Review & Giveaway: Phix Natural Energy Aid Drink

I was recently given the opportunity to review and sample Phix Natural Energy Aid Drinks. I for one am not a fan of energy drinks, but then I learned Phix was made with all organic and natural ingredients.

Whenever, I felt the need of a quick energy pick me up I had a few packets of Phix stored in my office desk. It’s very easy to use; just pour the powdered mix that’s already premeasured for a 12 oz to 16 oz serving of water. Be sure to stir it for a bit longer than normal because I ended up with quite a bit of sediment on the bottom of my cup that time. Which is not very tasty. The Phix Natural Energy Aid Drinks come in wonderful blend of citron, tropic, and teaberry flavors. It had a really nice sweet flavor to it. I found it gave me a bit of energy throughout the day and I did not suffer with a hard crash afterward.

Phix is not only organic and natural, it’s also gluten-free and vegan. Phix is made with chromium which helps balance out the high and low sugar levels. Not to mention the benefits of Vitamin C.



Personally, I liked the pick me up it gave me. Thanks, Phix, I really enjoyed your product!If you’re looking for an energy drink that is natural and has vitamins in it as well, you may want to try it out and get your Phix.

You can order Phix Energy on their website. You can also connect with Phix Energy on Facebook and Twitter.

Win it: I have a 1 month subscription to PHIX which includes 3 boxes of your choice of PHIX ENERGY and a coupon for 25% off a future purchase to giveaway to one of my readers!

Book Review: Carla Anne Coroy’s Married Mom, Solo Parent

About the book:

For married women who feel like single parents.

Bookstore shelves are full of parenting resources for moms who are newly divorced or widowed. But where do moms turn if they feel like a single parent--but they’re not? Whether he is away on business, deployed in the military, or obsessing over a computer game, dad may not be available for a variety of reasons. Moms who parent in this situation still need help and don’t necessarily relate to the advice given in divorce recovery or single parenting resources.

Married Mom, Solo Parent is a common-sense, down-to-earth look at the struggles wives and mothers face when their husband is not actively involved in family life. Writing from her own experience as a married single mom, Carla Anne Coroy will help wives and mothers sort through their questions, such as: Can I do this alone? How do I raise kids to honor their father? How do I give my children a healthy perspective of marriage if they never see one in action? With practical suggestions, anecdotes, and biblical teaching, this book will encourage moms to see their position as a high calling, to find healing for their worries and frustrations, and to tap into God’s strength for help in facing the daily challenge of being a married mom, solo parent.

About Carla:


Carla Anne Coroy runs the Married Single Mom blog at www.carlaannecoroy.blog.com. She speaks regularly and serves as a staff writer for an online Christian women’s magazine Mentoring Moments for Christian Women. Carla Anne lives in Canada with her husband and four homeschooled children. For more information, visit www.carlaanne.com

My Review:
“Married Mom, Solo Parent” in summary is about women whose husbands are frequently absent; be it physically, emotionally or supportive. Therefore the wives end up feeling like a single parent dealing with what feels like the world and their household weighing heavily on their shoulders.

Overall, the book is great. It goes through the emotions and offers advice to help you get through it. The author encourages you to get out there and find other moms in the same situation with whom you can relate to. When you feel yourself drowning, ask for help! Additionally, it suggest simple task such as enlisting your children to help you with small task around the house. The book also provides you with age specific chores for your kids. The author even addresses situations when the family has to adjust to having the father back home. A very well rounded book.

Although the wives may feel like the husband is responsible; we still should support, honor, and pray for him. He will have to answer to God for his actions and we should do our best to answer to our reaction to this situation in the present. Married Mom, Solo Parent is a great book for married “single” parents providing helpful advice, emotional support and leave them feel that they are not alone.

About the party: Come to an encouraging MomChat party on Facebook…you could win a KindleTouch!

To celebrate the release of her new book Carla has partnered with her publisher, Kregel, to host a live MomChat party on Facebook!

