ECO MOM sent me their Plum Organics Sampler and Revolution Food Sampler to try with Caleb and Aaron.   Caleb Loved the Plum Organics and the flavors are something you would never find in a traditional grocery store. We tried Organic Spinach, Peas & Pears, Organic Sweet Potato, Corn & Apple, and Organic Pumpkin Banana. I say we because I try everything before my kids eat it; no not a spoon full but a taste. I think the Pumpkin Banana was my favorite but to be honest all were yummy. Caleb enjoyed the flavor of each of them; which is a feat since he is not a fan of baby food. I loved how they were not in a jar or plastic box. They were easy to transport to my in-laws house and great for on the go. I also loved how it was just squeeze what I needed into a bowl and feed him. No more worrying about having a clean spoon to dish out what I need so there is no contamination. Oh look at this neat product... a spoon that clips right onto the Baby Plum food; we may have to invest in this for further feedings!
Revolution Foods was founded on the belief that all children deserve access to healthy, wholesome
foods, especially where they need it most - in their schools. Our organic lunchbox snacks make it easy to nourish your kids with yummy balanced nutrition. We like to think of it as Lunchbox Simplicity. Simple for parents to pack, simple for kids to eat and a simple way to maintain a healthy diet at school or at home. And when you purchase our products, 3% of sales gets donated to our School Lunch Program to help provide fresh meals to kids in under-served schools. So join our lunchbox revolution
and make every bite matter
 So Aaron got to try Revolution Food Sampler pack.  We tried Organic Honey Graham & Strawberry Bar,  Strawberry Jam & Peanut Butter Bars, 1 Organic Grape, 1 Organic Mixed Berry, 1 Organic Tropical, and 1 Strawberry-Banana Mash-Ups. Aaron Loved the Honey Graham Strawberry Bar but was not thrilled with the Jam & Peanut Butter Bar. The mash-ups were very easy to use and worked great as a no mess on the go snack. Aaron was a little thrown off by the texture and surprise of the taste but after a little bit of coaxing her tried again and loved them. Caleb also loved this and it was nice to know the boys we snacking on something good for them. I love being able to have snacks on hand that are not a hassle and mess to give the boys and yet do not slow down our busy life!

Thrifty Thursday: Buying Books The Smart Way


We all know how expensive books can be... especially text books. A great alternative is used book stores which sell books at a lower bargain price. I miss living in Tucson and having tons of used book stores at my discretion. What's bad about a used book store is that they are often crowded and not the most organized place to shop in. Also there is no way of telling when something they don't have will come in and then that you will even know that it came in. How neat would it be to have a brain somewhere that knew to alert you when your books on your list became available? Your wish is my command:


What BRAIN does is it allows you to create a book wishlist of sorts that automatically notifies you when a book in matching your title, author, ISBN, or keyword search. You can set preferences such as the minimum book condition, how often & when to get alerted, maximum number of books to include in each alert & more.This service offered by McKenzie Books is so easy to use and makes finding the book you need easy and affordable. McKenzie Books is an online used book buyer and seller (they do sell some new).

McKenzie Books has a GREAT clearance section on their site. They update it daily and prices start at just $1.99; that is a great deal on books! I spent $25.00 and this is what I got out of their clearance section. Also please note if you spend $25.00 or more you get free media shipping. (I received my books in less than a week from when I placed my order) I got Eragon, Eldest (book two of Eragon), The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, My Sister's Keeper, A Walk to Remember, Signed in Blood, The Best Life Cook Book, and My Bible Stories.


I was so pleased when I received my books. They were described PERFECTLY and so I knew what I was getting. Eragon is missing the dust cover but I knew that when I placed my order! No Surprises... how much better can it get. The Best Life CookBook is in BRAND NEW condition and I only paid $1.99 for it! 


McKenzie Books is not only a great place to buy books for cheap but you can sell them your old books as well. Learn more about this on their site! 

The Results Are In:

    * McKenzie Books saves TIME~ The Brain does all the work on finding and alerting you to the books you need!
    *
McKenzie Books saves MONEY~ There Clearance Section can not be beat and you can sell old books to them as well!
    *
McKenzie Books saves SANITY~ NO more driving all over town to find the book you are looking for!


I received no form of monetary compensation for this post. I did receive a $25 gift card to order books in order to write a fair and honest review. For more information on reviews please see my disclosure policy.
