Dei Fratelli Review!

Dei Fratelli was kind enough to send me some of their delicious tomato products to try out and review. I use tomatoes several times a week in lots of different dishes and was excited to try something new!
From the salsa, to the diced tomatoes, to the pasta sauce, each product was tasty and flavorful.

The pasta sauce was the perfect addition to homemade meatballs, even Lovebug, my picky eater, didn't make a fuss! In chili, over chicken, and in sauces each product brought a new flavor that I hadn't experienced with other canned tomatoes. I've been on the lookout for more Dei Fratelli and always purchase a few when I find them!

Check out the site for more information on their products, recipes, and even e-recipe cards!

Olivia: Princess for a Day Review!

In our house, princesses are a big thing. So when Nickelodeon offered us the chance to review the new Olivia DVD, I jumped at the chance. Lovebug screamed with joy when she saw what had come in the mail for her, and I *had* to put it in right away.

I'm not kidding when I say that we've watched Princess for a day about 50 times, and the entire DVD about 20 times since it got here. Lovebug even knows all the words to the princess pledge!

The DVD released in September and you can purchase it for around $17!

Simply Neutral Review!

One of my favorite green & non-toxic cleaning products is Simply Neutral. You might remember them from my review last Summer!
I'd been using these awesome products since then, and was amazed at how long lasting they are and how great they work. Some other "green" cleaners that I've tried just don't have that same oomph that Simply Neutral has!

Maggie, from Simply Neutral, was kind enough to send me a few more products over the Summer to try out. Dish it out (an SLS-free dish soap), Love your duds (a liquid soap nut laundry detergent), and Bowl me over (a powdered toilet bowl cleaner). Along with the products came some very neat business cards! The material that was used was cut up cereal boxes! How neat and green is that!?

I put them all right to work, starting with Bowl me over. Before this, I had only used liquid toilet bowl cleaners. Green or not, the old products all smelled terribly. The chemical smell bothered my asthma, so I didn't clean as much as I should have. BUT- Simply Neutral saved the day! I sprinkled a tablespoon of the product into the toilet, gave it a swish and let it sit for a few minutes. After it foamed up, I gave it a scrub and flushed. I was amazed at how clean it looked!

The other products left me in awe as well! We used to use Dawn in the sink, but it seemed like we needed a lot. A few drops of Dish it out was all we needed! And the laundry soap is great! I was already a soap nuts fan, having used them to wash diapers, and I love the liquid version even more! I used it on the cloth diapers, with no problems. And even added a little to water in a spray bottle to use upstairs!

I've had all three of these products since July, and I'll probably get a few more months out of them! How awesome is that? Not only is Simply Neutral an affordable green product, but they last a lot longer than other products! You can save on shipping by ordering the waterless products. When it arrives at your home, just add water and voila!

Want to save even more on Simply Neutral? Check out their product packages! You can get a pack of cleaners, dish soap, and microfiber towels (10 products) for under $28!!

Aloha Friday #75

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

Are you getting the crazy rain/flooding?

Beach Bound!

See you all at the end of the week! :)
