Clorox Green Works Natural Dishwashing Liquid Review and Giveaway (Closed)
May 29, 2009 | Filed Under Giveaways, Reviews | 177 Comments
I’m constantly looking for ways to “go green” and do my part to help our enviroment. Being a family of five living on one income, the budget sometimes doesn’t allow for me to splurge and buy the more expensive greener alternatives. However, Clorox has come out with Green Works that is a line of powerful and natural cleaners.
I was sent the Clorox Green Works Natural Dishwashing Liquid to review. The first thing I noticed was the bottle. I liked the clean curvy design and it is actually a bottle I don’t mind being on my counter.
I love that Clorox Green Works Natural Dishwashing Liquid is 99% natural. It is dermatologist-tested and made with biodegradable ingredients that remove grease and baked-on food, leaving your dishes clean and shiny.
I never thought about it until now (bad mommy, I know) about the chemicals I was using washing the dishes. No telling what I was exposing my family too. Here I thought I was doing my job and washing the dishes but it terrifies me thinking about the residue that could have been left behind by the dishwashing liquid.
I’m a total fragrance junkie. I love to use products that smell good. So when I poured the liquid on my rag, I was thrilled with the scent. We just got the original, but I find that it smells really nice! I can’t wait to try some of the other scents like simply tangerine and simply lemon.
When washing the dishes, Clorox Green Works Natural Dishwashing Liquid did a great job of cutting through the grease and getting our dishes clean. It had a nice lather that rinsed off easily. It was easy on my hands and didn’t leave my hands feeling dry and irritated.
If you haven’t tried the Clorox Green Works products I highly recommend them! I will be purchasing some of the other products in the near future.
Buy It:
You can purchase Clorox Green Works Natural Dishwashing Liquid at many mass retailers like Target and Wal-Mart for around $3.99.
Giveaway:
Clorox is giving away one bottle of Clorox Green Works Dishwashing Liquid to one Simply Being Mommy reader.

Trendy Tadpole Review and Discount Code
May 27, 2009 | Filed Under Reviews | 3 Comments
Julie Pruitt started Trendy Tadpole back in 2004 when she decided it was time she worked for herself. She was inspired by her students and by the children that she babysat. Julie brings pop culture, a little nostalgia and fun into each one of her designs.
Julie sent Peyton the King tee and can I just say that my little man looked adorable in it. The tees run small so when you order you will need to order a size up. I got the 12-18 months because Peyton can still wear 9 month shirts and it fits him great. I love that this tee is hip and trendy and full of bling!
With over 30 designs to choose from, you are sure to find something you’re just dying to have. I actually have a couple favorites.
There are quite a few others that are just as hip and trendy that I would love to have for Peyton. I chose the tee but they are also available in a onesie, long sleeve lap tee, raglan tee and long sleeve tee. They are available in a large range of sizes from 3 months to a kid’s size 12.
Peyton has worn his tee several times and it still looks like new. We washed the tee inside out and dried it on low heat and it did shrink some, but that is expected with a cotton tee. I was a little worried about the graphic, but it still looks perfect, just like the day we got it.
Buy It:
Trendy Tadpole tees are available for purchase on their website. Tees are normally priced at $22.00, but enter the code “wholesale” at checkout to receive 50% your purchase.
The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox Giveaway (Closed)
May 27, 2009 | Filed Under Giveaways | 119 Comments
Since Father’s Day is right around the corner I wanted to showcase the Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox. If you know a new daddy or daddy-to-be, this would make a perfect gift.
The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox is filled with 14 tools to help daddy have fun in the dreaded task of diaper changing. The toolbox includes: a mask, a pair of goggles, a poop poncho and many other funny and practical items.
I was extremely lucky because Ryan never had a problem with changing diapers. To be perfectly honest, he was and is the one who does the diaper changes whenever he’s here. With our first child, Taylor, he was the first to change her diaper in the hospital and I must say he did a fabulous job! It just came so natural to him.
A little about Fun Stuff 4 Babies:
Fun Stuff 4 Babies is a Tampa, FL based company whose mission is to develop products that encourage and acknowledge Dad’s involvement in raising children. The company was created in 2008 by Chris and Julie Hartsfield, and their debut product is The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox.
The Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox gives daddy everything he needs for that first diaper changing.
Their newest product is the “Real Men Change Diapers” bumper stickers you see at the top of this post. One will be included in this giveaway. The bumper stickers are $2.00 with $.95 S & H.
Buy It:
You can purchase the Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox directly from the website for $34.99. This will surely be a gift they will never forget.
Giveaway:
One lucky reader will win a Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox just in time for Father’s Day.
How to Enter:
Visit Fun Stuff 4 Babies, and in a comment let me know which item in the toolbox is your favorite.

