Wet-Nap Hand Wipes Go from Garden to Kitchen in a Snap #ShowUsYourMess #PMedia #Ad

July 28, 2014 by 1,688 Comments

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV”

My family has FINALLY grown a successful, albeit small, garden. I loved planning and planting and watching my baby seedlings grow into mature plants producing vegetables and feeding my family. It’s really therapeutic. It’s also really dirty!! Thankfully, I recently discovered Wet-Nap Hand Wipes at my local Walmart!

There are times when I run out to pick some veggies JUST for fixing dinner. On a busy evening, I need to be able to pick, clean the veggies and cook all in quick order. Wet-Nap Hand Wipes help me do just that. They are thick enough that they do a great job of removing dirt without tearing. They also offer antibacterial wipes that will remove germs along with the dirt. So I can quickly go from garden to kitchen in a snap.

I found Wet-Nap hand wipes in the soap aisle of Walmart. In some stores they may be found in the aisle with the napkins and other paper goods. I made sure to snag this coupon for .55 0ff any Wet-Nap product before I headed to Walmart. Every little bit helps when you’re trying to save! Combine the printable coupon with Walmart’s already low prices and you have a pretty darn good deal!

I was glad to find the anti-bacterial option!! This meant I could skip handwashing from time to time, or at least delay it a bit. Even with organic gardening, there’s still some gross stuff to be found on the plants sometimes. Wet-Naps helps make sure my hands are free of both germs and dirt so I can cook my daily harvest without hesitation. Some nights, it’s my saving grace!

Wet-Nap has improved their wipes!

Wet-Nap wipes are softer than before
Wet-Nap wipes are also stronger
Wet-Nap wipes now moisturize with aloe

These improvements are what make them so great for use after gardening. I need a tough wipe that does the job but doesn’t leave my skin dry and tight. I also love that you can buy them in the canister, in the pop up container or the individual packets. Those really come in handy for on the go! I just keep a few in my purse. Never fails, when out and about — someone makes a mess!

These are perfect for anytime, but especially in the summertime. We love being outdoors, and since the boys love fishing (who am I kidding?? I love it too!!) we always take them with us. Dry towels just don’t do the trick when you have wormy dirty fingers and hands! You gotta have something tough and moist that can kill the germs and get all the yuck off!

How would Wet-Nap Hand Wipes help your family?

Curbing My Summer Sweet Tooth with #JuicyFruitFunSide #Cbias #Shop

July 23, 2014 by 365 Comments

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

Losing weight is usually a goal I have before summer. This year I was totally off the weight loss wagon and not interested in jumping back on. But a trip to Atlanta and some other events made me realize I really need to get back to making healthier choices. So, I jumped at the chance to use Juicy Fruit gum to help curb my sweet tooth during all of the Summer activities we have going on. Thanks to #CollectiveBias for sponsoring this shop and helping to satisfy my sweet tooth!

From day trips and work trips to lazy days in the sun and even some poolside fun, I am almost always on the go doing SOMETHING. So, when I find down time I am normally looking for something to snack on because my meals have been lacking, or nonexistent. Not a good habit to have. Thanks to some new products from juicy fruit, I get to show off my #JuicyFruitFunSide! Juicy Fruit chewing gum was a favorite of mine, as a kid. I am thrilled to introduce the brand to my kids in a fresh, fun way!

The new sugarfree soft chew gum format is packaged in a bottle to make sharing easy and fun for the entire family. It’s also super portable. I can throw it right into my tote bag and hit the road! Juicy Fruit Fruity Chews are available in two flavors, Juicy Fruit Original and Juicy Fruit Strawberry. Juicy Fruit Fruity Chews will be available nationwide in a 40-count bottle (MSRP $3.49). I found them right near the checkout at WalMart. This is uber convenient for me as I usually am looking for something, anything, by the time I am unloading my cart at the checkout.

As bubble gum is the No. 1 fun gum format, I am so thrilled to have found Juicy Fruit Bubble Gum!!! It offers a great bubble blowing experience that kids and adults both love. Flavor varieties will include Juicy Fruit Original and Juicy Fruit Sweet Strawberry. Juicy Fruit Bubble Gum will be available at retailers nationwide in a five-count chunk (MSRP $0.79). My kids LOVE the bubble gum format best. It’s fruity and chewy and bubble blowy! I know, that’s not a word. But it fits. I like to pop a piece of this gum as well. It’s just fun!

Want a chance to check out the new Juicy Fruit options? Great news! There will be in store demos at Walmart stores around the county. Here are the details:

July 25-27, 11:00am-4:00pm
August 1-3, 11:00am-4:00pm on Friday and Saturday and 1:00-6:00 on Sunday

Don’t miss the chance to see what the #JuicyFruitFunSide is all about.

A Taste of the East with #TastyBite

July 18, 2014 by 1,982 Comments

This post brought to you by Tasty Bite. All opinions are 100% mine.

The Tasty Bite brand was launched in 1995. Almost 20 years later, they have more than 40 Indian, Asian, and rice products. My family has a preference for the Asian meals and rice products. It’s so easy to open a pouch, set it in the microwave for a minute, or so, and then enjoy all of the bold flavors with none of the hassle. They can be cooked on the stove too. You won’t be disappointed with the flavors, ease of cooking and quick meals that you can prepare with all that Tasty Bite offers!

