Winner is #27, Nancy of Nancy's Couture! Congrats! 

Seventh Generation just sent me a prize pack of their new natural dish soaps to try out. All of their scents come from fields, not factories. They contain only essential oils and botanical extracts while still delivering real cleaning power. Just like other Seventh Generation products, their dish soaps are free of unnecessary synthetic colors or chemically engineered scents.

This is the prize pack I was sent. I LOVE it! My favorite scent is the Fresh Citrus and Ginger. It smells just as the title calls it...FRESH! I feel really good about washing the dishes we eat off of with chemical free soap. I am also loving the natural sponges and the awesome Le Creuset pan. I saw it in my grocery store for $50!

Christmas already?! Shutterfly {GIVEAWAY} CLOSED

Winners are #30 - Emily of The Johnson Five
#4 - Lisa of Being an American Mom

Congratulations! 

Yep. Its that time already. I find myself planning even more in advance seeing that I will have an infant hooked to me for every aspect of Christmas prep this year. I'm kinda terrified of the shopping...

Anyway, one thing that is easy, is the cards from Shutterfly. I got the cards there last year and was so happy with the way they turned out. They came in a box with envelopes and I even got matching return address labels. Sooo cute! 

This year, I have to choose a card that makes room for a family of 4 on the front! Here are some of my faves:

I can't get away from monograms.

I love this one, but it is really similar to last year's card.
 And this one may be my fave. I think the black makes it look so classy. 
Shutterfly has a huge variety of Christmas Cards, Greeting Cards and Thank You Cards to choose from. I will more than likely be visiting them once the baby is born to get birth announcements as well! 

Have you decided on cards yet for this year yet? The folks at Shutterfly are giving you a chance to win some cards of your own! 

3 lucky winners will receive a promo code for 25 cards of your choice!

Weight Watchers Ice Cream {REVIEW}

Congrats to Tabathia for winning the Veggie Tales Princess and the Popstar DVD! 

A couple weeks back, I had a massive package on my front porch. I opened it up to some steaming dry ice and all these delish things inside.
I love ice cream. I love chocolate. I don't love diet foods. I don't have any need to eat diet foods since I'm pregnant and all. But I tried them. All of them. And I was quite surprised. They're good. Like really good. And just because I don't need to eat diet foods right now, you better believe that in 5 weeks when I pop this baby out, I will be counting every.single.calorie.

Here are all the details on the flavors I was sent. Notice 3 of them have less than 80 calories! 
  • New Weight Watchers Snack Size Ice Cream Sandwiches: Two brand new flavors of Weight Watchers Ice Cream, low fat Vanilla Bean and Dutch Chocolate, have just 80 calories each. The variety pack includes four sandwiches of both flavors with a PointsPlus® value of 2 per sandwich.
  • New Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Dulcé de Leché Dessert Bars: A highly indulgent ice cream bar featuring low fat dulcé de leché ice cream with a caramel swirl dipped in dark chocolate. Each bar has a PointsPlus value of 3 per bar and 120 calories.
  • New Weight Watchers Strawberry Fruit Bar: A healthier snack option for adults and kids, this bar is made with real fruit and is an excellent source of vitamin C. Plus, this delightfully fruity bar has 15 percent fewer calories and 30 percent less sugar than other national leading brands of fruit bars. Each has 70 calories and a PointsPlus value of 2 per bar.
  • Weight Watchers Strawberry Smoothie Bar: A blend of low-fat strawberry frozen yogurt and real strawberries. This bar is a good source of vitamin C and has the creamy goodness of a smoothie with just 60 calories and a PointsPlus value of 2 per bar.

My favorite were the Dark Chocolate Dulce de Leche. Hubs favorite were the Vanilla Bean ice cream sandwiches. I say were because they're gone. It only took us a couple weeks to get through them! Now, my first thought when I got them is, "I don't want to eat all this fake sugar". Surprise, surprise, they don't have artificial sugars in them. Just appropriately sized, low fat treats. I'm impressed. 

Even if you're not on Weight Watchers, these are perfect desserts for satisfying your sweet tooth when you are trying to be good and watching those calories. I say go get you some NOW!
