Crunchmaster – Products Worth Reviewing and Giveaway

If you like crunchy, crispy, savory, and delicious crackers like me, then sometimes you can go crazy trying to find a good cracker that fit those descriptions. With so many choices and varieties out there, sometimes you’re lucky and you end up with a bag full of yumminess. Sometimes you get a cracker that tastes like salted cardboard. But what if you want something that’s delicious and good for you? Well in that case, there probably aren’t too many choices out there. However, I came across a brand called Crunchmaster not too long ago and they make wholesome, natural, savory crackers that’s also really delicious tasting. I thought, what an interesting name for crackers – let’s see if they’re truly crunchy!

Crunchmaster makes all-natural crackers with whole grain goodness but without the traditional processed wheat that you’d find in most crackers. Crunchmaster’s crackers are made with a blend of California-grown brown rice, stone-ground corn, oat fiber, sesame, quinoa, amaranth and flax seeds. If you’ve never tried rice crackers before, then you’re in for a real treat when you take a bite of Crunchmaster’s crispy crackers. Although whole grain brown rice is the main ingredient, you can definitely taste the ground corn mixed with a bit of other whole grain textures. The combination is superb and unlike any other crackers I have ever had. Crunchmaster’s multi-grain crackers also comes in a variety of flavors including Original (which is naturally savory), Rosemary and Olive Oil, Roasted Garlic, Toasted Onion, Sea Salt, Roasted Vegetable, and White Cheddar. My favorites are the Roasted Vegetable and White Cheddar and my son and husband also loves White Cheddar – although they ate through most of my samples!

What’s so great about Crunchmaster’s multi-grain crackers is that they are truly nutritious in the sense that they are baked in the oven and not fried, they contain 21 grams or more whole grain per serving, they’re high in fiber, they’re free of saturated fat, and they’re made with all-natural ingredients (www.crunchmaster.com). What I really enjoy about the taste is their use of tamari, which is a japanese-style soy sauce. Tamari’s flavor is a bit richer and deeper than traditionally-brewed soy sauce and you can taste the savory and tangy flavor of the tamari in each cracker. Crunchmaster’s crackers are a bit crunchier than most crackers that I’ve tasted, perhaps because of the blend of rice in them, and we enjoy them as is or with a dip or spread. I really enjoyed my White Cheddar flavor with my sandwiches and soups as it’s definitely healthier than fried chips! And the other great thing about Crunchmaster’s multi-grain crackers is that they’re certified gluten-free so it’s a great snack for those who are intolerant to wheat and gluten.

As a member of Moms Meet: http://www.greenmomsmeet.com/, I was given the unique opportunity to try and review Crunchmaster’s White Chedder Multi-Grain Crackers and I have to say I’m very happy to have tried them. In our household, we try not to eat junk food or anything overly processed and when we want a healthy and delicious snack, our top choice has got to be Crunchmaster. Their crackers are a great size – not too big and not too small and the best thing is that my son enjoys them too. It can be pretty hard to find a nutritious and yummy-tasting savory snack for kids nowadays and I think if you have kids, then you’d have to let them try Crunchmaster. Give it to them as is, without any dips or sauces at  first and see how they like them. I’m sure they will enjoy the extra crunch that they experience with the first bite and the savory and flavorful taste of each unique cracker. Crunchmaster’s multi-grain crackers are also free of artificial ingredients and preservatives so you know you’re giving your kids something healthy, delicious, and fun to eat. We went through one entire bag in one sitting and I was relieved when I realized there were a few more in the pantry. So I encourage you to try Crunchmaster’s multi-grain crackers in any variety of flavor and you’ll probably find a new savory snack too. Crunchmaster can be currently found in most natural grocery stores and nationwide supermarkets.

Crunchmaster and Moms Meet would love to give 1 LUCKY reader of Happymombloger the opportunity to try their delicious, savory crackers. The winner will receive 1 box of Crunchmaster’s White Cheddar Multi-Grain Crackers of their very own! So how do you win this delicious prize? Read below to find out!

Get a Melissa & Doug 25% Off Coupon When You Take the North “Poll” – Special opportunity for the holidays!

If you have kids or know any kids, then you know that kids will always want to play and play – with toys. But with so many choices out there, which toy is the best? Well, there really is no “best” toy out there for any specific child or reason – it’s whatever that interests your child or the child you’re buying the toy for. You may ask yourself, “why am I getting more toys for my kids?” Well, there are many reasons such as that they’ll scream their head off if you don’t buy it for them, or that they’ve been really, really good and they deserve it, or my favorite – because the toy itself is educational and creates fun and learning at the same time.

