Ideas for Green Halloween Costumes – A Guest Post by Jackie Ryan

Ghosts and ghouls, it’s October. Which means it’s time to get a costume together for your child (and yourself!). First things first, in looking to make an eco-friendly costume, give yourself time. Don’t leave the costume to the last minute. In fact, if you haven’t started creating a costume yet, you should probably do so.

Eco-friendly costumes have a good deal of sweat equity – be it in construction or searching for items, or even knitting, crocheting and sewing. They take work! But they’re all quite worth it, I can guarantee that.

 
Vidazorb Probiotics Giveaway!

It is no secret I am a huge probiotic fan.

If you are unfamiliar with probiotics, they are beneficial microorganisms found in certain foods, like yogurts. Probiotics not only give our immune system a boost, they also give our digestive tract some help developing healthy flora. Healthy flora promotes better digestion, as well as less gas and bloating. Bonus!

 

It’s a rainy Friday afternoon here in Boston. All you parents are about to get your Friday evening on, right? Some good take out, pizza for the kids, a bottle of wine? My kids are listening to music and dancing so hard upstairs I think they are going to put holes in the ceiling. If you know me, you know I love good music, like most everybody else. I think my tastes have certainly rubbed off on the kids.

 
MightyNest $25 Gift Card Giveaway

(This giveaway is officially closed)

Hey, have you checked out MightyNest? They offer safe, non-toxic products for the whole family. The whole gamut for the family & the household.

I love their glass water bottles and stainless steel lunch containers. I’m a sucker for stainless steel.

Just check out their site and comment here about what you would buy if you won a $25 gift card. I will choose a winner with a random number organizer.

This giveaway is open only to residents of the USA.

Follow them on Twitter or like ‘em on Facebook, too!

(Just so you know, I was offered a choice of products to try out and review, but opted instead to turn it around into a $25 gift card for a reader. I have plenty of good reusable items and I would rather someone out there get a chance to try out something new & eco-friendly!)

This giveaway ends on Sunday, September 11 at 11:59 pm EST.

 

Extreme couponing, now that looks appealing. Cutting coupons and carefully planning your grocery shopping to get the most for your food dollar. Buying in large amounts to ‘save’.

Have you watched these shows about extreme couponers? People that spend extraordinary amounts of time, energy and effort seeking out coupons (some people have resorted to stealing newspapers or digging through trash for coupons!), organizing &  planning their grocery store excursions. They leave the stores having saved a ton of money, yet they walk away with a jaw-dropping amount of products. Food, health & beauty products, toilet paper, diapers. One cart, two carts, three. All that stuff.
