EcoStore Baby Products Review

I received two samples from EcoStore to review, and I love these products!
First is the Baby Shampoo. I love the scent of this baby shampoo - I can smell the eucalyptus. It is so clean smelling and doesn't have the aroma of baby powder. It lathers well and rinses easily. The other product is the Baby Body Wash. This pretty much has the same scent and is also very mild and doesn't irritate baby's eyes.

The great thing about these products is they are environmentally friendly and also natural, which is great for your little one. Plant based and no nasty chemicals. I will be ordering from them in the near future. Highly recommend it!

EcoStore carries other eco friendly products for bath and body, cleaning, and even pet care! I read on their site that 26 seconds after contact with most household cleaners, traces of toxic chemicals are present in every organ of the human body!!! WOW! I'm going to have to think about ordering some of their household cleaners, too. That is just terrible, and most of us never think about it when we reach for the all purpose cleaner that we use on our countertops and our children eat off of them afterwards. Not good!

Aunt Jemima Frozen Pancake review!

I recently received a coupon for a free Breakfast item from Aunt Jemima. We love getting frozen pancakes for a quick and tasty breakfast. Some really great recipes were shared with me by Aunt Jemima, and I want to share with you my favorite idea! They are called "Nutty Homestyle Hotcakes" and you just take heated Aunt Jemima frozen pancakes and spread peanut butter on one and honey on the other. Slice bananas and put on top of one, then make a sandwich. YUMMMMY!

This was so simply and so nice to eat while packing my daughter's lunch. She asked if she could have a pancake sandwich in her lunchbox that day. I said "SURE! I made her a peanut butter and jelly Pancake Sandwich. She loved it!

If you haven't tried frozen pancakes, I really do suggest it. It is such a time-saver! And honestly, sometimes they are better than the ones I cook. :-)

Thermapod Review and Giveaway! Winner - Willows6

Recently, I was on the hunt for a lunchbox that was waste-free, easy to pack and keep clean, and that was easy enough for my 5 year old daughter to open on her own. I came across Thermapod while searching, and was thrilled to receive one to review!

The idea of Thermapod came from a mom frustrated with packing lunches. It is convenient, reduces waste, saves time and money, and very cool looking, too. You can order them directly from their website for $24.95, and they come in a variety of colors. We got the blue one, which immediately got decorated with my daughter's name using paint pens.

I love the "hidden" compartment which holds a fork, spoon, knife, and even chopsticks! My daughter thought that was "way cool". Thermapod is made of durable plastic that is BPA free and dishwasher, freezer, and microwave safe. It is very lightweight, weighing about a pound. There are two compartments --- a larger one perfect for sandwiches and a smaller one for holding snacks or a drink. It doesn't seem as roomy as some other systems we use, but there is plenty of space to pack lunch for my 5 year old.

WIN IT!!
