Post-it Notes From The Heart Valentine's Day Review


 How are you going to tell your special someone that you love then this year?

This Valentine’s Day, the Post-it Brand is introducing a NEW note dispenser designed to deliver “notes from the heart.”  The festive NEW Heart-Shaped Post-it Pop-up Note Dispenser makes it easy to keep love notes that “stick” available at your finger tips with its simple one-hand note dispensing feature.

It seems that most people have difficulty creating a heartfelt idea to impress their significant other or finding a unique gift that will make a memory.    So why not consider keeping it simple and meaningful with a handwritten note (or 50!) from the heart for your special someone (boyfriend, wife, daughter, etc.)?  The Heart-Shaped Post-it Pop-up Note Dispenser also makes fun Valentine’s Day décor for your home or office and it can also be a great take-home party favor.

Did you know that , February is Heart Health Awareness month?  What better way to spread the word than by leaving heart-healthy tips and reminders for yourself and your loved ones on notes from the heart?

A few things I have noticed about the heart dispenser is that since it is weighted you can easily grab a note without the heart slipping away from you.  The grippers on the bottom will also save your furniture from scratches, something I am always worried about.

The dispenser's come with 50 notes.   I could not use that many in one weekend but I still wanted to try to reload my dispenser and it is very easy to refill, leaving you no reason not to send love notes all year long!

Thank you to LaForce for my sample used for this review, my opinions on this item are honest.

Pay It Forward With Love Crunch Review & Giveaway


Nature's Path Organic Foods has joined forces with the Whole Planet Foundation (World Market's not for profit organization) to spread a bit of love this Valentine's season! Nature's Path launched their limited edition granola, Love Crunch, and is donating $1 of each box sold (up to $25,000) to the Whole Planet Foundation, which empowers poor women around the world to lift themselves & their family out of poverty!

Love Crunch, is a love story in itself! Arjan Stephens (son of Nature's Path's founder) and his wife, Rimjhim created Love Crunch and gave it as a favor at their wedding! Plus, instead of gifts, they asked that guests "pay it forward" by volunteering in their own communities & post pictures on "The Experience Giving Project" project page--they had participants from around the world. Now they are spreading even more Love around the world!

Love Crunch is a delicious combination of Flax Granola, Dark Chocolate Chunks, Strawberries, raspberries and coconut. It is certified organic and is all natural. It is absolutely wonderful in my humble opinion! I personally wish it wasn't a limited addition item, but I love that they are supporting our world with it. 

Love Crunch is exclusively sold at Whole Foods Market nationwide--I will definitely be picking up some Love Crunch on my next trip to our Whole Foods Market! YUM!

Fraboom.com Online Children's Museum Review & Giveaway


I have had the pleasure of reviewing the Fraboom.com Online Children's Museum.  Fraboom is the world's first, LIVE interactive online childern's museum.  Children may attend real-time classes featuring LIVE teachers, play games, watch cartoon, and participate in a variety of interactive activities designed to entertain and teach.

Some of the games and classes were a bit old for my almost 4 year old, but with my help he was able to follow along and did enjoy moving around on the site.  He especially enjoyed the interactive reading section. 

The Beeline Game was a bit like Frogger.  This game brought back fond memories from when I was young.  My child enjoyed directing the bee and avoiding the obstacles.  An example of a game that is harder and more for older children would be Wooden Teeth & Jelly Beans.  This one you have to match up facts with which President it pertains to.  Example:  Which President's favorite Food is Jelly Beans.  This game took some guessing on my part, but it was fun and challenging.

The Fraboom TV section has entertaining cartoons that also give good lessons on a variety of subjects.  One example is a video that describes what a Comet is.  We enjoyed watching the the video's and how the subjects were presented. 

There is the Free Section of Fraboom and also a Gold Member section.  As a Gold Members, which is $5.99 a month, your entire family will gain access to an exciting world full of amazing educational experiences. While you don't have to pay to enjoy Fraboom, with the membership you can get unlimited access to ALL of Fraboom's content and all the specialized functionality. We enjoyed the Gold Memberships wider variety of Live classes and access to more areas.  This only added to what was already a large selection in the free section.

Fraboom has some very educational yet fun option for children, school aged to adult. It is well worth taking a peek at and playing a bit. It just may be the perfect website for education while entertaining you & your child.

Fraboom would like to give 5 My Springfield Mommy reader's a membership. 

Giveaway will end at 8pm on Sunday, February 27th
