If you follow Tropicana on Twitter or Facebook, they sometimes offer up more points just for the fun of it!

You can search for the rewards in your area at the Tropicana website.  We are probably going to use most of our awards at local museums and outside attractions.  You can also print rewards for discounts at Massage Envy, some craft stores, and for Coleman camping gear!

Check it out and let me know how you use your Juicy Rewards!

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in the Tropicana Juicy Insiders Ambassador program by Mom Central on behalf of Tropicana. I received 12 free Juicy Rewards points and a $50 Visa gift card to use in redemption of the points and to facilitate my review.

These sample packs are great for keeping in the car for those unexpected emergencies, or in the guest bathroom for your guests with unexpected emergencies!

I’m not sure how long they’ll be available, so head on over and get yours today!

Herbal Essence shampoo x2
Herbal Essence mousse x2
Price is 99¢ I had 2 $1.00/1 coupons and 2 Buy a shampoo and get a styler for free. The way CVS works is they take the FULL RETAIL VALUE of the product off before the CVS card takes it down to sale price – not the sale price. I guess they figure they can get the full value back or will regardless? So, the cashier took off $4.29 instead of 99¢ twice. This gave me a $6.62 profit.

2 bags Rolo
2 bags Reese’s
2 bags Kit Kat
They are $3.49 each but on sale BOGO. I had 2 $2.00/3 coupons so my total was $6.47 for 6 bags

When I scanned my card, I got a $1.00 off any CVS paper towel coupon. Grabbed a single roll for $1.29 or 29¢ after coupon.

My subtotal was 07¢, tax $1.02. My total was $1.09 but for some reason I only had to pay $1.07 – haven’t figured that one out but I am not complaining!

My daughter loves having her toe nails painted, and I love this polish because it is non-toxic and odor-free.

According to their website, herbal coffee is a blend of herbs, nuts and grains that are roasted and ground just like regular coffee.  There is no caffeine, but the flavor is robust and comparable to coffee.

If you try a free sample, I’d love to hear what you think!  My parents are coming to town in a couple months, and I’ll have them try out my free sample!

Once you register, you will also find a ton of useful articles and tools to help keep you moving!  My 9yo received a pedometer for his birthday and has gotten a kick out of tracking how many steps he takes in a day.  I think my 7yo will give him a run for his money with this one!

It’s a fun CD with some songs that I absolutely love, and think they did a great job turning them into jazz versions — like “Shortnin’ Bread” which is a song my mom sung for years, and I also sing to my kids.  My 2yo recognized “Sing a Song of Sixpence” from a nursery rhyme book we have, and thought it was great fun to dance along to the rhyme she recognized.  “Stomp Stomp” was a favorite of all 3 kids — as they stomped around the living room, and had me play it over and over.

I think they listened to it 3 or 4 times today alone, and my 7yo asked for it to be loaded onto his MP3 player — which is a pretty good recommendation if you ask me!  I think they have another hit on their hand with My kids love music. They all have their preferences, but my 7yo especially loves jazz. I’ve been a fan of Putumayo’s collection of music for a long time, so I was thrilled to check out their latest release for kids: Putumayo Kids Presents: Jazz Playground.

If you want to hear a few of the songs from the CD, check out their website and you can listen to “Stomp Stomp” as well as 2 other selections from the CD. The CD released this week, and is available at major retailers, including Amazon.

With songs from Tears for Fears, Thompson Twins, Wham!, The Cars and many more — I felt like I was back in high school wearing tons of black rubber bracelets like Madonna and stone washed jeans. Did 80’s Workout Mix make me want to work out? No, not really . . . but it did prompt a walk down memory lane!

I like that they collected all the songs together, but made it easy to pick and choose which to purchase and download. If you use iTunes (like I do) the Amazon downloader feeds your new music right into our iTunes music file.

Have fun with the 80’s Workout Mix! You’re bound to find a few favorites again.

Lydia received the sweater shown here, and it became a favorite of hers and mine! It is amazingly soft, and extremely cute!

Every piece offered by June Bee Baby is a unique pattern either knit or crocheted by a group of women in Istanbul, Turkey. These talented women create clothing in their homes from only the highest quality natural fibers.  Every stitch is done by hand — you won’t find a machine stitch on any of this clothing!

The quality is absolutely perfect.  I admit that I looked over the sweater carefully when it arrived, and I found absolutely no flaws.  Everyone we meet while she’s wearing this sweater comments on how sweet it is.

If you’d like to dress a little one in your life in these unique creations, the owner has generously provided me with a discount code you can use at June Bee Baby!

Enter SPRING25 into the promotional code box and you will receive 25% off any piece until March 31, 2010!  Any of these pieces would make an adorable Easter outfit!

While there, I also picked up some great deals on boys’ clothes (cargo pants on clearance and some $5 tees) and then picked up an adorable tutu skirt for my 2yo.  I paid full-price ($10.50), but I couldn’t pass up the cuteness!  It has a soft, stretchy waist and is lined with a soft polyester material.

The skirt falls just below her knee — which is where I like her skirts to fall (although looking at the reviews apparently I’m in the minority?)  She fell in love with it and hasn’t taken it off since I brought it home.  I think I’m going to have to pick up one in yellow and a third in lavender.

Everyone was happy when I got home, and now I can only hope my 7yo can wear his pants for more than 2 weeks without ripping out the knees!

My kids are past the baby food stage, so I shared some of these with local friends with tiny ones.  They loved that they were organic, and how convenient they were.  One friend with a baby and a preschooler told me that she chilled the Plum Tots Organics Mish Mash, Strawberry and gave it to her preschooler as a snack.  He thinks they’re a special treat — like a smoothie — without added sugars.

When she told me that, I offered them to my kids, and they all thought they were a great treat, too!  I thought about freezing some of them, but my kids ate all the ones I had before I had the chance to try that out.  I love that they’re an easy-to-carry treat that is healthy as well!

You can learn more about Plum Organics at their website, and you’ll find their products online at Amazon, as well as locally at Whole Foods and Babies R Us.

Disclosure: I received samples of this product for review.

I ordered mine and had it sent to a Walgreens 2000 miles away so my mom could pick it up!

I have also enjoyed being able to access all of my Kindle books from my iPhone. For those times when I don’t carry my Kindle, I can always read on my iPhone, albeit with a much smaller screen.

Amazon has just released an application for Blackberry users. You don’t even have to own a Kindle, you can download the app to your Blackberry (or iPhone or PC — a Mac version is coming soon) and then download Kindle books to read via those devices.

I’m still surprised how much I like my Kindle, but I truly think it’s awesome. The only thing I wish is that I could download books from the library easily — but my husband has a Sony e-Reader which allows him to do that for us both.  If a Kindle isn’t in your budget, consider downloading the free apps to read books on your iPhone, Blackberry or PC.

They ask that you consider making a donation to the Children’s Miracle Network, or other children’s charity in exchange for the pancakes. They are hoping to raise $5 million in 5 years for the Children’s Miracle Network.

Visit their site for all the details.  I’m trying to figure out the best time of day to visit . . . this is one time that homeschooling has advantages!

Yum!  Use their store locator to find one near you.

If you take a picture of your free pretzel and upload it to their Facebook page, you might even win a t-shirt!

Ok, maybe not that set for our family. I received the traditional DVD for Christmas and my kids just watched it over the weekend. They all enjoyed it, and my 2yo has been asking for the flying monkey show ever since. But, truly, I don’t think I’ll buy any more DVDs unless they are Blu-ray. It’s kinda like buying VHS videos, I think!

Do you have a Blu-ray player yet? What do you think?

I haven’t used these products before, but I’m willing to try them with a free sample. These samples usually go quick, so don’t delay! Head on over and choose your freebie right away.

Mrs. Meyer’s Baby Blossom- Hair/Body Shampoo leaves her hair shiny and smooth, as well as smelling delightful.  I only need to use a small amount to wash her long hair. I used Baby Magic products for years, but I’ve made the switch to Mrs. Meyer’s new baby line!

Disclosure: I received a sample of this product for review.

It has a nice, wide area to spread across tiny lips and cheeks (and big lips and cheeks, too!) The balm is gently-scented, soft, non-greasy and so easy to apply. And, it works!

It’s about the size of 2 traditional lip balms next to each other, so it fits easily into a diaper bag or purse. I have used it on my 2yo daughter, my 9yo son and even myself! The baby blossom scent is fresh, clean and very natural.

I am very happy with this new baby line from Mrs. Meyers, but I think my favorite piece so far is the Lip & Cheek Balm! You can find it at Amazon and local retail stores that carry the Mrs. Meyer’s Baby line. Suggested retail is $7.99.
