Have you heard of Frosch cleaning products? I had not until I received the opportunity to try them for review. I like using more and more natural products in my home so I was eager to try Frosch cleaning products.
Disclosure: I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of this product.
The Frosch brand was launched in 1986 by Werner & Mertz, with the intention of offering environmentally friendly cleaning products that were able to compete with traditional cleaning brands without compromise. Environmental considerations permeate every aspect of Frosch, from ingredients to packaging. Frosch’s state-of- the-art research facility is constantly working to improve upon its formulations, and production takes place under the strict EMAS scheme of the European Union. Voted Germany’s Most Trusted Brand by Reader’s Digest for 15 years running, Frosch has a loyal following in many export countries around the world, but has not been available in the U.S.A. until now.

After trying the cleaning products pictured, my verdict is that they all work well and smell pleasant. I hate using cleaning products that smell like I should be wearing a gas mask when using them because of the harmful chemical fumes. You can feel safe using Frosch products around your family (no harmful fumes). In fact your kids can even help clean with these products.
• Frosch Pomegranate Dishwashing Liquid contains pomegranate extracts that soothe and moisturize skin and provide an effective clean with its optimal grease and dirt dissolving power.
After trying these products, I have to share my favorites. I love the baking soda all purpose cleaner because it smells so clean. Confession, I love baking soda products pretty much always because I love the clean smell and feeling they leave behind. So if you want a really fresh and clean smelling house use the baking soda all purpose cleaner.
My other favorite new Frosch product is the dishwashing liquid. I tried both the pomegranate and aloe vera dishwashing liquids and liked them both, but love the aloe vera scent. My skin is very sensitive to soaps and frequent washing can lead to dry cracked skin, especially in the winter. When I taught Family and Consumer Science and was in the food lab all day, my hands looked terrible from frequent washing. I wish I would have had this dish soap then, I would have used it for hand washing soap. The aloe vera dishwashing liquid is so gentle on my hands. I always use natural dishwashing soap because I figure since we are eating off of the dishes, I want the soap used to be as natural and free of unnecessary chemicals as possible. One thing I have noticed about natural dishwashing liquids though is that they usually don't form as many suds as conventional soaps. Frosch dishwashing liquid is no exception, you won't see as many suds as with conventional dish soaps, but your dishes will be clean and you can feel good knowing that you are not introducing unnecessary chemicals into your home. • Frosch Diswashing Liquid is a vegan moisturizing hand dishwashing liquid that works efficiently and is gentle on your skin.

My family does not have any allergies to dairy, but I know people who do and was curious to try Wayfare Dairy-free pudding to see what it was like. We tried all three flavors, chocolate, vanilla, and butterscotch which are all delicious.
Wayfare pudding is made of plant-based ingredients. It has a base made from organic butter beans and organic oats. Their pudding is free of the top 10 allergens, certified organic, kosher, vegan, and gluten free. It is also free of soy, nuts, and palm oil. I am happy with the ingredient list and feel like this is a healthy alternative to dairy pudding. It does have organic cane sugar, so should be consumed as a treat.
This pudding is smooth and creamy. I thought it had a nice mouthfeel. The texture is slightly thicker than conventional dairy pudding, but feels very similar to what you think of as pudding. The chocolate pudding has a good chocolate flavor from cocoa. The vanilla flavor is mild. I would prefer a stronger vanilla flavor. The butterscotch flavor is my favorite! It is the most flavorful of all three varieties and has a wonderful butterscotch flavor.
You can find WayFare Chocolate, Vanilla, and Butterscotch Puddings at Wegmans, Lucky’s Save Mart, Mom’s Market, Festival Foods, Woodman’s, and Tony’s Fresh Market.

We have been fans of PACT Organic clothes for several years. Their socks are my absolute favorite! In fact I have giftedPact Organic Christmas sock gift packs several times to family members.
Two things I love about PACT Organic is that the fabrics are super soft (you will notice the softness when you wear them) and their clothing is better for both us and the environment. I wrote more about it a few years ago which you can read here.
These pajamas are made of soft, breathable, 100% organic cotton that is made without toxic chemicals and with 91% less water than conventional cotton. Did you know that organic cotton uses 91% LESS water than conventional cotton when produced? I think that is amazing!
PACT Dream Big Pajamas are available in kids’ sizes 18 months to 10. My 9 year old is wearing a size 10 and my 4 year old is wearing a size 5. I ordered up in size so they had some growing room and could get more use out of the pajamas. They are a little loose on my slender boys since I ordered up in size, but they stay on nicely.
These pajamas provide a snug fit for safety, with a pull-on waistband and banded cuffs at the wrists and ankles. They are also made with a tagless label on the back to prevent discomfort and skin irritation. The fabric is prewashed and shrink resistant. They wash well and are so snuggly and soft when they come out of the dryer.
These pajamas are tough too. They hold up to all the wrestling and tumbling in our busy house of four boys.