The Tasty Bite meals are perfect for putting together a quick family dinner, even on the busiest nights. I let everyone pick a favorite and, in less than 5 minutes, we can all sit down to eat together. No slaving over a hot stove. No shopping around for all of the needed spices and ingredients to make, what could be, complicated dishes.

I have to say that my, personal, favorite was the Stir Fried Brown Fried Rice. It’s always been a favorite of mine when we go out to eat. I even learned to make it at home. But, being able to whip it up in a minute or so is NICE! I can eat it as a meal but it’s also great as a side dish. I can imagine it paired with leftover chicken or beef to make the most of leftovers while saving time and money. You just can’t beat that! We opt for brown rice, over white, because it’s healthier. It’s super nice to find it in a convenient and tasty meal that I already know and love!

Tasty Bite also offers a Tandoori Rice product that is equally as yummy! The flavor is bold and there is a subtle sweetness that makes it oh so good!! I highly recommend it as a Indian food starter, if you’re not used to the cuisine. This would also make a great side dish. I think it would be FABULOUS to combine a number of the products available from Tasty Bite to make one big meal with many offerings from India or Asia.

Other than my personal favorites, Tasty Bite has MANY other dishes available. They feature over 40 products. There are 19 Indian dishes, 10 Asian noodle dishes and 12 rice dishes. That’s a whole lotta flavor for you, in under 2 minutes each. Another great thing about Tasty Bite is they use ingredients I can pronounce!! They aren’t packed with chemicals and preservatives. No GMOs, no MSG. These are REAL foods REAL fast. Also, you can grab these delicious dishes across the country at your favorite stores like like Whole Foods, Costco, Kroger, and Sprouts. find at a store near you

Check out the VTech Safe&Sound Video Baby Monitor!

Being able to keep all eyes on 3 kids 24/7 is tough. Especially when they all have a mind of their own and I’m trying to cook, clean, or even just go to the bathroom by myself for 2 minutes. Forget trying to take a shower alone! Since I don’t literally have eyes in the back of my head, I’ve always depended on a baby monitor. I had the old school ones, until very recently!

I am in LOVE with the VTech Safe&Sound Pan and Tilt video baby monitor! This baby ROCKS my SOCKS! I’m so grateful that I have the chance to have one because it’s saving my sanity and it allows me to unwrap these children from around my legs ALL day long!

1. Monitor kids that share a bedroom
2. Talk-back intercom (allows baby to hear your voice in the middle of the night)
One awesome feature is that the camera zooms up to 2x and tilts 124 degrees up and down so I can see both of the younger kids who share a bedroom. I can see the baby in his crib and then, pan the room up to 270 degrees side-to-side so I can see kiddo #2 in his toddler bed!

The talk option is probably my favorite feature because the 2 year old loves to sing himself to sleep. If he wakes up in the middle of the night, momma can sing him back to sleep. Ohh, and I can keep an eye on the room temperature too!! How awesome is that?!

3. Monitor playtime without constantly checking in
4. Keep an eye on baby while you’re outside
Momma can enjoy some quiet TV time alone now! The kids can play in their room and I don’t have to get up 15 times to check in on them. I can see them from my new handy dandy monitor. Oh, and my oldest 2 and I can go outside to play while the baby is napping and I can still see and hear him. It makes a momma feel better to know she can see her baby 24 hours a day!

5. Vibrating Sound Alert (doesn’t wake up the whole house)
At bedtime, when it’s peaceful and quiet – I can mute the video baby monitor and and still be alerted to noise levels in the kids’ room with the vibrating sound alert. I love that because I can tell there’s noise going on yet it won’t wake daddy up! 5am comes awful early for him!

We’ve always been huge fans of Vtech. Now we can add the VTech Safe&Sound video monitor to the list of things we love! If you’re looking for a new baby monitor or buying one as a gift, I highly recommend this one!! One other thing I hadn’t mentioned. You can add up to 4 cameras and monitor all 4 from the same video monitor! That’s perfect for large families!

Rodan & Fields Skincare Produces Crazy Awesome Results

April 12, 2014 by Jenni 1,967 Comments

I was blessed with good skin as a teenager. I never had big issues with acne or major breakouts. Yes, I had the occasional “OH MY Gosh, look at the size of that crater!” moments but overall – I was lucky!

Until the mid-30’s hit.

Enter in dry patches, redness and oh dear….the fine lines. I don’t know what’s so “fine” about them. I think they SUCK!

One piece of beauty advice that your momma or grandma probably gave you – I know it’s the one mine gave me…

Take good care of your skin NOW. It’ll thank you later!

Brandi, one of my girlfriends that I graduated high school with was yammering on and on – on Facebook about how awesome this stuff was that she was using. She actually loved it so much that she decided to stop teaching so she could stay home with her son and start selling it! I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I had her send me some goodies to try out.

It’s called Rodan + Fields……and I {heart} it. Alot. Rodan + Fields are the names of these 2 rocking awesome dermatologists that created the line of products. Brilliant ladies, I tell you!

