Claritin Children's Chewable

2012-04-14T17:56:00.000-07:00

It's allergy season ya'll! Time for itchy, burning, watery eyes, running or stuffy noses, and bags under the eyes oh and of course, the sneezing! We all have seasonal allergies here at my house, so allergy meds are falling out of my medicine cabinet. The kids have this nose spray that i was prescribed to spray up their noses each morning..a little weird yes. And we really didn't see much improvement and it runs out so quickly or gets air in it and causes it to be difficult to press sometimes. So when Bzzagent had openings for their Claritin campaign i was excited!!! I jumped onto that and luckily was accepted. I received my package soon after and started offering the coupons they sent to me to my friends and told them how excited i was to try it. I asked them if they wanted me to mail them one. Maybe they were curious about it but haven't tried it yet, and a few said "Yes! Send me a coupon!" So i did and started Claritin on my kids the next day. My middle son came home from school and i asked him if his eyes were itchy, he is the one with the worst attacking allergies, and he said no. Almost surprised actually! So i was excited about that! He said he felt good at recess that day, which was so good to hear since he usually tears up and rubs his eyes while outside. My kids also like the taste of it, which is even better that i don't have to fight with them to take it or tell them it's going to taste great when i know it's really not. (haha)
One day i forgot to give them their chewable and boy did i hear about it! He came home from school and yelled, "Mama! You forgot my medicine! I was rubbing my eyes all day!" So yeah, it is completely obvious that this medicine actually works and i couldn't be happier to find something that actually allows them to have a fun day at school without all the crappy symptoms.
I just have to add, this morning we went to the park to let the kids ride their scooters while i walked, and i made sure everyone got their medicine so that they could enjoy themselves..and you know what? I never saw them rub their eyes, blow their nose, or sneeze! Now that is proof enough for me! Will you try it? *If you would like coupons, please comment below and i'll get those right to you!*

Silk Fruit and Protein Juice

2012-04-14T17:32:00.003-07:00

So today i want to talk about this new juice, Silk fruit and protein juice. I received coupons from Houseparty.com along with some other fun goodies in my package. So i have tried the strawberry banana one and the first box i bought was gone before i even had a chance to drink any! haha Safe to say my 3 older kids loved it! And actually, i have since then given it to my 9 month old in her sippy cup and she liked it too. I love the fact that it doesn't have any dairy in it. I have a mild allergy to dairy and i don't drink milk, i drink Silk dark chocolate almond milk, or i'll use Silk vanilla almond milk in my cereal. I do use 2% in my daily cooking recipes though, just because it's cheaper to do it that way. But i prefer my kids to drink almond milk. It's SO much better for you then regular milk. It has twice the calcium and that is very important for small children and also for me, being a woman.
So Silk has 3 flavors right now; Mixed Berry, Strawberry Banana, and Mango Peach. I will try the mixed berry next time i go to the store, but i won't be buying the mango peach, because i do not like mango at all! Not even a hint of it. But i'm sure it's just as tasty as the others! ;)
So i have lots of coupons i can give away for $1 off. (It is on sale right now for $2 something.) Just comment and let me know! :)

A delicious cheeseball your guests will LOVE!

2011-12-30T19:44:00.000-08:00

This cheeseball is way more delicious then it looks! And super easy to make! I must give credit to my mother-in-law Michelle for this recipe! :)

You will need:

2 8oz packages of cream cheese

1 jar of dried beef (you can find this where the canned chicken is)

about 4 green onions

onion powder and garlic powder

crackers of your choice

To prepare:

Let cream cheese soften completely on counter before you start.
Then you will put both packages of cream cheese in a medium sized bowl.
Chop up dried beef or cut into little bits with scissors(much easier!)
Chop up the green onions and toss both ingrediants into the cream cheese bowl.
Then sprinkle in half a teaspoon of onion and garlic powder.
Allow this to sit in your refrigerator at least an hour(i prep it at night and let it sit overnight usually) the longer you let it sit, the more flavorful and firm it will get.
Once it has firmed up, you will want to grease your hands with some Crisco or some sort of oil. Then using a spoon, manipulate the mixture into the center of the bowl like a ball shape. This will help you get it all out easier.
You need to scoop it all out and mold it into a ball with your hands(the oil will help you mold it without it sticking to your hands) Pack it together tightly into a ball. {You can now leave it like this or if you are making it for a party or holiday, you can reserve some of the dried meat and roll the ball into the dried meat making it look like my picture above.}
Then it is ready to go! Place in a container or platter and surround it with fabulous crackers!

My chicken and broccoli casserole

2011-12-30T16:23:00.000-08:00

Today i pulled out a recipe of mine from "the vault". Recipes i have put away because the kids would not touch when they were younger. So sitting with my pen and paper in hand for alomst an hour and not getting any recipes written down, i figured it was time to pull this one out and try again since it has been a couple years or so. I just looove this casserole! My kids have never cared much for dishes that are all mixed together, whether they be delicious or not, it all looks like who-knows-what to them! So, fingers crossed, they like it tonight! I call it Chicken and Broccoli Casserole but the best ingrediant to me is the cornbread topping! Now, i've seen many recipes out there where they use a stuffing topping, but my family doesn't like stuffing, so luckily i have this ditty of a recipe instead! ;)

You will need:

*package of chicken(use what's on sale! i got chicken tenderloin strips for $3.98! you will cut it into bite size chunks, so skinless chicken breast of some kind)
*1 can cream of chicken soup
*1/2 can of milk
*16oz velvetta
*1 broccoli crown
*cornbread mix(i use the Jippy box for only 50 cents)

Cook it up like this:

1. first coat a skillet with oil. Place chicken in skillet. You can cut it into bite size chunks now with scissors or cook it and cut it later. I sprinkle some season all and onion powder on my chicken, just to give it a little taste. ;)

2. next chop up the broccoli crown into chunks and then you need to steam it. I chose my Glad Steamer bags bc it takes no water or pan! Just toss it in and microwave!

I microwaved it for 3 minutes. Then you want to chop it into very small pieces.

3. Now you need to cut up your velvetta into small cubes. Place this in a medium sized bowl. Once the chicken is entirely cooked through, you will place it in the bowl with the velvetta and spoon in the cream of chicken soup and 1/2 the can of milk. Mix together.

4. Then you will place all of this mixture into a baking pan. Smooth it evenly over the pan but you will want to push the mixture into the middle of the pan so it is not touching any sides all around. (this will allow the cornbread mixture to hold in all that yumminess in its middle!)

5. Sprinkle the broccoli evenly on top.

6. Prepare your cornbread as the directions state on the box. You will then pour this over the broccoli and mixture. You CAN pour any leftover in the sides, but make sure to cover the broccoli mixture first.

7.Then bake at 350 for about 30 mins or until cornbread is brown and cooked. Here are my finished pictures! Now don't fret if you see that all the velvetta cubes are not comepletely melted, once it is your bowl, you can give it a quick stir and it's perfect! This makes a delicious lunch the next day! ENJOY! :)

