Smart Pants Product of the Week: Annie's Organic Produce Buying Club

Did you watch the CBS video I posted, Chemicals That Make You Fat? Were you as disgusted as me? I've never really bought into the organic crunchy lifestyle, but in recent years it's becoming more evident that the hormone filled steak may not be the best thing for you!

With this new realization I now look forward to Mondays around noon when I receive a wonderful phone call...."You can pick up after 1:30." No, not my munchkin, my produce! For nearly 2 months I have subscribed to Annie's Organic Produce Buying Club (http://www.anniesbuyingclub.com/) here in South Florida. For less than $40 a week I receive a tremendous box full of organic, and often local, produce. The box typically contains the staples of what we would normally buy, lettuce, tomatoes and bananas. But, every week there are items new and unique to me, my hubby and especially my little one.


Look at this week's items:
Yummy, right? Did you notice that beautiful artichoke or the yellow, yes I said yellow, mini carrots?? Annie's Club really gets me eating things I would have NEVER even thought of placing in my cart at Publix. I made collard green with leeks a few weeks ago, and have you ever had a saucer squash, well I had it sauteed with onions last month!



Each week not only am I provided with a bounty of produce, thankfully I receive a great resource of recipes that correspond with the produce of the week! It doesn't get much better than that! Actually, it does!!! With Annie's Club there are...
NO Start Up Costs
NO Dues or Membership Fees
NO Long-Term Commitments
NO Big Obligation for Your Valuable Time
NO more Paying Retail
NO excuse not to offer your family the freshest available organic produce!

I LOVE it! Can you tell!?!?!??!

As a Smart Mama, I have to say that the excitement of the week's produce is wonderful to see on my daughter's face! Hearing her ask if we'll be getting blueberries or strawberries is music to my ears? It sure beats hearing her ask for fast food!

I would love to hear from other Smart Mamas who belong to a similar buying club!!

Smarty Pants Product of the Week - Earthbound Farms snacks

I'm the lunchbox packer in this house, like many other Smart Mamas. We fill lunchboxes for the young and old (maybe I should have said middle-aged) with favorites like PB&J sandwiches to bags of chips.

A healthy item, fruit or veggie, is something I like to include, much to the complaints from the little and big. I've purchased apples, sliced and bagged them to put in the brown bag, but I'm sorely disappointed at the times the lunchbox returns with the now uneaten browned apples. I've recently started using the Eartbound Farm line instead. The individual packages of fresh, crunchy apple slices are perfect! The apples stay fresh and best of all they are very much enjoyed by munchkin and daddy!
Here are some items Earthbound Farms has all ready for you to throw in tomorrow's lunchbox:
  • Organic Apple Slices – These fresh, crunchy apple slices are the perfect size and ready to eat. (5 2oz bags for $3.99)
  • Organic Mini-Peeled Carrots snack pack – (10 2oz bags for $2.99)
  • Organic Carrot Dippers with Ranch Dressing – This perfect combination will help sneak in that serving of veggies at lunch (3 packs for $2.89)
  • Grab & Go Salads: Caesar Salad, Mixed Baby Greens or Baby Spinach Kits ($3.69 a box and includes salad, dressing, topping, fork and the clamshell package can be used as a bowl
  • Organic Raisin snack packs – A sweet treat in a little box (6 1.5oz boxes for $2.99)
PS - Already today I have munched on two bags of the Earthbound Farms Mini-Peeled Carrots snack pack en route to pick up my daughter from pre-school. They were crunchy and yummy and made the perfect snack!

As a special thank you to the wonderful readers of SmartyPantsMama.com, Earthbound Farms will provide one super lucky reader their full color cookbook, Food to Live By, with dozens of organic food recipes. To have a chance to win this special prize, simply follow the directions below! Giveaway will be held on Thursday, September 3rd.

