Tarts w/ Hearts Have Reduced Their Prices!!!

Okay, all of you out there know that I LOVE tarts from Tarts w/ Hearts! These are the BEST tarts out there (in my opinion and several others also)! The scents that I have tried have been nothing short of awesome and these tarts lasts for several days. I know that I have tried sooo many tarts (nationals and locals) and NONE have compared to these. Jamie over at Tarts w/ Hearts has mastered this skill! I keep thinking that she needs to go national because she WILL blow the competition away!

She has reduced her prices and here are just a few examples:

a) You can purchase 12 tarts for $9.99
b) You can purchase 24 tarts for $18.99 ... <--- this is a GREAT bargain!
c) You can purchase one for $1.00.

She also sells room sprays and tart burners (which I have my eye on the willow tart burner - hopefully I can purchase it soon)!

Plus, she sells cute little gift bags and "flower" baskets. Take a look!

So..click on this link and it will take you straight to Tarts w/ Hearts website. You will be on this page for awhile, trying to decide which scents you want. She will be updating her scent list too real soon to include some fall scents (MY FAVORITES)....

You can also "like" her page on Facebook. Click this link to go to Tarts w/ Hearts Facebook page.

If you place an order, tell her Amy sent you!!!!

Seventh Generation Back To School Bundle Giveaway and Review

Is your child picking up more than the ABC´s in school? While you´re packing your child´s backpack with the pencils, notebooks and tools they´ll need for a great school year, don´t forget the supplies they´ll need to stay healthy and germ-free, too.

With nearly 22 million school days lost each year due to the common cold and flu (CDC) and as many as 2.7 million bacterial found per square inch on common school surfaces (NSF International), it´s no wonder that 82 percent of parents with kids in grades K-5 fret about the germs in their children´s classrooms (according to a survey conducted by Seventh Generation).

Here is a video about the history of germs:

This school year, Seventh Generation is sharing tips from best-selling author and pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene, to help parents protect their child´s health during back-to-school season. Dr. Greene suggests taking the following precautions:

Optimize the Immune System

* Reap the benefits of probiotics like those found in yogurt. A recent study showed that children who received enough probiotics daily throughout the cold and flu season had a significant reduction in the number of illnesses they had and, when they did get sick, the symptoms were both milder and didn't last as long.

* Be sure your child is getting plenty of vitamin D from the sun, from food, or from a supplement.

* Build a strong foundation. Good food, good sleep, and good physical activity all help the immune system to flourish.

Be wise about reducing unnecessary exposure to harmful germs

* Teach children the key times to clean their hands in the classroom. The most important times include after sneezing, coughing or using the restroom, upon leaving "high-risk" places (recess, naptime, play stations) and before meals or snacks.

* Sixty percent of teachers surveyed said that they request that parents donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom. Seventh Generation´s disinfecting wipes kill 99.99% of germs* naturally using the active ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme.

* Stress the importance of not touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.

* Demonstrate to your children how to cover their mouth and nose for every cough and sneeze. This simple maneuver has spectacular results in decreasing the spread of viruses and bacteria floating about the room, waiting to be inhaled.

*Refer to disinfecting product labels for full details

MY THOUGHTS:

First time user but lifetime fan! In my opinion, these products are great! I loved everything that was included in the pack! It was quick cleaning but very effective cleaning. The smell is a clean scent too - not some chemical-smelling type of product that you can get. I feel that you will NOT be disappointed with Seventh Generation. Definately 5 stars in my book! And, I feel extremely safe using the products around my children and my pets.

HOW TO WIN YOUR OWN SEVENTH GENERATION PACK!!!
