Children's Oxylent Multivitamin Powder Giveaway / Review +$30 Value

It seem like such a challenge to find a great kids multi-vitamin on the market today.  The most difficult issue for me is to find a children's vitamin that contains Iron.  Take a look at your children's vitamins.....Is there Iron?

We have found one children's chewable multi-vitamin on the market that contains iron and we have used for years.  My boys are always asking why they can't have any of the "fun" vitamins.  I always explain they aren't as good for them because they are missing iron.

So when I found out I was going to be sampling and review an amazing new Children's Vitamin, I was thrilled.  I couldn't wait for its arrival and to surprise my boys!

The day finally arrived our  Children's Oxylent  Multivitamin Powder was delivered including a great bag of swag....Keep watching so you can enter to win some Oxylent of your own!

I first want to say I was impressed with how appealing the box packaging and individual packets of the multivitamin powder were.  I then I noticed the Children's Oxlyent product I received contained NO Sugar! Perfect only stevia to add a little sweetness.

Being a concerned parent, I had to check out everything about Oxlyent before offering it to my boys.  I was impressed to find out it is award-winning and contains a perfect blend of minerals and vitamins (including iron).

I found out the box of 30 premeasured Children's Oxylent Multivitamin Powder could each be added to water (4 to 6 oz) and create a fizzy Berry Punch Flavored drink. 

It is free of gluten, dairy, caffeine, and artificial flavors and colors (so don't worry).

What a fun, new and exciting way to get your children to take their daily vitamins.  Children's Oxylent is formulated for children ages 4 years and older.  Did you know the effervescent nature of Children's Oxylent offers exceptional absorption of vital nutrients, but is best taken with meals.  
So would my boys like Children's Oxylent?

I wish I could have caught all the excitement as to what they thought it was going to taste like...

Two out of Three loved it and couldn't wait to drink it again the next night.  They felt like they were drinking sparkling soda.  The enjoyed the tart and fruity flavor.  I had to remind them that this was medicine and only Mommy or Daddy could give it to them (always trying to be safe).  The only problem I had was if they do not drink it fast enough there is some residue that reminds in the bottom of the glass.
I know as soon as we are out of our samples, I will be placing an order from some more from Oxylent.com.  If you want to order some of your own and not wait to see if you are going to be the lucky winner...Please use the code, "BLOGOXYLENT" to recieve 15% off an entire order until May 31st, 2012.

So who wants to win their own box of Children's Oxylent, a Oxylent Growth Chart and some Swag???

From from Hawaii, Uncle Mikey's Hawaiian Dried Fruit Giveaway / Review 3 WINNERS ... Over $100 in Prizes

Not, very often do I get tongue tied when I am trying to write a review and feature such an outstanding giveaway.  But, I am there! 

I want to be able to capture the Pure Beauty behind this small and simply natural Hawaiian business.

 This Island Experience all started when I found a company on Facebook (Counts as an entry later).

Uncle Mikey's Hawaiian Dried Fruit

I was intrigued by the statement, "Dried fruit made with choice Hawaiian fruit... no weird stuff added!".  And excited to see that Uncle Mikey's was family owned and operated.

Who would have thought my excitement would lead to a phone call with Uncle Mickey direct from Hanalei, Hawaii.

Uncle Mikey is such a laid back and easy to talk to person with the Spirit of Hawaii in his voice.  I could feel his passion about his quest to bring "real" dried fruit to the world.  Yes, world.  Uncle Mikey has sent his All-Natural Hawaiian Dried Fruit to 12 Different Countries so far.  And there is no doubt in my mind that number will continue to grow. 

He explained that for every 100 pounds of fruit (Grade A Hawaiian Fruit) he and his family hand cut and place directly into the dryer; Approximately 8 pounds remain as the Final product to be shipped directly to your door step (Order on-line Today!).  This final product is also packaged and hand labeled with the weight and best eaten by date.

Uncle Mikey shared a very touching story about one of his daughters, who helps with this fruitful business.  She was in a store one day and saw Uncle Mikey's Dried Fruit on the store shelf.  She was so proud to know she had cut the fruit personally and labeled these bags which were going to be enjoyed by others. 

Uncle Mikey believes in supporting local farmers, as he can relate since he worked in Taro fields for many years after moving to Hawaii as a teenager.  He also knows that in order to produce a gourmet tasting product, he must use the best of the best when it comes to fruit.  Especially since the flavor of the fruit stands alone!  Nothing is ever added to the fruit.  It is 100% All Natural! 

