Curious George PJ Giveaway

There are some days that my husband gets home from work, takes a look at me and the kids, and shakes his head at the fact that we're still in our pajamas. But if we're not going anywhere, why would I get out of my comfortable pj's?

And I'm not the only one who thinks that way around here. Given the opportunity, I'm pretty sure that my kids would happily change from pajamas to pajamas without ever putting on actual clothing. When they're just so comfy and cozy in their pj's, why wouldn't they want to stay that way?

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Giveaway

I had the wonderful opportunity to review Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. I have witnessed the boom of coconut oil on the web but didn't know much about it. To start off this giveaway let me tell you a bit about it and Tropical Traditions as a company.

 

Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil! Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil? 

You can also watch the video they produced about Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil:

 

Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

My Review:

Gluten Free Coconut Flour Banana Muffins

I only use Tropical Traditions' coconut flour, and can't guarantee that the recipes developed using our coconut flour would work with a different coconut flour, because they can vary in protein and fiber content. If the problem was in how the recipe was put together it'd be a different thing. So here it is:

• 1 cup organic coconut flour
• 6 eggs
• 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan salt

So, we're looking at a whole cup of coconut flour (which is a very thirsty flour by the way) and only 2 tablespoons of milk as the "thinning" liquid. The fat (butter and coconut oil in this case) are liquids here, but they act differently then water based liquids and don't help out too much in saturating the flour. The first conclusion is that there isn't enough liquid. That means the batter is too heavy to rise and "mushroom" over properly, and will therefore be very dense and heavy. It will be moist and pretty tasty though, since the fat amount is perfect.

Another red flag is the sweetener amount. Only 3 tablespoons for 12 muffins isn't very much. While you don't want a sickeningly sweet muffin you do want just enough sweetness to bring all the flavors together, instead of leaving it bland. Since we will be increasing the thinning liquid amount, the sweetener will grow blander and will therefore need to be increased as well.

I like my muffins to rise really well (since that is the main downfall of most coconut flour recipes), so I'll add a bit of baking soda. The coconut flour is a heavy flour, so it usually needs more baking soda/powder to get it to rise. Baking powder has a more neutral taste then baking soda, which needs to be countered by the acidity of another ingredient (here it will be the honey). However, I've found that baking powder isn't as potent as baking soda, so you usually have to use more of it, or add a bit of baking soda to help it out.

So that's that. The eggs are fine. Leave them be please; every single one of them is needed to make up for the gluten - don't find out the hard way! Everything else is fine also.

Can't wait until the end of the giveaway to see if you won to try it?  Go here to order now.  They have a variety of different products in addition to coconut oil too.

Travelling with Children

You can never be too careless while travelling, especially with your little children in tow. With your kids around, you always have to be on your guard and on your toes tailing them to be sure they will not be wondering off in a crowded place. Accidents happen in the most unaccepted places and you always have to be on the ready even while enjoying the Boston Bruins Tickets.

Concert and Movie Tickets: Where to buy them

Yes! You obviously know of the ticket booths and ticket outlets. However, if you want it cheap or discounted, chances are, you may have no idea where to buy them. Cheap tickets are now widely available. If you are a big fan of a certain artist like Taylor Swift, you can easily purchase Taylor Swift Tickets online at a discounted price doing some simple steps below.

The first thing that you can do is to visit ticket sellers online. Simply key-in your favorite band or artist in the search box i.e. Zac Brown Band and you will be given a Zac Brown Band Tickets link. These ticket sellers online made purchasing tickets easy and comfortable.

If you are not familiar with online ticket sellers, you can try doing a search. If for instance you want cheap Elton John Tickets, simply visit Google and type Elton John ticket, and you surely will get amazed of the search result.

Other than buying online, you can still buy tickets from a brick and mortar ticket outlet but have to purchase it in bulk to get some discount. Whether you are buying a concert ticket like Dane Cook Tickets or a movie ticket like Spiderman Turn off the Dark Tickets you can easily get a discount if purchased in bulk.

Why I'm Wary of Hospitals

I'm usually wary of hospital because I don't like the smell. It smells so sanitized and too clean.  Here's what I don't like about hospitals

• I'm wary of  sleeping in the hospital bed because I keep thinking how many people died in this bed.
• The scrubs uniform specially the color needs to change. Make it more vibrant..
• The medical technologists who wear lab coat really need to have better bedside manners
• The hospital bills is a very great example.. It's like a taxi meter that wouldn't stop.
• Hospital food is improving but the presentation needs to be updated
• The  scrub uniforms of the nurses in pediatric departments needs to be kiddie friendly.
• There is certainly a level of discomfort associated with any medical procedures however the hospitals should make a concerted effort to eliminate stress in the hospital environment.

The only way to make people feel more comfortable is to have more professionals able to help and alleviate stress in whatever way is determined to be most beneficial. I know first-hand now that the stress associated with illness is one of the worst parts of the experience and it should be addressed first.
