About Arctic Zero

Arctic Zero makes delicious frozen treats that are simple and clean. They specialize in lactose free ‘ice cream’ that is always GMO-free, low in calories,

Arctic Zero is made with the highest quality whey protein and sweetened with entiozident-rick monk fruit. These frozen desserts are jammed packed with nutrients and are ready to boost your energy, improve muscle tone and help you be a better you. Get a taste of the sweet life without the guilt.

Some people are disciplined and like to measure out their serving sizes. Especially those counting calories. Whether you like to scoop out the serving size you desire, or love to eat straight out of the tub, Arctic Zero has your back! One each container you can clearly see the calories per serving and the calories per tub! I typically will eat until I hit a certain point in the tub (half way, a quarter of the way…). By knowing the full pint’s calorie value I can easily eat out the container and still keep track of my calories. This is one of the best product features I have ever seen in a food related item.

You can now find Arctic Zero at a retailer by you. Click here to search to find the closest location to your home. I was so excited to see Arctic Zero on the shelves of my local WalMart the last time I was in there. Keep your eyes peeled, because you are going to want to try this treat.

What Do They Sell?

  • Chocolate Dipped Bars
  • Creamy Pints
  • Chunky Pints

Arctic Zero’s Attributes

Mama’s Experience

box opening

I have dedicated 2016 to my Simple Green Living series and part of taking on that task is trying new things that are better for me, the environment and future generations. Arctic Zero makes fun, easy to eat treats that don’t pack on the calories that a cream based ice cream can so. By making them lactose free, they cut down on the calories, and possibly your waist line too.

Before trying Arctic Zero, I had never tried a lactose free frozen treat. I am so used to dairy/cream based ice creams, I was not sure what to expect. I would describe Arctic Zero as a cross between an ice cream and a frozen ice. It has qualities of both but would not be classified as either. Its in its own category really.

I tried 5 flavors from their Creamy line. Each a fun flavor you would crave in a treat. I have 2 suggestions for you. First is, wait the 10 suggested minutes before eating your Arctic Zero dessert. This makes it a heck of a lot easier to scoop and enjoy. Second is, wait the 10 suggested minutes before trying to open the lid! If you are greedy and anxious like me, the top can break into two pieces resulting in a non tight seal if you plan on not hammering down the entire container. I’m sure that it’s not going to break every time, but it could, so this is my friendly PSA to follow instructions 😉

A Lil’ Bit Chippy

bit chippy pint a

bit chippy scoop a75 calories per serving / 300 calories per pint

This Chippy treat lives up to its name. Each bite has small bits of dark chocolate chips that satisfy that sweet tooth without over doing it. Some chocolate treats leave you feeling like you may end up needing a filling for a newly developed cavity! With this fun treat, you get your chocolate fix but without the heavy overload of refined sugars. Either way, if you know yourself that you have a sweet tooth and years of sugary treats may have damaged your teeth, it may be wise to look into a Dentist in Newmarket for example, or somewhere local to you. This way you’ll know the state of your oral health and know what other treats you’re able to enjoy, in moderation.

Key Lime Pie

key lime scoop a75 calories per serving / 300 calories per pint

The Key Lime Pie has a very soft lime flavor. I assumed it would have a more bold punch, but instead they took the relaxing mood and gave it only subtle hints of lime. I like deep flavors, so I would have liked this more if the lime was more bold and left that tang in my mouth that you crave in a Key Lime Pie. The pie pieces were nice. They had the flaky texture you want in a crust, which I thought was really cool that they could keep that texture in a frozen treat.

Cool Mint Chip

The mint flavor in this dessert is outstanding! I love the smooth minty flavor. It’s bold, it’s delicate, it’s perfection. Mint chip has never been my go-to flavor choice. I like it okay, but never order it. This is a game changer! I cannot get over how yummy this pint of dessert is! I highly suggest trying Cool Mint Chip, like now!

Cookie Dough Chip

The cookie dough piece in this treat are addictive. After trying it I fully admit to digging through and eating every single piece in the pint that night. They were SO good! They had that amazing cookie dough flavor. Sweet, salty, smooth….oh man I could eat a while pint right now! This was hands down my favorite flavor of Arctic Zero.

Buttery Pecan

buttery pecan pint a

buttery pecan scoop a75 calories per serving / 300 calories per pint

When you lift the lid off a container of Buttery Pecan you can get a yummy whiff of maple! That earthy, natural smell is addictive to me. Each bite has a small chunk of nutty candied pecan that gives you that fun crunchy you want in a butter pecan dessert.

 

Win It!

Now that you can clearly see how yummy these lactose free ice creams are, you have a chance to win a set of 5 for yourself!

About From The Earth Baby

From The Earth Baby is my favorite on-line retailer that specializes in organic baby apparel, gear, and eco-friendly baby products. They make sure to only carry brands which have the highest levels of quality and standards.

Babies should be nurtured with natural products that are nurturing to nature

“Organic baby clothing and apparel, eco-friendly diapers and green, sustainable toys are all baby products that are ultimately not just organic but high quality. These are baby products that have no choice but to be the safest because they are created keeping the environment in mind, which means no harmful substances or chemicals, no rough materials, and nothing toxic is used for their manufacture.” – From The Earth Baby

Being a fellow Christian, owner and founder Cassandra knew that her business was more than a source of income, instead it is her ministry. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord” – Col 3:23 She strives to have the most humble brand a parent can choose to buy from. “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” – James 4:10 With many online retailers selling baby products, I really feel that From The Earth Baby stands out. Their ethics, honesty, loving kindness and sincerity take them to a level of respect I can really support.

From The Earth Baby takes 3% of their monthly sales and donates it to a missionary family that they know. Click here to read more about From The Earth Baby’s global missions.

Mama’s Experience

From the moment I was in contact with From The Earth Baby I knew there was something special about them. Kindness, easy-to-talk-to, fun, joyful…these are some of the thoughts that come to mind when thinking about my experience with From The Earth Baby. Online retailers have become a dime a dozen. They are everywhere. What makes From The Earth Baby so different and why they stand out are: their ethics, their choice of selection (organic and eco-friendly companies) and their global mission. Being a Christian myself, I love supporting another Christian companies.  Knowing that they donate on a monthly bases makes me know that not only am I helping another Christian business, but a Christian family in the mission field as well. “In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” Acts 20:35

When browsing their full selection of products I was instantly impressed with the huge selection of beautiful products. I did not see one product that I would not consider buying. Oftentimes I have wanted to look for an eco-friendly product but not known where to look. I am so excited that I now have a go-to place to search for products. Being a blogger, I am the person who always gets asked the kind of questions like “What is the best organic this” or “where can I buy an eco-friendly that”. I can now confidently send my friends, family and readers to the one place I want to support: FromTheEarthBaby.com

Among the plethora of awesome products that From The Earth Baby carries, one of them is the LILLEbaby Airflow Baby Carrier.

LILLEbaby Airflow Complete Carrier

lillebaby 1

LILLEbaby makes several versions of the soft-structured carriers. The one I will be discussing here is their new, Airflow Complete.

What makes this carrier special is the breathable 3D material, which allows for airflow between baby and the carrier. In the hot summers and during extended wearing periods, you and your baby can get stuffy. By using a carrier like the Airflow Complete you give yourself the ability to feel the gentle breeze flow between the mesh-like material, cooling you down. This allows for maximum airflow and increased comfort.

I love to front wear my children up to age 1.5. Then, at 1.5 years of age, I like to wear them on my back. While both children and I still do front carries for those extra cuddly days, I like to be able to use my arms and have a more broad range of motion, therefore the back carry is best for us. This carrier allows for an easy to wear back carry. I use the ‘superman toss’ to get my child on my back.

lillebaby 2

More about LILLEbaby’s Airflow Carrier:

1. SIX ERGONOMIC CARRYING POSITIONS – Includes every carrying position without the need for an infant insert: Front-fetal, Front-infant, Front-outward, Front-toddler, Hip and Back carry. The COMPLETE grows with your child through all the baby wearing years from 7lbs to 45 lbs. The patented cupped seat adjusts to keep baby ergonomically seated in all six carry positions through every development stage.

2. LUMBAR SUPPORT – Increases comfort, maintains healthy posture and alignment, and prevents lower back strain. Combined with an extra sturdy waist belt to maximize parent’s comfort.

3. TWO WAY-STRAPS NEW! – Enables wearer to carry “backpack style” or with straps crossed on the back. Dual adjustment buckles simplify breastfeeding and adjusting straps on the go.

4. SLEEPING HOOD – Features dual adjustment points to provide tailored support for baby’s head while sleeping, sun protection while exploring, and privacy while nursing. Removable.

5. EXTRA TALL, EXTENDABLE TORSO – So comfortable your baby will fall asleep. Provides extra neck and back support and keeps taller babies secure in the carrier. The adjustable width gently cradles baby’s head. Elastic straps provide support while allowing for movement and easy adjustment.

6. POCKETS NEW! – Large zippered storage pocket, plus easy-reach pocket for storing
hood and essentials.

7. WIDE, PADDED SHOULDER STRAPS & WAIST BELT – Evenly distribute baby’s weight
for maximized comfort.

Ragababe Cloth Diapers Review

Ragababe Cloth Diapers Review

Max in RagaBabe

About Ragababe

Ragababe started their company with simple intentions. To make a diaper that can keep their kids butts happy and healthy, but also to hold more than 2 hours worth of urine. I too understand the 2 hour limit that a ton of cloth diapers seem to have. No, we don’t let our children sit in their filth, but yes, they do like to sleep more than 2 hours at a time occasionally (and thankfully!). They wanted to make a diaper with absorbency and natural materials. By staying close to the Lord (I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken – Psalm 16:18), they were able to achieve great things in His name. They created a strong company, using new materials never used in cloth diapers before, that hold true to the standard they set forward to achieve.

