Mohawk Valley Trading Company, Grade A, Dark, Robust Maple Syrup Review and Giveaway!!!

Do you like great Maple Syrup?  If you do, Mohawk Valley Trading Company has a Grade A, Dark, Robust Maple Syrup that is absolutely delicious.  It has a great rich flavor with just the right amount of sweet to pour on French Toast, waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt or whatever you like to pour it on!

The syrup comes in glass bottles and is made primarily from sugar maple sap, which is preferred for maple syrup production because it has an average sugar content of two percent. Sap from other maple species is usually lower in sugar content, and about twice as much is needed to produce the same amount of finished syrup.

We tried this syrup and my husband and I immediately agreed it had to be the best maple syrup we had ever tasted. We look forward to weekend breakfasts even more since we have this syrup to compliment our waffles, pancakes or french toast.

The Mohawk Valley Trading Company offers the highest quality unprocessed natural products we can produce namely; Maple Syrup, Maple Sugar, Honey, Raw Honey, Beeswax, Beeswax Candles, Handmade Soap and Natural Skin Care Products.  Their warehouse is located in Utica, NY.  They only sell their products online.  If you would like to order or need more information, you can email them at info@tenonanatche.com.

ReusaWool Dryer Balls From The Willow Store, Review & Giveaway!!!

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. willowstore_logo

I do not like to use chemicals in my home and so I’m happy to do a review for ReusaWool Dryer Balls.  I do use a dryer sheet that is not filled with toxic chemicals but I know many people still use those nasty, toxic dryer sheets.  If you are, please stop!  There is no need to expose your family to that toxic brew anymore and there are alternatives that don’t use those chemicals.

Dryer Balls

One of the options are ReusaWool Dryer Balls.  The natural wool felted balls actually reduce drying time while they soften your laundry naturally and without chemicals.  Reusa balls are mad in the USA by hand and they can be used with all types of laundry, just toss 2-3 balls in with your wet clothes and dry.  After that load just leave them in the dryer and reuse for each load.

Wool_Dryer_Ball_Colors

wool ball

ReusaWool Dryer Balls will not harm your clothes and the colors are natural and safe for any color clothing.  The dye used on the balls is fiber reactive and will not bleed or run onto your laundry.  The balls last for years and can save you money since you would use them in place of dryer sheets.  I would say if you do large loads like I do you might want to up the dryer balls to 5-6 and I have read you can add a few drops of an essential oil like lavender if you like that smell or any other to scent your clothes naturally.

Margery Williams’ “The Velveteen Rabbit”, Deluxe Gift Edition Review & Giveaway!!!

Random_House_logo

A few weeks ago the little ones and I began to add Spring and Easter bedtime story books to our routine.  Experiencing an Arctic blast here in the Northeast, I found it very promising to read stories about springtime.  Many of the stories were about bunnies, ducks and the rebirth experienced each spring.

Along the bunny theme we recently were sent the beautiful Deluxe Gift Edition of The Velveteen Rabbit.  The first time we read it, my little guys were all ears (no pun intended). They wanted to know why all the boys things needed to be burned because of germs, and wondered why they couldn’t just wash them.  They were very glad to know the Velveteen Rabbit was not burned and was made real because he had been so special to the boy.  This is a delightful story to share with your children or to give as a gift.  Would make a beautiful addition to put in an Easter basket!

The Velveteen Rabit Gift Edition Random House

 

A deluxe gift edition of one of the most beloved children’s stories. With illustrations remastered from a 1922 first edition and a beautiful cloth binding with gold accents, this lovingly reconstructed classic is the ideal collectible gift for baby showers, birthdays, and holidays throughout the year. Includes a book plate for personalizing your gift.

At first a brand-new toy, now a threadbare and discarded nursery relic, the velveteen rabbit is saved from peril by a magic fairy who whisks him away to the idyllic world of Rabbitland. There, he becomes “Real,” a cherished childhood companion who will be loved for eternity. Treasured for generations, here is a timeless tale about the magic of boundless love, newly available with the luminous color of the original edition.

The Velveteen Rabbit Inside of Book

Excerpt From The Book:

“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.  “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”

“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse.  “It’s a thing that happens to you.  When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”

“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful.  “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”

“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”

“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse.  “You become.  It takes a long time.  That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.  Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.  But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

BrightSpring Silicone Baking Mat Review & Giveaway!!!

BrightSpring Logo

I love baking, so I was thrilled to review BrightSpring Silicone Baking Mats.  These flexible, silicone baking mats let you bake without greasing your cookie sheets with butter or oil.  They also help your cookies and other baked goods to cook evenly without burning.  Best of all, you will be able to get your baked goods off the mat when baked with ease because the silicone is non-stick.  After you are finished the mats clean right up with soap and water until the next time.  You can also use them to knead or roll dough without anything getting stuck.  I was sent 2 mats for review and want to get a third for that purpose.  No better time too because they are having a 1/2 price January Sale!!!  The mats are available on Amazon.com.

Silicone-Baking-Mat-For-Kneading

  • HALF-PRICE JANUARY SALE!
  • Completely non-stick silicone baking mat
  • Even heat distribution giving you a perfect bake every time
  • Multi-purpose: you can use it for kneading, freezing, microwaving and baking
  • Safe for temperatures from -40°F to 480°F (-40°C to 248°C)
  • Food grade silicone, FDA approved
  • Easy clean so no more scrubbing burnt-on grease for you!

Baked-Apples-Prep-1

 

The BrightSpring Silicone Baking Mat is a silicone coated, fiberglass mat that does the job parchment paper and grease are supposed to do but with perfect results EVERY TIME!  Using that mat will save you money and is a very green move in the kitchen since you will cut down on your use of parchment paper.  Using the mat can cut down on calories as well which is healthier, especially if you are trying to eat healthier.

I made some sugar cookies to test the mats out and they worked great!  The cookies cooked evenly and were easy to remove when baked.  Even though I decorated on the sheet before putting them in the oven and there was some spilling of the decorating sugars and nonpareils  onto the mat, the cleanup was a breeze with soap and water.
