Easter Basket Totes from Lands End



Lands End Easter Basket Totes

Our Easter Tote is 100% cotton — just like our famous Canvas Tote, and made just as well. A wide round opening makes it easy for your child to gather plenty of eggs, or for you to create and display a seasonal arrangement (fill with grass and show off your decorated eggs or load it with pastel-colored candy for after Easter dinner). And this season, we've added an expandable cinch sack to keep your eggs and candy even more secure! With a reinforced bottom and handles, it’ll hold loads of loot, year after year, and even hold up when the weather’s less than perfect.



You can pick these up at LandsEnd.com  in FIVE different styles, and they are on sale NOW for just $14.99 each!!


You can also get the totes personalized for an additional $6.00. I love that these totes come in cute styles for boys and girls, and that the top closes up! With 7 kids, we have had MANY MANY instances of kids losing eggs because they just fall out of the basket, this is one of the best features!

Be sure to check out all the styles, and everything else Lands End has to offer.

Lifestraw- Making Contaminated Water Safe to Drink


\


Xander has been in Boy Scouts for a couple of years now. Before then, I didn't really know much about how to do anything outdoors. I always tell people, I was born in Oregon, which is a VERY outdoorsy place. But, I grew up without a dad, and my mom never was a person for camping or fishing. 

When I was 11 I was sent to "Outdoor School" with my 5th grade class, which was a requirement in public school is Oregon. You HAD to go...as much as I didn't want to. 

The little I learned there, like how to make a bunson burner, and how to fit everything into a pack, I did retain, so I am grateful. But, one thing we were never taught was how to get water from a lake, and drink it. Now, as an adult, watching Survivor every week, I know you have to boil the water. But, what if you can't make fire? 

Enter Lifestraw. 





LifeStraw Steel is ideal for hiking, backpacking, camping and travel. The 2-stage filtration process removes bacteria and protozoa and reduces organic chemical matter and chlorine. 





You seriously, just stick the Lifestraw Steel into the water source and drink like you are using a straw. The filter inside the Lifestraw cleans the water INSTANTLY! This is amazing. You can purchase it here.









Introducing the new LifeStraw Go - now with a carbon capsule that reduces chlorine, bad taste and odor! Available in 5 colors.
With our Follow the Liters program, for every LifeStraw product sold, a child in a developing country receives clean, safe drinking water for an entire school year.
  • Uses replaceable activated carbon capsule to reduce bad taste, chlorine and organic chemical matter for up to 100 liters (26 gallons).
  • Uses advanced hollow fiber membrane technology (0.2 microns) to remove waterborne bacteria and protozoa up to 1,000 liters (264 gallons)
  • Removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria (>LOG 6 reduction), including E-Coli
  • Removes 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites (>LOG 3 reduction), including Giardia & Cryptosporidium
  • Reduces turbidity, filtering down to 0.2 microns
  • Available in 5 colors
  • BPA Free Tritan Bottle
  • Replacement hollow fiber membrane cartridges available
  • Replacement carbon capsules available
  • Does NOT use iodine or iodinized resin

Overall, I am so glad that I can use these products with my boys, and in the mean time, I have learned a lot more about the great outdoors.

JOLLY TIME Pop Corn Introduces New, Deliciously Simple, Simply Popped Microwave Popcorn




Who doesn't love popcorn? In our family, we go through a LOT. Every night is movie night, and during the day, my home school kids love to snack. I hate thinking that I am giving them GMO corn, it's a real concern! So when I saw new Simply Popped by Jolly Time, I knew I wanted to try it out. 

Simply Popped is an easy and delicious microwave butter popcorn that is made with just four simple ingredients: butter, sea salt, non-GMO popcorn and oil that combine to make an exceptional perfectly buttered, perfectly salted flavor. This gluten-free, fiber-rich snack contains zero grams trans fats and no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. The new popcorn is packed with wholesome, whole grain goodness that keeps people feeling fuller, longer. A snack that pops up hot, fresh and steaming and with only 35 calories per cup, Simply Popped is a snack consumers can feel good about choosing.


We all tasted the difference right away. The new Simply Popped was definitely more clean tasting, it didn't have the fake buttery, salty taste of other popcorn. We really enjoyed it, and will be buying it again.

Silly Street The Game by Buffalo Games


With homeschooling, my kids tend to get out and about a little more than a public schooled child. We are always on the go, we do school work at the park on most days, that's a benefit to living in Florida! But, even with getting out, there are definitely times when I feel like we are home and not as active as I would like to be, especially with some of the kids now wanting to play a lot of video games. 



Recently, I was sent Silly Street game by Buffalo Games to check out with the kids, and they LOVED it! First of all, it says 4 years and up, and with our family, that was a definite. I would make sure the kids are at least 4 to play. Second, my older kids loved this as much if not more than the younger! 

Silly Street is a super fun, extra silly game that gets kids up and moving, while teaching them valuable character-building skills like creativity, adaptability, confidence and enthusiasm! Each player takes a turn drawing a card, following the hilarious instructions on the card (like singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" in a deep hippo voice or doing karate like a kangaroo) and then moving the number of spaces shown on the card down Silly Street. 

Buffalo Games has so many different games to choose from, We are definitely going to be checking out more!

Here are just a few that look really fun.

Slither.io Mystery Packs by Bonkers Toys




My kids have always liked games they can play online. They usually hear about them from vloggers they follow. A year or so ago when Riley saw a vlogger playing Slither.io he ran in my room and went to try it out himself.

Riley was hooked on the game almost instantly. He played it whenever he had free time, and even make his own vlogs about it!

