I just had my 1st order delivered from NakedWines minutes ago. I do love wine, and I do love getting goods delivered to my door, so I think I’m going to really love this new discovery! I had a coupon for $100 off a case on my 1st order, and it’s my understanding anyone can use this referral link below will get the same $100 off coupon code as well. I ordered a case of mixed red & white, 12 bottles came to $80 after the $100 off, just a little over $6/bottle, and they’re from all over the world! No, not organic unfortunately… Then they have a program where you invest $40/month which the wine makers in the program can use, but you can also use it to buy wine anytime you want. I’m still looking into that program more to understand it fully & decide if I want to go for it.  I’m in a waiting line for that (it takes about a month to get in the program), but here’s the concept (from an email from them):

“The wine industry is broken, and you’re helping to fix it. Right now, the two most important people in the wine business are getting screwed; you and the winemaker.

You probably didn’t know it but you’ve been paying too much for wine. Way too much. And at the same time, winemakers have been getting a bum deal.
So who’s been making all the money?

The US has a unique problem – the wine industry is controlled by a massive network of middle men. Most states have actually written laws to protect these middle men, forcing independent winemakers to go through them.”

So the idea is that we’re buying straight from the wine makers. Thought some of you may be interested!

Kiddiebite Silicone Divided Tray Review

It always excites me to receive messages from Momtrepreneur’s in my group! I had this message from Denise:  Kiddiebites is a made in the USA children’s silicone dinnerware company.  We are currently the only company making children’s silicone plates in the USA!  Silicone is a durable and safer alternative to plastic tableware.  Unlike plastic, silicone is inert and will not leach chemicals into food. We just celebrated the launch of our first product, a Flexible Divided Plate Set.   Our silicone and pigments are both BPA, BPS, lead, PVC, and phthalate free.  They are made with FDA approved, 100% food grade and medical grade silicone.  Our products contain no plastic fillers, unlike other competing brands.  Both our silicone and pigment, as well as our plates themselves, are made in the USA.  Our plates are microwave & dishwasher safe and virtually indestructible.  They are easy to stack and clean, and are designed with an angled edge to help toddlers use their own spoon. 

 

By the time I received this message, my kiddos were 3 & 5 already, so we were past choosing our 1st platters. But for those of you in that process, the Kiddiebites is a good option to consider! Glass is always my 1st choice, but I’ve heard from many of you over the years who don’t feel comfortable with glass. I do have hesitations with heating silicone, in the oven for example. I’m not convinced it’s completely inert. But for eating cool/cold foods off of, I’m not nearly as concerned about any possible leaching.

I so appreciate the motivation & dedication of those like Denise amongst us. Follow your passion! 

Currently, Amazon is the only place Denise is selling these. I hope to be able to offer her product in future buying club orders!
