It's NO secret that I'm a huge fan of www.naturalbabygiveaways.com.  If I had more time, I would enter every giveaway posted there.  For the foreseeable future, there will be a Linky list of all the current giveaways going on.  Stop by at your convenience and enter the giveaways that fit your life!  The mama behind NBG, Jessica, just had a baby!  Congrats Jessica!  As soon as you get a moment to yourself, I'm really hoping for a picture of your little one :)

In honor of the birth, Jessica is hosting her own giveaway event!  I think she might have been full of pregnancy hormones when she took on the challenge of reviewing newborn products.  Or maybe she's a whole lot more together than I felt when I had a newborn :)  Regardless, I LOVE giveaway events because all the giveaways are posted and end within a short time frame.  Check it out (or don't and give me a better chance of winning ;)

HappyBaby Review & Giveaway

8/31/2010

Oh HAPPY day.  When my BABY is healthy and happy.  I love this FOOD!  HappyBabyOrganics is exactly like all the convenience foods I find at the local big box… except they are organic, not overly processed, and chock full of healthy nutrients.

I am lucky in that my daughter loves food.  She will eat ANYTHING!  In fact, her dad thinks it’s funny to feed her blue cheese ‘cause she makes horrible faces, but still eats it.  Meanie!

ESPOMA Organic Gardening Products Review & Giveaway

Time for a confession, I failed miserably with photographing my use of these products.  I kept saying that I’d do it… tomorrow… and then I kept waiting to post my review.  Now it’s time that I accept my faults, apologize for not having awesome pics to back up my review… and get this review & giveaway UP!

My husband surprised me one day by saying that he thought it was less important to keep our vegetable garden organic and more important to save our produce from destruction.  It makes so much sense to me, but as a family who buys organic as much as possible, I felt a little hypocritical.  We don’t use many pesticides on our garden, but when push comes to shove, we will “dust” our crops to save them.  Homegrown is still better than grocery store produce, that I’m sure of!

Have you ever noticed that I really like to push my opinions through this website?  In real life, I'm pretty tight lipped.  I'm not gonna comment on your choice of diapers or baby food.  However, behind the veil of LGM, I'm one opinionated mama!

Right now SheKnowsParenting is surveying parents on all kinds of goodies to come up with the year's best.  JOIN ME IN VOTING FOR OUR (or at least my) FAVORITE ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTS!  Might I recommend (yes, of course I'll tell you what to vote for!):

A wrap-up and a newbie

8/20/2010

 
It's NO secret that I sometimes procrastinate.  Don't we all?  And like you, I always have really good resasons :)  August is coming to an end and I haven't finished all of August's product reviews and giveaways (August's theme is Green Products for the Home... in case you didn't notice).

Today is the LAST day to enter the ThermaPod Mini Giveaway.  It's one heck of a cool lunch box.

Tomorrow I intended to post my Espoma review/giveaway.  Except I'll be out of town and I need to pack and I didn't finish it yet and the dog ate my homework and...  SO, here's a little prize for those of you who are loyal readers... you can ENTER TODAY... no mandatory entries!  Just leave a comment telling me that you'd LOVE to try Espoma products (feel free to rephrase)!  In a few days, I'll put the product review up and then I'll no longer accept these {lazy} entries :)

WAIT ONE SECOND... what is Espoma and what are their products?  Espoma is the maker and distributor of high-end natural and organic gardening products.  {YES PLEASE, I WANT IT ALL!}

The GIVEAWAY includes:  an Espoma Assortment featuring the Earth-Tone Insect Control, an 8 qt bag of Organic Potting Mix, a 4 lb. bag of ‘tone’ plant food and a bottle of their new liquid Gro-tone plant food.  

WOW... that's gonna be one BIG box!  I will be reviewing the Organic Potting Mix and the Earth-tone Insect Control.  Remember, just leave a comment to enter.  Once my review is up, you'll have to work a little bit harder to win this organic haul :)

A shorter food chain

I'm referring to the food chain of where you food was raised/grown, who has handled it, how far it has travelled, how fresh is it really?

Tonight I served my family Hassenpfeffer and it was delicious!  We raise our own rabbits as food, but hadn't yet LOVED the meals we made.  That changed today... thanks to my trusty Crock-Pot!  I'm not gonna publish the recipe here, 'cause I didn't make it up, but if you'd like the recipe, send an email to lazygreenmama[at]gmail[dot]com.

Two of my favorite bloggers/people recently blogged about their experiences with raising chickens and preparing them.  It's fun that we're all starting this journey and quasi clueless.  Click here and here to enjoy their posts.

However, it seems to me that the average person is grossed out with the idea of raising their own food.  If I hadn't spent the last six years with my husband (an avid hunter), I'd probably be just like that.  However, now I'm grossed out with the idea of food that was raised God knows where, handled by God knows who, sat on ice for God knows how long... 

It's not feasible for many people to raise their own food, especially livestock.  However, I encourage you to start the process of considering where your food is coming from and research alternatives (ie buy direct from a farm, talk to your grocer, eat one vegetarian meal a week).

Domestically Green Dryer Balls Review & Giveaway

I’m going to highlight an Etsy shop once a month (maybe more) on a Thursday.  Etsy is a social commerce website where anyone can “open” a shop to sell their crafts or antiques.  If you ever spent time on Etsy, you know that there is SO much great stuff.  I LOVE buying directly from the crafters and even more, I love hand made products!  So, I’ll spend the time window shopping and introduce you to the greenest and the coolest shops around!

This week, I’m highlighting DOMESTICALLY GREEN and her uber cool wool dryer balls.  Check her out at www.domesticallygreen.etsy.com
