Peanut butter has always been one of my favorite things.  Ever since having children I’ve become more aware of the ingredients in prejarred peanut butter and have been shocked to find just how many are laden with hydrogenated oils, sodium, sugar, and several other ingredients I have no interest in my children ingesting.  Thankfully Maranatha Nut Butters has offered a peanut butter that’s not only nutritious but also organic- ensuring the best in nutrition and health for your children.

I typically buy organic natural peanut butter but have always been a bit irritated by the typical layer of peanut oil sitting above the layer of actual peanut butter.  Mixing it together can be a chore, and sometimes by the time you reach the bottom of the jar the oils are long gone leaving for super dry hunks of peanut butter which are difficult to spread.  Not only are Maranatha butters premixed but they stay mixed together even sitting on your grocer’s shelf!  No more fighting and spilling oil just to try to whip together a sandwich or snack.

ETot, my 4 year old, was my official assistant in trying out this peanut butter.  He is my peanut butter fan and could happily eat it every day for lunch if allowed. ETot’s opinion was that the peanut butter tasted “very good.”  I agreed with his assessment- creamy with great flavor and none of the extra supersweetness from ingredients I don’t care for.  Because it was premixed it was also very easy for him to spread on top of crackers or bread.

Maranatha  peanut butter has no preservatives so it defnitely had a freshness you simply can’t taste in the more shelf stabilized versions .  I definitely recommend trying Maranatha nut butters for an organic, low salt, low sugar, healthy form of protein for your child’s day or even your own.

We’ve finally reached a state of sibling nirvana- the Eboys are now sharing a room together.  They love doing storytime at night and spend time playing together in the morning but both have one issue we’ve been working to resolve.  Neither really likes a fully dark room while they sleep and even though we’ve had multiple nightlights, bought flashlights galore, and left the closet light on at times we continually searched for a more energy effecient solution.

SYLVANIA PalPODzzz are wonderful rechargeable nightlights which will light the way for a great night of sleep for your little ones.  PalPODzzz have led lights which are extremely energy efficient, cool to the touch, and quite “green” for parents who are looking for an inexpesive environmentally friendly option for their children.  No more replacing flashlight batteries or dealing with lightbulbs going out, just recharge the uniquely designed PalPODzzz and your child has light to last the night.

Both EBoys were thrilled with the rocket design of their PalPODzzz.  They imagine blasting off into space each night as they drift to sleep.  And as a mother of two very energetic children I’m pleased to say the PalPODzzz are very very durable.  Our 4 year old ETot has taken the rocket ship with him throughout our house on many adventures (many loud, banging, smashing adventures which typically leave his flashlights in pieces) and it still works great without any scratches or damage.

If your child needs a nightlight and you are tired of replacing batteries, leaving closet or bathroom lights on to waste energy, or hoping bulbs don’t randomly go out the the Syvania PalPODzzz are a very durable, energy efficient, and fun solution to provide a great night of lighted sleep.  Our sincere gratitude to the Parent Bloggers Network for providing a wonderful option for a peaceful night of sleep.
