HALO has been nominated for the Cribsie Award! + a giveaway of course!

You should already know how much I love HALO- both their products and the company! This is truly a company that cares about your child's well being, and with that, they have created wonderful products. These products keep our children comfortable and safe, and give us as parents one less thing to worry about.

HALO has many products, but the one I want to tell you about today is the HALO SleepSwaddle. This is an amazing thing- it is their Sleep Sack plus a swaddle- in one. Awesome. (don't forget to enter my giveaway for a sleep sack from HALO as well!)

...So awesome that in fact it has been nominated for the cribsie award in the "best sleep inducing swaddle blanket" category! I am positive it is no mistake that any of HALO's products would be up for an award, and there is no doubt in my mind that they deserve to win as well! 

The HALO Sleep Swaddle comes in a variety of colors and prints, sizes newborn and small. The Sleep Swaddles also come in cotton, microfleece and chenille. This amazing design gives baby the great feeling of being swaddled but with guarantee that the blanket will stay away from his or her face. All babies are different, so this can be used with babies arms in or out.

The swaddle is also removable, offering the use of the amazing sleep sack wearable blanket.

Body After Baby- Raisels- Review & Giveaway

Looking for a naturally sweet snack seems so much easier now than it did just 5 years ago. Unfortunately, if you are like me, those choices get pretty narrow and things can get boring. I love raisins, my daughter loves raisins, but sometimes we are in the mood for something else. Something different. Raisels is a brand new snack that offers the wholesomeness of raisins- pure and simple, but with an added punch of sour and pizzaz!

 These are also a great option for those of you who don't like raisins as well!

Raisels are all natural golden raisins that have been covered in a sour concoction. This reminds me of that sour goodness you find on sour candies. You would never guess that this concoction is all natural as well, and contain no artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup or anything that would take away the great benefits of eating raisins!

Raisels are a snack you can give your kids or snack on yourself without thinking you are loading up on junk. Rich in antioxidants, fat free, cholesterol free, no sodium, 100% of your daily serving of vitamin C, certified Kosher- you should be bouncing off your seat right now wanting to try these! 

I had the opportunity to review Raisels with the help of my daughter, and they are not like anything we have ever tried before! There are 5 different flavors, all very unique and interesting!

Raisels are a great snack to get hooked on too- they are a great alternative to candy, cookies, even less sugar than dried cranberries!

Raisels are available in in four different flavors- with a new one on the way- Watermelon-YUM!

Sour Apple

Sour Lemon Blast

Sour Orange Burst

Sour Peach Pucker

-My Thoughts-

I think Raisels is a great alternative to other sweet snacks!

Raisels come 1.25 oz. boxes that are a great size, and perfect for purses, lunch bags, diapers bags, etc.

Sold at several stores across the nation, such as Dollar General and online as well.

-Win It-

One reader will win a big box of Raisels featuring a variety of flavors!

Mandatory Entry- Visit Raisels and tell me which flavor you would love to try!

Body After Baby- Food Should Taste Good- Review & Giveaway

Does the name not say it all? I am such a food devil, and I find it so very hard to eat wholesome foods and still be satisfied. Since today is National Tortilla chip day, I thought you should know that Food Should Taste Good is a company that has some great tasting chips that you won't feel guilty about eating. Everything is made from all natural ingredients, ingredients that you can easily say- not crazy stuff we don't want our kids eating... and even better- your fingers won't get all greasy!

Pete Lescoe, founder of Food Should Taste Good worked in restaurant and grocery stores growing up, and knew that food tasted better when made with real ingredients. He then created his own brand of products by doing just that- and perfected it as well!

All Food Should Taste Good products are

-All Natural

-Certified Vegan

-Certified Gluten Free

-Certified Kosher

- Cholesterol Free

-Contain no MSGs

-good source of fiber & whole grains

-low in sodium

-not genetically modified

-no artificial dyes, flavors or preservatives

... You would think these would taste like cardboard. I gotta tell you, I polished off a bag of these in one sitting. (seriously, I have no idea why I have not lost weight this week...geez.) I got to review a few bags from Food Should Taste Good, and I would love to share with you my thoughts! There are several flavors to chose from, and I picked some I knew I would love, and a few I was sketchy about as well.

Jalapeno-

These are seriously the best chips I have had in awhile! I love spicy, but usually with that you get loads of salt. These are not that. These are wonderful. They are a light, crispy tortilla chip and have an amazing kick! 

