THE PRIZE
One reader will receive a tube of dulash Eyelash Gel! ($95)
MY REVIEW
No matter how crazy my morning is, I never leave the house without mascara on, and I think most women are the same way. Eyelashes are kind of a big deal to women, and I just heard about a new product called dulash that stimulates eyelash growth and strengthens all your lashes.

THE PRIZE
One reader will win a weePOD toilet trainer seat in his/her choice of colors (pink, blue, green). ($33)
MY REVIEW
This potty seat is so much MORE than others I’ve seen – it’s super cushiony and shaped to be comfortable and stable for small children. I can even put Gus on it and he thinks it’s great!

I am really loving mason jars for EVERYTHING. I love eating my canned goodness, washing my jars, and filling them with ribbon, thread, buttons, paperclips, fabric scraps, cranberries, trail mix, you name it.

Here are two more great recipes from Whole Grains – whole wheat strawberry pancakes and whole wheat oatmeal pancakes.
For me, breakfast is the best place to start incorporating more grains into my diet. My kids loved these two pancake recipes and had no idea they were eating whole wheat and oatmeal!

We’ve been hiking and camping quite a bit this summer, and I’ve found 3 easy and healthy snack recipes in a Betty Crocker cookbook I recently received to review (it’s fabulous and I’ll be giving it away in September) called Whole Grains. I’m working my way through this book and I’m loving it, especially the snack recipes.

A while ago I wrote a tutorial on how to make baby burp cloths, but three videos are so much better!

The winner of the Wonder Junior is Robin Ingram! She said, “I would like to have this because it is good for food storage/emergency preparedness, especially in situations of power loss. Also, I like that it is a smaller mill. Seems easy for daily grinding. I have been trying to make my own bread, and would like to start making use of the hard wheat that I have gotten from the cannery. This would be a great addition to my emergency preparedness in my home.”

After 1 month with my new Frigidaire Affinity front loading washer and dryer set, I can say that I am still extremely impressed with the quiet work it does. That’s still my favorite thing.
