Thanks to Mom Central we got to try out Breyers’ new Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream Bars.
David and I picked out the Triple Chocolate Chip flavor, and they did not disappoint. We snacked on the bars after playing outside on a very hot afternoon. They were refreshing, delicious, and creamy.

I was surprised how good the Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream Bars are, because they’re low in both calories and fat. I usually don’t like light ice cream. But these bars really were yummy.
I can’t find anything bad to say about the Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream Bars, except that I wish there were more than six in a pack.
The bars also come in Chocolate Covered Strawberry, and Vanilla Carmel Chip flavors. Breyers has new Ice Cream Sandwiches that are low in fat and calories as well. Those come in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Carmel Brownie, and Vanilla Fudge Brownie.
I have four coupons to giveaway, each good for 1 free pack of either the Breyers Smooth and Creamy Ice Cream Bars or Sandwiches.
To enter just a leave a comment on this post telling me which flavor you’d like to try.
The giveaway ends at 11:59 p.m. August 4th.
Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Breyers and received products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

The randomly chosen winner of the Kung Zhu price pack is Aparna, Comment #60 – “I would like to win this for my daughter. She just loves zhu zhu pets.”
Zhu Zhu Pets have added a new line of products called Kung Zhu Pets, and thanks to Mom Select David and I got to try them out.
It was like Christmas in June when our big box of Kung Zhu goodies arrived. The stack of toys was as tall as David.

We received two Battle Hamsters, two sets of Battle Armor, a Battle Tank, the Ninja and Samurai Training Grounds, the Dragon Hammer, Missile Attack Tower and a Battle Arena.

The hamsters wear their armor and go through the training grounds, then into the battle arena where they duke it out.
David is only five, and he caught on really fast how to put together all the different pieces, and get the hamsters to go through the track.
We’ve had the Kung Zhu pets for about two weeks now, and David still enjoys playing with them.
The only problem we’ve had with the products is that the rubber traction on the wheels of one of the Zhu Zhu pets keeps falling off. I am able to fix it, but it comes off again after playing for a while.
The Giveaway
I have a similar stack of Kung Zhu products to give away to one Mommie Daze reader. The winner will receive two Battle Hamsters, two sets of Battle Armor, a Battle Tank, two Training Grounds, the Dragon Hammer, Missile Attack Tower and a Battle Arena.

I recently tried out new Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport laundry detergent.
According the the manufacture Proctor and Gamble, Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport is designed to take out tough stains and odors. Thanks to special “freshness” technology clothes washed in the the detergent also continue to release a fresh scent each time you move.
Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport is really designed for workout and athletic clothing. Since my boys are just five and one we don’t have a lot of smelly gym clothes yet. What I do have are food stained clothes which can be just as bad as grass stained baseball pants. I also have a lot of musty towels, since they’re always ending up in a wet pile on the bathroom floor.
First I washed a load of smelly towels in the Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport. These were towels I washed once already with my regular laundry soap. They even went through the dryer with fabric softener, and they still smelled musty. But after being washed with the Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport, they came out of the dryer smelling great.
I also washed a load of my one-year-old’s clothes with the Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport. Wade is the messiest eater I’ve ever seen. Even with a bib he still manages to get his dinner all over himself. The detergent did take out all of the food stains.
I was happy with the performance of Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport. For me the only drawback is that it’s not hypoallergenic. I can’t use it to wash my own clothes, because of an allergy I have to most soaps and detergents.
Target Gift Card and Tide Coupon Giveaway
Tide wants you to try out the new Tide Plus Febreeze Freshness Sport also. They’re giving away to two MommieDaze readers a $10 Target Gift Card along with a coupon redeemable at Target stores for up to $5 in savings on Tide Plus Febreze Freshness Sport laundry detergent, C9 by Champion, and FebrezeĀ® Sport Fabric Refresher.

Mirra is a new line of Beauty products that combines natural ingredients with proven scientific technologies.
Just launched, the Mirra product line includes shampoos, conditioners, hair styling products, body washes and mists, facial and skin care lotions, cleansers and cleansing cloths, eye firming and age defying creams, and cosmetic brushes.

The natural ingredients in Mirra products include olive oil, aloe leaf juice, cranberry, bamboo, honey and chicory root extracts.
Mirra products are exclusively available in the beauty care aisle of stores that are part of the Kroger family.
I was sent a selection of Mirra products to try out for two weeks. I received shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hair gel and body wash to test.
The first thing I noticed was the scent. I like the way all the products smell. They have a pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering. I don’t like products that are too perfumey.
The other thing I like about Mirra is that the products are made with natural ingredients. I am allergic to chemicals in most standard beauty care products. I did use the products for two weeks, and didn’t haven any reaction to them.
The over-all performance of the products was great. The hair products left my hair soft and manageable. The body wash and lotions moisturized my dry winter skin.
Mirra Coupon
You can download a coupon for $5 off when you purchase any two Mirra products.

To introduce their new Dry Max technology, Pampers is giving away a coupon good for a free 1 week supply of their all new Cruisers with Dry Max diapers and a Liz Lange Diaper Clutch to one lucky MommieDaze reader.
Pamper’s says the Dry Max technology is their biggest innovation in 25 years. Dry Max diapers have a thinner core that gives baby more freedom to move around, but can still lock in wetness for up to 12 hours.
Pampers sent me a package of the new Cruisers diapers with Dry Max to try out with Wade. I definitely noticed that the diaper was less bulky. The fit was good, and most importantly there were no leaks. The diapers still have Pamper’s soft cloth-like feel, and baby fresh sent.

I love these winter hats on their site. Winter’s winding down, but I just may need to order one for next year.
Cover My Hair.com sent me these two headbands to review.

I really like the wide headband with the elastic strap that’s hidden under your hair. Can you see in the photo that the strap is adjustable? One of the reasons I don’t wear headbands very often is because it seems like they don’t fit right. They’re either too tight or too loose. Not with the adjustable strap. I was able to get it stay on, and still be comfortable. The thinner headband with the flower on it isn’t really my style. But it was comfortable also when I tried it on.
