EcoSMART Organic Insect Killer Review

I try to be green and eco-friendly, I really do. However, I don't always do as well as I'd like to. One of my biggest setbacks is trying to find bug killer and repellent that is eco-friendly, safe, and WORKS! We spend a great deal of time outside, hiking and camping, and I don't want to risk our health with nasty bug bites.

When EcoSMART contacted me and offered to let me try their organic insect killer, I jumped at the chance!

EcoSMART:

* Unique Patented Technology
* Safe around Children
* Safe around Pets
* Safe for the Environment
* No Toxic Residue
* Really works

And, it doesn't smell like bug killer! It smells like wonderful combinations of essential oils (which is what it is). No more complaining that the back porch smells like ant spray or crying when I put mosquito repellent on before a hike!

Not only that, EcoSMART has 100% FDA safe ingredients, and SAFE is allowed on the label by the EPA (unlike traditional bug killers, which have a huge list of reasons why they're not safe!)
EcoSMART sent me their Safe Picnic Value Bundle to try. It contains a 24 oz bottle of Home Pest Control, a 14 oz can of Flying Insect Killer, and 2-6oz bottles of Insect Repellent. Honestly, I'm most excited about the organic mosquito repellent, just because we use so much mosquito spray.

So after I danced around when I got these products, I went on a bug hunt... I never thought I'd do it (by choice) as a grownup, but I searched everywhere for bugs to kill around our house and yard. Sadly, it's March, and I didn't find much to kill. The couple bugs I did find died quickly though (and boy did it feel good!... Don't hate me please!)

EcoSMART carries multiple products, not just bug killer.

* Ant and Roach Killer
* Flying Insect Killer
* Wasp and Hornet Killer
* Insect Repellent
* Weed and Grass Killer
* Lawn Insect Killer
* Garden Insect Killer
* Garden Fungicide
* Home Pest Control

This way you can use their wonderful eco-friendly, safe products all over your house and yard!

Want to try them for yourself? Visit www.ecosmart.com to purchase your own. OR you can check back here soon, as I'll be running a giveaway (thanks to EcoSMART).

Wanchai Ferry and Target Giveaway!

We love Chinese food in our house, but I don't always feel like going out for it, and although I do cook it regularly, some days I just don't have the energy to cook from scratch (especially now with a new little one "baking" in my oven!) We're one of those families that could have a separate fridge just for condiments and sauces, as ours is largely full of them. We love flavor on our food, of all different kinds!

So imagine my surprise that someone came out with a frozen Chinese meal that's easy to prepare, reasonable, and delicious! Wanchai Ferry has done it!


Wanchai Ferry has created quick, delicious Chinese food that can be prepared at home in no time flat (actually about 15 minutes, but that's 15 less than a 30-Minute Meal, which gives you 15 minutes extra to play with the kids or fold laundry).

One of my favorite things about this is the ability to customize the meals... while our kids do well with reasonably spicy foods, hubby and I like it spicy! This way I can serve the kids a well-flavored meal and we can choose to add chili oil or something to make ours a wee bit hotter.

Wanchai Ferry have several delicious flavors:

Orange Chicken
Shrimp Lo Mein
Spicy Garlic Chicken
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Sweet and Spicy Shrimp

All of these have no added MSG! And, even better (in my mind), is that you can find them at your neighborhood Target!

Wanna try them? I know you do, and you can buy them for yourself at Target. You can even use the $1.50 off coupons from Wanchai Ferry's website. OR you can win a Wanchai Ferry "Perfect Night In" here!

Wanchai Ferry and MyBlogSpark are offering one reader a prize pack that includes a coupon for a FREE package of any of the Wanchai Ferry frozen entrees. You also receive a pair of rice bowls, chopsticks, bamboo placemats, flavored fortune cookies, and a $25 Target Gift card! That way you can buy more flavors for another night!


The Giveaway

The winner will receive:

* Pair of rice bowls
* 2 sets of chopsticks
* Pair of bamboo placemats
* Flavored fortune cookies
* Coupon for FREE Wanchai Ferry product
* $25 Target gift card

To Enter:

1. You MUST be a follower (and follow publicly)!
2. Leave a comment on this post telling me which Wanchai Ferry variety you'd like to try. This must be done first or the other entries won't count!

You can get extra entries by doing any (or all) or the following and leaving a separate comment for each extra entry:

* Go to Target.com and tell me where your nearest store is.
* Subscribe to this blog via Reader (on left sidebar)
* Subscribe to this blog via Email (on left sidebar)

We're adding to our family!

Hi everyone!

We have huge news... we're adding a third child to our family! So in August Little Miss will get to be a big sis for the first time and Bok Boy will have another little one to play with! We're obviously thrilled and excited (and since I'm finally done with the morning sickness and exhaustion I'm starting to feel human again!)

On the plus side, with the older two I was sick the WHOLE pregnancy. It never let up! I actually weighed less right before they were born than I did when I got pregnant because of the 15 lbs I lost in the first trimester and the struggle to keep nutrients in me the rest of the time. This time I was pleasantly surprised when the morning (all-day) sickness tapered off around 12 weeks (like a normal person!)

I'll keep you updated about how things are going, and I'm trying to find lots of fun baby sponsors for future giveaways. If you have ideas, let me know!

Have a great week!

Safeway and Fiber One Yogurt Giveaway

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to try Fiber One Yogurt, which I'd never tried before. First off, I was impressed by the 50 calories per cup, which is a great way to keep your snack calories under control.

It also has 0 grams of fat along with 5 (yes, that's right, 5!) grams of fiber (20% of your daily value!) It's available in Strawberry, Peach, Vanilla and Key Lime. While I would've loved to try the Key Lime, my local Safeway doesn't carry that flavor and we chose the Strawberry.

Now I'm sorry to say that out of this 4-pack of yogurt I only managed to try one container (Bok Boy and Little Miss ate the rest of them. They like them better than the "kid" yogurt that's in the fridge!) The one I did manage to try was tasty and the texture was creamy with bits of strawberry inside. Overall I was very pleased with the yogurt and I love that they kids prefer it over the higher sugar, lower fiber alternatives!

Wanna try it for yourself? Well, thanks to Safeway, Fiber One and MyBlogSpark, you can buy as much yogurt as you want with a $50 Safeway gift card! It doesn't get better than that!

*Sorry everyone for the confusion... I've edited this post as of 3:15 pm PT on 3/4. The Fiber One yogurt coupon previously mentioned is not part of the prize (I misread the sponsor's email, so it's my fault, and I'm sorry!)
