Tupperware Smart Steamer Review and Giveaway

A good friend of mine recently started her venture with Tupperware, (and has been doing quite well I might add!) and asked me to review the Tupperware Smart Steamer. Knowing what I do for a living she thought this would be a great time saver for me and boy was she right!

What Tupperware Has to Say

Steaming is one of the healthiest ways to prepare food because it retains nutrients, fatty acids and vitamins while preserving color, texture and flavor.

How it Works

The Smart Steamer blocks microwaves from cooking foods. Instead, microwaves are directed to the Water Tray, causing the water to boil and steam to rise for perfectly steamed foods. Two-tiered system lets you steam one or two foods at once.

It really works! You really can make chicken and fresh veggies in just 15 minutes!

My Thoughts

What I was really impressed with is that I have made chicken in the microwave before and usually the chicken dries out and gets hard, this steamer prevents that. The chicken was tender and moist and completely cooked. I've only just begun understanding all of what I can make with this steamer, its very versatile. At any rate, I love that I can make the kids steamed veggies and chicken in less time than my old steamer would take to steam just the veggies and less dishes to wash! 

At $167.00 I found this item to be on the pricey side, I do have to keep in mind though that this is a Tupperware item, which likely means that its going to last until I'm an 80 year old woman and food comes in those futuristic little food capsules where you just add water. Luckily for anyone wanting purchase this item, its on sale for $83.00 for the month of March, which really does make this item worth every penny! 

The Giveaway!

Chantelle would like to give one lucky winner a $50.00 gift certificate for Tupperware products bought through her!

Sweet Pea Pocket Diaper Review {Giveaway!!}

If you have never heard of Sweet Pea Diapers you should! Sweet Pea Diapers carries a variety of cloth diapers and accessories, including the Sweet Peat Pocket Diaper, which I believe is a new class of cloth diaper all in its own.

The Sweet Pea Pocket Diaper design is common, while unique at the same time. Like many other cloth diapers it is made up of a PUL outer layer, a micro fleece liner, and a micro fiber insert. While this may sound identical to other one size pocket diapers there are some unique twists to the diaper that make it superior. The first major difference is the front AND back pocket.

This allows you to remove the insert or stuff the diaper with easy access to either side. The great thing about the insert though is that you don't have to remove it. Just throw the diaper into the wash and the insert(s) will come out on it's own. The diaper comes with two inserts, one new born insert and a larger size adjustable insert. That's right, I said size adjustable! Just like the shell of the diaper uses snaps to change the size of the diaper, the insert does as well.

The PUL and the micro fleece are made very well. This diaper is high quality and for a great price ($16.95 CND at Sweet Lil Dimples Baby Shop.) This one size diaper also includes cross snaps to ensure that it will fit your baby from about 8 to 35lbs. Sweet Pea Pocket Diapers also stand behind their product for longer than most other companies that I have seen. The elastics, sewing and any manufacturer dysfunction come with a six month warranty, while the snaps come with a one year warranty.

The absorbancy of this diaper is amazing! I have never had a single leak. To really test out the diaper I put just the infant insert into the pocket. (Please keep in mind that my little one is just about seven months old.) He lasted a couple of hours in the diaper with just the infant insert before it was time for him to go for a bath. I am sure he could have gone longer, the trim insert just held up that well! This diaper is perfect for night time. The infant insert can be added to the front or back easily for extra nighttime protection.

While there are many places to find this diaper, my favourite online shop to find Sweet Pea products is Sweet Lil Dimples Baby Shop. The store owner really believes in what she sells and that helping her customers is always most important. The shop has a great, and ever growing variety of cloth diapers, cloth diaper accessories and other child-mom friendly products. She ensures that she tests out each and every product and will always give an honest review of how she feels about the products.

Sweet Lil Dimples would like to give another set of lucky parents the opportunity to try out a Sweet Pea Pocket Diaper! Here are the contest rules:

Mandatory Entry: Go to Sweet Lil Dimples Baby Shop and tell me of another item from them that you would like to try.

Funny Fathers With Baby Gourmet {Giveaway!}

Baby Gourmet and Definition of a Wife would like to send out a salute to fathers all around the world for Father's Day!

Growing up with my father was a lot of fun. He always had something to say that would make us laugh, and later when we were older, make us groan. His corny sense of humor has rubbed off on us over the years. One of the funniest stories from our childhood would have to be when my brother was born. As my Dad was changing him my brother pooped. It went flying across the room nearly hitting my dad's best friend that was there to see the new addition to the family. As a man with no kids he was quite scared!


We want to hear you funny stories too! One winner will be selected to win a gift basket courtesy of Baby Gourmet!! The best story all sites participating will be chosen from Baby Gourmet's Facebook   page and given a year’s supply of Baby Gourmet!!

Contest will run until Sunday June 19, 2011 at 7pm CST. Winner will then be selected via www.random.org and be notified. Winner will have 48hrs to respond or a new winner will be selected.

How to enter:

Mandatory Entry : Tell us a funny "Dad taking care of kids" story either from your own child hood or something that has happened with your significant other.
