My clothes love Arm & Hammer Laundry Detergent! R+G - 6/20 ( Open to Canada only)

The little yellow box with baking soda in my kitchen, is all I knew about Arm & Hammer.  Little did I know about their wonderful environment friendly products! Fir 160 years, Arm & Hammer has continued to effectively use the power of baking soda in a neatly packed container to use for baking and several other purposes.

Today, consumers appreciate that ARM & HAMMER^® Baking Soda is an effective, yet gentle cleaner and a real alternative to using harsh chemicals, which makes it great for use around food, kids, and pets. It can also be used to replace other household and personal items that may have ingredients that are harmful to the environment.

I always use a small tray of baking soda all the time to keep my refrigerator free from odor. If you see Arm& Hammer's website, you can see the many products that carry baking soda as one of the main ingredients. You can also find more ways to incorporate baking soda as an effective cleaning agent. 

Arm & Hammer sent me a big box of different Laundry Detergents to try and I am so glad to have been given the opportunity.

I sincerely love products that are kind to the environment and to my pocket . And Arm & Hammer meets both!  Arm & Hammer Essentials Liquid Laundry Detergent provides more savings with consumers spending $0.21 per wash load for Tide Original versus $0.12 per wash load for Arm & Hammer Essentials Liquid Laundry Detergent.

• Combines Arm & Hammer Baking Soda with plant-based soaps. 
• Available in Mountain Rain scent and Perfume and Dye Free formulas.
• Specially formulated for both standard and technologically advanced high efficiency washers.
• Gentle on fabrics.
• Contains no phosphates or bleaches. 
• The new “New Clean Rinse”formula leaves less residues.
• Safe for septic tanks and contain biodegradable soaps.

The biodegradable plant based soaps boosted with baking soda have the cleaning power to tackle stains providing clean, white, fresh laundry at a fraction of the cost of the leading liquid detergent. The detergent is true to every word and thanks to the plant based soaps, my clothes will last longer. If you are financially savvy person, choose Arm & Hammer to save on laundry products

Sizes: 2.03L/35 wash loads – SRP: $4.99 - $5.99

The new ARM & HAMMER plus OxiClean® Power Gel laundry detergent is made of a

revolutionary new gel formula that is thick and powerful , providing more power in every drop.

When I used it with some of my child's stained  shirts, I used it as a pre-treater and since it  has the consistency of a gel, it sticks to the clothes during the wash and eliminates stubborn stains. It is also easily rinsed out in the process.The baking soda simply freshens the fabrics and gives it a clean smell and look.I really look forward to using this on some of the clothes that need some stain-fighters.

The new gel formula attacks the toughest stains to power them out, quickly dissolves in the wash, and then rinses clean, leaving no residue behind.

Available in an Ocean Breeze scent. Delivers 31 medium wash loads in the 1.62 litre size

Available at retailers across Canada

SRP: $4.99 - $5.99

If you want to remove tough stains like dirt, grass, chocolate the first time you wash you, this is what you need - Arm & Hammer plus OxiClean. It is 66% the cost of other leading detergents on a a per wash load basis. After using this, I felt that this is a bit stronger than the Power Gel but delivers the same clean results. I am not inclined much on pre-treating clothes due to lack of time so this one was a hit during my laundry time. Stains removed, cleaned and freshened - all at an affordable cost. Perfect for me.

• Attacks the toughest stains to power them out, quickly dissolves in the wash, and then rinses clean, leaving no residue behind.
• The added power of ARM & HAMMER® Baking Sodahelps freshen, while the OxiClean stain fighters works to attack and remove stains.
• 2x concentrated enzyme formula works great on the toughest stains.

Available in Fresh Scent, Cool Breeze HE

Delivers 35 medium wash loads in the 1.84 litre size and

70 medium washloads in the 3.69L size

Available at retailers across Canada

SRP: $4.99 - $5.99

Arm & Hammer Essentials® Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets offer more for the same price as the leading brand. Offering 100 sheets per package - 20 sheets more, we spend less cents per sheet. I usually skip the fabric softener in summer and use it during the winter. So even 20 sheets extra will make a huge difference. It is clearly more value for money and isn't that something we all want?

