Moms, I’ve been reviewing products that you can really use!  There are so many that in order to get them all posted, I’m going to do a big review round up for you.  Ready? Here we go!

FOOD:

O Organics is a line of organic foods that was once a private label for Safeway but is now being rolled out to stores around the country.  We sampled airplane graham crackers, freeze dried apple and strawberry bites, strawberry cereal bars, and bite size cheese crackers.  If your a Mom who likes buying organic products, O Organics won’t break your budget, and there’s a wide variety of foods including beverages, dairy products and cereals.  Everything we tried was delicious and I would buy them again.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter cooking and baking sticks have 50% less saturated fat than butter, 0g trans fats, 0 cholesterol, and are an excellent source of omega-3s. I received a package to sample, and I don’t know how they do it, but I found no difference in performance or taste. I put dabs of it on our cooked veggies at dinner, spread it on toast for the kids, scrambled eggs in it, and even used it to make grilled cheese sandwiches, with no difference that I could taste or see. Don’t eat saturated fat if you don’t need to! You should be able to find these at grocery stores for around $2.99 for four sticks.

CLEANING

Clorox Disinfecting Wipes Decor Canisters- I gotta be honest here, I appreciated getting these to review but I wouldn’t buy them again. Unless there was a sale plus a coupon that made them free.  Not because they don’t work, I mean, it’s a wipe with clorox cleaning liquid soaked in, which is the only thing that makes my boys’ bathroom clean on a daily basis.  The problem I have with this is 1., the part that the wipes are supposed to thread through so you can pull out one at a time? Is kinda flimsy and I end up just grabbing and yanking out a bunch at a time. Second,  I’m not going to look at cleaning wipes canisters as a complement to my “decor”. I’m going to keep them in the closet with all the other cleaning products, up on a high shelf where Kaitlyn can’t reach them. Sorry, Clorox!

CLOTHING

PeaceLoveMom sent me a wonderfully soft and comfy baby blue t-shirt that says “Happy Mom” on it with a big smiley face, and a matching ball cap. When they contacted me about the review and I went to the site, I was happy to see that they offer a “Fuller Cut” women’s tee. For, you know, us fuller-figured gals.  At $40, PLM tees are more expensive than ones from Target, BUT they are also made in the USA with 100% cotton and won’t shrink. I love mine!

PERSONAL CARE

Softsoap liquid hand soap has come out with a great idea for keeping at least a little plastic from being thrown away more often, their new Softsoap Ensembles feature refills that you use with the pump from the finished-up bottle of soap. They come in different designs and colors for a little splash of color in your bathroom. I like Softsoap, I buy it anyway, and I like the idea of being able to just take out the pump and put it in a new base.  Great idea!

I’ve got more reviews of products Moms will love coming up in the next post!
