Glass Dharma Straws-giveaway! Spring is here Day 10....

 {We are celebrating 30 days of spring...and 30 ways we as a family are celebrating spring.  From giveaways, crafts and recipes---come along with us as we celebrate the season.}

Today, in honor of smoothie season arriving I offer you a giveaway from Glass Dharma Straws:

In their own words:

Glass Dharma Straws are:

• kid-friendly
• dishwasher and microwave safe
• made of a glass that is similar to Pyrex brand
• Simply elegant!  Why would you ever use plastic again?
• Environmentally friendly.

 

On a personal note:

At first thought I questioned the safety of these.  I mean, glass straws?  Really?  However, after using them with all my kiddos of smoothie drinking age--3-14, we have fallen in love with them. A neat way to make our smoothie drinking just a bit more fun. And, it encourages them to guzzle down all the wonderful nutrients you can hide in them! Need some smoothie inspiration? Here is a link to our newest smoothie recipe....Orange Julius. You will NEVER go back to the mall for one of these again! 

Would you like to  win a $25.oo gift certificate to Glass Dharma Straws for your family?  All you need do is leave a comment on this post.  That's it! 

{Giveaway will close on Friday, May 27th, at 8:00 p.m. (E.S.T.) Comments are now closed. Winner will be posted this weekend.}

The winner is:  jennifer_rice12@-----congratulations Jennifer!  (Jennifer, if you don't receive an e-mail from Glass Dharma straws soon, with your special code, please e-mail and let me know!  I'll be in touch with them tomorrow, to let them know you were our winner.)

Bulk herb store giveaway!

Today, I offer you a giveaway from Bulk Herb Store

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a mom, do you wish you knew how to naturally help your family when they have the flu, a pesky bee stings, or they have a tummy ache?  Do you want to stop buying expensive vitamins that are heavily processed, and find a whole food way to build up your family's health more frugally?

Bulk herb store will help you do all these things and more.  I fell in LOVE with them years ago, and they are still my go to source for herbs, teas and more for my family today.  I cannot recommend them highly enough, as I have purchased from them for a long time, and have used their products continually for my own family.

That is why I am excited to offer 5 (five!) of my readers a free copy of Making Herbs Simple Part 1!  I purchased my copy about 3 years ago, and I have watched it many times, as well as loaned it out to many a friend. 

In Bulk Herb Store's Words:

Every decade is riddled with a number of new discoveries and advancements in the medical field.  I think it is safe to assume that most of us have at one time or another benefited from the advice and/or treatment of a medical professional.  Thank God for our doctors, nurses and paramedics!  However, with all of man's achievements in this area, we have yet to outgrow our need for the healing power of the God-given herb. 

Come along with Shoshanna as she introduces you to the wonderful world of herbs.  You will be surprised to discover that many herbs may be growing right in your own backyard.

On a personal note:

As a homeschooling mama of 5, I have been able to use this video not only to teach myself about the wonders of herbs, but also my children!  They have learned to recognize many of the herbs, and know their benefits as well.  Also, you can make the tinctures together, as well as have a fun girls night doing the herbal hair treatments on each other! 

Hint:  If you go to Bulk Herb Store, and click on the You tube link on the right, you will find all sorts of WONDERFUL smoothie recipe videos!  I have written every one of them down, and go back to them again and again.  Highly recommend the kids smoothie, and the chocolate one as well....enjoy!

This moment....and a giveaway!

This moment...inspired by Soulemama...a time I want to reflect upon and remember.

Still trying my best to work out as often as possible.....at 32 weeks into my pregnancy.  Who knew...I 've still got feet!  Had to have one shot like this during the pregnancy.

Anyone who leaves a comment in this post, will be entered into a giveaway for Boiron homeopathic products.  TWO different winners will each receive a full sized bottle of Chestal cough rememdy, a full sized box of oscillococcinum (type that 10 times fast!), and a booklet with $5.oo in coupons as well.  These products are homeopathic, and safe to give to children older than 2 years of age.  The oscillococcinum can even help ward off the flu if taken when symptoms first start to appear!  We have used these products in our home, and keep them on hand as part of our natural medicine arsenal for wintertime.  

{Comments will close Saturday  Monday night...winner to be announced on Monday Tuesday morning!  Good luck!}

Have a lovely weekend,

Joy