So what toy company makes something that’s fun and educational? Oh, and to top it off – is environmentally conscious and non-toxic for children? My favorite choice is Melissa & Doug: http://www.melissaanddoug.com/. Melissa & Doug makes toys for infants to school-age and they are both educational and fun. They have puzzles, food play, stuffed animals, wooden houses, you-name-it-you-got-it. Melissa & Doug started as a grassroots company and rightly named their company after the little boy who inspired their creations. We have several Melissa & Doug toys in our house and my son has played with all of them over and over again. They bring out creativity and if you want your kids to enjoy something that’ll last more than a few hours, you’ll most likely find something from Melissa & Doug.

Currently, Melissa & Doug is encouraging everyone to go on their website and cast their vote on of their selected favorite toys. It will help ensure them with the continuation of their creative juices. Melissa & Doug want you to tell them which of their educational toys  you think is the best! Just click on the image below to place your vote in the North “Poll!” You’ll Get a Melissa & Doug 25% Off Coupon** to use at MelissaAndDoug.com just for voting!

So for more info, click on the “CLICK HERE TO VOTE” tab in the photo below and it will take you directly to Melissa & Doug’s voting page. And you’ll also get 25% just for voting! With the holidays coming up, a little bit of money saving wouldn’t hurt and with so many choices and great prices, you’ll probably find a few toys that you and your child will love.

Counting 1-2-3

I think most parents have used the innocent threat, “I’m going to count to three if you don’t (insert command).”  I know that I’ve used it plenty of times on occassions that deemed it necessary. But does it really work? Hmm, I’m not too sure. I’ve seen other parents use it on their children and their kids just looked at them skeptically and continued doing what they were reprimanded not to do. It’s frustrating when your kids don’t do what they’re supposed to do, like putting away their toys after playing with them, eating all the food on their plate, not running around and damaging everything, and so forth. I’m sure you’ve had times when you’ve counted up to 100 and they still didn’t care. Kids are constantly testing their boundaries and they really don’t know when enough is enough. So what’s a parent to do? When gentle persuasion doesn’t work, bribery, and the old reverse psychology trick flies over their heads, what other way is there for your child to do what they’re told? Military? Okay, that may be a bit rough and that’s why I’ve come to realize that the innocent threat of couting up to three may work, sometimes, at least.

As my son gets older he is constantly testing his boundaries with us. But I look at it as his intelligence is also growing. After all, your mind is thinking up a lot of ways to do things that you shouldn’t be doing just to see if you can get away with it. Fortunately, this activity is okay for children since it’s one of the ways for them to learn and grow – it’s not okay for adults to do it though. But how do you authoritatively teach your children boundaries without acting like a dictator? After all, you still want your kids to listen to you and respect you when they realize they did something wrong. Like my friends have told me – keep a tight rein on your kids when they’re young and they should grow up okay. I firmly believe in that philosophy since there are so many outside influences nowadays such as other children, television, video games, toys, and anything else that can swipe away all the hard work you’ve been doing to keep your kids in line.

There really are no right way or wrong ways to teach your kids to be good. Sometimes it’s inherent, sometimes it’s learned. As I’m sure all parents agree that all kids are different and they eventually learn at their own level. However, discipline starts at a very young age and I’m one who believes that nurture usually wins over nature. And the possibility that boys are harder to raise when they’re young but easier as they get older and girls are easier to raise when they’re young and harder when they’re older. Or at least that’s what people keep telling me. I have nieces and nephews and as I’ve watched them grow up, I think that theory is pretty true. But there’s always hope for those that wonder if their sons will ever grow out of the immaturity stage or if their daughters will stay away from the bad boys as mentioned here. If you keep a close eye on your kids and create a balance between discipline and chaos, then surely your kids will grow to be responsible, kind, and generous people. Or at least we hope so, right?

And with the holidays coming up, it’s doubly important for kids to learn about good manners and good behavior when they’re at home or visiting relatives and friends. After all, I figure if I’m going to be counting 1-2-3 or even to 100, then at least my son is learning his numbers.

Carmex Moisturizers – Products Worth Reviewing and Giveaway

With the cold winter months coming up, it’s no wonder that we’ll need extra moisturizers to soothe our dry hands. I think we can all agree that dry skin is not a happy endeavor. So what can you do, you may ask? Well, you can lather up in rich, healthy moisturizers that can protect, soothe, and heal your skin. I use moisturizers every day but when the weather is dry, I use extra moisturizers to combat that pesky cold weather. One of the best moisturizers around is made by a company called Carmex. Carmex makes great products that soothe and heal your skin as well lip care products that both protects and enhances your natural beauty.