Recently, I was sent a few of the Slither.io mystery packs to review, and Riley was SO excited! He had no idea anything Slither.io existed! He tore into the packs and was thrilled to get 3 different colors! He placed them on his desk, and now really wants to collect them all.


You can purchase your own mystery packs at Walmart for about $8.99 each! Bonkers Toys is also introducing several other Slither.io toys, so keep an eye out on their facebook page for more info.

Slither.io has been played more than 180,000,000 times just in December 2016, you read right, more than a hundred eighty million times!

Paqui Chips




I have always enjoyed tortilla chips and would even order them at certain restaurants because I just loved how they would make them.  But doing it that way is costly and time consuming especially when your kids enjoy the chips as much as you do. When you go to purchase tortilla chips at the store it is amazing the different types, textures, shapes, and flavors there are. I personally love the spicy flavored ones.


Paqui is gourmet tortilla chips,  which were inspired by the Aztec's. Paqui started with handcrafted tortillas, which they spent time and effort in perfecting the perfect taste. Paqui hand roasts its jalapeno, and uses fresh juice from cilantros. With so many people leaving happy they decided to make a chip, when they started to make the chip they again looked for the best way. Paqui looked to the Aztec way, cooking corn and stone grinding it to make fresh masa. The result....... amazingly yummy wonderfully thin Paqui Tortilla Chips! Paqui is the Aztec word for Happy!


Paqui has many flavors of their tortilla chips, some are Wild Wild Ranch, which has  zesty taste to it. Cool Salsa Verde, a yummy lime like taste which for me taste like cilantro. Nacho Cheese Especial, which is in the name a cheesy goodness, and Haunted Ghost Pepper. Okay so our family seems to be a hot and spicy type when it comes to chips and well the Haunted Ghost Pepper, wow. If you have ever had the ghost pepper you would know its not for the faint of heart, it is super spicy and sticks for awhile. Well the chips are exactly like that, so if you do dare, make sure to have a glass of milk or something to help calm the heat :)

There are many many more flavors of the Paqui Gourmet Tortilla Chips but these were the few which I was able to enjoy with the family. What also makes the Paqui brand stand out is they are GMO free, nut, soy, and MSG free!

Water Wubble Water Balloons



Who doesn't love water balloons? I know I did as a kid, and even as a mom, I love having water balloon fights with my kids! What I don't love is the filling and tying, and finding the itty bitty pieces in the yard when we are done.

Water Wubble Waterballoon Balls are the new best way to have a water balloon fight! All you do is fill with water, push the end of the water balloon inside itself and you have a nice, big, FULL water balloon, that even the kids can refill themselves because they NEVER pop!


Water Wubble Water Balloons come in a pack of 8, with 2 colors so you can play on teams! 


Water Wubble Ball- The makers of the Super Wubble bubble ball bring you Water Wubble, the amazing refillable water balloon.

  • One set takes the place of hundreds and hundreds of regular water balloons
  • Easy-fill nozzle allows for filling by just pressing up to the faucet, holding under running water or filling from swimming pools, or any other body of water
  • Reusable, so there is no need to waste time running around your backyard picking up all those broken water balloon pieces
  • Seals itself so no more struggling to fill and tie water balloons

Del Monte Fruit Refreshers


 My kids LOVE fruit cups. Pretty much any kind, anywhere. I always wished there was a bigger, more "adult" cup for myself. Luckily, now there is! Del Monte Fruit Refreshers are 1 serving of fruit, packed in a delicious juice, with flavors geared towards those over 10 (unless your kids are like mine, and they just LOVE fruit, any kind!)



I love putting them in the fridge and grabbing a cup in the morning when I wake up. It's a quick, easy breakfast for me on the way to class, and with so many varieties to choose from, I never have the same one twice in a row!

You can purchase Del Monte Fruit Refreshers at most major grocery stores.

NEW Teddy Soft Bakes by the Makers of Teddy Grahams!





Since I can remember my kids have loved Teddy Grahams. They love the varieties, they love how small they are, and they love that they can have a handful at a time. When I first heard about Teddy Soft Bakes, I knew we had to try them!

Teddy Soft Bakes come in 2 flavors: Chocolate cake with vanilla filling, and Vanilla cake with chocolate filling.

The first thing I noticed about these, is the color. They definitely look different than other individually packaged cake products. The color is much more muted. So I looked at the packaging, and I saw NO artificial colors! That explains it! They also have no high fructose corn syrup, which I am super excited about.

Teddy Soft Bakes are also made with quality ingredients, like milk, eggs and flour, so they are better for your kids than other products.



Overall, my kids really like them! They like that they are a good size for fitting in their hand, and I love that they are a great snack.

You can purchase Teddy Soft Bakes in most major grocery stores for around $3-$4 a box.

Oilogic Ear and Tummy Troubles




I have always been the mom that tries an herbal remedy before a synthetic. When my boys were little, we had a big supply of teething tablets, and a box of essential oils. As they grow, we still use many of the oils, but for different things. Recently a mom was asking me what I used when my kids had ear pain, and of course I told her some of the ingredients that are in the Oilogic Ear and Tummy Troubles.


Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil , Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Peel Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Oil, Helichrysum Angustifolium Flower Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E)
So many of these oils are helpful for ear and tummy pain.

For ear troubles, roll on Oilogic® Ear & Tummy Troubles Essential Oil blend on the outside of the ear and behind ear in a downward motion to neck. Do not put directly in the ear.

For tummy discomfort, roll on generous mount on tummy and follow with "I Love U" massage (seen below). Repeat "I Love U" motion 3 times. Roll-on not intended to use more than twice a day. 


You can purchase the Oilogic Ear and Tummy Troubles online here for just $9.99!
