Another way to be #green...SnapSac Totes *Review* and *Discount Code!*

I have to admit, I have been a pretty big plastic bag user. Until I heard of SnapSac!

A SnapSac is a stylish tote that can be used over and over, thus saving our Earth a bit, by eliminating the use of plastic bags. SnapSac totes come is a variety of colors, designs and sizes. 

SnapSac Tote Bundle

Grocery Tote

I had the opportunity to review a SnapSac Tote Bundle as well as a  Grocery Tote! The SnapSac Bundle includes a Petite Tote, a Super Tote and a Mega Tote.

*The SnapSac Tote Bundle*

I knew I would have 100 uses for these. 

~The Petite Tote~

I've used the petite SnapSac for a short trip in the car...running an errand...it is just the right size for a couple toys and two sippy cups. *The pocket located inside the tote is the perfect size for a pacifier.

Size: 18”w x 12” h x 7.5” g

easy snap closure

~The Super Tote~

The Super Tote has been so handy for when I have to drop my kids at the baby sitter. It is large enough for two changes of clothes, two sippy cups, a few cloth diapers and wipes and some room to spare. 

Size: 24”w x 16.5” h x 12” g

~The Mega Tote~

Now, the Mega Tote is really large. It is perfect for a trip to the pool (unfortunately, there is no beach near where I live, or I would totally say "beach".). This Mega Tote is also a great overnight bag for when my 7 year old sleeps over her friends house. It is large enough for a sleeping bag, pillow, change of clothes, PJ's, and all the miscellaneous items a typical 7 year old would bring along to a sleepover! (see photo below)

Size: 28”w x 19” h x 12” g

The Mega Tote, all packed up ready for a sleepover!

~The Grocery Tote~

On to the Grocery Tote, I bet you can guess what these are great for!! That's right...this tote is the perfect solution to those flimsy ol' plastic shopping bags! The Grocery tote is more durable than plastic and can hold more items as well. I love this one because it reduces the amount of plastic bags that go into landfills.

 Size: 12.5”w x 17” h x 8” g

In my opinion, ALL SnapSac totes could be used as reusable shopping bags!!

Features:
• more durable fabric (35% thicker than average grocery bags)
• an inside pocket
• foldable with a snap in three places: at folding, at the top, and at the pocket
• Machine wash cold, line dry

Tomorrow is my Birthday and...

My husband completely forgot! Not surprising at all because he forgets every year. You'd think after 7 years, he just MIGHT remember?? No, of course not. I overheard him making plans to go hang with a friend for the day.

Now before you say...hey, but it's Superbowl Sunday....let me tell you this...My husband IS NOT A FAN of football. He never watches it, he has no clue who is playing this year and could care less about a Superbowl!

Anyways, I am planning on hanging with my three girls and doing something fun. But What?? They have never been bowling and it's been a long time since I have. Maybe we will go bowling. I know whatever we do will be fun because they are full of energy, laughter and smiles. They will make my Birthday wonderful :)

What will you be doing on my Birthday?

*Once Upon a Party* Review and #Giveaway!(MooMoo's 3rd Birthday Bash!) US

 MooMoo's party was fabulous!

I found an amazing party supply designer on Etsy, Once Upon A Party. The super cool chick behind this Etsy shop is Allison, a mama to one little boy. She loves arts and crafts and creating special decor for special events!

Allison created some party supplies in a "RoCk PRinCeSS" theme for me to review. This was not one actually listed in her shop...it was a new theme she wanted to do. I had seen all of her cute designs before but it did not prepare me for THIS!

I was absolutely blown away with her creativity!! My husband was in awe when he saw it, my guests were all drooling, and even little MooMoo...she was in love! Having all these cool decorations, made just for her, made her feel so special. Unlike lots of other 3 year olds', she appreciated every bit of it...actually hugging each item as she first saw them. (Thank you, Allison...that was such a sweet moment)

All caked up and ready for a cute cup cake!

Since Allison used a wide variety of colors, buying a dress, cake and miscellaneous decor was a breeze! My husband thought I was pretty ridiculous for wanting her dress to match, but I thought it was necessary ;) Doesn't it look cute!!?!

Having cute party supplies really jazzed up her party and made it more fun for everyone! The kids got to pick out their favorite napkin holder, and believe me...that was a big thing for them! They all loved playing with the confetti and MooMoo felt like a princess...a RoCk PRinCeSS, that is.