I had no idea until talking with Uncle Mikey how most other Dried Fruits are created.  Many of these companies add sugar.  By added sugar, it adds to the weight of the fruit, up to 4 times which actually makes "candied" fruit...not dried fruit.  If you don't believe me go check in your cabinet and look at a package of dried fruit?

  So what do you think would happen if you added this store bought fruit into a glass of water?  Would it rehydrate into the fruit it is suppose to be?  I doubt it.  Put a piece of Uncle Mickey's fruit into a glass of water...it will rehydrate into its true natural self. 

I wanted to make sure and share that while I was speaking with Uncle Mikey, he was busy packaging up bags of his dried fruit.  Wow!  That just proves how much passion and love is put into each bag.

Uncle Mikey sent me out the most amazing Dried Fruit to Review and Fun T-shirt also (Plus, an amazing Chocolate Bar - that features his dried bananas..."All Natural Milk Chocolate Bar, Peanut Butter & Banana by Wild Ophelia...younger sister of Vosges Haut-Chocolat).

Okay, now how do I put into words my (our) LOVE and ADDICTION to this REAL DRIED FRUIT EXPERIENCE...

First of all.....THANK YOU Uncle Mikey's for Teaching me the real meaning of dried fruit and its beauty that is is truly worth the cost.

Our taste buds are in sensor overload!  Wow, wow, wow!  Now I just need to figure out the words to capture the Island Magic for you all to read, know and buy Uncle Mikey's for yourself...or WIN if you are one of the 3 Lucky Ones.

I couldn't believe the aromas that greeted our noses upon opening these hand packed and labeled 1.6oz bags of Hawaiian Fruits.  I could close my eyes and feel the Island breezes upon my face.  It was like I was being transported to the Islands through the fresh fruitful smells.  Really, I have never smelled anything so fresh...in a dried fruit before.  Even after enjoying way too many pieces, the pleasant and fragrant aromas remained on my fingers.  Which encouraged me to eat more.

I can't wait for you too see the photos I took of Uncle Mikey's natural beauty, that he and his family are able to capture with each piece of fruit.

Dried Pineapple. 

Each piece made me think of a flower in full bloom.  Look at the beautiful "petals" of Pineapple.  I enjoyed the slightly chewy and leathery mouth feel of this Hawaiian fruit.  The pineapple was so sweet and retained its natural character.

Dried Hawaiian Bananas

I loved how the bananas were cut into lengthwise pieces...not circular like I am use to seeing in the stores (candied...not dried naturally like Uncle Mikey's).  These bananas were full of flavor and slightly chewy.  I couldn't image what a fresh banana must taste like on Hawaii.  These dried delights were so sweet and natural without tasting over ripe.  I need more!!!

Dried Guava

This will put your taste buds in their place! What a flavor explosion on natural tartness. 

They may have been tart, but I couldn't stop eating them.  These were my 3 year old sons favorite out of all the fruit.

I have never had a fresh papaya, before but now I want to try one.   

Dried Papaya

The Papaya was very mild and showed off its natural sweetness.  I found these the most tame off all the fruit, which is its natural flavor profile. Aren't they beautiful!!

So who want to win an Uncle Mickey's T-shirt and some of his amazing REAL Dried Hawaiian Fruit??

How about 3 of you???

This would be an amazing product to keep on hand with Summer arriving and being away from home and active.  I know it will be in our backpacks for some hiking we have planned.

Enter for your chance to win below and don't forget to show Uncle Mickey's some love on his Facebook Page!!!

ZeroWater 23 Cup Water Filter Dispenser Giveaway / Review $39.99 Value. Magical Mother's Day Giveaway Hop.

Welcome to the 

Magical Mother's Day Giveaway Hop

The giveaway begins at 12:01 a.m. on May 7, 2012 and
ends at 11:59 p.m. on May 14, 2012.

MY GIVEAWAY IS:

Ever since I moved over 15 years ago, near the Rocky Mountin region of our great county, I have always had to use a water filter dispenser that is stored in our refrigerater.  The water in our area is so hard and full of impurities, which in turn makes the water taste terrrible.  I am a certain, can't be the best to put into our bodies. 

Our water dispenser had filters that needed to be changed.  We changed them when we noticed the water tasting not so good anymore.  It was finally getting to the point our dispenser was starting to crack from years of use.  Plus, the dispenser looked terrible.  There was a large amount of build-up around the spiget where the "filtered" water came out.  This build-up would not come off.  It also made me wonder how much filtering was actually going on.