Smarty Pants Product of the Week - Soy Delicious Candle

Product
Soy Delicious Candle
Smarty Pants Review
Are you a tremendous fan of all-in-one products like me? I love them! Soy Delicious Candles is that, and more! Over the last several weeks I have enjoyed the Island Mango aroma from my Soy Delicious candle. The scent is great, especially in the summer! As the candle burns the unique soy "wax" softens. Carefully using your finger or the provided little spoon, you can scoop out a little softened soy to use as a moisturizer - soy with its Vitamin E antioxidant properties, becomes a soft and luxurious moisturizer! So it's a candle AND a moisturizer! Wait, it gets even better!!! When you have burned out the candle (used up all the soy), wash the glass and you have a 14 oz tumbler for your next cocktail!
Why is it a Smarty Pants of Product?
Great value...candle, moisturizer and tumbler in one all natural soy candle! Makes a perfect gift!

Smarty Pants Product of the Week - Bottle Snuggler

Product
Bottle Snuggler
Smarty Pants Review
The Bottle Snuggler is one of those products that must have sensed my tremendous frustration when my munchkin was bottle feeding!! I will never forget the dreams I would have, anxious for the day when she could hold the bottle herself! If you’re a mommy, especially a baby's mommy, you know what I’m talking about!!!
The Bottle Snuggler is essentially “mommy’s hand!” The bottle easily sits in the BottleBand™, which velcros to the adorable toy (pink bunny in my sample), and then sits on the baby’s belly – positioned so the baby can easily drink her bottle. Now, please understand that this is no substitution for mommy’s presence. A baby must ALWAYS have someone monitoring them as they drink – in case of burping or choking.
This product is available in a variety of colors and animals.
Why is it a Smarty Pants of Product?
Gives mommy a break!! No more cramped wrist from holding the bottle!!

Smarty Pants Product of the Week - Colors, Shapes & Counting DVD by Rock 'N Learn

Product
Colors, Shapes and Counting DVD by Rock ‘N Learn
Smarty Pants Review
What a catchy collection of songs and videos! My daughter LOVES it! As my official 2 1/2 year old product tester, she can attest that she loves “Colors Movie”, referring to the Colors, Shapes and Counting DVD.
I spent many years as an elementary school teacher convincing parents and students that sitting on the couch watching TV was not the ideal way to spend the afternoon. I still wholeheartedly agree, however, in times when necessary (rainy days, quiet times, sick days…) the right programming can make all the difference. I have a number of shows and movies that I STRONGLY believe are of tremendous advantage for children. One of these is Colors, Shapes and Counting DVD. The video, in a very animated fashion, invites the viewer to sing, to learn the colors, shapes and numbers. It’s wonderful!
Why is it a Smarty Pants of Product?
Let’s just say that my munchkin is still singing …. “Red and Yellow mixed together make the color orange!” – a verse in track 11 of the DVD, and running around telling me every shape and color she can find in the house - track 7's "What color is it?"! Can’t argue with that!

Ahhhhhh What a nice movie. The Note II is one of those relaxing, not too intense movies, to enjoy on a rainy Sunday afternoon. It makes a great gift for the mommy who has everything and needs time to relax!

The Note II: Taking a Chance on Love is a sequel created due to the overwhelming popularity of The Note. This story began as a novel written by best-selling author Angela Hunt. It was then made into a Hallmark Channel original moving becoming the #1-rated Hallmark Channel original movie in 2007 and the third most popular movie in history of the network.

Tiny Taste Buds – Fiesta Beans
Smarty Pants Review
Wholesome, nutritious, organic and conventional baby food delivered right to your door – that’s Tiny Taste Buds! Last night I sampled some super tasty Fiesta Beans. The perfect dish for Cinco de Mayo! The Fiesta Beans, as many of their other menu items, is simple. Ingredients include red kidney beans, corn, onions, pepper, & garlic with the added kick of cilantro and lime to provide the Latin zest! The flavors aren’t bold, nor should they be, but are certainly very tasty. Tiny Taste Buds provides a convenient way to afford the absolute best, healthiest meals to your baby, without the time and madness it takes to make it yourself.
Tiny Taste Buds delivers the dish in frozen 1 oz portions. The portions defrost in little time.

