All You Need Is Less Book Review & Giveaway

By

Recently I was invited to participate in a blog tour and review of a new book called All You Need Is Less: The Eco-Friendly Guide to Guilt-Free Living and Stress-Free Simplicity by Madeleine Somerville.

allyouneedislessbook

All You Need Is Less is a funny, real and practical guide to living green while saving money. And it does so without vilifying anyone who uses plastic bags and Lysol.

Eco-blogger Madeleine Somerville even starts the book right away with a laugh at how most eco-friendly books start: “terror-inducing lists of the carcinogenic chemicals you are liberally slathering all over every single surface of your house, painting you as an unwitting eco-villain, happily Lysol-ing you way straight to Hades.” (I know what she’s talking about – I have some of these books!)

Bitsy’s Brainfood Cereals Review

By

This is my review of Bitsy’s Brainfood Cereals. I was provided with complimentary cereals. All opinions are 100% mine.

Our family loves and eats cereal every day.

Therefore, I do my best to buy healthful and organic cereals that my kids will also like, which is why I was curious and pleased to review three new organic and healthful cereals from Bitsy’s Brainfood.

Created by two moms, the new line of cereals offers families “a smarter cereal alternative made from organic ingredients and real fruits and veggies, all packaged in way that’s educational and fun.”

Bitsy’s cereal is available in three flavor combinations: Fruit & Veggie 1,2,3, Carrot Raisin Crunch, and Banana Squash Squares.