They have 4 different skin scare regimens along with some other really popular products that are fantastic (including this thing that sucks dead skin off your face…more about that in just a bit)!!! Below is a guide of sorts that shows you what each regimen does. There’s Redefine, Unblemish, Reverse, and Soothe. The regimen I’m on right now is Reverse.

Just after the first few uses, I could tell a drastic difference in my skin. The dry patches started going away and my face just felt good. Like, all I wanted to do was touch my face – good. Now that I’ve been using it for about a month, I can tell a HUGE difference. My redness is evening out and my complexion is more like it used to be when I was younger.

I’m really excited about that because by the time summer is in full swing, I won’t have to wear foundation!!! I’ve heard so many stories of women being able to go “foundation free” when using Rodan + Fields. I cannot wait for that!! Do you know how freeing that is?! I hate it when my face melts and foundation is pooled around me, when it’s 200 degrees outside. There’s nothing pretty about that!!!

Below is an awesome before and after photo of a gal named Laura! This is after 2 months of using the Reverse regimen, along with the eye cream and one use of the Macro Exfoliator from Rodan & Fields!

Ok. Let me tell you about this Macro Exfoliator! It’s this really fancy shmancy digital handheld exfoliator that literally SUCKS the dead skin off of your face and neck. It’s the bomb – dot com!!! I’ve used it twice and both times, crazy amounts of dead skin crud came off of my face.

This is the crud that came off. You see all that white stuff???? That’s DEAD SKIN! Gaaaa-rosssss!!!!

You can compare Rodan & Fields to other skin care brands. I’ve used other brands like Clinique and my most recent skin care routine was Clarins. Rodan + Fields products cost less than BOTH of those brands and the results were much better. You just get a lot more bang for your buck!!

Rodan + Fields is becoming more and more popular, even among the celebrity crowd. LeAnn Rimes and Brittany Spears use it, and Oprah featured it as one of her favorite things! LeAnn Rimes just hosted a business launch party for her friend this weekend and Brittany Spears’ mom is a consultant! The Macro Exfoliator has gotten so much free press from being featured in mags by editors choosing it as one of the best at-home beauty tools!

Turning Rodan & Fields into a career…

Brandi shared her story with me. I knew she was a school teacher before, but I had no idea at the time that she was able to replace her income with Rodan & Fields. Here’s her story…

“I was looking for something I could do in part-time hours that could give me and my family financial freedom! In the few short months since starting with Rodan & Fields I have replaced my teaching salary. I do not devote more than 10 hours a week to R&F, but the payout is so amazing! This business has been such a blessing to my family and I!”

If you want to learn more about the products OR the business aspect of Rodan & Fields, you can contact Brandi. Here is her business card.

Brandi is also offering an awesome promotional deal right now! Anyone that orders from this link and orders as a preferred customer will get a free lip Micro-Dermabrasion Stick (valued at $17). With becoming a preferred customer, you’ll also get 10% off any order and free shipping 12 times a year!!

The best part about Rodan & Fields, besides the awesome results, is that they have a 60 day money back gaurantee. If, for whatever reason, in the first 60 days you’re not seeing any results you can get your money back. I don’t know about you….but I just think that’s awesome! We all have that hundreds of dollars graveyard drawer full of skin care and cosmetics that we can’t use and couldn’t return!!!

Which regimen do you think would be for you? The Reverse, Soothe, Redefine or Unblemish?

If you’re unsure and you’re really interested in trying out Rodan + Fields, you can contact Brandi to ask questions and find out which regimen might be what you’d need. She knows her stuff!!!

Making Cleaning Easy with Dyson – The DC59 Animal is Now Available at Best Buy

February 6, 2014 by Jenni 1,532 Comments

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

I love my hardwood floors, but boy are they hard to keep clean. Pepper, our short haired dog doesn’t help matters any either. If I don’t sweep or vacuum at least every other day, it can quickly become a dust-bunny apocolyptic showdown ’round here. I’m attacking while the dust-bunnies are hanging on for dear life to the closest baseboard or table leg!

Dragging out the vacuum every day or even every other day just isn’t what I WANT to do. I hate lugging it around and tripping over the cords. I end up letting it go too long and then I work twice as hard sweeping up all the dust, dirt and dog hair. I do like my dry dust mop and I will use that daily but it does leave a lot of junk behind.

I was given the opportunity to try out the new Dyson DC59 Cordless Vacuum from Best Buy.

Look how cool and shiny it is! I’m in love.

I nearly fainted when it arrived. It’s all that a girl could ask for. Cordless, super duper light weight, and a DYSON!! Hello……I’ve always wanted a Dyson!!!

I instantly put it together and started vacuuming. When it arrived, it had some battery charge but not a full charge. I got to vacuum for about 10 minutes and then I had to plug it up to charge it. You can keep it up and out of your way with the awesome hanging charging station. Love that!

After a full charge (takes about 3.5 hours) it was ready to go full steam ahead. A full charge will give approximately 26 minutes of cleaning time. As long as I pick up toys, shoes, and everything else up out of the floor before vacuuming…I can sweep almost my entire house in that amount of time.

