Amalie's Creative Closet Review and Giveaway

I was lucky enough to be able to try out some lovely mama Cloth from Amalie's Creative Closet.

She sent me this lovely 3 pack of pads.

This is her tester set which includes a liner, regular and heavy pad.

This is her description directly from her facebook page:

Outer layers are a beautiful cotton print
3 inner layers of very thirsty cotton flannel
1 layer of waterproof PUL hidden inside

I really liked these pads. I experience no leaks (big plus!) The colors were gorgeous. After washing, there was no staining. (another big plus!)

They were also very thin. I really don't like those big bulky pads that make you feel like you were wearing a disposable diaper. Not these! Look how thin they are compared to a pen!

She also makes them now in cotton velour topped which just adds to how awesome these pads are. :) Velour is so luxuriously soft.

Here is a sampling of the items from her Facebook page:

Amalie's Creative Closet is so generous to offer up another tester set for one of my readers! You can win this gorgeous set.

Muller Yogurt Review and Giveaway

We go through a lot of yogurt in this house...a lot! I was offered a chance to review a new yogurt on the market...Muller Yogurt!

Muller is new to the market and is a product of the Quaker company.

They have 3 kinds of yogurt...

The Muller Corner- which is yogurt that also has an adjoining container filled with an add in filling that you can tip into the yogurt.

Comes in lots of fun flavors: Strawberry, Blueberry, Choco Balls (Chocolate-covered balls of crispy rice cereal), Crunchy Granola, Crispy Crunch (vanilla yogurt with sweet, crunchy chocolate and almond cereal clusters) and Choco Flakes (vanilla yogurt with sweet, crunchy chocolate and almond cereal clusters).

These are made with 2 percent Grade A milk and no preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrups.

My absolute favorite was the Choco Balls..I mean who can go wrong with chocolate??

The Muller Greek Corner- low fat, Greek-style yogurt paired with a side of delectable fruit or nut toppings.

Comes in even more great flavors: Caramelized Almonds, Strawberry, Blackberry & Raspberry and Honeyed Apricots.

The Caramelized Almonds Yogurt was so good!! I'm not even a big almond fan but this was good! Highly recommend it!

Finally they have the Muller FrutUp. I love, love, loved these!! They are a combination of fruit mousse and low fat yogurt.

These come in these flavors: Peach Passion Fruit, Splendid Strawberry, Radiant Raspberry, Blueberry Bliss, Luscious Lemon and Very Cherry.

My kids loved these the most. We liked to mix them up. I'm a big fan of lemon flavored food and I have never seen lemon flavored yogurt. It was AMAZING! Even my 18 month old couldn't get enough of the Luscious Lemon FrutUp!

Muller Yogurt currently available in stores throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes.

Giveaway Time!!

Muller has also sent me 30..yes 30!!...coupons for free Muller products to giveaway to my readers! How generous is that??

So, that means I will pick 3(!!!) winners this giveaway. Each winner will receive 10 free product coupons!

Rebecca's Reusables Review and Giveaway

I was very excited to receive my package from Rebecca's Reusables!

She sent a regular pad and a panty liner to try out...look how gorgeous these are!!!

These are by far my favorite pads. They are so unbelievably soft...doesn't even feel like I was wearing anything other than underwear.

Rebecca's Reusables regular pad is backed in anti pill fleece which is a moisture barrier meaning it doesn't let moisture through but still allows your body to breathe. The core is flannel and Zorb. Zorb is an amazing material that absorbs 10 times it's weight in liquid. They are topped in suede cloth which pulls the moisture in and away from you leaving you feeling nice and dry.

The liner is constructed pretty much the same as the pad. The only difference is the liner does not contain Zorb. Which was nice because it made it much thinner for those light days.

I did not experience any leaks while wearing these pads and after washing there was no staining. (Always a plus!)

She makes amazing custom pads. Look at what she has created so far:

I adore her color choices!

She also makes custom snack bags and sandwich bags:

Rebecca's Reusable is also giving away a pad set! You can win a set of one of her regular pads and a panty liner! Look at what you can win!!!

The Creative Capsule's Review and Giveaway

My daughter was thrilled to get this little box in from The Creative Capsule!

Inside was all the supplies needed to make one of their cool new "Pocket on a String".

Look how excited she is.

She really enjoyed herself. She concentrated really hard while working on it... As you can see from the picture, it's a really great fine motor activity.

We incorporated some math into this activity. We made patterns with the enclosed colored pasta. There was more than enough pasta to string on to it...don't worry about running out. We had enough to do another craft project with the excess.

The fun thing about this kit is that is has a little "pocket"that you attach on the end.

Pop the cap on & you have a nifty little place to hold your treasures. :)

So much fun! Look how happy she is! :)

She uses this every day! She likes to pretend that it's a pirate treasure and hides it in the house.

This was SO much fun to do together & very easy for children to do themselves. (Always a plus!)

It comes prepackaged in the adorable box in the first picture so it is ready to give as a gift.

The "Pocket On A String" isn't the only kit they have available. They have this cute "Monster Mate" kit. Paint & glue things on the body to create a one of a kind monster!

How cute is this "Loggerheads" Family? It's another one of the DIY kits that are available.

They also have Party Packs! No more wondering what kind of activities to do at a birthday party. The Creative Capsule includes everything you need for a fun birthday party activity.

For those of you located in the Salt lake area...The Creative Capsule is local! The offer birthday parties and more from a wide variety of themes!

The Creative Capsule is so generous to give away another "Pocket On A Stick" kit to one lucky reader!

Fresh and Organized Meal Planner Review and Giveaway

I had the opportunity to review a printable from Fresh and Organized. Monica, so graciously sent me a Weekly Meal Planner.

This is a LIFESAVER! I mean it too. Before I had this, most nights about a half hour before supper time, I'd be meandering through the kitchen trying to figure out what to feed my family. Most nights, it would be spaghetti (oh so easy) or Bupper (what my husband like to call Breakfast for Supper.) So, you know, not the healthiest meals.

However, with this planner I've come up with a system to feed my family that's not all carbs thrown together at the last minute. On Fridays, when I get all the grocery store flyers, I go through what is on sale. After I see what is priced best, I go to allrecipes.com and search recipes by the ingredients. Then I fill it in the meal planner. So easy! There is even a side bar to add your grocery list to.

I do plan on laminating my meal planner and use a dry erase marker to cut down on the amount of paper we use. We'll probably use 2 so that we can plan the next week's menus while still using the current week's.

Fresh and Organized has so much more than meal plans too! Her shop is filled with awesome printable to make your life more organized.

Here is a sample of items from her shop:
