by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Good Cook but my opinions are 100% my own! As a Good Cook Kitchen Expert, I receive items to play with, I mean review. We received a few Halloween goodies this time and I really enjoyed using them. Earlier this week I posted the Haunted House Cookie Cutter set. If you missed it I suggest you check it out. It's a pretty cool set to have to use over and over again. Good Cook has a line of products under the Sweet Creations name that makes baking fun. I mean baking is already fun but when you have fun things to use with your baking, then it gets even more fun, right? I received the Haunted Cupcake Display to use to display some fun Halloween Cupcakes. My kids were...

Save Money with the FoodSaver® V2244 Vacuum Sealer

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by FoodSaver but my opinions are 100% my own! I work very hard each week making sure to stretch our hard-earned dollars on food and everything else we need. I don't like to pay full price if I don't have to and I don't like to waste food, especially after all the work I put into buying it and then cooking it! But each week I find myself throwing things out because they were pushed to the back of the fridge and were forgotten about, or they simply went bad faster than I expected them to. I know I'm not alone in doing this and I know I'm not alone in wanting to get the most bang for my buck. So besides getting the good deal, you want to keep the food you buy...

Personalized Family Christmas Ornament at Ornaments With Love Review & Giveaway (ends 10/28)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 6 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Ornaments with Love but my opinions are 100% my own! Every year, since my husband and I have been together, we get an ornament with 'us' and the year written on it. As our family grew, we added them to the ornament. My plan is someday when we've been together for a LONG time, and the kids are gone, our tree will have just the ornaments we purchased each year we were together. I look forward to that day! This year we got a Personalized Family Christmas ornament from Ornaments with love. This is actually our 4th ornament from them and I love them all. They have a huge variety of ornaments for just about anyone, not just families. I had a hard time picking...

The NEW Beatrix Girls Dolls Are Now in Stores (Giveaway ends 10/28)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 5 Comments

This post is Sponsored by PopStarClub, Inc but my opinions are 100% my own! Having two girls means we have a lot of girl toys. When I was pregnant with my 2nd daughter, I actually told my husband I was sort of hoping to have another girl because we already had everything for a girl. Having a boy would mean all new 'boy' things. Of course I would have been happy if we had a boy but we had another girl and now our house is full of dolls - not dolls and cars! The good thing is, my girls actually play with their dolls. They definitely have a lot but I can say that each one gets some play time, not just with them but with their friends. And when they get a new one, they all come out to...

A Fun Time for Our Family at King Richard’s Faire in Carver Massachusetts

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 10 Comments

If you live in New England, I'm sure you've heard of or seen signs for King Richard's Faire in Carver Massachusetts. I'm embarrassed to say that as I've always known about it, I had never been until recently. My husband mentioned going earlier this fall and I was totally on board because we both knew the girls would enjoy it. And we were right! We had a really fun day. King Richard’s Faire is New England’s largest and longest-running Renaissance Festival. It opened its 2013 season on August 31st and runs weekends and Monday holidays through October 20, 2013. It’s tucked away on 80 acres of enchanted forest in Carver, MA and King Richard’s Faire is a full day of live, interactive...

Sweet Creations by Good Cook Haunted House Cookie Cutter Set & My First Ever Haunted Gingerbread House

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 4 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Sweet Creations by Good Cook but my opinions are 100% my own! My kids aren't sure who I am anymore. All of a sudden I bake things, and create things - fun things. They are a bit confused because mom hasn't always been this handy and crafty in the kitchen, but they are loving it.... and so am I! As you know, I am a Good Cook Kitchen Expert (which my husband laughs at!) and they sent me the Haunted House Cookie Cutter Set to make the house you see above. I have to be very honest with you. Before I agreed to make this house, I thought it came already baked and in pieces that then I had to assemble. You know like you can buy at the holidays to make a gingerbread...

This post is Sponsored by YoCrunch but my opinions are 100% my own! I love pumpkin pie! Actually, I love pumpkin anything and it's been so hard to resist all these pumpkin temptations that don't fit into my diet. And then I received some YoCrunch Pumpkin Pie Parfait and now I've been able to satisfy my pumpkin craving. Have you seen this yet? My youngest daughter would never even think of eating a piece of pumpkin pie. But when this arrived she couldn't wait to try it, which completely surprised me. She loved it!

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by Shout! Factory Kids but my opinions are 100% my own! If you have girls in your family, then chances are you know who the Little Pet Shop is. As a matter of fact, you probably have about a million of them scattered around your house! OK, maybe not a million but some days it seems like there are that many. Our first introduction to the Littlest Pet Shop was when my oldest was 4 years old and she received her first play set. Ever since then we've collected tons of pets - some duplicates, some play sets, Wii games and movies. And they love them all. And now there is a new movie to add to their collection - Littlest Pet Shop: Petacular Escapades. Blythe and her...