I began to search online to find a new water filter system.  But, I needed to find on that could be stored in our refrigerator and high capacity, as we go through a LOT of water everyday!  Plus a high quailty product that I would be proud to use and allow my children to use.

So my love of ZeroWater was born!  Thank you ZeroWater for this amazing opporunity and for sharing the same chance with 1 Lucky Winner!

ZeroWater sent me one of their 23 Cup Filter Dispenser Systems, that included one Ion Exchange Filter and an Electronic Tester.  A $39.99 Value....And 1 person is also going to win the same...Check below to enter and Good Luck!  Dont' forgot to enter all the other amazing Giveaways.

ZeroWater uses a Patented 5-Stage Filter vs. a Standard 2 Stage Filter (which is what my old dispenser used).  So, what does that mean?  It means ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with FIVE combined technologies provide the ONLY filtered water that meets the FDA definition of purified bottled water.  I wish you could all see me smiling....as a parent.....Finally something I can used to help provide better and afforable water to my boys!

I was thrilled to find out ZeroWater removes virtually ALL dissolved soilds.  Dissolved solids are a combination of inorganic things like salt, metal and other elements.  These soilds come from natural and man-made sources like road salt, old pipes, leaves and many other things. 

So did ZeroWater make a huge difference with our hard water?

Here is our...straight out of the faucet TDS reading.....

Here is our....straight out of our old water filter system TDS reading....

Here is our....straight out of our New ZeroWater filter system TDS reading...

Isn't that just beautiful!!!  And we truly taste or should I say don't taste the difference.  ZeroWater is so clean and crisp.  There is no after taste, what so ever.  It is Perfectly, perfect!

Our boys love that they can just push the button to enjoy a glass or two of ZeroWater.  I love the easy fill feature.  There is a large section of the lid that opens up so water can be added without a mess and quickly.  Thank you ZeroWater for making a difference in many peoples and families lives!!

So What are you waiting for?  Get busy and enter to win a ZeroWater of your own!  Want to Jumpstart like ZeroWater on Facebook and Twitter and as you will see those are extra entries.

Stain fighting made easier with Shout® Trigger

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Triad Retail Media for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Motherhood continues to delight, amaze and cause complete exhaustion on a daily basis.  Can you say, “Three very active little boys”?  I wish I was able to bottle up all their creativity and energy.  I know it would be worth millions!

Their creative energy continues to lead me down the challenging battle of the washing clothes every day!  Yes, everyday…for real!!  But, not only am I washing clothes very day…I continually encounter new and more bizarre stains.

Don’t get me wrong…the “average” stains like grass, grease, ink and food stains happen ALL the time at our house.  But, I have recently had the “blessing” to battle tar stains and dog p**p.  I am always on the lookout for a stain fighting product that will help me defeat and destroy these stains and rescue my boys clothing so they can wore again out in public without feeling embarrassed. 

I have used and tried out many stain fighting products in the past; one of my favorites is Shout®.

Shout® Trigger is designed with stain-fighting ingredients and enzymes to quickly penetrate, break up and remove tough stains!  Any mothers dream Triple-Acting Formula stain remover!  As the name suggests, Shout® Trigger comes in a convenient bottle of a trigger dispenser.  Making the application of Stain fighting power easy to apply, even over large stains (which Lord knows I am a master!).  I love how Shout® Trigger is thick and clings to whatever you are spraying.  The reason I said “whatever” is that this stain product is safe for all colorfast washables and it works in all temperatures of water.

I feel Shout® Trigger is different from other stain fighters because it has a hand free way to apply the stain remover.  You can easily spray the thick and powerful formula directly onto the stain and let it do all the dirty work!  So if you are a busy mom, who is looking for an all in one stain fighter…. Shout® Trigger is for you.  I know Shout® Trigger saves me a lot of time and mess.  It is so easy to use and actually works!  You can just head over to your local Walmart and pick up Shout® Trigger for yourself!

I would love to hear what you think.

Mother's Day Gift from Dale and Thomas Popcorn Giveaway / Review $24.95

Thank you Dale and Thomas Popcorn for surprising me and one of my lucky followers with the "popfect" Mother's Day Gift.

What beautiful packaging to create the special gift.....Mother's Day Four Pack Sampler of gourmet Popcorn.

I was so excited to be approached by Dale and Thomas again to help make another special day "popfect".  The best part is this Four Pack Sampler contained a few flavors of popcorn I havent' had the opportunity to try yet.

