Wholly Guacmole & Cabot Cheese Review & Giveaway

my family LOVES Taco night! We tend to have tacos on a weekly basis! Since its just the 3 of us we usually have plenty of leftovers for Nachos for the next days lunch!

So when I had the opportunity to review Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa and Cabot Cheese, I literally Jumped at the chance! I was so excited when my package arrived. Thankfully my husband was home so he opened immediately and put the yummies in the fridge.

I received the following to Review:
Wholly Guacamole Spicy
Wholly Guacamole Snack Packs
Wholly Guacamole Classic
Wholly Guacamole Homestyle
Wholly Salsa Classic HOT
Wholly Salsa Roasted Tomato
Cabot Cheese in 4 different flavors

I told my husband that these products were for a Review I was doing and that we would be having a Family Taco Night. Well he just couldn't wait! He tore into the cheese like a mad man! I laughed and asked him how it tasted he said it was VERY good! Cabot cheese is best when you let it warm up a little, makes it easier to cut and enjoy!

So Taco night arrived and I was super excited! My husband is a hunter so we tend to eat ground venison in place of beef. I however mixed half beef with venison this night, to kick it up a notch! I just use my favorite brand of Taco Seasoning.

My husband isn't big on Guacamole so I left it off his. They still looked really good! He said the salsa really kicked it up a notch. We normally don't put salsa on our tacos. We will from now on though! Wholly Salsa has a permanent spot in my fridge.

My Daughter Loves her guac just like her momma. So I made hers similar to mine.. 












I try to stay away from flour and most carbs, but I wanted to get a picture of all the awesome products, so I took this one of mine: (I actually ended up not eating the tortilla)

I did however PILE it in a bowl and ate it up. The salsa is AMAZING! Me and my husband couldn't get enough of it!!!!  SO SO good.

Of course there was PLENTY of good ingredients left over the next day for Nachos! So I piled the cheese on for the Hubby.

I did enjoy some corn chips with mine. (I do have them from time to time I just try and not make it an every day or weekly thing!) So this was all ingredients... Love how the guacamole and salsa piled on top, makes it very eye appealing.










This is the very very yummy guacamole and salsa.. I just dipped some corn chips and ate it up!

I have snacked on the Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsa till they were GONE. I'm absolutely in LOVE with these products.
We are also HUGE Cheese lovers so Cabot cheese has lived up to our expectations. Its an awesome brand and we all loved the different varieties we were sent.

The Nutcracker Music Game (for kids) Review & Giveaway!!

I am a member of Tomoson and they teamed up to bring us this Review and Giveaway.
I was sent a Free download of the Nutcracker Music Game for children.

The download did take some time for me, but that could be my Internet. Sometimes its not the fastest!
I let my 6-year old daughter play around on it and she seemed to like it. I did have to help her a little here and there as the story part of the game didnt read aloud. We liked the games, they were simple but very engaging. I even played around on it with her! She played for a while before moving onto something else. Once I have time to sit with her and play around more I'm sure we will have even more fun with it!
 

This computer game gives children an outlet for exploring their own appreciation of music, while sharpening their listening and problem-solving skills and improving understanding of the basic concepts of music. The Nutcracker Music Game is a magical adventure that celebrates music by challenging kids through interactive participation and exciting game play.
The premise of the program is to save the Nutcracker by earning nine golden keys through a series of musical games and activities that teach students about differences between sounds, exercises their memory skills, and increases their music vocabulary.  
The Nutcracker Music Game offers exceptional teaching tools, such as the ability to demonstrate, in the classroom, every instrument of the orchestra and its interaction with other musical instruments. But above all it teaches children to love and appreciate music.  
The program features a multitude of innovative musical games, puzzles and riddles, as well as an animated Encyclopedia of Musical Instruments, an extensive Listening Room, Tchaikovsky's biography, the Nutcracker story, the History of the Nutcracker ballet, music trivia and more.

Parnevu Review (Hair Care Product)

I have been given the chance to Review Parnevu Hair Care Products. 