Check out all the nastiness and filth (and candy wrappers) that it picked up. I’m almost too embarrassed to post this photo – but I’m putting it all out there. YUCK!!! Photo on the left is all the dirt still in the collector bin. The one on the right, I had dumped the bin out on a plastic shopping bag.

The things that I love about the Dyson DC50 Cordless Vac:

It’s so lightweight…less than 5 lbs.
No cords to have to fight with.
It’s super sucky (a good sucky!) 🙂
Easy to empty the dustbin.
I can take the long handle off and use it as a handheld vacuum which is great for furniture, stairs and the vehicles!
I love how easy it turns and swivels around corners and edges.

Here are some other key features to mention…it’s long and detailed, but important information.

Releasing at Best Buy on February 1 for $499.00

Key Points:

– 3 times the suction of any other cordless vacuum in use

– 26 minute clean time

– 2 Tier Radial Cyclone technology brought to cordless for the first time

– Re-engineered brush bar for hard floor and carpet cleaning

– Re-engineered nickel manganese cobalt battery

o 3.5 hour charging time (vs. 5 hour in the DC44)

o Boost mode still available

– 2 Tier Radial Cyclone technology

o 15 cyclones, arranged across 2 tiers

o Work in parallel to increase airflow and capture fine dust

– Re-engineered brush bar

o Wider (approx. 10” vs. 8” on the DC44)

o Improved maneuverability due to smaller ball at the back

o Self-tightening mechanism keeps the brush bar stable

o New configuration of carbon fiber filaments and nylon bristle tips to remove fine dust and dirt across all floor types

o Extended neck for greater ease of use

– Ergonomic updates

o Soft-touch trigger is easier to hold (makes for longer clean time – people don’t need to keep it on when moving furniture, etc. – less wasted energy)

o Handle now more comfortable to hold

o Only 4.65 lbs

o Hygienic one-touch bin emptying, now on both sides (for lefties and righties). One push empties bin, 2nd push detaches bin completely for washing, etc.

o Pre-motor filter located at the top; now much easier to take out for washing

Now you can see why I love my new Dyson DC59. It’s still a pricey item, but Dyson makes incredible products. Make sure to check them out at Best Buy!! What is your favorite feature? Leave us a comment and let us know!

Protect Your Mobile Devices with Otterbox

November 23, 2013 by Jenni 424 Comments

We pay a lot of money for our mobile devices so it only makes sense to keep them protected from drops, bumps, scratches and everything else under the sun. We have hardwood floors through our home and little man loves to play with our phones and tablets. I can’t let him carry them off unattended because if he drops them on the floor without a case on, it would be the death of my phone or iPad. I mean, I would cry and would hold a burial service and everything.

Otterbox is well known for their cases for mobile devices. They have several styles and lines of cases for many different brand phones/devices. Their prices are also very good when you consider the protection you get out of it. They’re almost bullet proof. Okay, not really…but you get the idea. Otterbox are a great type of “insurance” for your devices so I definitely recommend buying them as gifts this Christmas!! Especially for your kiddos who tend to drop things easily!

They recently sent me a case for my iPhone from their new Preserver line. I love the Primrose color it came in…I’m just a “pink” girl. One thing I really enjoy about the case is that there isn’t a flap over the camera lens like my other case had. I used to have to pull the plastic cover off the lens before I’d take a picture — now I don’t have to do that. The phone is completely covered…every square inch of it so it’s super duper protected! Love it.

They also sent me an iPad case from their Reflex series. This is a nice case for someone who likes the lighter weight cases. It’s not cumbersome to carry or use, and it’s really easy to install. Keep in mind, with this case, you might want to buy a screen protector because this one doesn’t have one installed with the case. It covers the backside of the iPad and has a front cover that you remove when you’re ready to use it. You can also use the front side when removed, as a stand to work upright.

Click here to shop Otterbox cases!

We’re excited to announce that we’ll be giving away (2) Otterbox cases for a lucky reader. One for their phone and one for their tablet. WhooHoo!!! Our Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event will be going live on Black Friday so stay tuned!

Hate to Mop? Check out the Shark Sonic Duo Hard Floor and Carpet Cleaner

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 209 Comments

We have hardwood floors in our whole house. There is only one room that is carpeted and that’s our son’s room, but there is hardwood under that so we can pull the carpet back up anytime. We only had the carpet laid for his safety and comfort when he was born (first time mommy, give me a break! haha).

Anyway, the household job I hate more than anything is mopping. I hate it. So when I was given the opportunity to try the new Shark Sonic Duo Hard Floor and Carpet cleaner, I was like HELLOOOO – uhh, YEAH!! Boy, am I in love with this machine. I have a Shark Navigator vacuum and I love it so I knew that I’d love this new machine too. I’ve owned Shark products for several years.

As soon as the box arrived, I put it to work. The Shark Sonic Duo has pads that attach to the bottom and when you turn it on, that baby vibrates so fast that it actually scrubs 1000 times per minute. Uhh, I’m pretty sure I physically can’t scrub back and forth 1000 times in one minute. That’s the beauty of this machine! That’s over 16 powerful scrubs every second!