The quality of these party supplies is superb! Allison must be a perfectionist, because I could not find a single flaw!

The items I received for review are:

♥ Banner
♥ 6 cupcake toppers
♥ 6 bag toppers (I used these as invitations)
♥ centerpiece (set of 3)
♥6 napkin rings
♥6 cupcake wrappers
♥ Door sign
♥ 6 straw toppers
♥ 6 food labels
♥confetti
♥ crown for the birthday girl

 Overall, I had a wonderful experience. Allison was fun to work with and she created some rockin' party supplies! Her prices are very affordable and I would highly recommend you consider shopping at Once Upon A party for the next party you are planning. Right now, she is offering 10% off! Take advantage!!! (under the banner on her etsy site, there is a coupon code to get the 10% off)

Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaner *Review* and #giveaway! {Green Resolutions Giveaway Hop}

Have you thought about making the switch to eco-friendly cleaning products but are worried they might not get the job done? I have felt that way before. Shaklee is a company that makes and sells natural, effective products that are safe for humans, animals and our precious earth.

Andrea, from Maia the Bee, sent me a sample of Shaklee Basic H2 Organic Super Cleaning Concentrate to review. This was my first experience using an eco-friendly cleaning product, other than detergent so I was pretty excited!

With this tiny capsule, I was able to to make two full bottles of all purpose cleaner!! When I first used it, I only used about 1/4 of the capsule and prepared the bottle pictured below.

When I shook it up, it created some bubbles which I was happy to see. It was a bit soapy and cut grease big time! I used this for about a month on my stove, kitchen counters and table and even in the bathroom. It cleaned up oil splatters on the stove, dried up juice and food particles on the kitchen table and made my counter tops sparkle! 

This cleaner has no scent which means we don't have to breath the fumes other cleaners produce. I can now allow my daughters to clean up the table after dinner without worrying if they are breathing in any fumes...I'm usually pretty paranoid and I'd just rather do it myself.

I have found a product that gets the job done and is easy on the wallet and the planet. I would recommend you try it out for yourself!

To Purchase
A full sized(16oz) container of Basic H2 can be purchased for just $12.15 OR if you sign up to be a member, you can purchase it for just $10.35! This 16oz container will make up to 48 gallons of cleaner when mixed with water! WOW! Purchase HERE!

All for Love Sponsor Spotlight: JessicaBe {Etsy} Hand Stamped Mothers Necklace *Review*

With Valentine's Day only a couple weeks away, it's time for a giveaway!! 

I have to admit, Valentine's day isn't much for me and the hubby anymore. I see it as an opportunity to show my sweet little girls how much I love them. 

 For this event, I found an amazing Etsy shop, JessicaBe. The owner, Jessica, a mama of 4 little ones, was born on Valentine's Day! How cool is that! Happy (early) Birthday, Jessica!! Jessica enjoys making personalized pieces and hearing the stories behind them.

Jessica sent me a beautiful personalized hand stamped mother's necklace for review. This lovely necklace features three different metal discs with one name on each of them. Each disc is a different size and is a different kind of metal~antique brass, sterling silver, and copper. On each disc, there is a hand stamped name. My littlest daughter's name is on the smallest disc, my middle daughter's name is on the medium disc and my oldest daughter's name is on the largest disc. I love that I was able to customize each disc to my preference...it makes the charm so much more significant that way.  The beautiful charm is hung on a 22" plated silver ball chain.

Photo does not do this charm justice. It is MUCH more beautiful in person!

JessicaBe is not limited to hand stamped necklaces. She also makes keychains, earrings and bracelets...some very interesting and unique pieces.
Some of my favorites...
I love this one because you can customize the colors of the beads and you can add up to 5 names!

Sterling Silver Hand Stamped Washer Style Mother's Necklace - Five Names~$30

My sister is a huge football fan. She would love one of these with her favorite football players name and number on it!

Football Sterling Silver Hand Stamped Keychain~$22

This would make a sweet Valentine's Day gift from a husband to wife or even a daddy to daughter.

Sterling Silver Hand Stamped Hammered "Loved" Necklace~$23

If you have never checked out her shop, now would be the perfect time! There are over 100 items listed and I am sure you would find a lovely gift for that special someone in your life, for Valentine's Day! Her prices are very affordable and I am sure you will love and cherish a personalized piece that she makes for you.