• Contain biodegradable softening agents, natural essential oils.
• Softens clothes using plant-derived softeners
• Packaged in 100% recycled paper board packaging, making it a no-brainer choice for Canadian families.

Zonderkidz: HEAVEN, GOD'S PROMISE FOR ME ( R+G) 5/16

Title: Heaven, God's Promise for Me

Price: $16.99
Coming August 2011

About the author: Anne Graham Lotz

Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of Billy and Ruth Graham, is the president and CEO of AnGeL Ministries, a nonprofit organization that under girds her efforts to draw people into a life-changing relationship with God through his Word. Anne has spoken on seven continents, in more than twenty foreign countries, proclaiming the Word of God in arenas, churches, seminaries, and prisons. She is the award-winning author of nine books, including her signature book, Just Give Me Jesus.

Synopsis: 
The inspirational words of Anne Graham Lotz tell of the joys and comforts of heaven. The beautiful rhyming text and engaging, familiar images help children understand that heaven is real and Jesus is waiting for them to come someday.

Zonderkidz has become one of the most loved publisher in my house! I really love the choices they have for children. In this title, Heaven - God's Promise for Me, Anne Graham Lotz has taken reading to a whole new level, to heaven! It is sure a happy book to read. It begins with two young kids who ponder about the death of their dear grandmother and are taken to see what is heaven really like.

I did not have to explain the concept of death to my 3 yr old as the book mostly covers what happens in heaven and what it looks like. So it was like talking about a new place which is real.I knew I wasn't talking about a land in a fairytale and whatever little his mind could grasp was all the truth. It got very interesting when we read about how we can swim with sharks and pet the lions as there will be no danger in heaven. That struck a chord and he sort of understood that we were talking about a very interesting place. The more often we read, the more he will know of a place called "Heaven". 

Since the world is facing many dangers everyday and death will be something that we have to face and children will have questions. The book will be more useful for slightly older children with whom questions can be discussed. 

Anne Graham doesn't stop with just a book about heaven but goes on to urge parents to see if their child is interested in committing their life to God. This book is a great tool for Sunday School as the colorful illustrations are certain to paint a wonderful picture of heaven in a child's mind.

From the author ..."My desire is that this little book will help you be intentional about passing genuine faith in Jesus to the children to whom you read it," Ms. Graham Lotz writes. "I have found that helping my granddaughters to focus beyond the grave has helped ease their pain, comfort their fears, enlarge their faith and has given us opportunity to talk about heaven. As a result, I have written this book for them and for you."

Win it !

1 lucky reader will have the opportunity to win the above book!

Mudpuppy World Floor Puzzle : R+G - 6/15

After my experience with Mudpuppy product, I'd like to introduce them to you as "Puzzle Specialists". Truly, they have created such wonderful material for children that their product quality has exceeded my expectations.

They do carry other toys and games for children, but I do love their line of puzzles! And their very budget friendly prices, make them more affordable. I saw something that I have used as a child and really loved playing it countless times. It is the Learning Wheel and it Mudpuppy has it for $10.It is an excellent learning tool!

I chose to review the World Map Floor Puzzle which sells for $17 and it is totally worth it. It comes in a really sturdy box with a red rope handle. The pieces go right in however you want and a good shake puts them all in place!

Puzzle measures 2 x 3 feet 24 Jumbo pieces Sturdy box with a colorful rope handle

My son has loved maps since he was really young and even now loves to learn names of countries and different places. So I thought he would like this puzzle. We played with it and he really enjoyed the puzzle. The pieces are big enough for little hands to hold and it is easy for their minds to put them together. He needed help as it was his first time of  putting a map together.

The best features were that once the puzzle is solved, there are pictures of animals , for eg. a picture of a penguin in Antarctica and a Camel in the desert areas. Fish swimming in the oceans and buildings, players etc make it more interesting. There is a LOT to talk about with your child once the puzzle is put together. The details and the pictures are simple and not overwhelming for a young child. Very nicely done with little clients in mind!

Now here's your chance to win a Our World Floor Puzzle for your little one!