Carmex has been in the skin moisturizing business for over 70 years which started with their  signature lip balm. Eventually, the family-owned business   expanded their line to include moisturizers, creams, and tinted lip balms, all of which include healthy and healing ingredients like aloe vera, Vitamin E, and menthol. Carmex products has been used by supermodels, actresses, sport professionals, and anyone else who wants a product that does its job without harming the body. I’ve particularly enjoyed using their lip balms for many years and not too long ago I started using their healing moisturizers. Carmex has two specific moisturizers that target the needs of your skin. One of them is the Healing Lotion which includes Aloe and Vitamin E as their main ingredients for every day use and their other lotion is the Healing Cream which contains nine essential healing ingredients that’s intended for extremely dry skin and deep moisturization.

As an official Carmex Blog Squad blogger, I was sent samples of both their Healing Lotion and Healing Cream to try and review. When it comes to healing extremely dry and troubled skin, Carmex has come up with a formula in both their Healing Cream and Healing Lotion – hence the names. The Healing Cream is a super concentrated formula that can target specific areas on your body that needs moisturizing. The fragrance is light with both lotions and they absorb quickly so there’s no sticky or greasy residue. Carmex’s Healing Cream and Healing Lotion comes in both larger sizes in 4 oz. and 5.5 oz., respectively, and smaller travel sizes in .75 oz and 1 oz., respectively. The travel sizes would be great for traveling or for use in your office, school, or gym. I’m constantly toting around hand lotions in my purse so the smaller sizes are really handy.

Carmex is also excited to share their Healing Lotion and Healing Cream to 1 LUCKY reader of Happymomblogger. The winner will receive a kit just like I did (see photo) which includes the Healing Lotion and Healing Cream in full size tubes and travel size tubes. So how do you win this fabulous prize?

A Compassionate Thanksgiving

Since I’m a vegetarian, I don’t eat turkey or ham for Thanksgiving. Or any day for that matter. So often, people ask me what I eat during the Thanksgiving holiday and I can easily tell you that there are many choices out there when it comes to food for vegetarians during Thanksgiving. Besides the usual sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans, smorgasbord of pies, and stuffing, even a vegetarian can get “stuffed”. But if you really want to be part of the Thanksgiving celebration without the carnivores staring accusingly at you, then there are other meat-alternative options out there. You can find anything from soy to tempeh to wheat, but my favorite for the past few years have been a “turkey” from Tofurky.

Tofurky is a leading manufacturer of soy based, meatless meals that can be enjoyed by vegetarians or non-vegetarians. My son loves their deli sliced veggie meats because they are so incredibly flavorful and satisfying. I myself have enjoyed Tofurky for many years and I buy their products regularly. They sell everything from deli sliced veggie meat to veggie sausages to veggie pizzas, and every season, they make their specialty, Tofurky Feast. The Tofurky Feast is a meatless substitute for the traditional turkey or ham you’d eat during Thanksgiving and personally, I think it tastes a whole lot better. And it’s more humane, of course. You don’t have to sacrifice a poor, innocent turkey during the Thanksgiving holiday. Tofurky’s Tofurky Feast is like a complete meal – it includes a stuffed Tofurky roll, gravy, Tofurky jurky wishstix, and an organic chocolate cake from Amy’s Kitchen (yum!). You really can’t go wrong with this meatless turkey feast.

I think I’ve bought the Tofurky Feast for the past few years not because there are no other choices out there, but because it genuinely tastes great. The soy turkey is moist and juicy and along with the gravy, it goes great with the soy turkey or with your homemade mashed potatoes and stuffing. And they recently added Amy’s Kitchen’s chocolate cake to literally, put icing on the cake. In my previous reviews, I reviewed Amy’s chocolate cake and if you had a chance to try it, then you know how delicious the chocolate cake is. And the Tofurky Feast isn’t really that expensive compared to a real turkey. Depending on where you live and what store you go to, you can find the Tofurky Feast anywhere from $9.99 on up. They’re sold in practically every natural grocery store available and right now on Facebook, you can enter for a chance to win a Tofurky Feast of your own: http://www.facebook.com/tofurkyfan.

Tofurky is proudly owned by Turtle Island Foods, Inc. and they use only organic and all-natural products that are GMO-free, preservative-free, and contains no artificial ingredients. Their products are absolutely delicious and the varieties are sure to delight anyone who wishes to try the vegetarian route. Of course being a vegetarian isn’t all about eating veggies and fruit. It’s also about being humane, eating the right balance of foods that are filling and nutritious, and enjoying the good health that it brings.

Currently, on Tofurky’s website, you can send a Thanksgiving e-card that’s absolutely adorable: http://www.tofurky.com/ecard. It’s a fun and thoughtful way of sending someone a vegetarian Thanksgiving card and the best part is that Tofurky will donate $5 to Farm Sanctuary for every turkey adopted  through Farm Sanctuary’s  Adopt-A-Turkey  program using the link at the end of the card.