The Sonic machine removes the stuck on dirt and grime on your floors and carpet BUT it requires almost zero effort on your part. The machine has Airglide Manueverability. That’s what makes it do all the hard work, so fast! So you can imagine why I love this thing! After just one use, my hardwood floors looked cleaner and brighter. It also does an excellent job on small area rugs.

Shark Sonic Duo Cleaners

Shark Sonic Duo Pads

The pads that come with the Shark Sonic Duo are machine washable so no more having to wring out those nasty mop heads and no more disposable pads to buy!! The cleaning solutions are very affordable and they last quite awhile. The one thing that I really like about it is that they’re non toxic and safe to use around kids and pets! You just take the old bottle out and replace it with the new one.

Using the Shark Sonic Duo is very comfortable. As mentioned, with the airglide technology, the machine really moves by itself. You just have to hold the handle. The handle does swivel so it reaches well under nooks and crannies. We are very excited because we’ll be giving one of these systems to one lucky reader! Stay tuned for our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide, more info. about that soon!

The Shark Sonic Duo is priced around $219 with Free Shipping here on Amazon right now! It’s totally worth the price tag to save your arms, shoulders and time mopping the floors and cleaning carpets the “old fashioned” way. 🙂

Beautiful Baby Toys and Plush Animals from Steiff

November 22, 2013 by Jenni 845 Comments

Don’t forget about the babies this Christmas! Steiff is a German company that specializes in beautiful baby toys and plush animals. From gorgeous teddy bears to baby clothing and alot in between. The story behind the Steiff company is a sweet one. It all began with Margarete Steiff, a young woman whose dreams started with a pin cushion in the shape of an elephant and a lot of determination. Her company started in 1880 and has been going strong ever since. Now Steiff products are available in other countries, including the USA!

Steiff creates their beautiful baby toys and plush animals with the highest grade of materials and they follow strict guidelines and inspection. They have several different lines, some even including Mohair. They even have some cute character items like Wizard of Oz and Charlie Brown.

Click here for Little Circus Turtle products on Amazon

Click here for Little Circus Elephant items on Amazon.

They sent me a couple of their Little Circus items and they are super duper cute!! I got a Little Circus Turtle and a Little Circus Elephant! I’m really excited about the elephant because that was the animal that Margarete Steiff loved and held dear to her heart! These make perfect gifts for baby this Christmas or any time of year. Consider adding them to a baby shower basket, even! Momma will fall in love with them and so will baby. They’re so soft, plush and cuddly!

I know that the prices are a little higher for the Steiff baby toys and plush animals, compared to what you’d normally pay for a stuffed animal but you have to consider the craftmanship behind it. Some things, especially items that baby will be loving on, kissing and sleeping with, are priceless. These are the great ones that will become an heirloom. They last a lifetime and your kids can pass them on to their kids. Don’t worry…some of their products are machine washable, which is perfect for babies! Each item description on their site will tell you if they’re machine washable or not.

Safe, Stylish and Affordable Bedroom Sets for Kids from Delta Children

November 21, 2013 by Jenni 543 Comments

I love to decorate and I’m always re-arranging furniture in my house. Same goes for my son’s bedroom. He’s a little older now so he’s transitioned out of a couple of different beds and I’m always keeping my eyes out for great deals on bedroom sets. I have tons of nephews and nieces and several of them have kids of their own so I’m always looking for great deals on bedroom sets.

I found these really awesome bedroom in a box sets that Delta Children makes. They have the “fun” themes like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Princess Sofia, and Disney Cars just to name a few. They specialize in beds and other toddler furniture as well as nursery sets. When I was at a conference earlier this year, I was able to check out some of Delta’s products. They really focus a lot of their attention on the safety aspects of their products. For instance…they leave a lip open in their toy boxes so that if kids accidentally get inside one of them they can still breathe. You won’t believe how many times my own have been found asleep inside their toy boxes. It happens!

Amazing Sound with Flips Audio Headphones

November 9, 2013 by Jenni 594 Comments

Finding a great set of headphones can be a difficult challenge. I have found a set that I love…called Flips Audio! These are not your ordinary set of headphones. The cool thing about these is that they’re headphones and speakers all in one. Turn them in for regular headphones and turn them out for rocking speakers!

I love the style of these. I don’t do well with ear buds. I never could find a set that fit in my ears good so I really REALLY like these Flips Adio headphones. You can choose from either white ones or black ones. They fold up and fit in a sweet little case too. These are USB chargeable headphones and the charge lasts for quite some time. I use them everyday while I work online because I love to listen to music while I work…helps keep me focused. 🙂

The headphone sound quality is amazing!! When they’re in speaker mode, the sound quality is just as awesome! I turn on my favorite playlist and turn them on to speaker mode when I clean. I can hear the music all over the house when it’s playing. These are a great gift idea for anyone on your list who loves music!! You can find these here on Amazon for $119 and FREE shipping!! Keep an eye out…we’ll be giving a set of these away for our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide and Giveaway event!!

Tech Geek Gift Idea – Logitech Keyboard Folio for iPads

November 9, 2013 by Jenni 135 Comments

I spend a lot of time online from both my laptop and my mobile devices. I really enjoy working from my iPad because it’s not as restrictive as my laptop is but I really wanted to find a nice wireless keyboard. Logitech offers a really cool Keyboard Folio for iPads that fits the bill, plus it’s in it’s own case.

