Florastor Probiotics Supports Healthy Digestion And Is Safe For Children As Young As 2 Months Old

"Disclosure: I am part of the PTPA Brand Ambassador Program with Florastor and I received compensation as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions on my blog are my own."

     As an adult you know how probiotics can help support a healthy digestion system. Probiotics can help your digestion get back on track after illness or when you take antibiotics. You, as a parent, want your child to have healthy digestion but wonder if giving them probiotics is safe for them. FlorastorKids  is a probiotic that is safe to give to kids as young as two months old but also tough enough for the whole family to use. Kids will love the tutti-frutti flavored powder that dissolves in most drinks or soft foods. Your kids can even eat the powder straight from the packet. I gave my picky eater a taste of the powder and he said "this is good, can I have more?"

    FlorastorKids is a dietary supplement that comes in individual packets, that makes it easy to take on the go. This probiotic is great to give to kids as a daily supplement to promote healthy digestion. You can also give your child Florastor while they are recovering from an illness or when they are taking antibiotics to get their digestion back on track.

Here are some facts about Florastor:

          1. Florastor is a yeast-based probiotic supplement (250 mg Saccharomyces boulardii lyo) which is found on the skin of tropical fruits like lychees and mangosteens.

2. FlorastorKids is appropriate for children as young as 2 months.

3. Florastor is vegetarian and gluten-free

4. Florastor does not need to be refrigerated and is not compromised by antibiotic use.

5. There is also a Florastor supplement for adults.

   My 6 year old son is having surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids. He will be taking antibiotics after the surgery and be on a soft food diet. His throat will be hurting for a while so he will not be eating properly as he will be enjoying ice cream and popsicles. I will be giving my son FlorastorKids to keep his digestive system running smoothly. I love that I can sprinkle it on his ice cream or mix into a smoothie. The last thing my little one needs is a tummy ache on top of a sore throat. A healthy digestion with FlorastorKids will support his immune system to promote healing after his surgery.

I love to snack and I am always looking for healthy snacks that are good for me. I discovered a healthy bread stick that tastes great and is high in protein. These tasty little treats are also vegan and made without GMO'S. I love that they are packed in single serve bags which allows me to know how much to eat.  I tend to eat too much when I eat my favorite snack straight from the bag so these single serving bags are great. They come in tasty flavors are are great on the go or at home. My favorite way to eat them is with my favorite healthy dip like hummus or spinach dip. I will be bringing this to my next party along with a healthy spinach dip.

My favorite is the Everything as it is a scrumptious blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion, garlic and salt.

Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door Is A Low-Cost Way To Cool Your House

      I have seen TV commercials for those magnetic screen doors and have wondered if they really work. So when a company asked me if I wanted to review their Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door, I just had to accept the product as I wanted to put it to the test. I wanted to see if this product really works as my husband has a tendency to leave the back door open when he goes outside. My husband loves to grill and he goes outside and when he does he leaves the back door open. Then the flies come in and all night after he grills, we are shooing away the flies. I tell him to close the door but he always tells me that he will be right back in so why bother closing the door. He needs to better communicate with the flies to keep them out.

When the mesh screen door arrived, I had my husband put it up, as he is the reason for needing one. My husband was able to put up the screen in about 5 minutes. The screen door came with adhesive velcro strips to attach it to the door frame. Tacks were also include if the velcro did not stick. The screen has been up for a week using the velcro strips and it is still strongly attached.

Once the screen was in place everybody had to try it out. My boys took turns going in and out of the screen. The magnets inside the screen allow it to close back up after they walked through. I was disappointed that it did not make that loud clashing noise like the ones on TV did, it was quiet when it closed. I happy to say that there are no flies in the house after my husband uses his grill. We also can let the cool breeze in our house through the back door.

I can say for the price of this screen door it does a good job and saves you a lot of money as screens doors are costly to install. There is a couple of things that I don't like about the screen. There is a three inch gap at the top of the screen which could let in small bugs. I will be sewing that gap up with some strong thread to solve that problem. The other thing is that I wished that they company had included full strips of velcro for the sides of the door frame. The company just included several pieces of velcro that you attached in a couple of places on your door frame, thus leaving little gaps for small bugs to get in. I guess I could us the provided tacks to take care of the gaps. We did not get any bugs in the house but you can never be too careful.

