Hershey’s Bunny Trail Easter Gift Basket

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 6 Comments

I love Easter and I have fond memories of Easter from when I was a child. I remember my mother used to make matching outfits for my brother and I. I also remember one year getting a basket full of loose wrapped candy. Maybe there were chocolate covered eggs, I don't remember exactly but I do remember that basket. I also remember looking for eggs in our house and finding a few a couple of days later that we missed! And I remember the pretty hats my mom would always get for me and going to church as a family. I love these memories! My husband and I try to make wonderful memories for our girls with every holiday and Easter is one of them. They love the anticipation of the day and...

Aunt Jemima Little Griddles Review & FREE Coupon

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 6 Comments

My girls love pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And I turn to frozen pancakes quite often because they are easy for busy mornings, like school days. My little one even takes them for lunch sometime to school, that is how much she loves them! Aunt Jemima has some mini frozen pancakes called Lil' Griddles and they taste like I made them because every batch is made from scratch with quality ingredients like eggs, milk and sugar. All Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast products are made from scratch and that is why they taste so good. Honestly if they weren't all the same exact size circle, I'm not sure the girls would know I didn't make them. And now with these new Lil’ Griddles from...

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 11 Comments

Nothing helps us through the long winter months better than a piping hot cup of coffee! I know it helps me. But then again even in the hot days of summer, I love my hot coffee! I also love my Keurig and Starbucks - so combining the two is just perfect. My favorite Starbucks Coffee is the Veranda Blend or the Blonde, and I love that it comes in K-Cup packs as well as ground coffee! If you aren't familiar with the Veranda Blend, it's for those coffee lovers who find Starbucks coffee too bold. The Starbucks® Veranda Blend coffee is a lighter, milder brew.

We received a box which included the new Sesame Street cereal - C is for Cereal!

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 14 Comments

I love chocolate - milk chocolate especially. It truly is my favorite. I love hazelnuts with chocolate - that is a great combination. But until I tried these I had never had white chocolate with hazelnuts and let me tell you, it's a GREAT combination!! The white chocolate takes on a completely different flavor when mixed with the hazelnuts. I really enjoyed these!

Perugina’s Baci White confections are the perfect way to celebrate special occasions, with a “Kiss from the Heart of Italy.” “Baci” is the Italian word for “kisses”...

New Dial 7-Day Moisture Lotion Review & Giveaway (ends 3/18)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 19 Comments

Just this weekend I was commenting to my friend that my skin had been so dry lately but since I started to use the Dial 7 Day Moisturizing Lotion, it really had made a difference! This is the time of year that my skin dries out so much so I have lotion all over the house! Even my girls have dry skin. It was worse when they were babies because I was washing my hands even more with every diaper change and that really dried out my hands. But I've been using the Dial 7 Day Moisturizing Lotion Skin Therapy with Himalayan Pink Minerals for a little over a week now and it really has made a difference in how dry my hands are! And the non-greasy lotion really does absorb fast so I can almost...
