Win a pack of Boundless Nutrition Perfect Fit Protein Cookies or Oatmega bars!

Many of you know, I had a major lifestyle change and have been eating much healthier. I now take vitamins and limit the amount of junk I eat. Of course, when you are limiting your sweets, its seems you crave them more and more. I just discovered something that is perfect for this. This super cool company called Boundless Nutrition offers protein cookies and super cool bars that contain omega-3 and tons of protein. Considering they contain so many good for you ingredients, I have to say I was not hopeful about the flavor. I have a sensitive gag reflex, especially when it comes to the whey protein flavor, and I simply CANNOT swallow protein drinks. Boundless Nutrition has now provided me a lower calorie way to get the protein in, which ACTUALLY tastes good!! It helps with the sweet cravings, and is good for me. YAY for that!

Perfect FIT Protein Cookies- I received a variety of these, and they are SOOOO yummy. The texture is a little different than other cookies, but they are sweet and taste amazing! This is quite simply one of the best “good for you snacks” I have tried. With only 150 calories, 3 cups of green tea, 4 grams of fiber, and 10 grams of protein, this is an excellent alternative to other high calorie, high fat cookies out there!

Oatmega Bars- I love these too! The blueberry pomegranate bar is DIVINE, and my favorite snack now. It contains fish oil, green tea and protein and is very filling. At only 120 calories and 15 grams of carbs, this is a great meal replacement bar (in my opinion). I love having one of these for breakfast, and have a healthy start to my day.

These cookies and bars are simply amazing, and I am now a HUGE fan of Boundless Nutrition.


Win It: One lucky winner will receive a pack of their favorite flavor (cookie or bar) I just need you to head on over Boundless Nutrition and tell me which flavor you would love to try.

New Episodes of Dinosaur Train begin 2/6-10!

My son and I have loved Dinosaur Train for a long time now and were excited to learn new episodes will be coming out February 6th, 2012. We were able to get a sneak peak copy of these new episodes, and I will tell you, they will not disappoint. My son loved them, and sat completely engaged in the DVD until it was finished, and as most mothers of 4 years olds will tell you- that is a rare moment! Read more about these episodes from the press release below, and be sure to stay tuned to see them 2/6-10!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (January 19, 2012) - The PBS KIDS® EMMY®-nominated animated children’s series DINOSAUR TRAIN®, will premiere new episodes February 6-10, 2012 on PBS KIDS to educate preschoolers all about how earthquakes, forest fires, droughts and hurricanes affect animals and their habitats.

Win a Butt Bench- great for holding bottles, shaving legs, or for the elderly!

Butt Bench- silly name but fantastic product. This nifty little bench that fits across most standard tubs is the best thing since sliced bread to many women! It is perfect for sitting to shave your legs, for having a place to prop your legs while shaving, to hold your bottles in the shower if you are lacking space, or it is even a great idea for elderly people who need to rest while showering! We received our butt bench, and just love it! The quality of this is wonderful, and it is actually so pretty. It really adds a nice touch to our bathtub. It is pretty sturdy- being able to lie across the bathtub, but also have suction cups for more support. We have been using ours just to hold bottles and such (and for my little man to use as a place to play with his toys in the bath) but I have seen other fans who use it as an inviting way to lay towels and soaps for guests! Such a nifty way to use this great little invention if you ask me.



Win It! One lucky winner will receive their own Butt Bench! I just need you to tell me one fact you learned from their site.

Awesome Coloring Book & CD

I love finding fun ways to make my kids aware of the environment and the animals in it. That's why I was so excited when I was sent the The Banana Plant 'Gulf Alive Kids Music CD and Coloring Book Set.

This is such a fun way to get your kids talking about the environment and introduce some fun animals that they may not know of yet! I don't think my boys had ever heard much about Walruses until they heard 'No Walruses in the Gulf'. And its so nice to hear about plankton and not be talking about SpongeBob!

The style of music on the CD is so much fun for kids! It makes them want to get up and start moving to the beat! And the coloring book was so much fun for my little ones! They both love to color and animals are their favorite things to color!

“GulfAlive” has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Children’s Album

Winner of the Creative Child Magazine 2011 PREFERRED CHOICE AWARD

Win It!

One of you lucky mama's will win a Gulf Alive Coloring book and CD set!
