I’m giving away a Seasoned To Go Portable Seasoning Kit!
Ava Anderson is the premier provider for non-toxic & safe personal and home products. Founder Ava Anderson, at the spry age of 14, noticed that the market is flooded with “organic”, “natural”, “safe” and “pure”, yet there were almost always toxic ingredients included as well. “Ava had become truly disturbed at how consumers were unaware of the risks of common brands and how those who thought they were making safe choices often did not know what was really in the products they were purchasing. After months of research, Ava realized that she needed to create her own products. Through a family friend, she located a manufacturer with research facilities that could develop and produce products to her standards. It was a great challenge to develop these revolutionary formulas, but with her vision and persistence she succeeded.” – Ava’s Story.
There are tons of hidden toxic ingredients in the products we use. To see a comprehensive list of these chemicals click here.

What a list?! I am so impressed with such a well rounded product line.
Ava Sunscreen 30+ SPF 2.9 oz
Broad spectrum UVA/UVB coverage for any age, with organic beneficial essential oils and ingredients. Water resistant. Best safe sunscreen on the market
My order included a fun little extra fact sheet that I just love. It tells you how to store, apply and use the product. They even include a quote from the Centers For Disease Control, “Sunscreen is not meant to allow children to spend more time in the sun than they would otherwise. Combine sunscreen with other options to prevent UV damage. Sunscreen reduces damage from UV radiation, it doesn’t eliminate it.”
The sun screens do not contain extra perfumes, so the smell is really refreshing as the natural scent of the product. I know that I won’t get a headache when re-applying it on my children all day. It goes on smooth and wants to absorb into your skin, it doesn’t just move around on the top layer of skin like some other brands of lotion do.
So please do yourself a favor and tryout a few of Ava Anderson’s products. You will not regret it.
Door to Door Organics delivers a box brimming with farm-fresh organic produce & curated natural, local groceries to your door every week. Say goodbye to parking-lot angst, checkout-line waits & junk-food siren calls. Delivery day will soon become your family’s favorite day of the week.
Door to Door Organics is a fresh, fun company that expanded into Ohio in May of 2015. Door to Door Organics teams up with local farmers to provide that area with fresh, organic produce and other organic groceries straight to your door. According to a new study, “despite good intentions, majority of consumers (88%) struggle to eat healthy due to busy schedules and misperception about healthy cooking…nearly half of respondents (48%) claimed their day was either “very busy” or “extremely busy”…they had on average only 82 minutes of of free time every day…”. We know how important healthy eating, exercising and getting enough sleep is. We have heard it a million times. Now we can do something about it…well…at least the healthy eating part!
Concept
Door to Door Organics is a service which allows the consumer to shop online for all their grocery needs. What makes Door to Door different from other online grocery services it that they buy their produce and other select items from your local state’s farmers. You can get all that yummy, local, high quality, organic produce sent right to your home. No need to find time to drive to your farmers market between swimming lessons and dance class. No need to take your kids out of their car seats only to keep them from grabbing the berries off display, then strap them back in their car seat 7 minutes later. You can support your local farmers, eat fresh and organic, without stressing yourself out and wasting your precious family time.
Door to Door Organics only offers Good Food. What this means is they only offer, “food that’s good for your health, our community, and the planet, and food that most definitely makes your family’s bellies happy!” Their top Good Food labels are: organic, made with organic ingredients, non-GMO, & local.
The produce boxes come in 4 different sizes so that you get just the right amount of food. Whether you are buying for 1 person or a family of vegetarians, Door to Door Organics has a box for you. You can add on to your produce box from their huge variety of groceries. They offer everything from baked goods, canned goods, rice and pasta, proteins, cheeses, coffee, tea, cereals, soft drinks, spices, even frozen organic dinners!

Mama’s 1st Delivery
For my first delivery I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I wanted to see how they package my items varying from produce to proteins to non perishables.
Here is what I ordered:
a Medium Mixed box
Alaskan wild-caught salmon
Organic grass-fed New York strip steak
Organic grass-fed flank steak
Organic feta crumbles
Organic Justin’s peanut butter cups
Organic pineapple
Organic blueberries
Organic strawberries
Organic green onions
My delivery came in 2 boxes. The first box contained all of my proteins. The meat was sealed tightly for my safety and was fully frozen. The produce and non perishable candy was in the second box. They both contained a perfect amount of insulation. With paper, dry ice and air padding, nothing was damaged or bruised. My shipment was later on the route and I received it around 5 pm. My meat was showing no signs of being thawed. I am highly impressed.

“Make individual portions of ice cream, custard, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet, or sherbet in as little as 10 minutes with the Zoku Ice Cream Maker! Whether you prefer classic flavors like vanilla bean, mint chocolate chip, fresh strawberry, or dark fudge, or you like to create your own flavors, fresh ice cream can now be a spur-of-the-moment decision. Top your creation with fruit, candy pieces, nuts, or brownie chunks, and for a classic flourish, add a bright red cherry on top.”
Instructions:
1. Freeze inner bowl for 12+ hours
2. Pour in 5 fl. oz. of chilled ice cream mix
3. Stir, scrape, and add toppings once the ice cream begins to form
4. Use silicone edge of bowl to clean spoon while making ice cream
5. For hard ice cream put unit back in freezer for 10-20 additional minutes after soft serve has formed
This ice cream maker is extremely versatile. You have to ability to know each ingredient you put into your ice cream. No need to worry about odd fillers and preservatives. I like knowing what I am putting in my families bellies. With Zoku, I can rest assured knowing they are being filled with yummy goodness without all the GMO’s and unpronounceable words in some of those name brand ice creams at the grocer.
The only downside to this product is its size. While a single serving is great for a quick yummy treat, when you have a family of 4 it doesn’t make enough for the while family to enjoy. I would like to see them come out with a larger version so that you can ensure that the whole family gets to experience the joy of home made instant ice cream.
How to make Strawberry Ice Cream in a Zoku Ice Cream Maker
I let mine sit in the freezer for 5 minutes. Took it out and scraped the frozen parts away from the sides. This allows the center mixture to now touch the cup and begin to freeze. Placed back into freezer for 5 more minutes. Then did the side scrapping again. I ate dinner and when I went back it was the exact thickness I prefer. You can let it sit longer for harder ice cream and eat sooner for more creamy ice cream.

Light n’ Music Fun Ball
Lights N Music Fun Ball features four colorful friendly faces that light up together as music plays. Lights and short clips of music are activated by shaking, tapping, or rolling the ball. Light and easy -to-grasp, perct for small hands. includes on/off button for silent plat.
play encourages crawling, head lifting, improves motor skills , and sensory development.
When my 2 year old saw this Ball, still in the packaging, sitting on my dining room table she instantly said, “Mom! Can I have that ball?!” The plush ball instantly calls out to children due to its simple yet stimulating design. The colors are bright but not overwhelming. My 2 children both cannot get enough of this ball. There are 4 faces on the ball featuring only eyes. These are the 4 areas which light up when activated. They reflect the color of the face being yellow, orange, blue or red. My 1 year old loves these faces and has on several occasions tried to feed them his Cheerios.
My favorite feature of this ball is how the battery pack is safely and securely stored in the toy. The pack is tucked into a Velcro pocket, like every other plush electronic toy…HOWEVER, Yookidoo went the extra mile and created a tucked loop with a plastic ring to secure the box safely inside. This makes it much more difficult for our little engineers (my son) to get that battery pack out. If you have a crafty child who figures out how to get the batteries out of every toy (and scare the say lights out of you) then this is the perfect toy for your family.
