Giveaway: L’EQUIP Nutrimill Grain Mill!

The winner of the L’EQUIP Nutrimill Grain Mill is Alecia Shannon!

_____________________

There is no better way to kick off “Whole Grains Month” than with giving away a Nutrimill Grain Mill! Valued at more than $250, I am absolutely thrilled that our newest sponsor L’EQUIP asked me to give one of these away. I was the lucky recipient of a Nutrimill at Christmas last year and before that I honestly never knew how easy it was to grind your own grains. And I also did not know how good and fresh food would taste when made with freshly milled flour. You can completely forget that pungent and stale “whole-wheat” taste from store-bought baked goods!

I admit though, when I first heard of people milling grains at home I thought it was a little crazy myself. So in order to help break down that barrier I recently published a post (with a video) entitled “Grinding your own wheat is not crazy after all.”  As you can see in the video the process is really fairly simple, especially with a high-quality machine such as the Nutrimill. And for me the process is completely worth it knowing it allows me to make the most nutritious and best tasting whole-grain foods possible!

Giveaway: Piggy Paint Gift Certificate!

If you are concerned about putting all natural food into your body then chances are you’re also concerned about the products you’re putting ON your body. For quite some time now I’ve been worried about the nail polish we were using because there seems to be more and more bad press around the chemicals it contains (like formaldehyde). And especially since I frequently polish the nails of my two precious daughters I didn’t want to be putting harmful chemicals on their little fingers that they sometimes put in their mouths!

Well, now I don’t have to worry about that anymore after discovering an amazing company (started by a mom of course) called Piggy Paint! They make natural, non-toxic, low-odor nail polish that comes in a rainbow of colors geared toward both kids and adults. What a great idea! As you can see in the picture my girls and I had a fun afternoon experimenting with some of Piggy Paint’s colors, some toothpicks, and our imagination. And just for the record…this water-based polish goes on just like the other stuff. I thought it might seem thin or peel off right away, but so far it is working out perfectly!

I am thrilled to not only share this company with you today, but to also give away a free $25 Piggy Paint gift certificate. Here are the details: Continue Reading »

Giveaway: Duralex Glass Cups for Kids!

Since my oldest daughter is entering 1st grade this fall I’ve decided it’s time to do away with all our sippy cups. Plus, I’ve been getting rid of plastic in other areas of our kitchen so it seemed like the right time to upgrade the kids’ items as well. I wasn’t quite ready to start letting our daughters use the “adult” glass cups though since we keep them in a cabinet they can’t reach, and they seem rather “breakable” anyway. So I was thrilled when I learned about these kid-friendly glass tumblers that are extremely durable and chip resistant. They are the perfect solution!

I put these stackable glass cups in a big drawer that my daughters can reach, and they LOVE getting out their own cups and filling them up with water all by themselves. My four-year-old is graduating from sippy cups a little early, but she is probably the most excited. The first night she used one I think she told me a dozen times that her cup was “breakable” just like mommy’s. And since the glass is durable and tempered I don’t worry too much about it actually breaking. Although I was sure to tell them if they did accidentally break a glass not to move an inch until I came to the rescue! So far these cups seem pretty kid-proof though so I’m thrilled to be giving away a set to one lucky winner today.

Stephanie is a jack-of-all-trades, but one of her specialties is how to buy and eat real food on a budget (sound familiar?). And she has taken the time to put her extensive knowledge into a book…one of which I am giving away today!