So this Thanksgiving, think about going a different route with your traditional turkey or ham. After all, Thanksgiving isn’t all about eating that piece of turkey or sliced ham. It’s about giving thanks to what you have and being appreciative. And most importantly, it’s about giving – and you can give this Thanksgiving by not eating a turkey – you can give them life.

Weleda, the power of nature – Products Worth Reviewing

What is it about the scent of fresh rosebuds or the invigorating feel of soft petals touching your cheeks? There’s something magical in the power of nature and when you combine nature with science, something unique happens – you get, Weleda. Weleda is a leading manufacturer of skincare products using ingredients completely derived from nature. With Weleda, they believe in the powerful effects of what natural ingredients can achieve, and you can see the wondrous results for yourself. When I was searching for a new skincare line to try, I knew I wanted something that was safe for my skin and didn’t contain ingredients that would eventually harm the planet.

After an extensive search, I came upon Weleda. I knew they made great baby care products since I’ve been using them on my son since he was born, but I knew little about their adult skincare line. So I delved a bit more into their adult skincare line and was surprised and happy to know that they apply the same philosophy to their adult skincare products as to their babycare products. They take great care in providing natural, organic, and pure ingredients that help target specific needs of the skin. I found out that they actually have several skincare products to choose from and several specific lines that work specifically with the areas that you need help in. For instance, they have products for sensitive skin, for youthful skin, for first signs of aging skin, for aging skin, and for extremely dry skin. Each specific line of products uses specialized ingredients chosen for their protective and enhancing powers so you don’t have to guess which product will work for you. Since Weleda had already sent me their babycare products to try and review, I was super delighted when they sent me some of their adult skincare products to try as well. I was already interested in learning more about their products and started using their adult skincare products right away.

The products that Weleda sent me to try were the Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream and Smoothing Eye Cream and Almond Soothing Facial Oil. The Wild Rose skincare line combats the first signs of aging by using organic rosehip seed oil which naturally contains powerful antioxidants Vitamins A and E as well as unsaturated fatty acids. As Weleda describes their organic rosehip seed oil, ” because this remarkable oil works in harmony with your skin, it helps stimulate its natural healthy functions and soften fines lines – all to counter first signs of aging. Your skin can hold on to its elasticity and vitality longer.” With such powerful words as that, I was eager to try their new skincare products and since their ingredients were ingredients that I recognized, I knew it was okay to give them a try.

With Weleda’s Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream, I used it exclusively instead of my other face cream so that I can see the results. Upon initial application, my skin felt smoother and softer and the dry areas on my face were softer and definitely well-moisturized. The cream itself comes out rather easily and it went on smoothly and without a greasy feeling as you would expect most creams to feel. Because of the colder weather upon us, I was really surprised to see and feel the difference between my old facial cream and Weleda’s Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream. The Wild Rose Smoothing Day Cream also seemed to have evened out my skin tone and created an overall balance between dry and oily areas. The Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream did the same to the areas around my eyes. Although I can’t say that my eyes look 20 years younger, I do feel the areas around my eyes tighter and they don’t look as tired. Both the Smoothing Day Cream and Smoothing Eye Cream were easy to apply and the cream absorbed quickly and pleasantly – and the scent is gentle and not overwhelming. You can definitely smell the roses but it’s not overpowering which is a major plus for me.

With Weleda’s Almond Soothing Facial Oil, their almond oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and Vitamin E. As a component for their Almond Soothing Cleansing Lotion and Facial Cream, I only tried their Soothing Facial Oil which I used after I washed my face. The soothing oil is meant to calm and nourish the delicate skin while gently restoring your skin’s natural balance. The Almond Soothing Facial Oil is pure and simple in its ingredients, but because almond is such a powerhouse in the antioxidant area, there really is no need to include a bunch of unnecessary ingredients. It only contains organic sweet almond oil, plum seed oil, and blackthorn flower extract. And that’s really one of the main reasons why I like Weleda so much. They’ve done years and years of extensive research on the powers of natural ingredients and what naturally-derived ingredients can do to nurture, purify, and enhance your body’s own healthy capabilities. At Weleda, they believe that our own natural capacity to be healthy can only be enhanced with natural ingredients in our lives.

Weleda currently makes a great assortment of products for both adults and children. Their products feature familiar ingredients such as pomegranate, rosemary, roses, almond, witch hazel, calendula, chamomile, sesame seed oil, and so forth. If you’re interested in trying products that are made with natural ingredients instead of synthetic, then you should really look into Weleda’s products. For more info about Weleda, please visit their website: http://usa.weleda.com/. You can find Weleda’s natural products at most natural grocery stores and certain Target stores and I’ve also seen them on Amazon.
