasing in our house.  When it's left up to me it takes forever for me to read the back of each game and determine which one would be the best fit for our family.  Game hub allows me to search by rating to see which games are appropriate for the kids.  If you are new to games and don't understand the rating system, that's okay too.  Game hub has a faq section that breaks down the ratings and how games are rated.  If you are thinking about purchasing a game console this holiday season and can't decide game hub has descriptions and shares the key features of various consoles.

As game hub grows in popularity I can see more and more game being added.  Before you purchase that next video game, check out game hub.  You can also follow Gamecenter on twitter for more information.

Avocados from Mexico: Spookamole Contest & Halloween Inspired Recipes

About: The world's first avocado was grown and cultivated in Mexico countless generations ago. And thanks to the region's fertile volcanic soil, ideal climate and centuries of expert cultivation, Mexico remains the source of the world's finest avocados.

Today, Mexico is the only place in the world where avocado trees naturally bloom four times a year. Producing a year-round bounty of irresistibly rich and creamy avocados whose unsurpassed quality and distinctly delicious flavor are always in season.

For more information and fun recipes visit Avocados from Mexico.

Mummified Avocado Appetizer Recipe

• Slice avocado in half and remove pit
• Slice each half into 6-8 strips
• Sprinkle with season all salt
• Cook bacon per instructions

•  Roll avocado slice in one piece ham.  
• Wrap with one slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Smokey Bones Avocado dip

• 2 avocados
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon chipolte rub (I used Pampered Chef seasoning)

Cut and mash avocados.  Mix in sour cream.

Add chipolte rub and mix.

You can use this as a dip for chips or a spread for mini sandwiches (ham or burgers).

Usually when there's something on the menu with avocado I order it, especially guacamole.  My daughter has even taken a liking to them.  I was excited at the opportunity to try something new with avocados and I hope you will too.  With the upcoming Halloween holiday there are lots of Spokamole recipes that will be the hit of your party.  The green color of avocados fits in great with Halloween decor, they are available year round, good for you and most importantly, they taste great!

Enter your own recipe on the Spookamole recipe contest page and win!  After the posting period ends the Avocados from Mexico team will review and test recipes and will select five (5) finalists to be entered into a public voting period from Monday, October 10 through Sunday, October 16. The winner of the public voting will receive $1,000 and four (4) runner-ups will receive $250.00 each.

Disclaimer: I wrote this review while participating in a Spookamole blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Avocados from Mexico and received avocado items to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

My Buy Nursing Scrubs & Stethoscopes Product Review

Flare Leg Drawstring Pant With Pockets: Authentic Cherokee Workwear scrubs are hard working and comfortable.  The flare leg bottom makes this pant a fashion statement.  It features side vents at the bottom of the flare.  It has an adjustable front drawstring  with a back elastic waist.  Two slash pockets and one back patch pocket.

Workwear fabric is super durable, made from soft Poly/Cotton Poplin with soil release.  It actually becomes softer with every washing. Available in sizes XXS - 3XL, Regular, Petite & Tall.  These pants are available in 34 Colors.

Tee Shirt With Jewel Neckline: This jewel neck Tee sports a myriad of features!   It stretches for comfort and terrific resiliency.   And there is no need to tear off the neck label because a cool logo is screen-printed inside right below the neck.    And to complete the picture, the short sleeves, body hem and banding around the neckline are detailed with a baby cover-stitch.  Made of Cotton/Spandex.  This shirt is available in 12 colors and sizes XS - 5XL, 22" in length.

Ultimate Mono Sack: It's the perfect size for carrying everyday personal items.  Spacious interior with convenient, outside pocket. Available in  Blue, pink, royal blue & grape.  Measures 15" x 11" x 4"

Review: There has to be a good reason doctors and nurses wear scrubs every day.  Have you ever wanted to try them out?  Secretly...I have...  That's probably why I was so excited to learn about My Buy Nursing Scrubs & Stethoscopes.  As I've said before, Moms are nurses, many times 24 hours a day to our families.  Just this week I had a sick boy.

The first thing I did when I received the products was wash them according to their labels.  They were then ready to wear!  I got the scrub pants in black and have worn them around the house, to pick up my son from preschool and even out to a meeting.  They are extremely comfortable.  I thought the black might attract lint but it didn't.  The tee shirt is a very soft material making it perfect for nurses and moms alike.  The walking sock is another great addition to your sock drawer.  Nurses are on their feet for very long shifts, the socks they wear are very important for taking care of their feet.  The socks are silky soft to the touch and feel great on my feet.  They are coming in handy with my half marathon training.  I know I'm always running ragged chasing kids around so it's important that I have comfortable clothes to wear.