Have you ever baked with 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil? I love to sauté and roast with it, but haven't used it a lot in baking, except to bake bread. For the Flavor Your Life Campaign, I made this delicious olive oil apple cake which is a new family favorite.
To learn more about the rich history and delicious properties of 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the culinary culture that’s been harvested in Europe for generations, visit Flavor Your Life.
This olive oil apple cake is an Italian classic. A light cake batter infused with apple slices and made with extra virgin olive oil.
Le Stagioni d’ Italia means “the seasons of Italy” in Italian.
About Le Stagioni d’ Italia
• Le Stagioni d’ Italia’s short, fully traceable supply chain is guaranteed sustainable and the great care they take with processing creates exceptional taste.
• 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the first cold pressed olive oil from the first round of extraction of fresh, intact olives. It has not been heated during processing, so it retains its full nutritional value. • Harvested in Italy, it is vegan, gluten free, and contains no additives or preservatives. • It has a robust flavor of artichoke and almond, with a medium bitter and spicy aftertaste, as well as a green, ripe, fruity aroma with a leafy feel. • 100% Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil typically retails for $19.99 for a 500 mL bottle.
With hints of citrus and cinnamon this olive oil apple cake is moist, delicious and perfect served warm or room temperature with a dollop of ricotta cream.
About Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Extra virgin olive oil is made by pressing olive oil, without heat or chemicals; it’s known as the first cold pressed olive oil.
• Olive oils are tested for peroxide values. Lower values indicate fresher oil and more rapid processing. • Extra virgin olive oil is virtually free of acidity, below 0.8%. If the percentage of oleic acid (fatty acid) is too high, it indicates improper production and rancidity. • A panel of trained, expert tasters tests for taste defects and the presence of positive attributes of fruitiness, bitterness, and spiciness. If the oil doesn’t have the signature fruity taste and harmonious balance, it won’t receive an Extra Virgin rating. • Extra virgin olive oil has a high smoking point of 400°F, so it is suitable for cooking and baking. • Between use, store your oil somewhere dark and cool (around 57°F, if possible), not on the counter or near a stove, and never in the refrigerator. Keep the lid screwed on tight, and use your oil within six months of opening. How should you cook with Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
• Experiment with different oils for different occasions.
• Use delicate oils for salad dressings or as a condiment over mild foods, like vegetables, fish, eggs, or potatoes. • Pair robust oils with hearty foods that can stand up to the intense flavor, like steak or spicy soup. • With a high smoking point of 400°F, extra virgin olive oil is suitable for cooking and can enhance any dish by drizzling on as a finisher.
Olive Oil Apple Cake with Ricotta Cream
Recipe Notes: This recipe is adapted from a recipe provided by Flavor your Life. Since it has European origins, the measurements and instructions are different than what I normally publish. I noticed a few discrepancies in the original instructions and reconverted the measurements to the U.S. system. I weighed dry ingredients as needed and then measured them to get accurate U.S. equivalents. The original recipe listed 80 ml as = to 4 Tbsp., however when converted it is actually 5.41 Tbsp. or 16.23 tsp. For this reason, I would measure Extra Virgin Olive Oil using the metric system if possible or measure just under 5 1/2 Tbsp. The original recipe also calls for 1/2 cup ground hazelnuts for which I substituted 1/2 cup almond flour (affiliate link). Cake Ingredients: 5-6 medium apples (any variety) 1 orange 1 cup, 1 Tbsp., and 2 tsp./150 grams all purpose flour 1/2 cup/50 grams almond flour (affiliate link) 1/2 cup/100 grams brown sugar + more for sprinkling on the cake Pinch of salt 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 tsp./10 grams baking powder 2 large eggs 80 ml/5.41 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 3 Tbsp.milk Ricotta Cream Ingredients: 8 oz. ricotta cheese 1 Tbsp. clear honey 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1-3 Tbsp. milk 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. /180 degrees C. 2. Butter a 10 inch springform cake pan. 3. Peel apples and slice thinly, about 16 slices per apple. 4. Zest and juice the orange. 5. Set the zest aside and toss the apples in the orange juice. 6. In a large mixing bowl, combine all purpose flour, almond flour, brown sugar, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and baking powder. Mix well with a whisk. 7. In another bowl, mix the eggs, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, vanilla extract, orange zest, and milk. Beat until thoroughly mixed. 8. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir briefly to combine. 9. Fold in the sliced apples. 10. Spoon the cake batter into the prepared pan. Smooth it out with a spatula. 11. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 12. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. 13. If desired, sprinkle the top with extra brown sugar. 14. Remove from the pan and place on a serving platter. To make the ricotta cream combine the ricotta cheese, honey, vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp. milk. Check the consistency and if desired add 1-2 Tbsp. more milk. We prefer it thicker with only 1 Tbsp. milk. Serve the cake with a dollop of ricotta cream.

