There are four varieties of Happy Day Brands Gluten Free Pasta.  Let’s start with the amazing flavor, though.  I love the flavor.  My daughter has a gluten allergy, so these are perfect for her.  We cooked with them the other day.  They were delicious.  Not only are these noodles Gluten free, but they are also organic. There are four varieties, as stated above.  This includes penne, spaghetti, mini shells, and rotini.  I tried the penne.  It has great flavor, so I’m sure they are all alike.  These noodles taste like they are regular.  Only you will know they are gluten free. Under the conditions of this product being Gluten Free, and Organic, the price is incomparably great.  You won’t find any pasta that tastes as much like regular pasta, as the Happy Day Brands.  You will love it.  And the price is incomparable. At Happy Day Brands we believe in eating good and doing good. Our original plant based pasta is made from rice, quinoa and amaranth. It is certified gluten free, organic, vegan, kosher and produced in our dedicated allergen-friendly facility. Our innovative recipe makes for the perfect pasta…we’re talking taste and texture that you’d expect from a forkful of…

I love Zak Designs new Planeterra™ cups.  They are great.  When in landfill, they will break down in 3 to 5 years.  My son, and daughter, love drinking out of them.  I gave one to my son-in-law to be, and he’s using it too!  They say the cups are magnificent.  Jacob, my 9 year old, will only use these cups now.  He loves them so much. There is so much more to Earth Day!  There is Planet Earth, as you’ve never seen it before, the complete series.  My 9 year old was intrigued, watching this.  He’s learned a lot!  He loves the fact that it captures rare action, impossible locations and intimate moments of the planet’s best-loved wildest and most elusive creatures. Sprout has pencils you can plant, with seeds in their top.  These are great, and so environmentally friendly.  You can plant just about anything.  Take a look on Amazon to see more. I received Plantable Earth Paper, as well.  It’s so easy to plant, can’t wait to get it started, today! For these companies and more, follow This Frugal Family on Social Media!

I love Welch’s Fruit Snacks, and for Valentine’s Day, they are in a heart shaped box.  This is so cool, my little one, age 9, loved when he received them, yesterday!  He said there’s 3, nice sized bags, in each box.  He loves fruit snacks, and he ate 1 bag.  I didn’t mind, though.  I’ll share!  He said they were so fruity, and just “great”.   Welch’s Fruit Snacks always seem to outdo themselves.  I love this for Valentine’s Day, it would make your child’s heart melt.  You can order them through Amazon, and get them personalized!  This would be so Sweet!  Order today, so you can get them in time for Valentine’s Day, next Sunday…that’s only 7 days from now!

Joyin is my New Favorite Shop, for Valentine’s Day products.  There’s so much to choose from, and they are so timely with their shipping.  My son received an amazing pack of Funny Scratch-off Joke Valentines, to give to his friends.  He loves them, and wants to open them all, I of course told him not to.  I want to share them with those close to us.  Even though there’s 36 cards, they’ll be fun to give out.  Even the envelopes are cool! Joyin got it completely right, with this Holiday.  I love these neat little cards.  And, so much more from Joyin.  Jump on over to their site, and order yours today, to get in time for the BIG day!  Valentine’s Day is only 8 days away.  Get them there, with time to spare, by ordering today!
