Funky Monkey Fruit Snacks ~ Review & Giveaway ~ Ends 12/11

I am always looking for healthy snacks for my family. Especially my daughter, who at 4 years old is a competitive gymnast. She has to take snacks to her practices, and I like for it to be something light and healthy. When I saw Funky Monkey Fruit Snacks, I knew that they would be perfect.

Funky Monkey Snacks are different than other pieces of fruit in my opinion. First of all the pieces of fruit are really good sized. The flavors are a lot different too. My personal favorite was the JiveALime which is Pineapple and Lime. They were all very good. My daughter and husband loved them as well. In fact, my husband took a bag to work, and everyone he shared them with were asking where to buy them!

I really do love these snacks. I thought they were delicious and loved the fact that they were healthy for my family. Each ounce of Funky Monkey contains 3 servings of real fruit and contains no added sugars or sweeteners and no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. They are 100% natural. 

Here are some additional Funky Monkey highlights:

•             Funky Monkey Snacks are all-natural with no added colors, flavors, sugars, or preservatives

•             Our special, proprietary manufacturing process provides for a crunchier texture vs. conventional

               freeze-drying techniques

•             We use full slices and pieces (not dices) of delicious, fresh fruit

•             Funky Monkey is made at the source in Brazil, using fresh, tropical fruits at the peak of freshness

•             Our products are gluten-free, certified Kosher, and certified non-GMO

•             One of our 7 flavors, Purple Funk, also includes açai, a berry from the Amazon that is viewed as the  

               newest superfood

The ONLY thing I would change about Funky Monkey Snacks is that they do not come in a resealable bag. My daughter does not eat very much at one time and I would have liked to have been able to seal the bag back up.

You can WIN a sampler pack (1 bag of each of the 7 flavors) right here on my blog!

Howard B. Wigglebottom Book ~ Review & Giveaway ~ (Ends 12/10)

My daughter loves books and loves being read to. That being said, she is also 4, and is an only child. As is the case with most only children, she has a bit of an issue with sharing, and she is somewhat spoiled (I know, I know, but she is my baby! =0) ) When I discovered the Howard B. Wigglebottom Books from the We Do Listen Foundation I knew I wanted them ALL!

The main character in the books is a little bunny named Howard B. Wigglebottom and the stories are all about the lessons he learns in his childhood and the things he goes through to learn them. These books are so awesome. They are so cute, with wonderful stories, but they have great lessons in the stories. Great lessons about morals and values. Listening to your heart, giving, sharing, bullying, lying, sportsmanship, and so much more. All these things that children need to know about but sometimes parents don't know how to explain. Also there are short lesson recaps in the back of the book, sort of like a discussion, which I think is SUPER GREAT!

For our review we received Howard B. Wigglebottom and the Power of Giving : A Christmas Story. I chose this one because it is Christmas time, and my daughter really needs to learn about giving. The story tells about how Howard is very obsessed with his toys and how many material things he has. He takes his home and family for granted until he gets himself into a sticky situation! I am not going to give away the story, but let's just say he learns a very valuable lesson from a few good friends. My daughter loved this book, and so did her father and I. We thought the story was VERY well written, and the pictures were beautiful.

You can purchase the Howard B. Wigglebottom books online from the We Do Listen Foundation or Amazon.  Also the latest book Howard B.Wigglebottom Learns About Sportsmanship: Winning Isn’t Everything is now on sale for $6 for US buyers on the We Do Listen Foundation website. It will be in bookstores and Amazon in January. The book, poster and lesson are a fun way to start a family discussion about a very timely subject. If it’s within your holiday budget, buyers in the US can also buy all ten Howard B. Wigglebottom hardcover books now for $50. What a deal!
