Smart Food: Jimmy D’s Griddle Sticks w/giveaway

Mommy, can I have a pancake on a popsicle?
Bet your child didn’t ask you that this morning!
Jimmy Dean has created what I consider a mother’s solution to eating on the run, the Jimmy D’s Griddle Stick!  This pancake on a stick has a delicious turkey sausage in the middle.  After just 60 seconds in the microwave your child is holding their breakfast and ready to munch on the run. The 160 calories and 7 grams of protein also they make Smart Mama happy, too!  The griddle sticks sell for about $4.99 and come with 6 in a box.

I had my first griddle stick at BlogHer, a conference for bloggers, this past August. I was captivated by its design and most importantly nutritional content.  My family loves pancakes and turkey sausage. How great would it be, I wondered? Fantastic! Ideal for moms, ideal for kids …

Smart Food: Simply Smart Cheddar Chive Mini Muffins

Are you wondering what is Hood Simply Smart Milk?  I was.  Here’s what I found out:
Hood found an innovative, natural technique called ultra filtration to remove some of the water that makes lowfat milk look and taste watery.  The result is simply delicious milk rich in nutrition and taste.  Simply Smart: All the taste, without all the fat.
Not bad. Right? Many of us love milk and most of us use it in cooking. But the skim milk we typically drink does not provide the proper consistency that we need in recipes.  Secondly, the skim milk, well it tastes like skim milk; milk that has been watered down to be of the desired calorie and fat content.  Hood has felt our yearning for the richer tasting milk that we all drank once upon a time; with its Simply Smart milk products.  Simply Smart Fat Free, 1% and Fat …

Smart Product: PrintingHQ Business Cards (w/20% discount)

Incredible customer service, quality product, very affordable and fast!  You can’t ask for much more from a business card manufacturer.  PrintingHQ dedicated time and attention to my urgent printing need.  With BlogHer10 fast approaching a few weeks back, I was tremendously disappointed by a set of business cards I had ordered from a competitor.  It is evident that a human eye never verified the order before or after it went through the printer.  The cards were clearly not centered and looked very unprofessional.  I wasn’t about to pass these out to colleagues as a 1st impression token.
PrintingHQ stepped up to the plate, willing to do whatever it took to get the cards done for me correctly.  Much time was invested on both ends to be certain that the card I had envisioned was exactly the card that they would produce for me.  We communicated through Twitter and …

Smart Cause: Conference attendees donate 1000 diapers at BlogHer!


A Jimmy Dean alarm clock, a Dora t-shirt, a half a dozen reusable grocery bags, packs of detergent and more were some of the swag items at this year’s BlogHer 2010 conference in New York City. Bloggers from across the globe, primarily women, attended the conference to learn the very best strategies on blogging and about the latest product innovations that may interest their readers.  Vendors like to provide conference attendees with freebies, a.k.a. swag, to encourage them to try a new product and potentially feature it in a future blog post.  An extra large duffel bag was stuffed to the rim with the swag I received.
Now there was one piece of swag that was like no other.  It didn’t take up an inch in any suitcases; it didn’t come with an aluminum water bottle or stain fighting promise.  The …
