In December of last year, I posted about ways to make holiday recipes healthier.  I had attended a webinar put on by Calorie Count and they provided great tips to help with holiday eating.

Calorie Count, just launched a brand new phone app, and I thought I’d let you know about it.  This app is a free, downloadable diet tool that allows users to track and manage weight, search and log nutritional data, popular exercises and healthy recipes all while on-the-go…a time when critical dieting decisions are often made.  Essentially, the Calorie Count App serves as an all-in-one diet coach, nutritionist and workout trainer!

Earth Friendly Products are pure and simple, their tag line sums it up “For Love of the Planet”. 

This family owned and operated company first began making plant based cleaners in the 1960s, and now make over 150 products for the home.

Here are a few (of many reasons) that Earth Friendly Products is the expert in green cleaners.

When Amber hits the pool with her friends or goes to camp, I’m always concerned she’s more occupied with fun than remembering to reapply sunscreen.  Her fair skin burns quickly, and then we have days of complaining, itching and flaking, and years of hoping the UV rays didn’t do irreparable damage.

Even if she does remember to reapply the sunscreen, who knows if it’s been absorbed completely before it has washed off from the pool chemicals, and all the high spf sunscreen a family needs to get over the summer can be costly.

That’s why we like to make sure she’s wearing a swim shirt.  Besides protecting her from the sun, it protects her form oogling boy eyes too!  Anyway…

They keep going and going; and now you’ll know when your rechargeable batteries are ready to use again!

Energizer knows that little (well and big!) children that use battery powered toys can get into mischief when the batteries are drained.  But they want to know your story too!  So take out those video cameras and have your child explain what kinds of “alternative play” (shaving cream all over the walls, giving the dog a pedicure, maybe taking all the packing peanuts out of the latest delivery box and decorate the living room?) they come up with when their electronic toys run out of juice.

How many of you got your toilets cleaned for Mother’s Day? Uh huh, I figured as much, me neither.  Scrubbing Bubbles sent me a pretty good Mother’s Day gift though.  Well it probably wasn’t meant to be a Mother’s Day gift, but Scrubbing Bubbles has made cleaning my toilets so easy, it might as well have been one.   And I’m even going to show you how they work, and then share some too!  Because no one likes to clean toilets.  Right?  Please tell me you’re all nodding right now.  Phew… 

Foaming soaps are one of my favorites to use in my home.  The little tikes who come visit our home really think it’s fun to wash with too!  I recently received BabyGanics Fine & Handy Handsoap to review from a place where you’ll find all kinds of Eco-friendly Baby Products – EcoMom.

I like the Fine & Handy Handsoap for a number of reasons.