The Logitech Keyboard Folio is perfect for anyone. It’s also a great option for kids and teens who use iPads to do their homework. The keyboard helps them be more efficient. It’s easy to use straight out of the box. You just put the iPad into the folio and turn it on, using the Bluetooth Logitech keyboard on your device.

The keyboard features EasyType keys for comfortable typing plus iPad shortcut keys. You just open it to wake it up and close it for sleep mode. Magnets hold the iPad in typing mode and keeps the folio closed…or use it in the browsing mode. I love the functionality of it. It’s very easy to use and the keyboard is the perfect size. I’ve had some others that were super small and I was always making mistakes. Here are some other great points about the Logitech Keyboard Folio:

Protective Keyboard Folio for iPad 2, 3rd and 4th generation: Full wraparound protection for both the front and back of your iPad
Integrated EasyType Bluetooth keyboard: Full-size keys give you the feel and comfort of a traditional typing experience for your iPad
Striking style: Designed to perfectly complement iPad with a choice of rich colors and fabrics to match your personal style
Convenient magnetic stand and closure: Holds your iPad at the ideal angle for typing; keeps the Folio closed when you are on the go; auto wakes/sleeps your iPad when opened/closed
Long-lasting rechargeable power: Get up to three months of power on a full charge. Includes USB charging cable for easy recharging while you type (*Based on average use of two hours per day)

If your kids have been asking for a bluetooth keyboard for their iPads, this is one I’d highly recommend because it comes with the case too. You can find the Logitech Keyboard folio here on Amazon for around $99 with free shipping. The one I have is black but they have several other colors as well. They have lots of great reviews! Stay tuned — we’re promoting this item in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide! We’ll be giving one away around Black Friday so keep a look out!!

Sweet and Sour Tuna Salad Recipe – Healthy Lunch with #OceanNaturals

Sweet and Sour Tuna Salad served with Pita Chips

Who says tuna salad has to be made with tons of mayo and slathered between two pieces of bread?! That’s so old school! I’ve been making some changes to some of my favorite recipes lately by using some healthier alternatives and I knew an easy one to change up would be tuna salad! I wanted to transform it into a healthy lunch option for me and the boys, so I’ve made a Sweet and Sour Tuna Salad.

Tuna is such a healthy protein, but I’m particular about the kind of canned tuna I buy. I found the Ocean Naturals premium tuna at Walmart and what caught my eye was that it said “Premium Wild Skipjack Tuna – Responsibly Caught”. No fillers…the ingredient list just says Tuna, Salt and water. It also packs a wallop with 90mg of Omega 3’s and 15g of protein! When I cracked open the can, I was happy to find nice chunky tuna that flaked with a fork. LOVE that flakiness! I couldn’t help myself. I instantly inserted a forkful straight into my mouth! It tasted super fresh and didn’t have that overkill fishy smell.

Another really cool thing is that there are codes on the cans of Ocean Naturals premium tuna that you can enter on the Ocean Naturals website and it will tell you who caught your tuna and where it came from! Mine was caught by Captain Alec Aitken on the San Columbia vessel in New Zealand. Now that is just too cool.

Ocean Naturals believes that responsibly-caught means that their tuna comes from healthy sources that are harvested in ways that minimize the impact to the delicate ecosystem. They promise to respect Mother Nature and to provide their consumers with responsibly-caught seafood to serve our families. So – in short, Ocean Naturals makes products that are Good, Good for you and Good for the Planet!

I decided to make a Sweet & Sour Tuna Salad served on Pita Chips for lunch the other day. It turned out SO good and the family loved it. I didn’t want to just call it “Healthy Tuna Salad” cause that’s boring. This definitely has some sweet and sour components to it and I know you’ll love it.

(Getting some of the ingredients together)

Ok, enough yammering – right?! Here’s the Sweet and Sour Tuna Salad recipe:

Sweet and Sour Tuna Salad Recipe

Recipe Type: Lunch

Author: Jenni

Ingredients

2 – 6 oz. cans of Ocean Naturals premium tuna (drained)
3/4 c. nonfat Greek yogurt
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 c. red grapes (sliced in half or quartered)
1 dill pickle spear finely chopped
1 tsp. dill pickle juice
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Add both cans of drained tuna into a large mixing bowl.
Add the rest of the ingredients in and stir until completely combined.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Serve with pita chips or in pita pockets. You could also add to leaf lettuce as a wrap or salad.

I highly recommend that you pick up a can or two of Ocean Naturals the next time you’re at Walmart. You can also visit their Facebook page for the Ocean Naturals Tuna Tuesdays Facebook giveaway for a chance to win some free product!

Flipeez Hats are Warm and Cozy, Perfect for Halloween #Flipeez

October 12, 2013 by Jenni 306 Comments

My little man loves hats so anytime he sees new ones like these Flipeez Hats, he wants one! They’re fun, they’re cute and whimsy!! They’re warm and fleecy on the inside and the outside is a tight knit so keeping cold air out will be a “breeze”. Their looks aren’t the only cute thing about them. When you squeeze the puff ball at the end of the tassle, you’ll get a little “action” out of the Flipeez Hats!