These would be perfect paired with guacamole or salsa!

Chocolate-

Seriously. chocolate tortilla chips. I was sketchy about this flavor, but it turns out this foodie loves all things chocolate! These are great any time of the day, even with ice cream for dessert! 

The Works-

This flavor tastes just like a loaded bagel- onion, garlic with poppy & caraway seeds!

Great with a spinach or artichoke dip.

Cheddar-

This is my daughter's favorite flavor- a smooth rich flavor- great alone or with a salsa.

Blue Corn-

These chips taste like they were just stone ground in my kitchen! Seriously super fresh and about as wholesome as tortilla chips can get! 

-My Thoughts-

Food Should Taste Good has it figured out! All the flavors I tried are yummy!

On each bag, and online, you will find great pairings! There are even recipes on their website!

Food Should Taste Good is sold at most grocery stores and should be easy to locate!

These are great for eating right and are perfect for lunch- either your or the kiddos!

-Win It-

One reader will win 5 bags of their choice from Food Should Taste Good!!

Body After Baby- Week 2

Okay, I skipped a week, er, two. My kids had bronchitis. I have done 4 days straight on Jillian Michaels Shred, and guess what? My weight is 161. I actually gained a little less than a pound.

I have no good excuses, it just seems I have having a heck of a time losing weight while breastfeeding and keeping my sanity! ha!

Hopefully next week will be better!

What about you? have you been shedding off the weight?




weight loss so far- 1.8 pounds. ugh.

Mommy's Medicine Cabinet- Review & Giveaway

One of the hardest things about being a mother is watching your child be sick, knowing that there is nothing you can do except comfort them and wait it out. My kids both just got over bronchitis, and it was miserable- mostly for me. They seemed pretty much fine. The hard part was packing up two sick kids in the car to head out to the pharmacy for some pain relievers. As much as most of us have been in similar situations, Priscilla and Mike, parents of 3 children themselves, created Mommy's Medicine Cabinet. 

Mommy's Medicine Cabinet is an online pharmacy, with your children in mind. They have created a wonderful on the go full medicine cabinet that is customizable just for your kid! 

Shopping is easy- you can shop from the 3 different bags that are already made up of practically everything you could imagine-

Infant's Medicine Cabinet

ages newborn - 2 years of age.

The infant's medicine cabinet comes with everything you see in the above picture.

Children's Medicine Cabinet

ages 2-6

Deluxe Medicine Cabinet

ages newborn - 6 years

I had the opportunity to review the Children's Medicine Cabinet, and I was thrilled, because this is such a practical thing to have, and with my oldest going to school very soon, I had better be prepared!

The new Kate Bag is precious! The material is really nice, and you would never guess that it was packed full of medicine!

Inside it was loaded up!

Here is what all was inside the Children's Medicine Cabinet-

The “Kate” bag
Liquid Antihistamine	4 oz.
Hydrocortisone	1 oz.
Acetaminophen chews	30 count
Probe covers	30 count
Digital thermometer
Children’s Ibuprofen liquid	4 oz.
Alcohol wipes	6 count
Nasal Saline	1.5 oz.
Bandages	30 count
Triple Anti Bacterial Ointment	1 oz.
Petroleum Jelly	3.75 oz.
Bee Sting Swabs

Want to hear something even better about Mommy's Medicine Cabinet?

When you make a purchase, you also get a free notification service of reminders and updates. This means that if a product you have is about to expire, you will get an e-mail to remind you. Also, if a product you have is recalled, you will get notified! I love this! It seems medicine is constantly being recalled, and who has the time to worry about that? 

You can also refill anything you may need at the Mommy's Medicine online store, look up questions you may have about medications, side effects and so forth!

-My Thoughts-

I love this. Every parent and grandparent should have a Mommy's Medicine Cabinet!

So very practical- yet so very stylish- the Kate bag is cute!

More than a first aid kit- you get reminders when a product is expired or has been recalled!

Prices start at $59.99- you will spend about this much if you were to buy all the products in each bag. 

-Win It-

One reader will win either an Infant Medicine Cabinet or the Children's Medicine Cabinet 

from Mommy's Medicine Cabinet!

Mandatory Entry- Visit Mommy's Medicine Cabinet and tell me who these would be for and which kit you would love to win!
