Tender Tushies Mama Cloth Review & Giveaway

This is a Mama cloth review for you. I have given up most paper products in our change to being a little more green. When I first heard about mama cloth I thought GROSS! When I actually first tried one I was really impressed and I have not looked back or wore a paper pad since then. My friend Sarah who runs Tender Tushies gave me one of her mama cloth to try and here is my review on it.

I was given 3 mama cloth one for review and one for giveaway here is how they look.
I choose to try the blue one. The middle is bamboo and the colored sides are minky and they are so soft. These one are 10 inches long. I have tried this on a very heavy day over night on day 1 and on light days. It works great for me.
These pads retail for $6.00 each.

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning the pink one. Just enter with the rafflecopter form.

How to make pumpkin seeds

Making pumpkin seeds every year is a big tradition in our house. It is fun and super easy to do. I will list all steps with pics now let's get started.
Preheat the oven to 300 and scoop out your seeds from your pumpkin.
Make sure to wash then really well in the sink.

Next make sure to dry them really well on a towel. Spray your cookie sheet with a cooking spray.

Now place all of the semi dry seeds to the sheet.

Mine were pretty wet still but that just means they will have to cook longer. Once you make these many times you will just know when they are done. Next add salt. I used sea salt on mine.

Then just pop in the oven for 30-40 min turning them every 10 minutes.

I baked mine for about 55 minutes since they were so wet. Then transfer then to a ziplock lock bag or air tight container.

So easy and the kids can help too. They love getting all gooey with scooping the seeds out. Brendan said man those are good lol they are kid approved to. These cooked so perfect that we eat the shells too. I have also heard you can add sugar on them too for a sweet treat.
Happy eating

Piggy Paint Review

Today's review is from Piggy Paint. What is Piggy Paint you ask? Piggy Paint is a non-toxic, eco-friendly nail polish that is specially formulated of natural ingredients and proudly made in the USA. It is free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, BPA, ethyl acetate and acetone. Piggy Paint's hypoallergenic,odorless formula makes it gentle enough for sensitive hands and noses, yet it dries to a hard, durable finish that can easily be removed with Piggy Paint nail polish remover. This unique remover contains none of the solvents that could offend your nose or harm our atmosphere.
 
I was sent 3 Piggy Paint polishes for review and they are all in my favorite color pink!!
 
Pinkie promises and Jazz it up are all new colors from Piggy Paint and they are easy to use on little fingers and toes.
 
 
I LOVE these and they come in many great colors to mix and match all of your kids outfits. I will continue to use and buy these Piggy Paints.

Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review

Todays review is on Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops. I was sent a great package full of my favorite cough drops as a child. These were the only cough drops that we used at my house when I was growing up and I was excited to try these again and do this review.
My favorite is still the cherry even though the honey is still great. I like both sizes and I keep the puck in my purse and I refill with the bags. They still taste and look the same as when I was a little girl and now that I can find them at my local CVS I will only be buying these.


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
Ulysses S. Grant was President, the population of America hovered at 39 million, and the telephone was still a pipe dream, when in 1870 J. Herman Pine hung out a confectionery shingle on 8th Street above Walnut in Philadelphia and, along with his brother, sold their first batch of what they called 'Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets.' In an attempt to relieve his own sore throat and those of his family members, Mr. Pine, a former German confectionery maker, determined that by combining the soothing natural qualities of glycerin with the healing properties of gum acacia, he could sooth and mitigate the mild discomfort of a sore throat. Add in some natural flavoring and a sweetener and voila, Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops were born. "I have discovered something," Pine wrote, "which will give quick throat relief to thousands afflicted as I was." He added,"Perhaps I won't make much money out of this. But I can make people happy, and that's more important than money." Mr. Pine was being unduly modest, as his "discovery" would become one of the most successful, most delicious and most unique throat lozenges in the world. Nor has the recipe changed appreciably since it was first introduced to the public over 140 years ago.
In 1930 Pine Brothers was sold to the Life Savers Company and continued to flourish. Known for its 'soft drop consistency,' Pine Brothers lozenges became a favorite of adults and children alike. The product, which attracted healthiest sales in the eastern and northern states, due to its icy winters, reached its peak popularity in the 1970's. The company was sold by Life Savers, and then, having been re-sold and acquired a number of times, found itself essentially rudderless and under appreciated; this despite a legion of loyal consumers. Cost cutting changes were made to the original recipes, packaging became stale and marketing non-existent; Pine Brothers began to be made overseas. Sales declined.
Recently, Pine Brothers was acquired by the creator and former owner of Airborne, Victoria Knight-McDowell, for her new company 3 Sisters Home Products™. Much time and effort has been spent locating the original Pine Brothers recipes, redesigning the packaging, and creating an exciting yet classic new look. The natural product is once again being made in America, and is launching nationally in fall 2011. At which time old Mr. Pine, will succeed once again in "making people happy." God bless him!