We have the Blue Puppy Flipeez Hat and when little man squeezes the puff ball, his ears flip up! It’s just too cute and fun to watch. They’re made one size fits all and they do fit nicely! The hats have plenty of stretch for bigger kids as well. Think Halloween…and finish your kiddos costumes off with a Flipeez Hat! It’ll keep their heads warm while walking around the neighborhood collecting all that candy swag!!

(How Cute is this??!! He has on the cute Flipeez Hat with a Lorax T-Shirt and Thomas the Tank engine pajama pants!!
We were just lounging around being lazy!! That’s what weekends are all about, right?!)

When winter comes, I know Eli will be wearing his hat out to the school bus in the mornings or while playing out in the snow!! I’ve heard we’re going to get lots of snow this year…at least that’s the future forecast. The fleece material is so nice and thick that it will really keep the cold out. Plus, we just can’t get over how cute they are!

I’ve got several young nieces and nephews who would love these. I think I know what they’ll be getting for Christmas this year from us! They have a few different ones to choose from. Check these out!

Skinny BLT Pasta Salad – Dinner Ideas Made Easy with Land O’ Lakes #SauteExpress

October 7, 2013 by Jenni 711 Comments

I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

Who likes to stand over a hot stove for hours to fix a dinner that takes 20 minutes to eat? I don’t. I’m always looking for killer dinner ideas with little time to invest. I know that they say all good things come to those who wait, but I don’t think that they were talking about dinner. At least I hope not. Otherwise my family will starve!

Have you heard of Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter? Well, let me just tell you that these will forever more be in my refrigerator! I found these at Walmart in the dairy aisle. They’re a combination of butter, olive oil, different herbs and spices all wrapped up in one little square package! Now you don’t have to worry with having all the different spices and herbs on hand. Just add one of these little cubes to your skillet along with your chicken, pork or fish and voila! Talk about saving time AND money!

There are a few different flavors. Moms must love these because there were only 2 varieties in stock at my local Walmart!! They’re inexpensive and you can make several meals out of one pack! It’s definitely a thrifty way to make a quick and flavorful meal or to turn your ordinary go to recipes into something a little different! Who loves the same ol’ same ol’ all the time anyway, right?!

I found some easy chicken recipes on the Land O’ Lakes website including a BLT Pasta Salad. I really wanted to put my own spin on it though. See, I’ve packed on a few pounds the last few months (thanks, coffee creamer) and I’d like to lose them before the holidays creep in with all the candy, baked goods, turkey and stuffing! Mercy! So, I’ve been recreating a few of my favorite recipes using healthier alternatives. We prefer real butter over margarine and we always use olive oil so these new Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter squares are a no-brainer for us!

I turned the Land O’ Lakes BLT Pasta Salad into a skinny version! My family loves pasta salad, so I was hoping that they wouldn’t really notice the “skinny” and luckily they didn’t. It tasted fan-flipping-tastic! This new skinny BLT pasta salad is now one of my go-to quick dinner recipes! It makes a great pitch in dinner dish too!

Skinny BLT Pasta Salad Ingredients:

2 cups of uncooked mini rotini
2 Land O Lakes® Italian Herb Sauté Express® squares
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
10 slices turkey bacon (cook until nice and crispy, then chop into chunks)
2 cups grape tomatoes (cut in half)
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves, coarsely chopped

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to the package directions, then drain.

Melt 2 Italian Herb Sauté Express® squares in a skillet over medium-low heat until it bubbles, then add chicken.
Sauté chicken for 13-18 minutes or until chicken is done, is golden brown on both sides and juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Remove from the skillet to a cutting board and cut into small bite-sized pieces.

Add pasta, greek yogurt, turkey bacon and tomatoes to skillet; stir until heated through. Then toss in chicken and spinach to coat. Serve hot or chill and serve cold if you prefer.

*The original recipe (in case you’d rather have the full fat version) used 1/2 cup of ranch dressing and regular bacon. It also called for the Savory Butter and Olive Oil variety of Sauté Express® squares but I thought the Italian Herb was a nice twist.

Be sure to stop over and “Like” the Land O’ Lakes Facebook page or Follow them on Twitter @LandOLakesKtchn! They share great things there and you can stay updated on any news, promotions and recipes! You can also grab a $0.75 off Land O’Lakes Sauté Express® Sauté Starter coupon! You’d end up paying right at $2 after coupon!!

Shop Costume Express for the Best Halloween Costumes

Shop Costume Express for the Best Halloween Costumes! Offering 15% off right now plus FREE Shipping with a $75 order!

I cannot believe that October is almost here! Fall is my favorite time of the year. Around late September, we start thinking about Halloween costumes. I always like to get a jump on it early, otherwise I worry about shipping deadlines if I wait too long. My little guy is all about Toy Story, Toy Story 2 and then of course…Toy Story 3. He decided that this year he wanted to be Sheriff Woody. No, thankfully, he does NOT have a snake in his boot! 🙂

The last few years, we’ve got our Halloween costumes from Costume Express. We’ve always been very happy and that’s where we’ll continue to shop from. They have great prices (this costume was just $34) and the costumes are always very well made. We got this Sheriff Woody costume in the mail a few days ago and I thought little man was going to come UNGLUED! He couldn’t wait – so we went ahead and let him put it on. I wanted to make sure it would fit anyway.

