Me and My Discoveries

First Juice

2009-03-26T11:46:00.000-07:00

Last night my husband and I were at Toys 'R Us and came across this! How exciting!

First Juice fruit and vegetable juice beverage is the first juice designed specifically for toddlers and their parents to be lower in sugar with nothing artificial.

From its organic and low sugar attributes to nutritional value and convenience, it offers everything a parent could want in a juice for their child.

Sugar Comparison

First Juice® brand beverage has 12 grams of sugar per 8 fl. oz. serving, compared to 27 grams of sugar for an equal serving of 100% apple juice. That's 50% less sugar than the leading 100% apple juice. Not to mention it's organic–nothing artificial, ever.

First Juice has the same 12 grams of sugar per 8 fl. oz. serving as organic, low-fat milk.

They offer 4 different flavors:

Apple+carrot (43% juice)
Banana+carrot (49% juice
Peach+Purple Carrot (44% juice)
Blueberry+Purple Carrot (45% juice)

Purple Carrots you ask? Yes!

These look great and I'm excited to try them out. I'm bummed I didn't pick some up while I was there last night! The flavors sound delicious, it's real juice.. no fluff, and ALL organic! Sounds great to me!

You can go to their website and print off a coupon!

Alright ladies!!! I'm extremely interested in your response to these!!

These are NOT your momma's cloth diapers by any means!

These on average are around $18 per diaper, however, if you use the one-size, these will pay for themselves in NOOOOO time!

I personally have never really considered using cloth diapers until some more recent research. I'm actually thinking about getting 2 or 3 and using them throughout the day while were at home. Especially now when I can typically predict when Kinsley will have a poopy diaper! hehe

I'm curious ..
1) Do you use them.. why or why not?
2) If you use cloth diapers... which brand? Like them? Love them? Hate them?

You can buy them online at Diapers.com
Enter this code: MRS_1655
and get $10 off your first order of $49 or more.
I look at it as... buy 2 diapers, get one 1/2 off! WOO HOO Plus get free shipping!

Plus you can buy everything for babies on their website!

These are so awesome. They are for toddlers/kids. They are nutritious and yet they have "confidential" things in the sauces. The packaging is fun, the names are fun, and I think kids will enjoy eating it. If they're excited about what they're eating, they'll be more open to try things and be healthier in the long run.

I'm very interested in trying these with Kinsley! The options are wonderful and I think introducing Kinsley to all sorts of new foods is very important (I'm such a PICKY eater and I don't want my daughter to be like me..hehe). I'm still on the hunt for them. They sell the cereal at our Kroger, it says online that they sell them at Whole Foods and Super Target. I'll have to check next time I'm at either one of them!

If anyone else has tried them, I'd love to hear feedback on price, satisfaction, and where did you get em?

Alright everyone!!!

The first product that has been suggested is.....

The "one size fits all" ensures you'll get plenty of use out of them! Plus so many options of colors, pattern, extra length if you need it, organic cotton or wool if you want it...

"These are adorable!! We saw them at market and have seen them everywhere since then!!

From babies wearing them to cheerleaders wearing them on their arms for those cold football games!!" - Christy

"I think these are so precious! I placed an order online today! I've heard such great things about them, and the price is very reasonable ($7-$12 a pair) especially since I know Kinsley (my 6 mos old daughter) will be able to wear them for a LONG time. I'm especially excited for her to wear them once she starts crawling since we have hardwood floors throughout the house. The only problem I've had so far is trying to narrow down which ones I wanted!!!! They are all so cute. Once I receive them, I'll be sure to update my review." -Michelle

Let's hear what you think? Have you tried them yet?

No where to buy them here in the 'boro... but you just might be seeing them very soon!!

Here's their website, go check em out!

I am very excited about a new adventure and journey I will be taking on this blog! I have some special friends that will be taking it with me and would love to have you come along!

We are going to be exploring some products that are out in the market place... some new and some have been out a little while but maybe not as well known. So that is where you come in...

We are looking for product reviews!

I have had so many people ask me about what I thought about this product or that one... so I have decided to put it in a blog format and that way people can come here and comment and let me know what they think and make suggestions of products and we can chase down some of these products for you before you go out and purchase them.

My friend Michelle is going to be helping me in the fun journey and then I have another friend that will be joining us as well a little later down the road.

See, so much to look forward to so let's jump right in... we have two products that we are already exploring... so be watching the next couple of days for these!!

Again... welcome and this a causal place so feel free to jump right in! : )

oh yes... and a little housekeeping... let's be kind and remember that there are people behind each and every comment that will be made... also... not everyone will spell or make the best choices in grammar ... I can promise I will not ; ) !! So, on that note... show mercy and grace to everyone!

Thanks! Christy
