LeapFrog: Math Adventure to the Moon...

I was lucky enough, to have the opportunity, to review the recently released Math Adventure to the Moon DVD, from LeapFrog.  The DVD is intended  for children from 3-6 years of age.  My daughter is a couple months shy of 3 years and has developmental delays, associated with autism, yet she enjoyed the show immensely.  I feel she was engrossed enough in the program, that she absorbed at least some of the material.  ...

Does Resveratrol Really Work?...

Like many people I saw the story about Resveratrol on 60 minutes last spring.   It is a phytoalexin extracted  from red wine, as well as Japanese knotweed, and has  been shown to have a pretty amazing at effect on aging and general health.  I wondered, if  Resveratrol really works, and I am about to find out. ResVitale recently provided me with two of their anti-aging products, Resveratrol and Collagen Enhance.  My...

Win a $20 Grocery Card and Yoplait Greek Yogurt...

Thanks to Stop & Shop and MyBlogSpark, I just tried Yoplait’s new Greek yogurt.  This fat free yogurt has approximately twice the protein of regular yogurts, and only 130 calories.   It is available in four flavors: Blueberry, Strawberry, Honey Vanilla and Plain.

Steaz Iced Teaz Review...

  Steaz is a Fair Trade company which produces 3 different lines of organic ready to drink teas.  I received a sampler six pack of Steaz Iced Teaz a few weeks ago, from a promotion they did with Amy at ResourcefulMommy.  The pack contained two each of: Green Tea with Peach, Green Tea with Blueberry Pomegranate Acai and White Tea with Lime & Pomegranate.  I am not generally a big fan of ready to drink iced teas,...

Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce: Review ...

I recently received two bottles of Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce to try out.  Although the sauce is labeled all purpose, I was skeptical.  I didn’t need to be.  I first realized that the sauce had gone over well, after seeing one of the bottles was about a third empty.  Apparently, my husband had used it on his steak tips a day or so earlier.  Mr. Fussy had liked it. Last night, both my husband and I used...