Did you know that COVID-19 has increased screen time for kids by 500%? Nearly half of American children spend more than six hours a day in front of a screen. Add in remote learning and this number gets even higher.
I know it can be hard to monitor screen time, especially with so many of us working from home and trying to manage distance learning at the same time. Luckily my kids are back in school, but we went through many long months of them working at home to complete school assignments and attend zoom meetings with their teachers. I found it difficult to monitor three school-aged children and their younger brother when I had my own work to complete and they could easily distract themselves with video games or YouTube videos. I am glad to have Circle Home Plus now, but wish we would have had it then. If the boys go back to remote learning for any reason in the future, Circle Home Plus will be a lifesaver!
Circle Parental Controls (affiliate link) is the simplest way for families to manage screen time and filter content on all their Internet-connected devices, from tablets and smartphones to gaming consoles and smart TVs. I am not the most tech savvy person so I was a little intimidated to set up the Circle Home Plus device, but it was really easy. Once I downloaded the app, I was able to follow the step by step onscreen instructions (which are also included in printed form with the device) to set it up.
Circle Home Plus (affiliate link) has so many useful features. • Age-appropriate filters for different websites and apps (or block content all together) • Time limits for both individual apps and categories of content • Bedtimes that automatically disconnect devices from the Internet • Pause/temporarily turn off Internet-connectivity for a single family member or everyone at the same time • Focus Time to restrict access to certain sites for specific periods of the day—a perfect tool to keep distance learning or homework time on track • Rewards: Reward your child with more screen time or a later bedtime, at the touch of a button • History: Check out visited and filtered sites from the day's activity • Track usage for yourself and your family. This information is insightful if trying to reduce screen time or stay on track with projects for work and school.
• With the Off Time feature, you can set up Off Times when internet is restricted to selected devices for important family times like dinner and game nights.
Circle Home Plus typically retails for $69 for a three-month subscription, $129 for a one-year subscription, or $299 for a lifetime subscription (all plans include the Circle Home Plus device and Circle App access).

LOVE CORN snacks are made with plant-based ingredients, and are vegan, gluten free, Non-GMO Project Verified, kosher, and sugar free.
I love to make charcuterie boards for snacking or for snacky, casual dinners on the weekends. I put LOVE CORN crunchy corn kernels on our last snack board and it was a hit. They add the perfect savory, crunchy snack.
My boys love LOVE CORN! My four year old literally finished half the bag when I took these pictures. My favorite flavor is salt and vinegar. It is so good! In addition to a delicious snack, LOVE CORN would be a great gluten-free alternative to croutons for topping soup and salads.

It's that time of year again when we are all transitioning from the holiday food fest to a healthier routine. For our family that means preparing healthy meals, drinking more water, making exercise a priority, sticking to a bedtime schedule (adults too), and using natural products when possible.
A natural product I have been using is Boiron Acidil, a homeopathic medicine made with sustainably sourced, plant-based active ingredients.
Boiron Acidil is the #1 best-selling heartburn homeopathic medicine in natural food stores. Acidil relieves occasional heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, and bloating.* It's easy to take at home or on the go because you don't need any water. You simply dissolve the tablets under your tongue. They have a pleasant, mild flavor. Adults and children 12 years and up can use Acidil, which I appreciate since I have a 13 year old.
Since we are talking about healthy choices, here is one of my favorite comfort food reboot recipes. I posted this recipe for Million Dollar Spaghetti Squash Casserole last January and it has been one of my most popular recipes on Pinterest ever since.
Remember to keep some Acidil meltaway tablets on hand so you can enjoy your favorite comfort food without the discomfort.
Acidil may be taken before or after meals, whenever symptoms strike. Acidil Meltaway Tablets typically retail for $9.99 to $11.99. You can find them at RiteAid, Walgreens, Sprouts Farmers Market, Whole Foods Market, Vitamin Shoppe, and online at amazon.com, iherb.com, and vitacost.com.
Enter to win an Acidil bundle, which includes a box of Acidil Meltaway Tablets (60 tablets), a branded Boiron apron, and a branded Acidil silicone spoon.