Ragababe is a diaper that sells fast. Being that they are handmade in the US, they can only make so many diapers at a time. In order to keep things fair, they have a system in place to keep things fair. You are limited to how many diapers you may purchase at a time, due to people over buying then reselling at unfair prices.

Click here to see what is (or will soon be) in stock. Stockings happen approx every 2 weeks.

Ragababe has a wonderful laundry/care section. They have tested tons of detergents and quantities and figured out their best ratio and formula. Click here to read all about it.

Mama’s Experience

block ragababe

I was selected to review a diaper by Ragababe. I was thrilled to get to try a very popular diaper that I have never even touched before. This diaper is not only adorable but it’s made with ethical practices and wonderful, high-quality materials. If you have ever read any of my other diaper reviews, you know that my son has skinny legs. Finding a gusset that is tight enough for his tiny legs can be difficult. He is 20 lbs at almost 21 months. Pretty petite guy. This diaper passes the skinny kid test! WOOHOO! He has yet to have an leakage out the leg gussets, or up the front top, which are common in skinny babies.

Max in RagaBabe

Ragababe suggests using Country Save laundry detergent. My husband and I choose not to use heavier chemical based detergents for all of our laundry. Even on our towels and our own clothing. My husband, being a biologist, understands all these things and chemicals which are way over my head. So, as a loving wife, I just take his word and trust him. My husband and I are Republicans, and we joke that we are ‘bad Republicans’ because of out lifestyle choices like using organic, chemical free and natural products and foods. But he knows that these choices are what is best for our family, not every family. I was excited to try Country Time because it is dye-free, scent-free and eco-friendly. 3 qualities we look for in a detergent. We have only used it one time, but it was a nice detergent and we look forward to trying it more and more.

I love everything about RagaBabe: the quality, the absorbency, the design, the fit and how great the wash. This diaper is called a 2-Step diaper because you snap in an insert on the inside. This would be considered a 2-in-1 to those of you who are learning about cloth. What makes this such a high quality diaper is that the inside ‘shell’ is lined with a soft fabric. This soft fabric helps keep ‘everything’ neatly inside, while also being soft against the child’s skin. When you touch and feel it you think comfort, absorbent and durable. The 3 highest qualities you want in a diaper. I know fully understand why these diapers sell out so fast and maintain such a wonderful re-sale value. Do yourself a solid and hop over to RagaBabe’s website and try out one of their diapers. You will not regret it.

Playmation Starter Pack Giveaway

categories: Giveaway

Playmation Giveaway

Playmation is the next step in the evolution of play, where “digital gets physical and imagination becomes real“. This system uses smart technology in their wearables for kids and empowers their imaginations, as they become the hero or heroine of stories from Disney, Marvel and Star Wars. Playmation Marvel’s Avengers is the first in a series of new franchise-based systems in development, which uses familiar technologies including wearables, wireless technology, motion sensors and more, but applies them in ways that are completely new, to create an experience that’s never been possible before. This kind of equipment and technology would be particularly suited to games such as Pokemon Go that my children are also loving (and it gets them out of the house!). Recently I’ve also found this ispoofer pogo application that can improve their Pokemon Go experience which I’m sure they’ll love when they have had their fun with the Playmation kits. The Repulsor Gear connects with the Power Activators and Smart Figures to take you on a variety of adventures through locations around the Marvel Universe. Playmation is purposely not tethered to an Internet connection so players can run around and explore each adventure from anywhere they want – a bedroom, living room or yard. There is also an AvengersNet app where you can register your Avenger Gear to see progress, explore additional locations and characters, and get access to new missions. Playmation Marvel’s Avengers just hit shelves. Star Wars and Disney Frozen systems are currently in development for 2016 and 2017, respectively. Each will use a range of technologies to create a system based on the different ways that kids play and experience their favorite stories and characters from that franchise.

Mama Smith and Women and Their Pretties each received a Playmation Starter Kit to play with. Be sure to read their full reviews here:

Because they loved this kit so much, they just knew they had to team up with some fellow bloggers to bring you guys The Ultimate Playmation Giveaway! One lucky reader will win a Playmation Avengers Starter Pack, a Hulkbuster Hero Smart Figure, a Super Ultron Bot Villian Smart Figure, and some PowerA Playmation Accessories! You can read more about the PowerA Accessories here – the winner will receive accessories based on what the sponsor has in stock when the giveaway ends. You sure to have endless hours of fun with this brand new gaming system – and the kids would be thrilled to find it under the tree.