Here's how you can win it:

Pink Princess $15 GC: R+G - 6/15

When I came across this website, my first thought was "Oh, it is for girls". It was quite convincing as I gaped at all the beautiful dresses for little girls. Flower Girl Dresses, Easter Dresses, Christening Gown, Tutus and PRETTY is not just enough to describe them.See for yourself!

Pink/Brown Embroidered Polka-Dot Taffeta Baby Dress

 $49.99

Red Gathered Taffeta Dress w/ Velvet Waist Band

 $49.99

Silver / Pink Embroidered Taffeta - Felicity -$42.99

Then when I saw this cute little outfit, I knew there was more to it than just for little girls. They have very smart looking outfits for boys as well. Pink Princess is a great place to shop for boys formals.

I chose to review the Khaki 5 Piece Polyester Shorts Set . I really liked the look of the set with the cap especially. I was anxiously waiting for it to arrive as I wanted my son to try it. Being his first formal wear, I wasn't sure how he would like it. When it came, it looked just as stunning as it is in the website.

Pink Princess clothes are made in USA. I really loved the soft cotton white shirt and my little one did not mind putting it on. However, he did not like the slightly rough feel of the polyester on his shorts. So he wouldn't wear it.The cap was a bit tight for his head. The size of the shirt and shorts was just the right size. If you want your child to grow into it, you should consider buying 1 size bigger. 

I really like the variety that is available at Pink Princess and would definitely consider buying an outfit in a slightly thicker cotton suit material.

Now thanks to Pink Princess, 1 lucky winner will have the chance to win a $15 GC to shop at Pink Princess!

Hasbro's "CANDYLAND The world of sweets" is one sweet game ! R+G - 6/15

This is the first board game that my son played with me. It is hard to get him to sit and focus on something.He would prefer to drive his trucks and cars and make traffics jams at the entrance of rooms than play a game.Sounds like a boy to me!

So when I got this game, I did not open it right away and left it for him to get curious about it. He asked me several times if we could play it and I told him that he had to wait. I wanted him to look forward to playing the game so he will sit there for a while.And the day arrived when mommy would open the box which he thought would be full of candy! LOL. Like the name says, the board appears like a land filled with cupcakes and lollipops and colorful candies. 

This is a VERY GOOD game, if your toddler won't sit for a long time. The simplicity of this game is what makes it apt for a toddler whose attention span is fairly short.


I tried to tell him that board games are not only fun but good for the brain as it helps him think. He usually gets the "It is good for your .." part, but what follows that is still all a mystery to him! Sometime during the game, he told me "Mommy play this, it is good for your skin!" I just burst into peels of laughter!

It comes with a sturdy board, a pack of cards with bright, solid color squares and 4 little figurines who we decided to name " Candy Men". The less pieces and less rules, the more the focus on what actually is expected of the child when they play. That is the best feature of this game and I love that.

So we pick out one card and as per the color, move the candy man along the colored path. That's it.It is not even a matter of winning or loosing, though it can be played competitively by slightly older children. Lots of color matching, moving and the board itself is a treat to the eyes. Ideally we would have loved to have something sweet after the game but since it was evening, we decided to skip that.But that would be a real treat!

Candy Land retails for $9.99 .

One very lucky reader will have the chance to win the very same  Candy Land Preschooler Game right here on my blog !

Pause for a Tea Moment with Libre Tea Glass : R + G (6/15)

Being the tea lover that I am, Libre Tea has certainly added some relaxing moments to my busy life. Don't we all love to sit down and stretch our legs and just simply enjoy a delicious cup of tea? I won't think here before I say "I do"!! Because even at work, I make sure I take 3 mins to pop my cup in the microwave and quickly drop my green tea bag in. Whatever work I am doing, I enjoy every sip! 

Now with the arrival of more and more loose leaf tea with exotic ingredients, who can resist these aromatic and invigorating teas? Functionally, I thought it would be more work to make tea with loose leaf tea when on the job. Did you think so too? Now join me in thanking Libre Tea for giving us the privilege of enjoying loose leaf tea even while at work! Even on the go!