Happy Green Bee Review and Giveaway (Closed)
May 26, 2009 | Filed Under Giveaways, Reviews | 205 Comments
I am extremely excited to introduce you to a company who really has it together. Happy Green Bee is an environmentally friendly company that was founded by Roxanne Quimby who was also the Queen Bee of Burt’s Bees. After selling Burt’s Bees to Clorox back in 2007, Roxanne’s newest adventure is Happy Green Bee.
Happy Green Bee clothing is made from organic cotton that is grown on living soil that is free of herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers which increases the health and safety of our environment. Happy Green Bee clothing is dyed using earth-friendly, low impact Swedish dyes. All of Happy Green Bee products are made in fair-trade certified factories which are monitored for worker health and safety.
Happy Green Bee has an awesome assortment of clothing and accessories for babies and kids. The bright colors and striped patterns are cheerful and stylish. Happy Green Bee also offers wonderful gifts that would be perfect for a baby shower or new mommy to be.
Happy Green Bee sent Peyton the reversible hoodie in Sky. The classic pullover design makes it easy to put on and take off. As you know Peyton just turned one, so he is in that not wanting to stay still long enough to get dressed mode. Getting him dressed has become such a daunting task. I really appreciate the ease of slipping the hoodie on and off.
Another feature I love about the reversible hoodie is that it is reversible! Peyton is a magnet for messes. Not sure what it is, but this child has a talent for making a mess. The reversible hoodie is like two in one because if one side gets soiled, just flip it over and you have a clean hoodie.
There are many reasons to buy organic. But for me, it makes me feel better about the products I bring into my home and allow my children to wear. Their skin is so delicate and sensitive and I want to try my best to protect them while I can.
Buy It:
You can purchase the reversible hoodie directly from the website for $32.00. While you are there, check out all of the other great products Happy Green Bee has to offer.
Giveaway:
I’m happy to announce that Happy Green Bee is offering one lucky reader a $40.00 Gift Certificate good towards any items in the store including the factory store.
How to Enter:
In a comment, let me know what you would spend your $40.00 Happy Green Bee Gift Certificate on. Make sure to leave your email so that I have a way to contact you.

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets Review
May 26, 2009 | Filed Under Reviews | 3 Comments
I recently received the Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets to review and honestly I’m in love. Doing laundry has become so much easier.
If you haven’t heard of the Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets then you are in for a total surprise. When I first heard about these, I knew I had to try them because being a family of five I am constantly doing laundry.
The new Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets has just simplified your laundry routine and made a little extra space in the laundry room. Instead of a big, bulky bottle of detergent, a bottle of fabric softener and a box anti-static sheets all you need is the Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets. It is 3 products in one little sheet.
I’m sure you’re wondering how it works, right? It’s really a simple. All you do is drop a laundry sheet into your washer while the water is running. The blue detergent portion of the sheet is released during the wash cycle. Once the wash is complete, transfer the laundry sheet into the dryer along with the clothes. The color stripe is then heat activated by the dryer to remove static and soften clothes.
Within the past year and I can not tell you how many I’ve either spilled the detergent or dropped the open bottle, etc. My just turned one year old little boy always wants to be held, and when I say always, I mean always. As soon as you put him down, he cries. So, holding him in one arm while trying to pour laundry detergent in that little cap can be quite daunting. These sheets are so easy to use and save me much aggravation.
The Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry sheets come in three different scents: Spring Oasis, Tropical Escape and Pure & Clean.
Buy It:
You can purchase Purex 3-in1 Laundry sheets in many national retailers nationwide. Suggested retail pricing for both the 20 sheet starter kit which includes a convenient dispenser and 24 sheet refill pack is $5.99-7.49.
