Tiny Oranges – Fresh, fun blog for OC moms

When we are out and about, I have to admit the snacks I pack for my kids are not always the freshest or healthiest.  For time and convenience, most of the time the snacks I take along come out of a box. So when I heard about The Sili Squeeze reusable snack squeeze I was interested to give it a try. You can try it too if you win today’s giveaway (enter below!) I also want to share a special Sili Squeeze coupon code “SILITINYORANGES” for 10% off your purchase through 10/31/11.

The Sili Squeeze is a reusable squeeze that lets growing babies snack on purees, yogurt, applesauce, smoothies, etc. while on-the-go! Little ones as young as six months can use The Sili Squeeze and it is “mommy hands free” so your little ones can squeeze themselves silly whether in the stroller, car or shopping cart.

I am the type of gal that is fiercely loyal to my regular make-up brands.  In fact, I have worn the same mascara for the past 15 years.  If it weren’t for receiving a free sample of the new COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara from the nice folks at Procter & Gamble, I can safely say I probably would never have tried it.  But now I am SO glad I did because, by golly, I have found a new favorite mascara!

This new innovative formula takes out some synthetic polymers and replaces them with natural beeswax and a touch of honey.  When I read that on the package, I said, “Hmmm?! Beeswax and honey?!”

Then I tried it. And believe me when I say, this mascara IS SWEET!

It goes on smooth and silky and does NOT CLUMP! It makes your lashes look long, separated and naturally beautiful.

Those of you who follow my blog already know that I hate to cook, but now that I have been practicing more, I am hating it less and less.

One of the things I always disliked about cooking was the fact that I used to find meal planning stressful.  Those of you who cook are probably laughing at me, but a huge part of the stress for me was due to the fact that I was failing to plan ahead.

So when the company Relish! contacted me to tell me about their easy weekly meal planning site, I was intrigued and thought it was something I should probably try.

I signed up and now I am HOOKED! And if my husband met the Relish! founders I am sure he would want to give them a BIG hug!

Here’s why I love it:

1. It has made me plan ahead (but made planning ahead easy.)
2. It has taken the stress out of “what am I going to make for dinner?” because I am planning ahead.
3. It has given me ideas for healthy dinners.  Things I would never have thought to make on my own.
4. It has made grocery shopping for the week a breeze.

Here is how it works:

It is an online subscription – a cheap one I might add!  Relish! has actually given me the “Redeem a Voucher” code of “Tiny-O“ which gives you 14 days to try it out for free to see if you like it!

To sign up for free, click here, then click “Redeem a Voucher” in the very top left portion of the screen.  Enter your email address and a password, and then you can log in and browse the recipes and meal plans for 14 days.