I loved the chic, compact and sleek design of the Libre Tea Glass Original. For $24, it is awesome!

• The Libre glass ’n poly has a health-conscious glass interior for fresh taste and a durable polycarbonate exterior for ‘on the go’ durability. 
• The stainless steel tea filter is surrounded by BPA free polypropylene as is the lid interior. 
• Can be used 2 ways to brew and travel with loose leaf tea.

Details:
Volume: 260mL
Size: approximately 7.5” tall, 2.5” diameter
Materials: glass, BPA free polycarbonate, stainless steel 

There is a filter attached right below the lid. So you can use it with tea leaves in the glass and the tea can be sipped.You can also place the tea leaves in the filter and allow the water to brew it and every sip you take will be rich with flavor. 

 Remove the lid and filter; carefully add hot water to below the rim of the tea glass. Twist the filter on securely; add 2 -3 grams of loose- leaf tea on top of the filter.
Wait 2-3 minutes prior to twisting on lid so steam pressure does not force a leak upon inverting.

After a brief cool down period, twist on the lid securely and slowly turn the glass upside down to steep the tea.

 Twist off the lid and filter together. Enjoy. (Note: spent tea leaves remain in the filter and can be reused) 
Isn't this awesome?!


Now all I need is more loose leaf tea. I love tea with different flavors like jasmine, pineapple, roses, mint and lemon. I have been asked at work about my new Tea Glass and everyone wants one considering how easy it is use. Just gotta enjoy these tea moments - Thanks Libre Tea!

If you thought an extra handle would be more comfortable, you have it !

This is really the perfect tea mug I can ever dream of ! It retails for $32.50. These tea glasses make great gifts for any occasion. They look just beautiful as is and more beautiful with tea in it. Hmmm..I have a confession to make here.I loved the look of this glass so much that I didn't want to put tea in it when I received it.I left it in my sight for a few days before I actually used it.I do admire the glass with all the tea leaves in it even when at work,"Isn't my glass pretty?"


Now 1 of my lucky readers will have the chance to win 1 Libre Tea Glass Original!

Review: Moon Dough by Spin Master

My first try with play doh was not successful as my little pack of energy - my son, loved to spill them all over and it was even hard to pick up the tiny pieces. And of course they dried out when I forgot to put them in the box.I thought to myself what would work for a kid and a mom..tadaaaaaaaahh! I heard about Moon Dough and was over the moon when I was asked to review this wonderful product. I figured it is more value for money if the product can be kept to be enjoyed for a longer duration.

The package does not only contain just the dough but it is a whole set which promises magical fun. For my son it is the best dough suitable for his age and they went the extra mile to include the animal zoo play set.Which toddler doesn't love animals?!

Moon Dough is an amazing molding compound unlike anything you have ever seen before. Launched last fall, Moon Dough became an instant hit. It is soft and marshmallow-like, cleans up easily, and never dries out so you can use it again and again. Moon Dough is the latest and greatest molding compound that kids love to make their own fun creations! Age: 3+

Package Includes:
• 1 Magic Molding Zoo
• 2 Winder Walkers
• 3 Animal Molds
• 1 Fence Mold
• 3 Colors of Moon Dough

Set-up was easy.

I just had to attach the base to the vertical frame, put on the stickers provided to give it a zoo touch. There is a gate sort of an attachment that is fixed between the vertical bars and that is where the animal figures go. The twister is located right on top and a little handle attaches to facilitate easy turning. With this you are good to go! Now stuff some dough ( remember to work the dough a bit to make them into a lump) into the animal figures, attach the legs and attach them on the gate.Twist the handle until the animal clips off the gate and walks away!

It is the coolest part where the child will know that the effort of stuffing the animal and the turning, has paid off! My son really looks forward to see the little animals walking. It is really a lot of fun. We sang some zoo and animal songs and it was a memorable time I had with my son.

The best feature is that even when left outside this Moon Dough never dries out.About the mess? It is inevitable :) My son did put it on the carpet and I did just like it was mentioned on the pack.Used a brush and a comb to scrap them off and vacuumed it.It wasn't bad. Overall, my son had fun with it and it keeps him occupied for a while and I can hear him talking to the animals.And mom-friendly too! 