My LunchBots campaign

2011-11-28T15:33:00.001-08:00

Sooooo I GOT PICKED FOR THE LUNCHBOTS CAMPAIGN!!!!! WOOHOO!!!
I am so so very happy and appreciative that BzzAgent.com chose me! This is something i struggle with when trying to figure out how to send my boys off to school with their lunch. Most days i just let them eat at school, but they complain that the food is gross or cold, yadda yadda. So if there is something on the menu that i KNOW they don't like, i will send them with a lunch. Annnd this is where the problem lies..you can either get a pre-packaged thing with meat, cheese, and crackers, etc. or make something yourself and also save lots of money(and unnecessary calories!) But if i want to send them to school with something i want to stay cold, like deli meat, it would be warm in a typical lunchbox-but not in a Lunchbots! It is made out of stainless steel! Which means, hot foods stay hot and cold foods stay cold!! I LOVE that! And most importantly, it means that you do not have to check the bottom of your tupperware any longer to see if it contains that dreaded and poisonous BPA! This is 100% safe! So go ahead and send deli cuts, turkey sandwiches, PB&J, cucumbers with ranch, cheese and crackers, juice boxes, water bottles, soup, OH i could go on and on! hehehe I'm so excited-can you tell?? :D
So do yourself and me a big favor and check them out! They have different size containers to fit your need! Here they are on Facebook- http://www.facebook.com/#!/LunchBots and here is their website- http://www.lunchbots.com/ and today is Cyber Monday and they are having some GREAT sales! Hurry hurry! :D
Anyways, i will come back and report what i did with my LunchBots when it comes in the mail! I'm so excited to create a yummy lunch for them and send them to school with such a unique and awesome lunch container! I'll be back with my review soon! Come back yall! *I'm a Bzz Agent and you can be too! Go to BzzAgent.com and sign-up and you can can receive free offers like me! It's fun AND free-why not??!

Burts Bees Sensitive Care Line

2011-10-13T06:59:00.000-07:00

Today i MUST talk about how much i love Burts Bees! Their products are so natural and they WORK! They do what they are meant to do and gently at that. Recently, i was given a package of their new Sensitive care line from BzzAgent.com. I received the Sensitive daily moisturizing cream with cotton extract and the Sensitive facial cleanser. Right away i tried the moisturizing cream becaus ei have been so frustrated lately with my very dry skin and not being able to find anything that works on it. I have been having patches of super dry skin that when makeup covers it, it looks terrible! So i can't even wear makeup right now. :( Anyways, i put some of the cream on and it felt smooth and soft to the touch and when i put it on my face it felt so good! I noticed right away that there was no burning feeling as i usually feel with every other lotions or creams. I was beyond happy! Once my face was dry, my skin felt SO SOFT! It lasted a very long time too! I really love this stuff and i cannot wait to share my samples with my friends tomorrow!
The next day while in the shower, i used the facial moisturizer. It claimed to clean deeper then any other facial washes and closes the pores so you get a deep down clean that also helps you have a beautiful complexion. Well it worked! I felt it cleaning as i rubbed it in, i felt the small tingling sensation that let you know it was working, and when i got out i FELT clean! Then before it dried completely i put on some of the moisturizing cream to make my skin hold onto the moisture i had and Oh My Gosh-Awesome!!!!! This is the best coupling of products i have ever used! It is amazing how well these two products compliment each other!
If you want products that are natural, gentle, works great, and gives you the best looking complexion possible, you NEED these products! The fact that they have a cotton extract has to tell you how incredible and revolutionary these products really are! So go out and find these products! I also have some coupons if you wanna leave me a comment, i'll mail them out to you! :) I love me some Burts Bees! ;)

LunchBots Duo Stainless Steel Snack Container

Tired of the same old Tupperware that you use for your lunch every day? Well, LunchBots provides a great alternative. Eco-friendly LunchBots are lunch and snack containers made from the highest quality 18/8 food-grade stainless steel. Even the lids are stainless steel, so there is no plastic anywhere in their makeup. Ideal containers for packing a sandwich, sushi, burrito, or whatever you might want to stow away for lunch. LunchBots are perfect to tuck into the kids’ backpack as they head off for school or your briefcase before you depart for work.

I would LOVE the opportunity to try this out! I have such a hard time trying to figure out how to send my boys to school with their lunch without worrying about it getting soggy, or not the right temperature! So it kind of limits what they can take to school. With this your hot foods stay hot and your cold foods stay cold! I love it! Why didn't anyone think of this before? :)
Well i hope Bzzagent picks me to try it out! I would be SUPER excited!!!!! I'll let ya know! ;)
