Moms Blog Will Be Moving Soon To A New URL

I recently got an email that stressed me out ALL day today. I started this blog in 2004 with Blogger using their FTP service. The email that I got stated that they will be discontinuing their FTP service which I rely on to publish this blog to my website.

Okay, so I thought that I would be able to just import over to Wordpress. I am one that is usually NOT LUCKY and this time that was true. See Blogger/Google wants everyone to convert their blogs to their Custom Domains which means my blog is hosted on their servers. I thought about taking this route but then seen my HUGE problem. When I set this blog up, I never put the blog in its own directory. If I convert to Wordpress and don't put a directory its going to install to the home page of my website which I can't have.

I am very PISSED off at Blogger. For one they should have gave us bloggers a notice a little longer than they did. I am also going to lose ALL my subscribers as Wordpress creates a different feed address then the one that I have been using the last 5 1/2 years. My feed is the #2 file viewed on my site. Can you feel my pain?

So here is my plan. I have created a Wordpress blog at: http://www.mommyenterprises.com/moms-blog

I have been wanting this blog on the Wordpress platform anyhow. I am hoping that my viewers that read my blog through a feed reader will add the feed to my new blog.

Well I am off for now to work on my new design!

Peeled Snacks Review

Are you one that eats your daily servings of fruits and vegetables? I admit I don't. I try to add vegetables to my dinner every night but eating fruit every single day multiple times can be a little challenging. Eating apples, oranges and bananas can get a boring after a while.

I recently received some from yummy snacks from Peeled Snacks. I have always been a fan of dried fruit, depending on what it taste like. I have bought dried fruit in the past and it has been so dry that it wasn't very appetizing Peeled Snacks is WAY different. Peeled Snacks offers dried fruit that doesn't taste like its had all its flavor dried out of it. I tried a variety of their products and all were delicious, soft ,chewy and VERY tasty. I got to try their Banana-a-peel, Apple-2-the-core, Apricot-a-lot, Cherry-go-round, much-ado-about-Mango and pine-4-Pineapple. I really enjoyed them all but the Cherries and the Pineapple were my favorite. It was the first time I had ever tried dried pineapples and boy were they yummy.

What  makes Peeled Snacks even more appealing to me is the fact they use Organic fruit and nothing is added. They use high quality organic and natural ingredients that gives very fresh pieces of dried fruit. These snacks offer a natural source of vitamins, minerals and also a full serving of fruit. I better stock up on these!

Peeled Snacks also offers fruit and nut varieties, corporate gifts, gift cards, snack tins and more! You can find out more about Peeled Snacks by visiting: http://www.peeledsnacks.com or you on Twitter and Facebook.

Flings Bins Review And Giveaway

I have to admit that I am really bad at recycling. We have three different garbage cans for our garbage service. I rarely put out the blue recycling garbage can on garbage day because my family doesn't ever seen to put anything in it. The main reason for this is inconvenience. My kitchen is definitely too small for two garbage cans so with that said, all garbage usually goes into the one main garbage can.

My family recently received some Fling Bins to review. These are pop-up trash and recycling containers. They come flat and when you open them up, you have a sturdy garbage bin to throw away your trash and recyclables.  The Fling Bin pictured is their Recycle Bin. This has really made recycling easy at my house for me. I didn't want to keep this in my kitchen, so I have it placed outside my back door. Whenever I see something that can be recycled, I try to throw it in the Fling Bin. The Recycle Bin makes recycling a snap! Each recycle bin holds 60 cans or bottles. What I plan on doing is dumping the bin into my blue recycle garbage can once I reach its capacity and reuse.

Check out this video:

The Flings Bins come in a few different styles too! They have bins decorated for birthday, celebration, bbq/picnic and of course the recycling bin I just was bragging about.The trash containers are decorative and your guests cannot help but notice them. You might even have less of a mess to pickup if you have these out for your guests to use. These handy trash bins are available in packs of four. You can either choose 4 of one design or choose on of their party packs.

Guess What? Fling Bins is offering one of my lucky readers a chance to win their Tailgate/BBQ Party Pack. This includes 2 of their BBQ/Picnic bins and 2 of their Recycling Bins.

Snooze City Designs Review And Giveaway

Sleep is good. There is also something real nice about laying your head on a soft comfortable pillow covered with a nice fancy pillowcase. Here is where Snooze City Designs comes into action....

I recently was given the opportunity to review a set of pillow cases from Snooze City Designs. When looking at the different styles available, it is honestly hard choosing just one. My daughter seen me browsing the Snooze City Designs website and wanted me to order a set for her. You can browse all the different pillowcases by Collections. Each collection has a variety of different designs that you are able to choose from. When choosing a set, I had to think about what my husband would like and also what would I like. Now there are a few that I liked that I knew he would not go for and vice versa. We went ahead and choose the Vegas design from the Tokidoki collection.

