TidyTots Review & Giveaway

Adisyn is fully potty trained now, she has been for quite some time now. But she also still uses a potty chair. She still has her winnie the pooh potty because she still isn’t confident using the big potty while doing her business. She thinks she is going to fall in, so we’ll keep the potty until she’s ready for the switch.
Tidytots is the best way to keep potty trainers as well as older toddlers from having messes. Adisyn likes to dump “her” potty into the “big” potty, so we’ve had quite a bit of spilled messes here. I didn’t want to discourage her to try it on her own, so I let her do it herself. Now I can help her pull the strings on the bag, and let her put the bag in the trash. So much easier, and not so many messes.
With these potty chair liners, you don’t have to use one every time they go to the bathroom. The liners come with super absorbent pads that gel up when wet. These pads can hold enough liquid for 2-3 uses, and you get 16 pads and liners in a box for $8.99. So your getting 48 uses per carton.
The reason I think these liners are such a good idea, is because now you can have a to-go potty. Just put your kid’s potty chair in the car, and bring the liners and pads. I go to a lot of yard sales in the spring and summer and it seems every time they had to go to the bathroom as soon as we were too far away from a store. Now I don’t have to worry about messes in the car and I don’t have to worry about trying to find the nearest bathroom.
Finally, a mess free solution to potty training.  Fits all potty chairs.  Place a Tidy Tots liner in the potty chair bowl.  Then place a super-absorbent pad in the liner.  When soiled, remove, close and throw away.  Each carton contains 16 super absorbent pads and 16 liners.  The super-absorbent pad will hold 2-3 urinations.  Up to 48 uses per carton!  Only $8.99!

Kids Natural Multi Calm Review and Giveaway

My kids usually eat just about anything. They aren’t too picky, they usually eat whatever they get without too much of a fuss. I did want them to start taking a multivitamin though, and I had some issues with that.
I put Aidan in preschool this year. He did well until it started getting cold. He then started getting sick almost every single week. He was missing more days than he went.
Aidan was extremely premature. He was born at 24 weeks (6 1/2 months) and was 1 lb and 13 ounces at birth. He still has a low immune system even though he is 4. So I had to end up taking him out of preschool.
When I was taking him to the doctor, I asked them what I could do to get his immune system up, and they told me to give him 2 multivitamins and a calcium vitamin everyday. He wouldn’t take it. I kept trying different ways. I would crush it and put it in his drinks and food and he could taste it. He would hand it right back to me and say “It’s nasty.” So when I seen the Kids Natural Calm Multi, I was on it.
I thought that maybe this would work, since nothing else was working. It is a premium combination of nutrients, lovingly crafted with 24 organic fruits and veggies plus other key vitamins, minerals, and more to help kids focus, maintain calm energy and feel their best.

For the Review, I received one 30 fl. oz. bottle of Kid’s Natural Multi Calm. At first I wasn’t sure they were going to like it because it didn’t smell or look anything like juice. {That’s what I pretended this was} But after the kids tasted it, they liked it.

*24 Fruits & Veggies
*Omega-3 DHA, & EPA
*Vitamins and Minerals
*Natural Calm Magnesium
*Calcium
*Amino Acids
You just mix it with an equal amount of water or add some to their juice. I tried both. I was surprised that both my kids drank it with water. I told them it was juice, and they drank it all. They asked for more, which really surprised me. How could they love vitamins so much? They did.
Kids Natural Calm Multi is a liquid vitamin supplement that is formulated especially for kids. So I felt really good about giving this to the kids because of all the nutrients and vitamins, and they seemed to think it tasted just SO yummy. This can supplement anything that is missing in their diets. Whether you have a picky eater, or just need an immune system boost as I did.
It isn’t sweetened with sugar, it’s sweetened with organic stevia and organic agave. With everything that is sweetened with sugar these days, it is always a plus to find something not sweetened with it.
You can give this to kids up to 13, so that is a major plus. I think that most moms want something to be able to add nutrients and vitamins to their kids diets and the well forgotten magnesium.
Magnesium Deficiency creates-
-Stress
-Fatigue & Low Energy
-Inability to Sleep
-Muscle Tension, Spasms & Cramps
-Anxiousness and Nervousness
-Irritability
-Headaches
-Weakness
-Weakening Bones
-Abnormal Heart Rhythm
This is from the website:
When we are under stress (and don’t think that stress applies only to adults), our cells—which in their resting state contain magnesium—go through a change. Calcium, normally outside the cells, enters the cells and the calcium level becomes high. This is the action state in which a muscle cell, for example, will contract and tense the muscle. The magnesium then pushes the calcium out of the cell and the cell is again in its resting, relaxed state.

