The Tote Buddy – Reusable Shopping Bag Tote Review and Giveaway!

Contests, Eco-Friendly, Giveaways, Green, Organization, , ,

The Tote Buddy - reusable shopping bag organizer

Reusable bags have become very popular with environmentally conscious individuals, but in a busy family, keeping up with eco-friendly bags can be challenging. While an individual may only need a couple of bags to hold grocery purchases, the bustling household usually requires many bags. Inevitably, the bags are left in the vehicle, forgotten until the point of unloading a cart of groceries at a check stand. An organizer would make it so much easier to remember.

The Tote Buddy is the perfect solution for the shopper who wants to be a responsible member of the global community. The Tote Buddy provides an easy way to store your reusable shopping bags, making them easy to retrieve for your next shopping trip. The Tote Buddy folds open for removing or placing reusable bags. Folded bags stack nicely in The Tote Buddy, with the handle of just one bag placed outside of the Tote Buddy for use as the handle of the entire organizer. The Tote Buddy is folded closed and secured with the Velcro strap. Hang it on a door handle, store it in the vehicle, or keep it in another convenient place for taking along on your next shopping expedition.
I love that The Tote Buddy takes up minimal space in a grocery cart, is easy for the bagger to use, and is convenient to place inside one of the shopping bags after the transaction is completed.Concern for the environment is one of many motivations for purchasing reusable bags. It can be difficult to keep track of several reusable shopping bags, though, and many people give up on their use because of this. The Tote Buddy provides an excellent organizational approach for managing multiple bags.

Our super sweet Candy Land party and a giveaway!

Contests, Games, New posts, Toys, , , , ,

Can you imagine.. Candy Land, cupcakes, face painting, pottery painting, bead bracelet craft, and hair-do’s.. all in an hour and a half?
Oh my gosh I can’t tell you how exhausted I was around 12:30 today.  I was pooped and ready for a nap, which is very unlike me.  All for good reason though.   Thanks to Hasbro and My Blog Spark, I hosted a Candy Land party for about 18 3-5 year old’s this morning.  I was thrilled to have Desiree from BottlesToBritches.com, Stacie from TheDivineMissMommy.com, and Amanda from OhAmanda.com at the party.  Check out their blogs!  You’ll love them.

Candy Land was recently redesigned, bringing the excitement that is Candy Land back to our kitchen table.  Forget the dinner, let’s play Candy Land!  My daughter is 4 and Candy Land is the “go to” board game when she has friends over.  Don’t even try to offer another game.. Candy Land is “IT!” and that’s the way it is.

Candy Land party - My Blog Spark

Candy Land is a classic ‘first game for children’, takes about 15 minutes to play, and because there is no need to read to play Candy Land, even 3 year olds can play it!

Candy Land board game

You too can travel down the rainbow path on a journey of discovery through enchanted lands filled with sweet surprises around every corner. Create delicious treats at the Cupcake Commons to deliver along the way, participate in a thrilling snowboard race down the Ice Cream Slopes with the Duke of Swirl, take a relaxing train ride through Gummy Hills and climb to the top of Chocolate Mountain. Be sure to make friends with Gramma Gooey, Lord Licorice, Princess Frostine and Princess Lolly of Lollypop Woods throughout your adventure, as you race to meet King Kandy at the grand entrance to the Candy Castle.

Here’s a short video of our Candy Land fun at Farmhouse in the City in Roswell, GA:

A special thanks to Hasbro who provided us with the Candy Land board games to play and give away through MyBlogSpark!

Both of my kids have Pillow Pets and love them.  Their Pillow Pets go with them on trips, outside, to bed, on the couch, etc.. You get it.

Few things compare to the comfort and companionship of a soft, cuddly plush stuffed animal. Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals add true function to that warm and wonderful feeling by combining the security of a stuffed animal with the functionality of a pillow. Made of high quality, super soft chenille, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals make the most precious snuggle pals for you or your loved ones.

An ideal naptime companion – not to mention a comforting partner on road trips or airplane rides – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are anything but just another stuffed animal. Extremely versatile, these unique creations are the stuffed animal version of Transformers. Close the strap across their bellies and you have friendly, comforting pets. Open the strap and the pet becomes a comfortable pillow! Even more, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are so soft you’ll think you’re hugging a real fur coat! A pillow and a pet – all in one – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals keep the companionship alive, even when your child sleeps.