Chocolate Chunk N'Caramel:

The caramel that coats each and every perfect popped piece of popcorn is buttery and rich.  And then Dale and Thomas answered my prayers (THANK YOU!) and added chunks of deep rich chocolate...I almost feel guilty even talking about it (I said almost!  I think I need another handful.

Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Drizzlecorn:

Like I had shared in my Valentine's Day Review and Giveaway for Dale and Thomas this combination is not overly sweet or super strong to peanut butter. The combination really works. I am excited to enjoy another bag of this sweet treat.

Hall of Fame Kettle Corn:

The perfect blend of salty and sweet.  Dale and Thomas uses sea salt and kisses this special popcorn with a touch of pure cane sugar.

White Cheddar and Black Peppercorn:

This combination is how I imagine the rich enjoy popcorn at their personal movie theater.  Light and fluffy with a small about of hulls.  It is also crunchy and covered in Land O' Lakes creamy, aged white cheddar cheese, fresh cracked peppercorns and clarified butter.  A bite of heaven!

SmartSilk Certified Asthma and Allergy Friendly Bed Pillows Giveaway / Review $100 Value USA and Canada

Anyone in need of a good Great Nights Sleep?

Who here feels like their bed pillow is...
1) Hard as a rock.
2) Lumpy, bumpy.
3) So thin and flat you can't find it to use it.
4) Too soft with no support.

I know personally I have a #3 and #4 in my bed...or should I say Did Have (keep reading...it is exciting with a chance to WIN a Fabulous Prize!!! - US & Canada).

And to complicate matters...as it seems like nothing is easy anymore.

My husband and one of our children suffer from Asthma and Allergies.  I am a firm believer when it comes to purchasing new products for them, they need to be Certified Asthma and Allergy Friendly, if at all possible.  I look for this label.

So when it was time to change out our dysfunctional pillows on our bed (lots of tossing and turning) I began my search for something that was Asthma and Allergy Friendly for my husband and myself.

I was thrilled to find a company called....

SmartSilk   

"SmartSilk features the latest evolution in bedding.  When you sleep on SmartSilk you are sleeping on layer upon layer of millions of strands of pure luxurious silk enveloped in 100% all natural, breathable, pre-shrunk soft cotton."

SmartSilk offers Complete Bedding Sets, Mattress Pads, Comforters, Pillow Protectors and Pillows.  

My husband and I where thrilled to find out SmartSilk was going to send us two of their Standard Size Pillows to review and provide two of these heavenly Standard Size Pillows, which are 20" x 26" ($100 Value) to one lucky person!

Look at how our New SmartSilk Pillows arrived...

I couldn't believe how pancake flat they both were!  It was the major excitement in our house with all our boys watching to see if the would "grow" back into a pillow.

We were not disappointed.  I couldn't believe how they quickly came back to life and shape.  They were nice a soft and puffy.  The All Natural Cotton Quilted outer shell was so clean and felt cool and refreshing to the touch.  The exterior was created using breathable, pre-shrunk 32 - 38 cotton yarn.

Inside a SmartSilk Pillow is an All natural silk fill liner.  This luxurious silk fill is made by layering one sheet of pure silk over another to produce heavenly comfort and protection that only silk can provide.  Beyond the silk fill liner is an All natural polyester micro gel fiber filling. 

SmartSilk pillows also include the "SmartSilk Shield Advantage" providing a proven barrier against allergens, dust mites and pet dander.  These irritants live on most down and synthetic pillows.

My favorite feature is the "Smart Temperature Advantage".  What does that mean?  The SmartSilk Pillow constantly, naturally and automatically adjusts to your body temperature.  So your head and neck are kept at the perfect temperature and dry, due to the moisture wicking properties.  This water repellent non woven material is crunch-free encouraging a more comfortable, deeper sleep with fewer interruptions.

I was surprised at what I found out on the tag...

You can launder your SmartSilk Pillows.  The Asthma and Allergy recommendation is machine wash your pillow every 8 weeks.  It is recommend you launder in cold water on the delicate cycle.

Well, our first night of restful sleep on our SmartSilk Pillows began after we were able to sweet talk our 3 year old out of our bed and away from the "new" pillows.

These pillows are worth the price!  I still am unable to comprehend how our pillows did not warm up when laying on them. Perfection!  They were so soft, yet maintained enough firmness to allow the necessary support for our heads and necks.

Thank you SmartSilk for bring back the restful nights sleep my husband and I had been craving.
