Tie Buddies Giveaway Ends 12/06/09

Tie Buddies was kind enough to send us a set of race car Tie Buddies for review, and are offering one of our readers their choice of Tie Buddies for a boy or a girl.

Tie Buddies are really cute, and a wonderful idea. I do want to start with there is a choking warning on the front of their package, I do think that’s responsible of them. As these are small, and if removed could very well pose a choking hazard.

These are an aid to help your child(ren) learn to tie their shoes. Not only does this help to learn to tie their shoes, it helps them tie a more secure knot. It’s not fun at any age to tie, and retie a loose shoe lace.

They are sized well enough to slide right onto laces of shoes, and little hands can maneuver them about. Creating simple stories with your child, and teaching him/her to tie their shoes can create lasting memories, and priceless quality time with your kids.

As I mentioned above we were sent Race Car Tie Buddies. Ours are blue squares, 2 with red, 2 with green race cars on them. The girls Tie Buddies are Fairies and Wands.

They really are so cute! And I think fairly priced at $8.99. Tie Buddies, ship quickly, and their site is rather easy to navigate. Easy navigation to shop on a website is a big plus from me. Nine step instructions are printed on the back of the package, as well as on their site in case the packaging gets ripped while opening them.

Win It!

Tie Buddies is offering one Networking Witches reader a set of Tie Buddies.

Mandatory Entry:

Head on over to Tie Buddies and tell me what pair you would pick if you won.

Good Health Natural Products – Snacks Giveaway – Black Friday Event Ends 11/28/09 @ 10 Pm Est

Everyone needs snacks for the holidays organic or not.  It’s a need for the season with parties and gatherings.  Why not “Health It Up” with something that is better for you?  I received a box of snacks from Good Health Natural Products.

Losing taste by going organic?  Not with Good Health Natural Products.  Quite honestly I seriously don’t think I’ll go back to regular junk.  The cost of these snacks are the same as all the others on the shelves.

I was convinced that I didn’t like the Polenta Corn Chip.  I had to do my duty *sigh* so I popped a couple in my mouth and HEY they weren’t that bad.   In fact they were good.  Really good.  They come in 4 great flavors too. 

The Humbles, hummus chips are my favorite.  These chips are addictive my family ate them kind of like crackers with soup and sandwiches.  The best I can describe these is that they are light and airy with lots of flavor.

Veggie Stix come in Hot or Regular.  Hot is nice and spicy and a happy medium heat.  These were my kids favorite and  my youngest wants to take them to his class for snack day.  

The Olive Oil and Avocado Oil Chips are really good and taste exactly like regular kettle chips.  They have a nice crunch and go great with a sandwich or dip.

Lastly is the popcorn.  It is really good and is a great treat with hot chocolate or while you are watching  great holiday movies curled up with the family.

Win It!

Good Health Natural Products is generously giving one Networking Witches reader an assortment of their snacks.

Mandatory Entry:

Go to the Good Health Natural Products website and look at their great snacks and tell me what snacks you like and pick carefully because you may get those snacks.

ECOBAGS® The Original Reusable Bag Company – Review

ECOBAGS® sent me a  String Bag.  These are unique compared to other eco bags on the market.  Mine came in Lime Green (one of my favorite colors).  If Lime Green isn’t for you, these come in all different colors, different handle styles, and they come in a Grab Bag (5 bags of different colors). 

I have used my bags for two different activities.  The first time I used it to put apples in that we were picking from a neighbor’s tree down the road.  The second time for my gym clothes, which always need airing.  I like that the bag holds up to 40 pounds and I wasn’t afraid at any time that it wouldn’t hold the apples.  When I used it for my gym clothes it was a handy way to throw it in the car and it received a lot of publicity when I walked into the gym. 

ECOBAGS® is a member of Fair Trade, Organic Trade Assoc, Women’s Business Enterprise and more.  The bag is machine washable and drip dry and is 100% natural cotton.  Save more than the evironment with these great bags.   ECOBAGS® is having a 50% off sale and you can purchase the Classic String Bag for as low as $2.99.

If you want to link up with ECOBAGS® here are some of the ways:

Jantsen’s Gift by Pam Cope & Aimee Molloy Ends 11/16/2009

Jantsen’s Gift
A True Story of Grief, Rescue, and Grace
By Pam Cope, Aimee Molloy
Hardcover Book 24.99 USA/27.99 Canada
320 Pages

The book is about a mom (Pam) who loses her 15 year old son suddenly and unexpectedly.  It follows her though her grief, going through deep depression, and healing.  This also introduces you to her supportive family and the love her husband has for her.

The book takes you to Vietnam and describes the poor conditions and the children’s need for help.  This moving story tells of how they moved their grief to “Touch A Life” the foundation her and her husband have created to help desperate children in countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Ghana.jantsensgift

The story of Pam Cope and her family is full of grief and recovery.  It is an inspiration to anyone to change the way they think and to make a difference in the world.  Our society is so focused on keeping up with the Jone’s and trying to be the best at everything that we rarely stop to smell the Roses.

I had a hard time putting this book down.  I had an even harder time getting through the grief and the feelings of depression that Pam went through with dry eyes.  I can’t imagine the grief her and her family went through.  Her family’s first brave trip to Vietnam and the start of the healing process.

This book should become a required read for older middle school, and high school students. It would help show how much parents truly love their children, as well as helping them to see how fortunate they are to live in the United States of America.

I cannot encourage you enough to read this book.  Joining a reading group?  Here is a great wealth of knowledge and information to help prepare you, Jantsen’s Gift Reading Group Guide.  Jantsen’s Gift is due for release 11/10/2009 and  you can check The Hachette Group.
