2 Awesome Gluten Free sample companies!

I was at the Gluten and Allergy Free Expo this Sunday working a booth for HMN. We just found out our son probably has a Gluten issue so I was excited to go and try some samples. I tried tons of yummy foods! I wanted to let all of you know about 2 great companies that I found.

 

GoPicnic. www.gopicnic.com They are individually boxed lunches/meals. They have no HFCS, MSGs, artificial colors or trans fats. They have several Gluten Free options. The don't require refrigeration. They are perfect for lunches, traveling, picnicking etc. They had a SUPER good deal on them so I bought a bunch. It is a good way to try new foods too! :) I am going to take a few on our plane trip to Boston in a few weeks. I just went to their website and they are having a sale on several of the gluten free ones. Also there is a contest (and coupon code) if you like them on Facebook.

 

GFree Connect. http://www.gfreeconnect.com/ This company sends you a care package every 3 months with GF samples and coupons. It was a more than half full paper shopping bag of samples plus a stack of coupons!! It is $30 plus shipping each quarter. (He said shipping is like $12)

 

"Each package will include approximately 25 gluten free items to sample, plus valuable coupons - some for free or heavily discounted items, professional/ organization information like celiac centers, health care professionals, support groups, and more. Each quarterly care package will contain different items, so you will enjoy tasting different foods sent directly to your home every three months."

 

It is a great way to try GF foods and not have to waste your money if you don't like something. The founder helped carry my stuff to my car. He told me how his daughter has Celiac and it sucked spending 5,6,7 dollars on a new GF food only to have his daughter take one bite and hate it. This company just launched 5 weeks ago. They sold out of all the packs they brought to the Expo.

 

I was so excited to get soooo many samples of new healthy foods to try. I can't wait to eat them all...oh yeah they are for my son! :)

Whole Foods Film Festival this whole month of April

Whole Foods Market presents the Do Something Reel™ Film Festival, a collection of six provocative, character-driven films focused on passionate people making a world of difference.

From the Coal River Valley of West Virginia to the inner city of Detroit, from vanishing bee populations to the evolution of the National School Lunch Program, from farmers and active everyday citizens to doctors and scientists, the Do Something Reel line-up provides a moving, eye-opening look at how the choices we make can have a huge impact on our bodies, our economy, and our environment. We hope these films will inspire you to reflect on what you're passionate about, and how you can make a difference!

This nationwide traveling festival will be presented in 70+ cities throughout April, in celebration of Earth Month.

Children's Resale shops in and around Milwaukee

Someone asked me about my knowledge of the Milwaukee children's resale shops. I thought I would post it on here and share it with you. This is just my opinion from my experiences at the stores mentioned.

Children’s Orchard (Hwy 100 & National) 11110 W. National Ave West Allis (414) 321-1146 All items are in excellent condition. Great clothing selection. Very friendly staff. Not a lot of big stuff. Sign up for MOMS Club (e-mail) to get $5 coupon. They have a punch card.   Playroom Closet (93rd and Greenfield) 9306 W Greenfield Ave (414) 727-9065 Tons of stuff. Lots of big items. Clothing selection is small.   For Mom and Me (70th and Greenfield) 7046 W. Greenfield ave 414 443-0339 Lots and lots and lots of stuffed crammed into a small space. Prices are a bit high and quality is sometimes skechy. Not everyone likes the man that runs it. If you are nice and friendly to him he will be nice to you. They carry maternity clothes. New to You Kids (North of Southridge Mall) 5020 S. 74th St 414-325-7512 and 3835 N. 124th St Brookfield (Capitol and 124th) 262-783-4778 Ok selection, quality is sometimes sketchy. Employees are not nice or helpful in my opinion and experience at either location. Coupon on website. They have a punch card.   Once Upon A Child (124th and North) 2405 N 124th St, Brookfield (262) 782-5437 Lots of clothes but too many on the racks, makes it really hard to look at them. I find lots of good shoes here for some reason. They have a punch card.   Tuesday's Child (Wauwautosa) 7471 Harwood Ave, Wauwatosa (414) 226-5250 Very small selection. Nice expensive boutique brands but high prices   Heavenly Kidzz (Bay View) 2675 S. Kinnickinnic Ave 414-294-4040 This is under new ownership so I don't really know how it is going so far. They do carry maternity clothes and cloth diapers.   Cutest Kids Consignment (Oak Creek) 8509A South Howell Avenue, Oak Creek 414-459-3328  I have never been there. They are only open Wed-Sat

Did I miss any? What are your thoughts about these stores?