The party will wrap up the blog tour and Carla will be hosting an encouraging MomChat about all things mom and wife related. There will also be a fun contest and she’s giving away a KindleTouch and a ton of other fun stuff (books, gift certificates and more!).

So RSVP and then come back on 10/25 at 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern for the party.

BISSELL Stomp ‘N Go Review

With an almost-two year old in the house, I can’t tell you how often I have to clean up juice stains in our house. As a Full-time working mom, I don’t have time to be on my hands and knees removing stains from our carpets. I recently had the opportunity to review Bissell Stomp ‘N Go pads and found a new friend! BISSELL’s new Stomp ‘N Go® stain lifting pad is unlike any cleaning product available. Using a powerful oxy-based formula, the pre-moistened pads make cleaning easy and fun. You simply place the pre-moistened pad on a spot or stain and stomp over it with your shoe. Upon stomping, the pad begins working to lifting and removing the messy stains off your carpet.


BISSELL Stomp ‘N Go® pads are great for permanently cleaning tough set in stains like red wine, food, fruit juice, coffee/tea, pet messes, blood, mud/dirt and more. The pads left my carpet smelling fresh and I love that they come in convenient, individually wrapped packages. A real time saver! Additional features and benefits include:



• Pads are portable and safe for use on all carpets including nylon, wool and stain resistant carpet
• Pads can also be used on area rugs
• Spots and stains are gone in about 30-minutes
• Each package contains five individually wrapped pads
• Currently available at Kmart, grocery stores and select Wal-Mart stores for $4.99!

I love the BISSELL Stomp ‘N Go® pads, no more getting on my hands and knees to scrub out carpet stains. There is no scrubbing or manual work required– the pad does all the work for you. You leave the pad on the stain for about 30 minutes, remove it and the stain will be gone without a trace. You can actually see the stain being absorbed into the pad!

I tested the pad on one of Monkey’s juice spill and it was gone within the 30 minute time frame. If you have a deep or stubborn stain, no worries! You can leave the pad on overnight to really penetrate the stain and deal with it the next day. BISSELL Stomp ‘N Go® pads can remain on the stain for up to 24 hours to cleaning the mess up for you!

To learn more about BISSELL cleaning products, visit www.bissell.com.

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of BISSELL and received a party kit and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Keeping Fresh Berries from Getting Moldy

I LOVE berries and buy fresh berries from our local grocery store. I put them in my yogurt, ice cream, or just by themselves as a snack. Monkey loves them as well. Unfortunately, within a week they tend to get moldy and we have to toss the uneaten berries out.

I was talking with a co-worker who buys berries close to the expiration to save money. She told me how she keep fresh berries from getting moldy. Curious, I tried it at home for two weeks and it seems to work pretty nicely. Here is her Berry Wash Mix:

* Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 2 1/2 cups of water in a medium size bowl.
* Place berries into the solution and gently agitate the mixture. Making sure all parts of the berries are coated with the solution!
* Using a colander remove the berries from the mixture and rinse with cold water.
* Gently pat the berries dry with a paper towel. Place the berries in sealed container in the refrig until you’re ready to eat.

This simple solution for keeping berries fresh costs pennies and has saved us from wasting money on spoiled produce.

Keeping Your Family Cold and Flu Free #lysolcoldandflu

Fall is fast approaching and with that naturally comes Cold and Flu Season. We all know that keeping your family cold and flu "free" is a pretty impossible task. Here are some my family’s tips to help prevent them from spending this holiday season sick.

1. Get a flu shot. Each year we receive an e-mail alert from our family doctor that is Flu Shot time. I really hate to get shots and so does my son but with little ones you need to help keep them healthy. Flu shots are typically covered under most insurance policies and if you can't afford one, your state may offer Free Flu clinics. Right now you can Like Lysol® on Facebook and get a flu shot badge and an opportunity to receive a $5 flu shot rebate. Learn more about the flu rebate at www.lysol.com/flufree123!

