Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter Review and Giveaway!

I'm sure you've heard by now about this amazing company called Tropical Traditions! Every product I've tried, I've really liked, even though some of my expectations were different than the actual product.

When I received my Organic Coconut Peanut Butter, I ripped into the package, grabbed a knife, and proceeded to make myself some peanut butter toast -- some times I just have cravings for it! The consistency of the Coconut Peanut Butter is not as smooth as other brands, but I had no trouble spreading it on toast; I'd compare the consistency similar to our Smart Balance butter spread. And the coconut and peanut butter taste as pretty much equal. I thought it might be sweeter, but looking at the ingredients, it's Organic Dried Coconut and Organic Roasted Valencia Peanuts! Comparing the Nutrition Facts to the peanut butter we already had in the cupboard, Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter has 75% less calories! I'm so pumped to try this in our homemade protein bars because I know that it's only the good stuff! I'll also recommend this to a family member, who's normally a peanut butter fiend but has difficulties finding a diabetic friendly solution.

BUY IT!!
You can purchase a 16 oz. glass jar of organic Coconut Peanut Butter for $14.99.

Wordless Wednesday -- Our New Neighbors

When I don't get enough sleep...

When I'm run down, it seems like most everyone around me, especially the littlest member of the family, revs up even more! I remember when I used to teach, the lack of sleep for whatever reason didn't effect me or my day much. Could the aging process attack my energy level or is tending to a 2 year old much more draining than tending to 100 16 year olds -- and for the record, I am NOT pregnant!

I've had the sleep discussion with myself plenty of times. I stay up way too late having "ME" time, and I'm actually going to try to vary my routine and see if I can overcome the fatigue! Yawn.

This post is part of the Blog Dare's Prompt: When I Don't Get Enough Sleep.

CSN Stores Review

Earlier I mentioned how we'd love to get a swing set, and CSN stores kindly provided an opportunity to review any of their products. I actually purchased a couple of child-proofing items which we need to keep little fingers out of trouble! CSN offers a variety of items, and shipping is expedient! However, shipping starts around $7, so it's best to either buy a lot or spend a lot! If you're planning any online purchases, take a look at CSN stores as you shop around!

The Flats and Handwashing Challenge May 23-30

I saw this Flats and Handwashing Challenge and thought it was interesting. It's a very basic way to experience one of the most cost-friendly ways to cloth diaper. I thought about participating, but since I don't have any flats, making a purchase is still purchasing, making it not as cost friendly! But I have handwashed pockets and fitteds to dry over night -- the heat in the house dried them up in one night; and I've handwashed to dry outside -- in fact, yesterday, I washed up the 3 dirty ones to hang out in the sunshine, one of the few super sunny days we've had!