I was sent to review: 1 bottle of Extra-Dry Salon Shampoo
                                1container of Extra-Dry Leave In Conditioner  (Normal Formula)
                                1 container of Extra-Dry Shining Gel

       When I received I had already washed my hair. Now, I will inject here: I'm one that does not wash my hair every day. I have very damaged, dry, brittle hair from perms, chemical treatments, numerous styling products, and colorings. So for me to wash my hair every day I end up doing more damage that I want to avoid. So I did try the Shining Gel on my already washed-styled hair that I had sprayed with a water bottle so it was damp. First off, I LOVE the scent of the Gel! It was very easy to apply and didn't feel sticky icky. After my hair dried my hair did have a sticky feel, not soft to the touch. I assumed this was due to the product already in my hair.

      The next day I used all three products. I like the scent of the Shampoo, not as great smelling as the Gel but it was pleasant. I washed as normal and didn't use any additional conditioner. I combed my hair and applied the Leave In Conditioner with my pick. I love the scent of the Conditioner as well. Better than the Shampoo, but my favorite is the Gel!! My hair was super soft and didn't feel weighed-down like some leave in conditioners can feel. Then I applied the gel with the pick and this time I didn't use as much as I did the first time, hoping that would help with the sticky feeling after my hair dried. It wasn't as sticky, but it still had that sticky Gel Feeling to it. I think that's just something you have to deal with when you use Hair Gel.
I also had my husband (who has severely flaky scalp) start using the Shampoo in place of his normal Shampoo and I have noticed a difference in his hair. His scalp stays clean longer and he doesn't have as much flaky dry skin! I'm pretty happy about that! 

Overall I am happy with the Shampoo and Leave In Conditioner. I would recommed anyone with Dry hair to purchase this product.

Fall Is Here

I have been a bad blogger and neglected you all! My summer was crazy busy as I was working a Full-Time job and taking care of the household. I know many many women do it and I give them many many kudos!  EEK! Its not for me. I have a hard enough time just keeping my house clean, laundry washed, put away, cooking and homeschooling! Working and being a Great Perfect Wife and Mom is just not cut out for me!


Anyway, I'm slowly finding my bearings around House Work, Homeschool and blogging, sweeping!!  Stay tuned as I try and keep it all together! :)

Sorry been MIA!

Well, the entire month of May was to say in one word, CHAOTIC!!  Man, am I glad its over. .  

Due to circumstances beyond our control, I had to go back to work. So, I am now a working mom, Homeschooling mom, still taking care of my household of 3 plus fish and dog.  .   Its been CRAZY!!  

I am slowly starting to get used to it..  (Very Slowly)  

Just wanted to give my readers an update and I will try and work in a post here and there. Hopefully I can get a giveaway up soon! Wouldn't that be fun.  

Hope everyone is enjoying their Summer..  Our school's are now all out in our area.

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Review and GIVE~A~WAY

I received Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil to Review! I myself LOVE Coconut Oil and all the Health Properties of it. I use it Daily in my morning coffee. Gives a nice glisten to the coffee and adds a little coconut flavor!

I have tried other brands in the past and they were "acceptable". When I received the package on my doorstep I immediately knew this company was different. The packaging was very sturdy, I had no doubt that my Coconut Oil had arrived safely! I was right, upon opening the Coconut Oil package it was in perfect condition. I have complete confidence in this Company and their packing and shipping department!
I opened the jar and was hoping for a more potent coconut scent. (as I love the smell of coconut) Then upon cooking and using it I could smell it more. I used it to fry up some yummy chicken pepper poppers.

They fried up real nice and only had a very faint flavor of coconut. While frying the smell was very nice! Like I said Coconut Scent is a favorite of mine, so I enjoyed it! My friend has cooked with the same brand and she didn't smell or taste them in her food, although she did say her friend could taste coconut. So I guess it depends on how sensitive you are to the coconut smell and or flavor.