The Identical Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Has Awesome Music From The Identical Movie And A Giveaway

   My husband and I were able to see a great movie called The Identical before it was released to the public. The movie theater has a special showing for church leaders and bloggers. My husband and I are both active leaders in our church so we jumped at the opportunity to see a faith based movie. The movie The Identical was a great movie that I recommend seeing. This movie shows people how God interacts in our lives and directs our paths. This inspiring movie tells of a boy who follows his dreams, against his preacher dad's wishes, to become a singer. During his journey he discovers a different path God had for him. The music in the movie will remind you of Elvis, although I don't know if that was the producers intention.

 The Identical is coming to theaters September 5th and this is a movie that is great for the whole family to see. I will be bringing friends with me when I watch the movie again. This is a movie you will want to see.

About the movie:

The IDENTICAL tells the compelling story of twin brothers unknowingly separated at birth during the Great Depression. DREXEL HEMSLEY becomes an iconic 50’s rock ’n’ roll star, while RYAN WADE (Blake Rayne) struggles to balance his love for music and pleasing his father. The Reverend Wade (Ray Liotta) and his wife (Ashley Judd) are sure their adopted son has been gifted and called by God to be a preacher. But Ryan challenges his parent’s vision for his life, and unflinchingly chooses to launch his own music career with his best friend (Seth Green). Encouraged by his wife (Erin Cottrell) and employer (Joe Pantoliano), Ryan embarks on an unpredictable, provocative path - performing the legendary music of Drecel Hemsley in sold out venues all across the country. As the brothers destinies tragically collide, Ryan discovers that Drexel is his identical twin which leads him to question everything he’s ever believed about God, family, and his own identity.

                 Group ticket rates:   http://seatzy.com/main/bulkrequest/the-identical

 The movie also has great music in it and I was sent THE IDENTICAL ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK SAMPLER to enjoy. I listened to the CD and it brought back great memories of the movie. I even sang along with the music as I did my work. The music was very much in the style of Elvis as the lead actor looked and sounded very much like him.

About the Soundtrack Sampler:

  THE IDENTICAL ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK SAMPLER features 12 of the 20 original songs by Jerry Marcellino and Yochanan Marcellino from the film. Including “Your Love’s Keepin’ Me Tonight,” “City Lights,” “Angel of Mine,” “Everybody Knows It” and “Nashville Tonight."

Chocolate Almond Butter Granola Bars Made With Paradise 100% Natural Coconut Oil

    I love to bake and I am always trying new recipes and ingredients. Many of my friends are always talking about coconut oil and how wonderful it is for baking. I have to admit that up until now, I have never baked with coconut oil.When I received an opportunity to review coconut oil I got excited as I have never used it in baking. I was sent a container of Paradise Organic Coconut Oil to review on my blog and of course I knew I had to bake something. I decided to bake some granola bars with the coconut oil and the results are amazing. Lets just say I have to hide these granola bars deep in the fridge or I will eat too many of them. These granola bars are full of healthy items and can be great for breakfast or snacks.

  Paradise Organic Coconut oil is a 100% natural coconut oil that can be used for hair, skin, eating, cooking and smoothies! Coconut oil is known as a healthy oil that is great for healthy cholesterol levels among many other things like increased energy. This oil is USDA certified organic and gluten free. I love that it is cold pressed, Non-GMO, and unrefined. The coconut oil is great for low carb diets too!

I love how clear this coconut oil is. This oil has a nice mild taste to it also.

Blonde Brownies Made The Low Fat Way

    My 14 year old son loves to bake. He wanted to make brownies the other day and started searching online for recipes. He found a recipe for blonde brownies at www.verybestbaking.com. While the fat grams were only 7 grams in the recipe, I knew that he could cut out some of the butter and chocolate chips and still make it taste good but be lower in fat. The recipe called for 3/4 cups butter and 2 cups of chocolate chips. My son only put 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup of chocolate chips in the brownie recipe and the result was delicious. The brownies were full of flavor and were chewy just like regular brownies but lower in fat. I love when I can make a favorite treat for my family with less fat.

Blonde Brownies

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup (1 sticks) butter or margarine, softened

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cups  Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350° F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch  pan.

COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Beat sugar and butter in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract; gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels. Spread into prepared pan.

BAKE for 30 to 35 minutes or until top is golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. 

I love experimenting with recipes and I find that with most recipes you can cut out a 1/3 of the butter and it still tastes great. Here is another recipe for low fat chocolate chip cookies that I love to make.

