Brooklyn5and10 Review & GIVEAWAY (closed)

Brooklyn5and10 has such a great selection of fresh, unique, and trend-setting items!

Something that I have always wanted in my home was an herb garden.  No more heading out to the grocer to pick up so-called "fresh" herbs or having to buy a huge pack of something that you just need a little of!  That's why I was so thrilled when Brooklyn5and10 sent me their adorable Half Pint Garden as well as some of their Matchstick Garden packs!

The Half Pint Garden is a fun herb growing kit that comes in a little milk carton package.  Inside there is a ceramic container, 3 different packets of herb seeds, and peat pellets.  All you have to do is add water, carefully sow the little seeds, and place in a warm and sunny window sill.  Before you know if you have basil, thyme, or mint right in the comfort of your home.  Not only did I love the cute packaging which I thought would make for such a cute gift, but the white ceramic container is so fresh and clean and would look great in any kitchen!  I couldn't believe how easy and simple the herb garden was to do and instantly regretted not getting one before now!

The other amazing product I got from them, the Matchstick Garden Packs, was also a blast to have as well!  Super ingenious, this each little matchbook contains matchsticks lined with tiny seeds.  All you need to do is tear one of the matchsticks off (they don't really ignite) and plant it face down in some soil (the tip with the seeds goes down in the dirt).  Give it water, sun, and a little love...and tada--fresh herbs!  You can buy different herb matchbook sets.  I got the basil, chives, parsley, and thyme one!   Just like the Half Pint Garden, the Matchstick Garden Packs were very easy to use and has such an incredibly rewarding outcome!

I am hooked on all the new fresh herbs I have and have been making several yummy recipes to use them in.  Another plus that you might not think of is the incredible smell!  I am really loving the mint right now which is perfect for the holiday season!

BUY IT:

Head over to the Brooklyn5and10 website to check out all of their unique gifts and purchase some of your own

- A Coupon for Hunt’s Tomatoes

Using my kit and the Everyday Kitchen Tips I found on the PAM website, I was able to cook a variety of things including caseroles, muffins, cupcakes, paninis, grilled cheese sandwiches, homemade breads, and more!  Each meal item came out perfect!  There was no sticking to anything!  I also liked that I didn't need to use butter for our tortillas and bread when we made grilled cheese, paninis, and more!

So, for the holidays with the new and improved PAM "not only will every meal be picture-perfect, but you’ll have more time to enjoy your food and spend less time soaking, scrubbing and cleaning in the kitchen."

Rally for Recess: Danimals Giveaway!

In the past twenty years, children have lost an average of 8 hours of recess a week, and some schools no longer provide play time for students. According to the American Academy of Pediatricians, the lack of play time is a national crisis leading to a growing epidemic: childhood obesity.

Rally for Recess is a national initiative designed to create healthy competition, pitting school against school. Five schools have the opportunity to win new playground equipment and an all-day recess celebration!


Danimals is committed to childhood health and wellness, which starts with good nutrition and an active lifestyle. Through February 8, 2012, purchasers can find codes on Danimals packaging to enter and register. The top school in each of five categories with the most codes registered wins!


For more information, visit: RallyforRecess.com



When I think about recess going it away it makes me feel sick to my stomach.  I simply can't fathom the ramifications of taking away physical activity from our children's day.   Children NEED PLAY!  Let's work hard to make sure recess is not something of the past!


To celebrate Rally for Recess, one lucky RBM reader will receive a 6 pack of Danimals Yogurt! Thanks so much to the sponsor and here is how to enter...

Happy 35th Anniversary Pop Rocks...Giveaway!

I am pretty sure I don't know anyone who has not heard of the fun, popping candy, Pop Rocks.  Pop Rocks were HUGE when I was a kid and were not only yummy and fun to eat but surrounded by the possiblity of "danger".  The word around my little private school was that if you had pop rocks and soda together you would explode which was the rumored fate of little Mikey from the Life cereal ads (both just rumors I assure you!!).  In any case, Pop Rocks have always been a favorite of mine which was why I was SO excited to be included in their 35th Anniversary celebration!




Pop Rocks are 35 years old and in celebration of this milestone they are re-introducing their "retro" flavor....Grape!! 

Grape was an original Pop Rocks flavor but has not been available for nearly 3 decades!  I was lucky enough to be sent some Grape Pop Rocks to sample with A&W and they were as yummy as I remembered!  A&W had never had Pop Rocks before and they thought it was hilarious the way they popped and exploded in their mouths.  Let's face it...candy is pretty great but when you add the fun aspect of a mini mouth explosion you can't go wrong!  Happy Anniversary, Pop Rocks!  I am sure we will still be enjoying your yumminess for many more years!

In celebration of their 35th Anniversary, Pop Rocks is giving one lucky RBM reader a 24 pack of Pop Rocks and a limited edition Pop Rocks backpack (which can't be purchased in stores!).  Thanks so much to Pop Rocks and here is how to enter...
