Truvia Natural Sweeteners

Today I got to share a sweet treat with my dear friend Wilma- I was asked by Crowdtap to share Truvia with a friend and so while we were having our Bible Study this morning we also had tea that we sweetened with Truvia- we both really enjoyed the flavor and thought it was "pleasant" I don't always add sugar to me hot tea so I would like to try Truvia's other products. They have full sized containers and you can substitute Truvia with sugar. I need to do more research to know how much of a health benefit it is and then it would also be good to know how much of a price difference it is. Because as far as the taste I thought it tasted great and didn't have an aftertaste like some of the other "healthy products."

Lunchables Jr products

 
Over Labor day weekend Karis and her cousin Kara got to try a new product from Lunchables Jr. We were given the Very Beary Crunch one and the Ants on the Log. It was super funny to see Kiah and Justus try to figure out how they could get in on the snack fun. They also thought these looked really fun even though I tried to tell them these were for younger children. They didn't care they thought they were really fun. We opened the pack up and then Crowdtap had asked us to play a game or make a face with the shapes so we did that first. They thought that was pretty fun. The pack comes with three things all in a different compartment- on the Very Beary Crunch the teddy grahams and crackers went fast. Karis wasn't too sure what she thought of the dried fruit. I did try some and thought it had a bit of a weird texture for kiddos but Kiah and Justus who I let have the extras thought they were great. The Ants on a Log were a great hit and were gobbled up quickly. I thought they were both nice sized snacks but they retail for a bit more than I would like to pay I think I saw they are $1.75 a piece. But that is one reason I don't buy Lunchables too often because they are expensive. I think $1 would be a great price point on these and I wonder if they will be that when they are on sale I think they would be perfect for plane rides or long car rides I just don't think kids can open them themselves without spilling them. But I think we will for sure keep our eyes open for sales so we can have a few of these around for longer trips. Thanks Crowdtap for the sample- all opinions here are mine I was just given a sample by Crowdtap.

Purex UltraPacks plus OXI

My newest and Purex's newest product! I always love when Purex sends me a product and it happens to arrive on LAUNDRY day! Nothing like getting to try it out right away. I really enjoyed this product and I really love the fact that all I have to do is throw a little pack in the laundry and I am DONE super easy. At this point in my life I need all the stain removing power I can get and I thought that this was pretty impressive. (every load has at least one gross baby bib in it!)
I think the coolest thing about Purex is how much money they can save the average family each year. If you use their brand which is cheaper than most "leading brands" you can save yourself $45 a year. So to enter this contest you have to tell me- how will you spend that extra $45? You may enter on here or on my facebook page. Also here is another giveaway done by Purex that will give you a chance to win $50. Good luck! You have to find the red jersey and here's a hint look for the page talking about this new product!

Fels-Naptha

If you are like me then me putting Fels-Naptha as the subject of this blog makes no sense to you. It was a product I had never heard of until I got to try it. It is a stain remover bar. Basically what you do is spray some water on the stain and then rub the stain bar on stain. I thought it worked pretty well at getting new stains out I tempted fate and tried it on old stains- it didn't work but it was worth a shot to see if it was a miracle worker! I wasn't that impressed with this product just because it felt like an extra step with most of my stain removers I just spray it on there.. They did say you can grate the soap into the washing machine as well and it can work as a stain booster so that is cool I need to try that one some of the more stained clothes. I plan to have a giveaway so please just leave me a comment for a chance to win! Good luck! you can also enter here to win a free bar http://insiders.purex.com/120Years120Winners?id=464 
or 500 dollars!
