Stonyfield Organic Greek -and- Chia Yogurt

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Stonyfield. All opinions are my own.

If you're looking for something different to eat for breakfast, you need to try Stonyfield's new Greek and Chia yogurt!
With 500mg of omega-3s, the delicious chia-on-the-bottom is the star of the show. There are currently 4 flavors: Red Berries, Pear, Blueberry, and Blood Orange.

"It’s an organic taste experience like you've never had before." - Stonyfield

Greek and Chia is the perfect combination. Who knew?! My son enjoyed the Red Berries flavor and wasn't even bothered by the sight of the chia seeds. (I made sure to completely mix the yogurt and chia before handing it to him.)
He ate the entire cup and asked me to help him scrape the sides.

This is by far the best Greek yogurt I've had. The flavors, as well as the chia seeds, definitely makes it unique. It's a snack you can enjoy at any time of the day. It's that good!

BALM! Baby Diaper Balm {and 1st Aid}

Disclaimer: I received this product from BALM! Baby. As a BALM! Baby blogger, I agreed to use this product and review it on my blog. All opinions are my own.

BALM! Baby Diaper Balm and First Aid Being a mom, we know all too well the pain that comes with diaper rashes. They range from mild to severe and make for a very cranky baby. I've used a few different diaper rash creams before but none of them compare to this one!

BALM! Baby's Diaper Balm is organic and made with 100% natural ingredients. It's even safe to use with cloth diapers and gentle enough for newborns! This would make the perfect gift for new and expectant moms. I loooove the way it smells too. :)
It doubles as a first aid balm with its unique healing properties. What else can you use it for?

• Eczema
• Cuts & scrapes
• Burns (including sunburns)
• Cradle cap
• Bug bites
• Psoriasis
• Dry skin
• Skin rashes
• Sores
• Post-partum wounds
• Bruises
• Dry lips

Eco-Friendly The diaper balm container is made of glass which makes it very eco-friendly. No need to worry about BPA. You can recycle it or simply reuse the jar once the balm is used up.
The balm (which is made in Hawaii) is also vegan and cruelty-free.
So far I've used it on my 2-year old's diaper rash and a few scrapes. The healing time is fast - I saw great results within a few hours after application.

Keomi Skincare Organic Handmade Soap

I love everything that has to do with handmade soap - the ingredients, the process, the colors and fragrances. Nothing compares to handmade soap!

What's so special about Keomi Skincare soap?

• Contains no sulfate, petro-chemicals, artificial colors or fragrance, or parabens
• 100% Vegan
• Gluten-free
• Not tested on animals

 "Infusions of Comfrey, Chamomile, Calendula, and Collagen-rich Horsetail & Green Tea are blended with extra Essential Fatty Acids, in a Sweet Orange/Herbal Blend of Essential Oils."

I had the privilege of trying the Green Tea Goddess soap and was really pleased. It smells amazing - an invigorating scent of herbs and oils. It reminded me of a luxurious spa. One thing I didn't like was how fast it was used up! I did receive a sample-size bar so that makes a difference.

Since there are no nasty ingredients, the soap left my skin feeling softer than ever. It was super sudsy and moisturizing. I even used it when bathing my two-year old. Take a look at the ingredient list:

Kiss Me Organics Matcha Green Tea Powder

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I've never tried matcha green tea powder so I was really curious to review Kiss Me Organics' Organic Matcha. I've heard many great things about it especially about the health benefits.

Some of those benefits include:

• Metabolism booster
• Improves skin health
• Antioxidant rich
• Increases energy
• Improves memory
• Helps you burn calories
• Anti-aging

I really love that this matcha is organic and all natural. This means it contains no chemicals and is free of preservatives. Just 100% organic matcha! The resealable package is also a little bonus.

You can make lattes, smoothies, and use the green tea powder for baking. I decided to make banana bread to see how it came out. Here are the results:

I did make the mistake of not adding a lot of matcha but that's ok! Trial and error. :)

I used about a teaspoon of the powder so maybe that's why it didn't turn out super green. Nonetheless, the banana bread was delicious.

Picky Eater? Try Happy Family Organic Super Nutrition Shakes!

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

If you haven't heard yet, Happy Family has introduced a new line of nutrition shakes for children. Happy Child Super Nutrition Shakes are currently available in two yummy flavors: Chocolate and Vanilla.

Sometimes the hardest task as a parent is getting your little one(s) to eat a balanced meal. Lots of times they aren't fan of vegetables. These organic healthy shakes are packed with:

• Fruit
• Vegetables
• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Protein
• Fiber

At two years old, my son loves fruit but doesn't really like to eat veggies. I can sneak vegetables in his diet through the Super Nutrition Shakes and not feel guilty. There are no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.  :)

Z decided that his favorite of the two flavors was vanilla. The shakes are shelf-stable but in my opinion taste much better when they are nice and cold.