  Overall I am VERY Pleased with this product! Tropical Traditions has Excellent Customer Service and a Wonderful Product! They are CONSTANTLY having great specials on their Website. I receive the emails notifying me when a Sale is going on. I have never been spammed from this Company.

I enjoy Yard Selling

Today we woke up early. Well, earlier than normal! haa haa! To do some local yard selling. One of the local neighborhoods was having their annual Spring Yard Sale. We hit a few that were good, my lil girl always finds good stuff! (I think at her age, you can find anything!)

MY Score of the Day was a package of (12) Pumpkin Spice Green Mountain K-Cups for .50!! !! Yes, I said FIFTY CENTS! A box of these range from $10+. I was stoked. I'm thinking she bought them not knowing what they were. (she was an older lady) Her daughter didnt even know what they were.. LOL Her loss my gain! I was so excited, totally worth the waking up early..  

Do you Yard/Garage Sale?? Whats been your greatest find? I love to hear the awesome deals folks can score.

Mail Call!

Look what I got in the mail yesterday!!

I cant wait to pop a K-Cup in my Keurig and see what its all about.

PottyCover-Review & Give- A- Way!

I am a member of Tomoson and they have teamed up with PottyCover for this Review and Giveaway! 

I have received a small package of PottyCover to Review. 

PottyCover is a disposable toilet seat cover for children that covers the sides and the front of the toilet, to keep away germs at public rest-rooms.  It is made of non-woven fabric coated with a layer of plastic, creating a waterproof barrier between the toilet and the child. This product has the largest coverage of all seat covers on the market and for added convenience, each seat cover is individually packaged in a small, easy to open bag that makes it super easy to always keep one or two in a purse or a back pocket. 

My daughter could NOT wait to try this! So, we used one in our bathroom at home. She loved it. It didn't slide around like the disposable ones at the store do. It covered the front completely so her legs didn't touch any part of the 'Potty'. 

Then the next time we were at the store I had thrown one in my purse and sure enough we needed it. She loved that I had packed it just in case. We quickly placed on the toilet and I was super happy that her lil legs didn't touch the front.  Yuck, I hate that!  They are the perfect size to throw in your car, handbag or even diaper bag!  

We are SUPER happy with this product. My only concern is that its disposable not reusable. Although, we don't go shopping every day so I can justify that! 

You can find them here: PottyCover,  Amazon, Ebay, all Buy Buy Baby stores around the country and at select Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

Giveaway Time: One of my readers who enters this giveaway through the rafflecopter form below will win PottyCover of their own!

a Rafflecopter giveaway I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Tylers Coffee Review&Giveaway!

I am a member of Tomoson and they have teamed up with Tylers Coffee for this Review and Giveaway!

 I have received a small bag of Tylers Coffee to Review.
Tyler’s Coffee uses a “Z-Roasting” process that optimizes the time the coffee beans are cooked; the result is high levels of caffeine and free of acid. Benefits of an acid free coffee are tooth enamel is protected and teeth are stronger leading to fewer cavities.
 A little cup of java can mean a big problem for stomachs. Acid levels in coffee, as well as impurities and resins, may wreak havoc on the digestive tract. Our customers with sensitive stomachs are relieved to learn that they can still continue enjoying a great cup of coffee whenever they want. Its available in Regular Acid Free and Decaffeinated Acid Free. --They use No Chemicals to decaffeinate their coffee!

 I made a few cups for myself in our Keurig Reusable Coffee Filter and I also had my husband test it out. I myself liked the flavor, very full and robust. It didn't bother my stomach as I have noticed some coffee does. My husband likes his coffee VERY black and strong, so it wasn't strong enough for him. He said if a Darker Roast was available he would prefer that one. Overall I really liked the coffee, knowing that it wasn't hurting my tooth enamel was a big plus!

 Now for the Giveaway! !! Tylers Coffee is allowing me to giveaway some coffee!! !!

 Mandatory Entry: Comment and let me know if you drink Coffee. Please leave your email so I have a way to contact you if you win!