I no longer carry a diaper bag since my kids are a little older but I still carry a lot of stuff.  The ultimate mono sack looked like a great solution.  I received the sack in blue.  I recently took it on a day trip with the kids and it worked out great for us.  I was able to take, my wallet, snacks and the kids electronics.  The outside zipper pocket is perfect for quick access to a phone or keys.

You don't have to be in the medical field to shop My Buy Nursing Scrubs & Stethoscopes.  With affordable pricing, a variety of brands and products you are sure to find just what you're looking for.

Buy it: You can purchase each of the items mentioned above and so much more at My Buy Nursing Scrubs & Stethoscopes.

Meet Gabby for yourself here. Help Sheila introduce Gabby - be sure to check out her video trailer promotion here!


In Gabby, God’s Little Angel, Gigi fans will fall in love with Gabby and learn about God’s love and provision and a little about His invisible creation, the angels.


Read what people are saying here.



Enter today - Sheila and her publisher, Thomas Nelson, have put together an “Angel” prize package worth over $150.00!

One lucky winner will receive:

• A brand new KINDLE with Wi-Fi
• Gabby, God’s Little Angel 

But wait! There’s more …


On October 4th join Sheila at her Author Page on FB for the Gabby, God’s Little Angel Party! She will announce the winner of the KINDLE, host a chat and give away a ton of fun products from the Gigi and Gabby line! RSVP today and then be sure to stop by on October 4th at 5:00 PM PST (6 PM MST, 7 PM CST, & 8 PM EST).

Product Description: This first book in a delightful new series offers a comforting message for young readers-God loves you very much and is always watching over you!

What little girl wouldn't love her very own guardian angel? Parents and children alike will be won over by this humorous tale of Gabby, a guardian angel in training who has much to learn about taking care of God's little ones. Her new assignment is to protect a young girl named Sophie, but Gabby soon realizes that watching after Sophie is a bigger challenge than she had expected! After a close call while riding her pony, Sophie learns what the Bible says about guardian angels: "He will put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go" (Psalm 91:11 ICB).

Review: The first thing I noticed about Gabby, God's Little Angel is the illustrations.  The angel remind me a lot of a fairy princess so girls are drawn to her.  Throughout the book you will find high quality artwork that doesn't disappoint.  I have read Sheila Walsh books before but nothing written for children.  I love that she is writing books designed for girls ages 3-8.  Children in this age group are very impressionable, the lesson taught in this story about God is done in a way that any little girl can understand.

I look forward to the continued reading of this book to my daughter and sharing with her the other books in the series.  Gabby, God's Little Angel would make a great book for an upcoming baptism, birthday or Christmas.  Sharing Gods love with my daughter is not always going to be easy so it's nice to find books out there that she not only likes to look at, giving me the time to share the story with her.

Buy it: You can purchase Gabby, God's Little Angel online or at a Christian bookstore near you starting September 20th.

Win it: 1 Coupon Clippin' Mommy reader will win Gabby, God's Little Angel by Sheila Walsh.

Mandatory Entry:  Who would you like to read this book with?

Tavern Direct Wasabi Wonder Chicken & Zucchini Stir Fry

About: A complex layering of flavors that excites the senses. Wasabi Wonder is great with seared tuna or grilled white fish or as a marinade to spice up steak and pork. For more flair, use it to stir fry scallops, shrimp, or vegetables such as our Wasabi Patatas Bravas! Or simply, over steaming hot dumplings for an exotic experience at home!

Ingredients:Wasabi powder, horseradish, spices, ascorbic acid, water, soy sauce.

Easy Wasabi Wonder Chicken & Zucchini Stir Fry Recipe:

1 Zucchini 
1 package chicken tenderloins
1/4 cup Tavern Direct Wasabi Wonder sauce and marinade
White or brown rice

 

Dice chicken and place in large skillet on medium-high.

 Wash and cut Zucchini while the chicken is cooking

 Add 1/4 cup Tavern Direct Wasabi Wonder to the skillet and coat chicken.

 Once the chicken is pretty well cooked you can add the Zucchini.  Depending on how tender you want the Zucchini you will need to determine how much longer to allow it to cook.

 Serve with rice and additional sauce if necessary.

I must say this is my favorite sauce so far.  While I have enjoyed all the other ones...to the end of the bottle...There was something about the Wasabi Wonder that hit the spot every time I used it.  Having a fridge stocked with Tavern Direct marinades and sauces is great for any busy family.  You can create mouth watering meals for your family in no time at all!


Buy it: You can purchase the Tavern Direct Wasabi Wonder marinade and sauce along with other great products online at Tavern Direct.

Review: I'm a big sweets fan so I was really excited about the opportunity to try Talenti Gelato.  When I found it at my local grocery store I stood in front of the section freezer door open for probably 10 minutes.  I could not decide which flavor I wanted to take home with me.  I really liked that there were gluten free options so my daughter will be able to enjoy it.  I picked up two or three different kinds, read the labels and decided on the Caramel Cookie Crunch.  This particular one is not gluten free, after taking one bite, I'm not sure I could share anyways.

The gelato is very creamy and has a sweet taste.  With the caramel and cookie crunch combination it's amazing.  Last night I didn't even bother with a bowl, just me, my Talenti Gelato, a spoon and season premieres!  I will be picking up Talenti Gelato again, the Mediterranean Mint sounded really good and it's gluten free.  Next time you're looking for a cool treat, spoil yourself with gelato or some refreshing sorbetto.

Child Passenger Safety Week

Each year, thousands of children are tragically injured and killed in motor vehicle crashes. In fact, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children ages 1-13.

The reason? Most parents and caregivers don’t understand how car seats work and are not familiar with the milestones a child must reach before he or she can be safely transitioned to the next car seat type or seat belt. The National Highway Safety Transportation Administration is aiming to increase awareness during Child Passenger Safety Week (September 18-24) by educating parents and caregivers about this issue and motivate those who think they are securing their child properly to seek help, even if they’re sure their child is correctly restrained.  Child Passenger Safety Week concludes with National Seat Check Saturday on September 24, where community events nationwide will have Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians available to provide hands-on car seat inspections and advice — for free!

• A brand-new, beautiful, informational infographic about proper car seat safety (downloadable here)
• A locator to find nearby car seat inspection stations on National Seat Check Saturday and throughout the year
• Posters, stickers, facts and more for you to place on your blog
• A landing page with instructional videos, handy informational flyers, and links to product ratings and recall lists. 

Additionally, the Child Passenger Safety Twitter account @childseatsafety will be hosting a live Twitter Q&A on Wednesday, September 21 at 2 p.m. ET. Safety experts from the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will be available to offer essential information on car seats and how to safely travel with children of all ages in cars. Just use the hashtag #CPSweek to follow along and ask your questions.

Snack Containers That Will Have Your Kids Talking

GoldfishTM Snack Container: Goldfish crackers are loved by all. Pack them in our container, great for eating on the go. Tail flips to dispense crackers. Dishwasher safe. BPA Free.

Dyno Dips: Children will love the fun design of these highly functional snack containers. The specially designed flexible lid aligns perfectly with the inner dyno shaped reservoir to form an air tight seal. This keeps dressing and dip separated from fruits, vegetables, and other snacks. A continuation of our highly successful dyno themed line of kitchen gadgets.

Review: Every morning I am packing a snack for someone.  Whether it's for my sons preschool snack, MOPS meeting, car ride or snack around the house we are always in need of containers.  I like to keep some fun ones around because the kids are more likely to hold onto them if they like them!

Who doesn't like goldfish?  The GoldfishTM Snack Container isn't just for the friendly fish.  My daughter can't eat goldfish but that doesn't stop her from enjoying a snack in this special container.  I only had to show the kids once how it opens and they were set.

The Dyno Dips container has become a favorite in our house.  I have to alternate which kid gets their snack in this container.  My daughter likes carrots or apples with dipping sauce but by son prefers crackers and fruits snacks.  This container can be be used for just about any snack your kids like!

Bringing a smile to my kids face makes for a happy Mom.  I have found that if I make snack fun they usually eat it all up and it allows me to sneak in some healthy options, especially for my son who could live off peanut butter crackers.  Great news for me is that both of these products are top rack dishwasher safe.  I've run them through a few times with no warping or discoloration.  These are both quality snack containers and I would recommended them for you child's next snack!