Visit the Happy Family website to find a store near you.

You can also order online through the Happy Family store.

Cascadian Farm Mother's Day Giveaway

Disclaimer: This post is brought to you by Cascadian Farm. All opinions are my own.

Mother's Day is coming up and I have teamed up with Cascadian Farm again to bring you another fun giveaway.

This will be my 2nd year celebrating Mother's Day as a mother myself. When I was younger I always loved when Mother's Day came around. She raised me as a single mom so I made sure to show my appreciation for her. In school we'd make handmade crafts to bring home to our moms. The best part was seeing how happy she was receiving something so simple. Simple, but made from the heart. <3

Since we're a military family and always moving around the US, I'm not always there to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom. She's currently on the east coast while I'm on the west. We always keep in touch so we usually Skype each other on Mother's Day.

A few days ago I posted my first mom selfie to join Cascadian Farm in celebrating what being a mom means to me. Here was my first mom selfie I posted on Instagram:

As you can see it's not glamorous and I ended up with oatmeal on my shirt. Note to self: no more mom selfies with toddler while he's eating. ;)

If you want to join the fun, just use the hashtag #momselfie on Instagram or Twitter. I'd love to see the pictures you take with your little ones!

Have a Happy Mother's Day!

Enter below to win this Cascadian Farm prize pack. Goodies include:

• Cascadian Farm Oats & Honey granola, Oats & Honey Crunchy bars and both flavors of the Chewy Bars with organic pea protein. 
• Cascadian Farm swag, including water bottle, notebook, tote bag and other goodies.
• Samples of Happy Baby Organic Baby Food Greek Yogurt.

Giveaway is open to US residents and will end on May 14th.

The Organic Candy Factory

Disclaimer: I received samples of these delicious candy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Organic and candy go really well together! Although I don't eat lots of candy, I do feel less guilty when it comes to eating organic varieties.

The Organic Candy Factory offers a tasty selection of organic candy with the following benefits:

• Gluten-free
• Non-GMO
• Nut-free
• No pesticides
• No corn syrup
• Gelatin-free
• No artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners
• Vegan

You'll find gummy worms, gummy cubs, jelly beans, and heart gummies - all organic!

I was lucky enough to try the Sugar Sprinkled Gummy Worms and Gummy Cubs. Since they are gelatin-free, they are not like your typical gummy worms or gummy bears. They are much easier to bite and chew.
My son loves these. They were very easy for him to eat. The only issue I had is that he kept asking for more!
The Organic Candy Factory donates a percentage of their sales to Hope North, a 40-acre campus in northern Uganda where refugees, orphans and former child soldiers find a place to call home. ___________________________________________________________________________________

Green Virgin Products - Soap Nuts Liquid Laundry Detergent and Organic Moringa Oil (Giveaway)

Disclaimer: I received these natural products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Green Virgin Products is a company where you can purchase inexpensive non-toxic products. Their main focus is to provide eco-friendly products without harmful chemicals you'll find with giant corporations.
I was sent two products - Soap Nuts Liquid and Moringa Oil.

The Soap Nuts Liquid is a laundry detergent that is made from all natural soap nuts.

• Super concentrated
• Non-toxic
• Chemical-free
• Hypoallergenic

The Soap Nuts Liquid is gentle enough to use when washing baby's clothes. I even used it on Z's cloth diapers.

The 8 fl oz bottle is enough for 120 HE Wash Loads! That's pretty amazing. Not only is it all natural, it will also last you for a while.

The Moringa Oil is 100% Certified Organic. I had never heard of Moringa Oil until I was sent it for review. I couldn't wait to try it - it's anti-aging and contains:

• Omega acids
• Amino acids
• Bio-active compounds
• Vitamins A, C, and E
• Carotenoids

That's only a few of its benefits! Moringa Oil is used in shampoos, soaps, and moisturizers. It is even food grade meaning you can cook with it or use it as a salad dressing.

I apply the oil to my face and hair after it has been washed. I have noticed a big different in the health of my hair and skin. It has a light nutty scent but it goes away after a few minutes. If you're into beauty, this Moringa Oil should definitely be in your possession. 

Green Virgin Products is offering an exclusive 15% discount code by using SUN15OFF on your order.

One winner will receive a bottle of Soap Nuts Liquid and Moringa Oil. 

Open to US residents only. Giveaway ends 5/7.