I give Moon Dough 5 shining stars and it is simple yet wonderful.

This is just one of the amazing products that Spin Master carries. This will make a great gift for a 3 yr old as they will mould and smile their time off!

Suggested Retail Price: $19.99.

Tropical Traditions Deodorants : R+G 5/27

Tropical Traditions is simply a treasure chest of awesome products that are so natural and healthy. And they keep adding new products so that we don't have to look for products that are mixed with unhealthy substances.This time I chose to review their line of deodorants

Tropical Traditions Natural Deodorants are chemical-free, paraben-free, and aluminum-free deodorant roll-ons made from our popular organic Virgin Coconut Oil as their base. Your underarms are one of the most sensitive and absorbent areas of your body, so don’t put harmful chemicals into your body through antiperspirants or harmful deodorants! .

I wanted to avoid aluminum and other such chemicals in the deodorants I use and hence switched to buying from the organic section.Nevertheless, I wasn;t very satisfied with my findings. Or I should say, I didn't like the fragrance or they didn't have the desired effect. Using perfume everyday triggers a migraine for me.So strong scented ones were not my preference. I decided to give the Natural deodorants from  Tropical Traditions a try.I received them in 3 scents.

Classic Organic Deodorant Roll-on

Frankincense Organic Deodorant Roll-on

Lavender Organic Deodorant Roll-on

Ingredients

Classic: purified water, organic Virgin Coconut Oil, organic jojoba, plant based emulsifying wax, grapefruit seed extract, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), organic essential oils of cedarwood, geranium, tea tree and patchouli.

Lavender: purified water, organic Virgin Coconut Oil, organic jojoba, plant based emulsifying wax, grapefruit seed extract, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and organic essential oils of lavender, lemon, and rosemary.

Frankincense: purified water, organic Virgin Coconut Oil, organic jojoba, plant based emulsifying wax, grapefruit seed extract, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), and essential oils of wildcrafted frankincense and sandalwood.

Note: We only use high quality organic essential oils which are distilled with low temperature and low pressure over an extended period of time. Low temperature and lower pressure have proven to be the most effective method of obtaining all of the essential constituents from the plant, and provide our products with the very best quality fragrances available. Imported from France.

I really loved the results after using them! They work very well with the body as they are natural substances.They do not give out odour when combined with sweat.They just keep you smelling fresh and I did not have to be conscious after walking for a distance or just being out the whole day. They are effective and very safe to use. I highly recommend them!

They are on sale now for $8.50! So it is a good time for a good and safe deal. After all it is a big deal to smell fresh and clean!

Thanks to Tropical Traditions, 1 lucky winner will get to win 1 deodorant of their choice!

Monkey Dunk : Hasbro's Preschooler Game ( R+G) 5/27

I was overjoyed when I received a set of preschooler games for review from Hasbro. My little boy seems to be moving away from certain toys as they do not interest his developing brain anymore. He looks for more challenging games and when I showed him Monkey Dunk, he immediately developed a liking for it.

Set-up is very easy and hardly takes any time.It includes:

ELEFUN popper, 16 monkeys, gameboard with backdrop and tray, 20 banana tokens, lily pad blocker, instructions.

We skipped the tokens which are the bananas and just aimed the monkeys which are designed to jump and land, into the cup shaped trays. The trays just go in the box in which the game sits.For children 4+ yrs the token collection will be make the game more competitive.Whoever lands more monkeys gets more tokens and wins.

We take out the game and play everyday after dinner and my son squeals every time he lands a monkey.When he doesn't land a monkey, he simply takes them and puts it straight in the tray! Easy win!!

It is surely a simple and exciting game as it gives focus for the brain to aim right and also involves physical activity. It is also good for improving hand, eye coordination skills when played often. It also has a backdrop made with cardboard that gives it a look of a jungle. We also talked about different animals in the jungle and it was a great conversation!

Monkey Dunk retails for $12.99 at Toys R Us, Canada.

One very lucky reader will have the chance to win the very same  Monkey Dunk game right here on my blog !