Soothie Suckers Are An All-Natural Herbal Supplement Ice Pop That My Boys Love

  I want to tell you about a wonderful product that tastes so good and gives your child an all- natural herbal supplement at the same time. Your kids will enjoy them so much they wont even know it is good for them. I received these ice pops the other day and my boys were excited to try them. My boys are 6 and 7 years old and they can read so they knew these ice pops were healthy but the cute designs on the box made my boys want to try them. My boys wanted to taste the ice pops right away but I told them we had to freeze them first. They froze in about an hour and I gave them to my boys to try. My boys  took one bite and said " these taste really good " and I had to try them also after hearing them say that. I taste the ice pops and found them to be sweet like regular ice pops. I love that they have only 4 grams of sugar in them along with healthy herbs. There is no artificial flavors or high fructose corn syrup in these ice pops. They are sweeten with organic agave syrup. They can be enjoyed frozen or as a juice.

Soothie Suckers come in two varieties: Immune support and Nasal support. The Immune support tastes like an orange ice pop and the Nasal support tastes like a grape ice pop. These Soothie Suckers has a 500 mg Herbal Extract blend in them that contains Echinacea along with other herbs that are discussed Here on their webpage. These ice pops are a great way to support your child's immune system so their bodies can fight off those germs that they come into to contact with. This is treat that I will be saying yes to as school has started and I want my boys to stay healthy this year.

Australian Tea Tree Oil Has Many Uses From Skin Care To Household Cleaners

I was sent a bottle of Australian Tea Tree Oil to try out and review on my blog. I know very little about Tea Tree Oil, only that I had read it was good for acne. So I was intrigued about what Tea Tree Oil and its many uses that range from skin care to household uses. How can an oil from a leaf of the Melaleuca Alternifolia, a tree native to Australia, do so much?

This oil has many uses from aromatherapy, antimicrobial, household cleaning, skin care, and hair care. Inhaling the oil helps lower stress and the Australian Aborigines have been using the Tea Tree Oil to treat the common cold for centuries. I was surprised that the oil fights acne, toenail fungus, lice, warts, and many more skin conditions. The oil also is great for making your own cleaners as it has disinfecting agents in it. The Tea Tree Oil comes with a guide that shows you the many uses of the oil. The guide also has 50 easy to make recipes to make your own natural products.

The guide that come with the Tea Tree Oil is 100 pages and has a lot of information in it, like the origin and uses of the oil, along with great recipes. The recipes are for cleaners, skin care products, cold care, and even things like natural toothpaste and mouth wash.  My favorite part of the guide was the recipes to make spa products like face masks and skin cleansers.

The first thing I noticed about the Tea Tree Oil, when I received it in the mail, was the scent. It was strong at first but then soothing. I was suffering from allergies and the oil cleared my nasal passages. I then applied the oil on a cut that I had and it did not sting but made it feel better. I am hoping the zits on my face will clear up too, as I applied the oil to them. I also found a recipe, in the included guide,  for a all purpose cleaner that uses the oil and I love how it cleans my counters.

Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum Giveaway

I love using Vitamin C serum on my face as it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. Vitamin C is a wonderful vitamin that not only is great for our body but also is great when used on the skin. I have been using Vitamin C serums for a couple of months and I have noticed that my skin is softer. I also don't need to use a lot of moisturizer on my face either as my skin is no longer dry. I just rub the vitamin C serum on my face every morning and follow with my favorite lotion. My skin stays moist through out the day and no longer itches from dryness.

Dr. Song Vitamin C Serum is a great topical skin product that makes skin soft and smooth. This product is light and non-greasy and absorbs quickly into your skin.

Homemade Vanilla Cake That Is Simple To Make

                                This cake is simple and delicious!

You will never want to buy boxed cake mix when you see how simple it is to make your own cake. This cake tastes so much better than a box mix. This cake tastes great plain but can be frosted also. My family enjoys it with fruit on top of it. I served it with blueberries last night and there were no leftovers.

I discovered this great recipe from another blogger Chocolate Chocolate and More but made a few changes to her recipe. This cake is made with egg whites so it has a light texture to it.

Homemade Vanilla Cake

Ingredients    

1/2 cup soften butter

1 1/2 cups sugar  

1 cup milk  

1 teaspoon  vanilla extract  

2 cups plus 2 tablespoons  flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoons salt     

4 large egg whites

confectioner's sugar for dusting

        1. Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

2. Add milk and vanilla and combine well.                            

                             

                                   3. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture gradually to the milk mixture, blending.                                                             

                                                         

   4. Add egg whites and beat well until combined.                    

               

           5. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9 X 13-inch baking pan.  

                                  6. Bake at 350-degree oven for 40-45 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle

(it comes out clean) it is done.

 7. Let cool for 45 minutes and dust with confectioner's sugar.

Notes:

You can make this in 2 cake pans. To serve with fruit, use fresh, frozen or can fruit. I used 2 cups thawed frozen blueberries with 1 tablespoon honey mixed into them to make a nice topping.