How stinking cute is HE?! He loves, loves, LOVES his costume. I knew he would. The only thing I can say about this Sheriff Woody costume is that the hat is a bit difficult to keep on his head. It would have been a great addition to have a string that goes under the chin to keep it attached, but all is well. It doesn’t bother him at all.

When shopping at Costume Express, I feel like the measurements are right on. My little guy is small for his age, so I went with the size 4/6. It fits perfectly. But I would double check the measuring guide just to be safe. It may also depend on the individual costume. I highly recommend checking Costume Express out for all of your costume needs. They offer all sorts of deals and free shipping offers. Make sure to check those out!

You can also follow CostumeExpress on their social media links below.

What are your kids going to be for Halloween this year? Leave us a comment below and let us know! We’d love to hear!!

Disclosure: CostumeExpress sent us a costume for free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own, and honest as always.

Did You Know You Can Save Up to $2700 Per Year on Food With FoodSaver?

September 26, 2013 by Jenni 710 Comments

Learn How FoodSaver Can Help You Save Money on Food!

How many times do you pull frozen meat out of your freezer and say, “Yuck! That looks gross, I don’t even want to cook that!”? That happens to me all the time. I’ll buy pounds of fresh meat, bring it home and put in freezer bags to freeze then a month later, pull it out and it doesn’t even look good.

My husband gets so mad at me because if it even LOOKS suspicious, I’ll pitch it and not even think twice about it. Even if that package of meat cost us $10. That is NOT a good way to help my family save money on food. That’s one reason I was really excited when FoodSaver contacted me to do a review of their products. The day it arrived in the mail, I had just bought a package of ground beef so I was ready to try it out.

The FoodSaver came with the rolls to use in the machine. It’s one large roll of heavy plastic, and once you cut it…you’ll seal it on both ends in the FoodSaver machine. The FoodSaver will pull all of the air out of the bag so your meats, produce, and other foods are vacuum sealed for freshness.

So, we opened the box up and tried this bad boy out! I took photos while Dale (the hubs) was figuring things out. I was surprised at how easy it is to use. You literally just cut the roll to fit the size of whatever you’re sealing. You’ll want to cut it about 3 inches longer though to give yourself some room. Before you vacuum seal the food, you’ll seal one end of the bag first. Then add your meat or produce. Then you’ll seal the other end.

It’s really cool to watch it as it works. You can see the bag drawing up as the FoodSaver pulls the air out of the bag. It literally takes just seconds to seal up a bag. Easy peasy! Just think of how much money you’ll save using FoodSaver!! They say that they can actually save you up to $2700 per year! Now that’s how you save money on food!! It’s perfect for keeping meats, produce, even leftovers nice and fresh. Frozen, YES! But still fresh. No worries about freezer burnt foods now!

Usually, after a freezer bag of ground beef has been in my freezer for a week…it’s already starting to look dried out and gross. This package of ground beef has been in my freezer for over a week and it still looks nice and pink!!! Like the day I bought it!

I have the FoodSaver V2244 System and it’s priced at around $80 here on Amazon with FREE shipping plus it comes with a roll of plastic to get you started! You can see there that it has tons of great reviews! I highly recommend it as a way to help your family save on your food budget! It does cost up front, but the savings in the end is really worth it!

You can use this widget below and Calculate what your savings could be! Leave a comment letting us know what YOUR savings would be. We’d love to hear!

Just click the Calculator button on the left side below in the box. I did and I answered 3 simple questions. Based on those answers, it tells me I can save up to $450 a year with FoodSaver. IF I start buying meats and produce in bulk (which always saves more money) then I could save as much as $1950 a year! That is a HUGE amount of savings!!! How much are your savings?

BLT Fish Sandwich with Gorton’s New Fish Sandwich Fillets #WickedGoodSeafood

September 21, 2013 by Jenni 583 Comments

BLT Fish Sandwich…yum!

I have a “thing” for sandwiches. Always have. I kind of remind myself of Joey Tribianni from the show Friends because of his love for a good sandwich. Gorton’s recently sent me a few free product coupons to try out some of their new varieties. Since they just came out with the new fish sandwich fillets, I knew what I wanted to do with them! Fish sandwich BLT’s!

Fish fillets combined with BLT’s….it just makes sense! Ohh, and it was good too! All you have to do is fry a little, or alot, of bacon. Slice up some tomatoes, have some lettuce on hand and then fix your Gorton’s Fish Sandwich Fillets according to the package directions. Assemble your sandwich, add some mayo (I use greek yogurt in place of mayo) and voila. Goodness on a bun!

If Fish Sandwich BLT’s don’t sound like your cup of tea, you can check out some other awesome Gorton’s fish recipes for inspiration. Here’s a link: gortons.com/recipes. You can also snag a printable Gorton’s coupon to save a little when you grab a bag! Be sure to connect with Gorton’s below:
