Eco Mom Approved Kit review and $15.00 gc giveaway!

I love EcoMom! Have you been to their website yet? The site is choc full of eco-friendly items for the whole family. I recently received the EcoMom Approved "On the Go" kit.
There were several kits offered:
Pregnancy, New Baby, Back to School, Yo' Drops, Clean and Healthy Home, Laundry Day, Dad's Shelf, Sexy Mama, On the Go Gear, and Pampered Mama!
This is what I received:

I know that I can throw all of these items into my diaper bag and use them when I am out and about and on the go. Need a healthy snack for your kids? You don't have to go through that drive-thru and get some cheap, processed food. You can simply reach for an organic Jammy Sammy (a snack-sized sandwich bar). Baby have a blowout at the zoo? No worries... simply reach for the Nature Babycare sensitive/fragrance free wipes... Maybe you are still at the zoo and just got done at the petting zoo portion and its time for lunch, with no bathroom in sight! What do you do, you can simply reach for a alcohol free clean well sanitizing wipe! How easy! Oh, so you decided to have a picnic in the park last minute and the sun is really shining? No worries, reach for your little bottle of Supergoop SFP 30 sunscreen!

These items are perfect for us busy moms that are (sometimes) caught off guard by what life throws our way!

I LOVE the little on the go kit! 

All of the items pictured have been approved by EcoMom. What exactly does that mean, you ask? Simple, "ecomom Approved is an authentic and credible review process that gives every mom key information she needs to know before buying something. We do the research on important product attributes, such as its ingredients and packaging materials, so that moms don’t have to. Handy Icons offer further description on product details, making it even easier for moms to make healthy choices. Once something is ecomom Approved, it means that we believe it is the safest and best in its category. While ecomom Approved status does not guarantee an item will be carried on our site, we will offer only ecomom Approved products to our customers."

I love the fact that the products offered on the EcoMom website have gone through rigorous testing to ensure they are safe for me and my family!

EcoMom also sells cloth diapers!! You should be, because EcoMom has generously offered one LWML follower the chance to win a $15.00 gc to Ecomom.com

*CLOSED*Smartypants Gummy Vitamins Review and EcoMom $15.00 Gift Certificate Giveaway (14 October)!!

Proper nutrition is of great concern for me. I want to make sure my family is eating nutritious foods and getting all the important vitamins and minerals their bodies need. So you can imagine how excited I was when I was given the chance to try Smartypants Gummy vitamins! I recently received a package of 120 Smartypants gummy vitamins from Ecomom to try. I am a huge fan of Ecomom. Their site focuses on eco friendly and organic products for the whole family. They carry a wide variety of products, to include organic baby food, items just for mom, feeding and nursing, bath and body care items, health and wellness, toys and books and even clothing! You can learn more about Ecomom by checking out their website, HERE.

Smartypants gummy vitamins are an All-in-One multivitamins for children ages 3 and up. One single serving size consists of 4 gummies.
I gave these vitamins to my son Aaron, and he LOVED them. I had no problems getting him to eat all 4 gummies.
Pros:
*My son LOVED them and he wanted more.
*I like that these vitamins are eco-friendly, with non-tuna sourced DHA Omega 3’s.
*They are gluten and casein free.
*Smartypants contain no high fructose corn syrup and are made with natural flavors and colors from natural sources.
*Smartypants meet 100% of the US RDI of vitamin D and includes 13 other nutrients.
Cons:
*I personally prefer to give my son a one-time dose of vitamins, to give him 4 at a time to equal 1 full serving to me was a bit challenging (though he didn’t seem to mind).
*One serving (4 gummies) contains 5 grams of sugar. I try to steer clear of added sugar in my kids’ diet. Although 5 grams is not too much, it is still extra sugar!

I think these vitamins would be perfect for a child that has a hard time taking any other vitamin/supplement form. My son considered these vitamins as ‘candy’ and I think that is why he liked to eat them. So if you need a vitamin that comes from natural ingredients that your kids will love, look no further!