I really  like this design. It goes more with the theme of my bedroom if anything else. The same day that I put them on our pillows on our bed, I had a friend compliment them. These pillow cases are nice and thick! They are also large to fit the bigger size standard pillows out there. I have had some of those bigger feather down pillows that have a hard time fitting in a standard case. These are perfect! My husband has claimed the pillowcase on the left, go figure!

Now if you don't like the Vegas design, you are sure to find one that you do like on their site. Below is the design that my daughter Ariyona wants:

Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt Review And Safeway $50 Giveaway

For the last few months I have been trying to eat a more healthy diet. This included cutting back on eating out at fast food restaurants. I have been clipping coupons and saving money by preparing budget friendly meals for my family.

One thing that I try to eat often that is affordable is yogurt. I have heard the benefits of yogurt so I have let it be one of those foods that are kind of guilt free for me. Have you heard of the new Fiber One Yogurts? Is is the only leading nonfat yogurt with only 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber. Don't forget it is also a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D. Again, I think this should be a guilt-free treat for many of us. Even best-selling author and food expert Lisa Lillien, Aka Hungry Girl has given the new Fiber One Yogurt her "seal of approval".

What I like about the yogurt is the variety. My all time favorite is the Key Lime Pie. Oh, so good! This yogurt is nice and creamy, just how I like it. Now through February 9th, the Safeway family of stores has a special deal where you can purchase two 4-packs of Fiber One yogurt for only $4! You should also take a peek at the other sales that Safeway is currently having. I seen the ad for my local Safeway today and will be taking a shopping trip there tomorrow.

Guess What? Thanks to My Blog Spark, I am able to offer one of my lucky readers a gift card to Safeway family of stores for $50.00. Now you could stock up on a ton of yogurt with that but of course you can purchase whatever you like with it!

How To Win! - Please leave individual comments for each of the following below. Be sure to also leave your email address so I can contact you if you are the winner. Remember to follow the first rule or all the others will not count.

1)  Tell me what flavor of Fiber One Yogurt you would like to try or have already tried.

Nipple Seal Review

If you have a child that packs around a bottle, you probably have experienced leaky bottles. I know that many bottles come with a top, but I always seem to lose them.  A solution that I have found is the Nipple Seal. This handy bottle accessory was created by a mother and a father who spent months looking for the perfect "bottle" products. The Nipple Seal has been designed to keep diaper bags, purses, furniture, strollers and carpets from getting soaked with fluids that drip from the bottles. I would have to say this is great for the car too! If you were to get in my SUV a few months ago, you would definitely know which side my son sat on. I have had many times that the diaper bag has tipped and caused a leaky bottle. The Nipple Seal will help if this should occur.

The Nipple Seal comes in a variety of colors too! There are currently 13 different strap colors you can choose from. I have the Brown With Polka Dots. I will definitely pass this on to a friend or family member when I am done with it because it has came in handy. Might make a great baby shower gift too! I know I like giving "unique baby shower gifts".

You can purchase the Nipple Seal by visiting: http://www.nippleseal.com

Until Next Time

Girls Night Cosmetics Review And Giveaway

One thing that this Diva here loves is cosmetics and bath and body supplies. I can't ever have enough products that make me feel good and even smell good when I use them. You would understand my love for these types of products if you just happened to see my bathroom just once. I got shelves of it. I also have three daughters so lets say it my stuff gets used.

Last week I received a package from Girls Night Cosmetics. This is a brand NEW company that recently just launched that has a goal to bring mothers and daughters together with a cute product line that is geared towards the tween age group. They have a focus of bringing mothers and daughters together through fun parties and of course the cute and fun product line.

I received some of their cute little bottles of their Girls Night Nail Polish. Don't you know that I had to put some on my toes right after taking them out of the package. The polish seems to be lasting long too without chipping. That is a PLUS! The colors of the nail polish are very pretty. I think my daughter Ariyona might want to claim them though!

The Girls Night Cosmetics have more than these cute little bottles of nail polish. They have bath beads, bath salts, bath fizz powder, bath tints, bath confetti, bath bombs, lip balm, soap, body balms, lotion bar & more. All of the products are not on the website yet, but they look amazing in the catalog. I am sure my daughter is going to be hinting for things she wants when she gets her hand on the catalog.

If you are looking for a way to make money at home, they offer a representative program. I am not sure on the details, but you can visit the site to find out more information.

Guess What? Girls Night Cosmetics is offering one of my LUCKY readers the chance to WIN a 7 pack of these cute nail polishes. This would make a great gift too!

How To Win! - Please leave individual comments for each of the following below. Be sure to also leave your email address so I can contact you if you are the winner. Remember to follow the first rule or all the others will not count.