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 www.nutritionalmagnesium.org.

I didn’t know that, and I bet most people don’t. So not only are you giving them the nutrients and vitamins that you know they need, but you are also giving them more than what you know they need.
All in all, this is a very good product. My kids liked it, and I liked it because of it wasn’t sweetened with sugar, and it was so beneficial to their vitamin intake.

Blog Dare Prompt- Retro Toy

A favorite retro toy.

I really loved the super nintendo when I was younger. My dad and I went into a pawn shop and there it was. My dad usually went in and bought stuff {for what reason I’m not sure} I just remember going in there with him all the time with him. While he would be talking to the owner, I would be playing that nintendo everytime. Finally, he bought it for me. I guess he wanted to make sure it wasn’t something I would be non-interested in after a week.

I loved it.

I still think it is so much better than playstation the original. The cartridge is so much easier for kids to use than cd’s that can become scratched. I know. We found a regular playstation at the flea market for $20 and bought it for Aidan. We also bought 2 games, so that he and his half brother Alex would have something to do together, since they are 4 years apart.

Aidan had the games scratched up in no time. Although they still worked, I was still thinking how a super nintendo would be so much better. =)

Snapsac Review & Discount Code

 

One of my many New Years Resolutions was to be more green this year. Being green to me means no plastic bags of any kind, more earth friendly cleaning products in my home, and to recycle more.

The plastic bags are cheap to make, so they are used very frequently these days. Shopping Centers, Grocery Stores, Electronic Stores..

They are cluttering landfills, hanging off trees, and killing animals. According the the National Geographic Website “Somewhere between 500 Billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed each year.” That is a lot of plastic.

Snapsac is the perfect solution for ridding of these pesky little bags that seem to be everywhere.

There are five different sizes of Snapsac Totes. And 2 different colors Pop and Neutral. Grocery Tote, Petite Tote, Mega Tote, and they even have lunchboxes. They are super cute, easy to carry because of the thick handles, and are really cheap.

Grocery Tote

The Grocery Totes are $2.99.

I loved how it has a bottom stiffener, which is also lead free. No more broken bags that leads to cans rolling on the ground and busted milk gallons.

Petite Tote

On sale for $2.99, originally $3.50

This is the perfect size tote for packing a pair of shoes and gym clothes, a take-out meal home so you don’t have to use the plastic ones they provide. I have used it to take toys in to the doctor with my kids to keep them occupied. It beats stuffing them in my purse and then having to dig around for my wallet to get the insurance information out.

I love it.

Super Tote

$4.50

This is a tote that you could take with you to flea markets, so you aren’t packing a million different little bags and trying to juggle them. You could also use them to store clothes in for a longer weekend vacation. It would hold probably 3 or 4 changes of clothes. Or you could use this for the beach to hold the towels, so you don’t have everything in one bag. This is the perfect size bag.

Mega Tote

$7.50

This is a very big bag. It will definitely hold anything you want to put in it. I plan on using mine for garage sales when it warms up. It beats having a bulky box in the back of my car to hold my fabulous finds.

These bags offer easy and neat storage. The fold back up and snap shut. They are washable, so if something gets on it, you don’t have to spot clean it. You can just toss it in the wash on cool setting and hang it up to dry. Easy Peasy.

The company also offers free shipping on items over $25 {U.S. Only}, so you can get all 4 totes plus the lunch box and cooler for $30. That is an awesome deal, and these bags are definitely worth it.
