With the plethora of stuff (putting it mildly) that’s out on the market for kids’ snacks & such these days, it’s really no wonder that America’s youth are obese.  It is so hard for parents to fight the onslaught of product placement, commercials, sponsorships, etc. for JUNK food that their kids are subjected to and inject some healthy alternatives here & there.

Enter Fruit Roll-ups.  It’s fruit.  But it’s fun.  But it’s fruit!  But it’s fun!  (See a pattern?)  Fruit Roll-ups have contiually evolved and changed to keep kids engaged and wanting more.  When the first ingredient in a kids’ snack is a FRUIT, I’m sold.

Now Fruit Roll-Ups can be PERSONALIZED, too!  Now, I have to explain something.  My oldest son has never liked Fruit Roll-ups because he doesn’t like getting his fingers sticky (I know… ), so I ordered our personalized Fruit Roll-ups for my daughter.  When she first opened the package and unrolled it, she saw the message I’d put on there for her: 

She got SUCH a big kick out of that!  Over the next couple of days, as the box of 30 dwindled, my oldest decided to try one.   HE LOVED it! LOL 

Ok, so anyway – you can order your own personalized fruit roll-ups for any occasion!  I am thinking they’d be a great birthday party favor!  

The best part, of course, is that I have a code to give away for you to receive your OWN box of 30 personalized fruit roll-ups (a $30 value)!

When I was asked if I’d like to take a look at a mattress protector, I jumped at the chance because – HELLO!? – I have a co-sleeping toddler.  My mattress has really taken a beating from Zachary’s leaking bottles and leaking diapers.  The fact that we’d only bought it 2 years ago, just before we had him – PRICELESS.

I also have a major issue with allergies so yeah, this was perfect for me!

I put the Protect-A-Bed Premium mattress protector on my bed & pillow immediately, and was pleasantly surprised!  I was concerned that, because it’s got a waterproof protection side to keep moisture from the mattress, that we’d hear it crinkle when we moved around.  But this thing is so quiet!  You’d never know that it’s waterproof at all.  Even the pillow case is waterproof!

The very next morning, I noticed that when I woke up, my head wasn’t all stuffy, as it typically is because of my allergies.  The pillow protector had worked!  It was awesome! 

I know, there’s not a whole lot I can say about a mattress pad, but seriously, I’m SO pleased with it!   Visit Protect-a-Bed’s site and check out the variety of products they have for your bed and even the baby’s CRIB!

Best of all, of course, is that I have a giveaway for you!  One lucky lucky reader will win their choice of AllerZip Mattress protector, a Premium Mattress Protector or Crib Mattress Protector!  You’ll also receive a Premium Pillow Protector!
