Disney Themed Ready Pac Cool Cuts Salads and Mini Meals Review

I get super excited when I find great healthy options for my kids for snacks and lunches.  It's even better when I find meals that are not only healthy, but fun for them to eat and enjoy.  Ready Pac now makes Disney Themed Cool Cuts Salads and Mini Meals.  These are great for school lunches or even a quick and easy meal at home.  

The Disney Themed Cool Cuts Salads are a perfect healthy lunch for on the go.  I love packing my kids healthy items like this in their lunches and snacks.  These are great to put in lunch boxes.  They come with everything you need to enjoy a great lunch.  They even have a plastic fork inside.  The best part about these is that they taste great.  They definitely do not taste like they are pre packaged.  My daughter and I tried the Shake It Up Caesar Salad and loved it.  These taste fresh and are made with quality ingredients.  The Caesar Salad combined romaine lettuce with chicken, dried fruit, croutons, cheese and a delicious dressing.  These are a fun way to get your children interested in eating more veggies too.  I had to look at the nutrition information on the salad too and was really impressed that it was low in fat and I was thrilled to find out that the dressing is made with yogurt to lighten it up.  These salads are a winner in our house!  They come in 4 great varieties including . . . 

Caesar Salad

Harvest Salad

Pizzeria Salad

Taco Salad

I was really excited to also see that Ready Pac is now making Disney Mini-Meals too.  My 5 year old goes to Kindergarten for only half of a day and I'm always looking for healthy options for her to bring for snack.  I  have a hard time getting her to eat breakfast in the morning, so I try and give her a larger snack to fill her up. She loves the Disney Mini Meals.  She inhaled the Cinderella Apples, Ham and Yogurt Mini Meal that she chose for lunch today.  She was so excited about eating this because she saw Cinderella on the package.  It really made the Mini Meal fun for her to eat.  These are made with healthy ingredients and I really feel good about giving them to my kids.  I really wanted to see what these were like, so I sampled it myself too and it really did taste good.  I like that these are low in fat too.  These come in 4 great varieties that my kids really love.  They are available in the following. . . .

Apples, Ham and Yogurt

Pizza Bites

Turkey, Crackers and Cheese

Veggies, Chicken and Pretzels


I am truly impressed by the Disney Themed Ready Pac Cool Cuts Salads and Mini Meals.  These are now a new favorite in our house.  My kids look forward to having these for a quick and healthy meal.  What variety would you want to try with your children?

Snap N Step - Shoe Lace Locks! Review and #Giveaway 10/12 CLOSED

My 5 year old is learning to tie her shoes, but honestly she still needs help.  She started Kindergarten this year and I have noticed that her tennis just don't want to stay tied.  I would go with tennis without laces for her, but we can't because she has super narrow feet.  

I love the idea of the Snap N Step.  These are great fashionable shoe lace locks!  I tested these today on my daughter and they worked great.  They are easy to put on the laces.  It takes a few seconds.  Ok so exactly what does the Snap N Step do?  It keeps your child's laces tied tight all day long.  My daughter went to school and came home with her laces still tied because of the Snap N Step.  This is a little thing you snap and velcro right on the knot of the laces.  It keeps the laces tied tightly.  I honestly love this because I don't want my daughter to have to ask 500 times a day for help with her laces at school.  I know the teachers are busy and truly have more important things to do.  The Snap N Step even kept her laces tied tight during recess.  She runs around like crazy and they were still tied!  These are great for toddlers on up.  The packaging says ages 4 and up.  They are really cute too.  My daughter received a tie dyed pair and they really are fun.  They come in so many great color options for both boys and girls.  

You can purchase your own Snap N Step lace locks directly from their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

Baltic Amber Jewelry is something fairly new to me, but it's not anything new at all.  It has been around for some time now.  Amber was actually used in ancient medicine.  It contains an acid that is said to help the body fight disease.  It has been said to help a number of things including - pain from teething and more.  However, not just babies can benefit from Baltic Amber jewelry.

The Baltic Amber jewelry from Babyamberteething.com is made really well, but also beautiful.  They offer so many choices as far as styles and colors.  The amber itself comes in a few color options.  They also offer beads in a variety of different shapes.  Babyamberteething.com offers necklaces and bracelets.  I received a wonderful necklace made of Baltic Amber for my son.  He loves it and it's amazing looking.  He was so excited to wear it today.  I received the necklace that's called daddy's kiss.  My son is 7 and I requested the 15 inch length.  It fit his neck perfectly.  The necklace comes in lengths ranging from 12 inches up to 15 inches.  If you are interested in a necklace like this they are available to purchase directly from their website.