2.Wash your hands. This is one is an easy tip for everyone. Right before eating, just after using the restroom, and after playing in the park we ALWAYS wash my son’s hands. If there is not a restroom nearby carry a hand sanitizer or antibacterial wipes to get kill those pesky germs. Doing little things like washing your hands is so easy and surprise, it's the most effective way to combat the cold and flu viruses.

3.Cover your mouth. It’s important not to let germs spread. Whether it’s a sneeze or a cough, cover your mouth. Teach your kids to cover their mouths and noses with their hands, arms, or a tissue. Keep tissues in your purse or diaper bags.

4.Wipe down surfaces. When someone in you family is sick don't forget to wipe down doorknobs, remotes, countertops, light switches, and phones with an anti-bacterial wipes. This helps kill germs and stops them from spreading to other family members.

Helpful Tips for De-Cluttering and Organzing TOYS

Now that Monkey is almost two we have toys everywhere. You can find his toys in his bedroom, the living room, kitchen, family room, and yes, sadly even our master bedroom. Toys have taken over our house! It’s simply inevitable that Monkey will play with a certain toy and then leave it on the ground when he gets distracted by something else. Thus, leaving a trail of toys in his playtime aftermath. Here a few of my tips to stay on top of the toy mess and to help keep your home organized:

1. Designated bins. We have a colored storage bin in our living room to keep clutter at bay. Each colorful tub is designated for a specific type of toy. A color bin for puzzles, Hot Wheel cars, play food, building blocks, soft toys, etc. One great outcome is when Monkey is looking to play with his Hot Wheels he doesn’t have to search the entire toy box for that one small toy.

2. De-clutter. As your kids grow up and out of one toy, remove it and make space for a new toy. Once a toy has reached its learning ability limit my son does not want to play with it because he’s “mastered” the toy. Thus it’s no longer fun to play with. Every three to four months remove the old toys and store them away for the next little one in your family, give them to friends, have a garage sale, or donate to charity.

3. Bookshelves. We have a bookshelf in Monkey’s room, which holds all of his books, a few stuffed animals, photos, and a piggy bank. You don’t just have to store books on them like a library but make them a functional part of the room. Arrange a neat row of trains, cars, or airplanes on one shelf and books on the bottom shelf.

4. Quick Clean. Right before bed time we have Monkey help pick up all of his toys from the floor and place them back in their bins. This helps him learn that everything has its place. This also helps reinforce where toys are located. We feel that teaching him to clean up now rather than later is a great idea.

5. Play Stations. We have a loft in our home which we have decided to repurpose as a Playroom. We’ve recently brought colorful storage bins, tables and chairs, and several low bookshelves. We’ve placed them in designated areas of the room, thus creating play stations. Monkey has a reading nook, art station and cart/train station. Each locations has a colorful rug, table, chair and storage bins

6. Hang’em High. Don’t forget to use every nook and corner of the rooms. We have colorful corner nets that we store with stuffed animals. They are great for decorating and help keep toys of the floor.

7. Zip it up. Use sandwich bags to store small items like colors, chalk, or puzzle pieces. The bags make them easy for little hands to grab more than just one crayon.

8. Birthday/Holiday Round-up. Prior to these special times of the year sort through the toy box and remove any unused toys. They will likely get more toys and you’ll need the extra room to store them. Store the unused toys in a clear plastic bin in your basement or attic.

9. Out of Sight. Use over the door shoe organizers to store toys, books, or play cloths. Another idea is to use under bed organizers for trains, cars, and train tracks. This helps to create more space while keeping the mess out of sight.

10. Rewards. Every time Monkey voluntarily puts away his toys we reward him with a small treat such as a cookie or extra reading time with daddy. This helps teach him that having a tidy room is important.

Sometimes a toy doesn’t find its way “back home” and you’ll still end up cleaning after your kids. However, it’s important to remember that a toy on the floor simply means a well loved home. What are your tips for keeping your children’s toys organized?
