Our kids love Ring Pops! As a mother, I definitely do my best to limit sugary foods in our home. Being pregnant hasn't helped much with that lately. :)  I definitely was happy when I heard that there are now Sugar Free Ring Pops available. Our kids definitely enjoyed their Sugar Free Ring Pops! I know this because that they had no idea they were sugar free until after they had finished them! :) I definitely will be on the lookout for more sugar free options for my kids when I shop. Overall they enjoyed their sugar free ring pops, just as much as they enjoy the regular ring pops. They are definitely kid-friendly and kid approved! They come in 3 different yummy flavors: Blue Raspberry, Strawberry & Watermelon. I think the fact that they are a sugar free and fat free treat is not the only appeal, but they are only 30 calories, cholesterol free and made with Splenda. As a mom it's great to know that there is a sweet treat available that is a better choice for them. I wo...

 Our Review: We love reading books to our kids, the library is one place our family frequents every week. I love discovering new authors and children's books that take my children's imaginations on an adventure. I remember as a kid wondering what happened when the fridge was shut and I definitely had my share of pretend scenarios. It was even more hilarious that when I read this book it brought back my own memories of being a child and using my imagination in so many fun ways. As parents it's important to encourage our children's imaginative play. This book not only encompassed the importance and fun of having a good imagination, it also has the Dr. Seuss-type rhyming throughout it that makes it a fun book that is easy for kids to memorize. This story is a family favorite! I especially love that it teaches children the importance of not kindness, friendship and not fighting. The colorful and fun illustrations inspired my own children to draw their own vegetable, fruit...

Tropical Traditions is so fantastic, they sent me another of their  wonderful products to review.  This time I reviewed their Virgin Coconut Oil Hair Treatment . I put some on our 7 year old 30 minutes before her shower. Since she has been having some dry scalp issues I rubbed it on the dry areas of her scalp. She showered and washed her hair as usual.  The next morning she felt relief from her itchy, dry scalp condition. Her hair was shiny and soft too. I have been using it on my own hair and I am satisfied with the results, I tend to have dry  hair and I worked the coconut oil onto the ends of my hair as suggested. I left it on for about 30 minutes and washed my hair as usual. I have been doing this Oil Hair Treatment  weekly and the results have been fantastic.I love the way my hair feel and looks, especially now while I am pregnant. I have also used this on my belly when I feel a bit itchy from my skin stretching. It has definitely provided my skin great rel...