One very special way of doing so, is to provide her the opportunity to sit, relax and enjoy a nice book. The Chicken Soup for the Soul Moms & Sons, or Moms & Daughters, is perfect for just that.

Smarty Pants Product of the Week - Fit Mom Post-Natal Workout DVD

UPDATED TO EXTEND CONTEST END DATE TO 4/26!
Product
Fit Mom Post Natal Workout DVD
Smarty Pants Review
I don’t think there is a single mommy out there that didn’t justify every pound gained during pregnancy as, “the baby is growing…” or "oh, it's just water weight..", yet post pregnancy it's still glued to the backside!
Now, as Smart Mamas who may be "post pregnancy", it’s time to stop justifying and get our bodies in gear. Thankfully, Fit Mom, a mom who has been there, done that, has put together exactly what we need! The Post Natal Workout provides cardio and strength training that is meant to be done with your little one. (If the little one is napping, too big and just not in the mood, you can easily adapt the exercises using a pillow or weighted ball.) The exercises are fun, some unique and give you that great “what a great workout” feeling when you’re done.
Why is it a Smarty Pants of Product?
As Smart Mamas, we recognize the importance of exercise. The life of a mama can so easily get swallowed up with laundry, dinner, girl scouts, soccer games and more, that we tend to put our needs last. The Fit Mom Post Natal Workout DVD allows you, as a Smart Mama, to do 2 things at once, #1 spend quality time with your little one, #2 devote time to your health.

Product
Burpie Blocker
Smarty Pants Review
Another shirt stained! How many times have you, or did you, find spit up making itself a home on a nice clean shirt!?!?! You try to remember the burp cloth. You put it on your shoulder, but then life continues. You lean over to get a pot out of the cabinet, the burp cloth falls off. You use a few minutes to quickly mop the bathroom, the burp cloth falls off. You’re making the bad, the burp cloth falls off. You forget and you hold your munchkin and next thing you know your new, or at least clean, shirt is now soiled and typically stained!

In comes the Burpie Blocker! This burp cloth is like no other. It has the superb absorbency of a top quality cloth with the HUGE added feature of a strap. You simply attach the cloth around your neck and the cloth stays over your shoulder as you run around…get out pots and pans, moping the floor or even making the bed. You no longer need to worry if the cloth is still on you when you hear and feel your little one’s latest spit up!

Product
CozyCare Cape
Smarty Pants Review
Wow, it’s like the mommy behind the creation of CozyCare Cape heard my moans and groans! CozyCare Cape puts the need of a soft bath towel with the desire of a mommy being hands free and dry during her munchkin’s bath time! The cape is worn over head with a waterproof liner behind the center area. When it’s time to get the munchkin, baby or bigger, out of the bath, the CozyCare Cape allows you to have your hands out and available, rather than gripping onto the baby’s towel while carefully managing to get him/her out of the slippery tub. The cape even comes with a separate hoodie to pop on your munchkin’s head!

Product
Dance with the Animals DVD by Rock ‘N Learn
Smarty Pants Review
So I have found our Rock ‘N Learn favorite! The Dance with the Animals DVD is my daughter’s absolute FAVORITE DVD! I can’t tell you how often it’s watched in this home! The DVD, typical of most Rock ‘N Learn DVDs, is filled with super basic graphics, catchy songs and great content. The Animals DVD teaches the viewer all about animals at the zoo, home and more! They get to act like the animals…learning to use stick their tongue out like a lizard, or purse their lips like a fish. Too cute! My daughter’s favorite is the animal parade. Each time the animal parade comes on, any and every adult in the house must join her to parade around the family room acting as the animals in the parade. It’s a blast watching her enjoy it so much! I recommend this DVD for ages 0 – 7!