Le Mollee Luxury Faux Fur Weighted Throw Review

I absolutely love snuggling up on the couch in the Fall and Winter with a book and a comfortable throw blanket.  I received the most wonderful weighted throw blanket yesterday.  My entire family has fallen in love with it.  

My kids are usually a bit cranky when they just get home from school.  Yesterday my son relaxed on the couch with the blanket and really enjoyed it.  It was really nice because it was a calming and relaxing time.  He actually seemed to be very calm while relaxing with the weighted throw.  How is the Le Mollee Weighted Throw different than just a regular throw?  It is very different.  This throw blanket is completely unique.    The blanket is made of faux fur, so it's nice and soft and fluffy.  The softness is very comforting.  The inside of the throw is filled with pellets.  This adds some weight to the throw blanket.  The weight allows it to mold to your body.  The blanket weighs about 10 lbs.  It feels very different at first, but it's very comforting.  It doesn't feel too heavy either.  My kids absolutely love it.  I am really enjoying it too!

About the Le Mollee Weighted Throw - It has been said that pressure stimulation (like that from the throw) is calming.   The blanket is made out of very plush fabrics.  The choices include - faux fur, minky and luxurious chenille.  The fabrics add to the amazing comfort of the blanket too. I truly saw this work on my children too.  There are a number of people using the Le Mollee Weighted Throw.  It has been successful for things like insomnia, comforting those with ADHD, depression, anxiety and more.  

The Le Mollee Weighted Throw is like relaxing in ultimate comfort.  They look really nice draped on a chair or couch too.  They are really plush looking.  They also come in a variety of great colors and patterns too.    They are a wonderful gift to treat yourself or someone you know.  Who do you know that would benefit from a Le Mollee Weighted throw?

Carter's Watch the Wear Review and $25 G/C #Giveaway 2 winners 10/12 CLOSED

If you have kids you probably look for clothing that is durable.  I find that it is important to buy clothes that last.  My kids can definitely be rough on clothes, so I buy brands I can trust.  Do you look for a specific characteristic in children's clothing?  What is really important when it comes to quality?

I received an outfit from Carter's Watch the Wear  and was really impressed.   I personally love clothes that are made to last!  Carter's Watch the Wear offers a line of kids clothing that is really durable.  The best part is that they combine durability with great styles.  The clothes are cute!  My kids are at the age where they really want to wear clothes that are fun.  My daughter really loves being able to pick her own outfits out in the morning.  She received an adorable legging set and loves it.  It's soft and comfortable, made well and she thinks it's cute.  I honestly can't believe how reasonable the Carter's Watch the Wear clothing is.  The adorable legging set my daughter received is only $9.99 on sale.  That is really reasonable for 2 items of clothing too that are built to last.    

   

Carter's Watch the Wear offers clothing for both boys and girls.  I had fun browsing the items that they offer.  I've included some of my favorites below.

Grumpy Princess Girls Skincare and Haircare Products Review and #Giveaway 10/10 CLOSED

I think it's important to teach children about hygiene at a young age.  My daughter loves to use products like mom uses.  I think it's fun for girls to do that.  However, not all products are geared or appropriate for children to use.  The Grumpy Princess line of skincare, hair care and body products are made just for girls.  They have geared their products toward girls that are pre-teens and teens.  They make products that are made with natural ingredients to create a quality skin care line.

The Grumpy Princess offers 3 products to help your daughter create good hygiene habits.  The Grumpy Princess 2 in 1 Hair & Body Wash is a quick way to clean up in the shower.  It has a mild fragrance and I like that it isn't too strong.  It is great because it's versatile and can be used as body wash and shampoo.  The  Grumpy Princess Sparkle Face and Body Lotion is a great way for girls to moisturize.  It's all natural and it's fun.  This lotion has some fun sparkles in it that girls love!  I also love the idea of the Face and Body Cleansing Cloths.  These are great when your girl needs to wipe he face up, but it on the go.  They are gentle and are simple to use.  If you are interested in purchasing Grumpy Princess products they can be ordered directly from their website.
