Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
As you may know, I’m a proud Cat Mommy! The Simply Sweet Home cats pretty much rule this place; I just live here. We recently received samples of Tidy Cats with Glade Odor Solutions. We’ve always been Tidy Cats customers ever since I brought Rebel and Dixie home, and I was really excited to try this new variety. [Read more…]
Popcorn is great any time of year. But it’s especially a great great for summer road trips, camping, and your kid’s slumber parties! I was very excited to receive a sampler pack of G.H. Creators Popped Corn. They make great popcorn the old fashioned and their products are all natural and taste delicious! [Read more…]
You may recall a few week’s ago I told you that I had been selected to be a Gold Emblem Taste Makers, and I shared with you my first round of snacks. Now it’s time for Round 2! Woot!
This time CVS sent me a cute red card filled with snacks that are great for on the go:
Do you love frozen cocktails? Old World Gourmet makes it easy and convenient for you to serve frozen cocktails at your next party. Simply add their drink mix to wine or the specified liquor and some ice, and then blend you’ve got delicious pitcher of drink in seconds. Or mix everything together and chill in the few for few hours to get the perfect slushie consistency!
Their Wine and Cocktail Mixers come in a variety of flavors including Margarita, Sangria, Cosmopolitan, and more!
I received their Margarita Mix and Vodka Lemon Mix. Each 12 oz. package comes with 2 pouches, and each pouch will make a pitcher of the cocktail. [Read more…]
Everyone who reads this blog should guess immediately that I have a sweet tooth! I love cakes, cookies, and I LOVE candy! Recently I was given a chance to try some candy, but this time the candy is SUGAR FREE! I’m talking about Werther’s Original Sugar Free Candy. I received this lovely gift box goodies:
In side the contents of the box was a Werther’s Original Sugar Free Candy Jar and enough candy to fill the jar twice, plus four additional bags of Werther’s Original Sugar Free Candy in the following flavors: Original, Caramel Apple, Caramel Cinnamon, and Caramel Coffee. [Read more…]
As you know, I love trying out new foods, especially snacks! Recently I was introduced to the Gold Emblem brand of snacks available exclusively at CVS. The line includes nuts, trail mix, pretzels, candy, crackers and cookies. With a line up like that, I didn’t hesitate to say yes when I was asked to sample some of their products. [Read more…]
Spring is finally here! And I’m really excited to leave my sweaters in closet and break out my cute spring wardrobe! But as the hot summer approaches, I have to think more and more about my skincare regimen. It is always so hot and muggy here, that just going outside for a short time can make my skin break out. For this reason, I try to stay indoors as much as possible and cling to my computer! (Haha.) But even I have to go outside sometimes, so I am very happy to add Olay Fresh Effects to my skincare routine. [Read more…]
Many of us are dealing with the worries of having an aging parent. My dad will be 60 this year, and ever since he had a heart attack 8 years ago, I worry about something happening to him. He also lives alone out in the country, and is always working outdoors, which gives me even more reason to worry!
The Genesis Phone is a new phone currently in development. It is a 24/7 support system for you and your family. It makes it easy for your loved one to call you. (My dad has trouble with the latest technology and always wants simple phone just to call from with out all the “extra junk.”)
And apart from being a phone that you can call from, the phone is equipped with GPS so that you can locate your loved ones. This feature actually comes in handy not just for seniors, but also for kids, or anyone else you want to keep track of.
The phone is also connected to a 24/7 Emergency center that your loved ones can call if they need help.
And finally the feature I found to be most unique is the auto-reminder feature. If you have a parent who often forgets what time to take medicine or which medicines to take, you can set auto reminders to tell them. Or perhaps set reminders about doctor’s appointments or other meetings and errands. This was also be great for kids. Perhaps they need a reminder about who will be picking them up from school or a reminder to turn in field trip money, or something of that nature.
The Genesis Gem sounds like it will be a great product to help keep you connected to your loved ones and make your job as a caregiver easier and lot more care-free.
Disclosure: For writing this post, I was compensated with an Amazon gift card. However, the opinions are my own.
I love cooking, but I do NOT love washing dishes! Even if I use the dishwasher, I usually have to do a lot of pre-rinsing and washing, particularly on sticky foods like cakes and casseroles, and if I don’t do this, I will mostly like have to re-wash dishes and that is no fun at all. Not to mention, it is a huge waste of my time. (And if you forget and leave these dishes in your dishwasher, they can get pretty disgusting!) With all this in mind, I was happy when I got the opportunity to take the Finish Rise & Shine Challenge this week from Finish® Quantum®.
Sidewalk Chalk is a great item for Easter baskets and birthday party goody bags. This spring RoseArt is rolling out Surprise Inside Sidewalk Chalk. The chalk comes in 5 different varieties, each of which includes 7 pieces of chalk and a surprise figurine inside. [Read more…]
