Smart Ones – A Smart Choice for Breakfast!

October 9, 2013 By Anne

This post was created in partnership with Smart Ones®. All opinions are my own.

I am a breakfast eater. I love breakfast foods! Mostly eggs, bacon and potatoes. But those are not great foods to eat everyday. With the holidays a coming I need to watch what I eat so I can eat those special treats that I will be baking soon.

Smart Ones has some great options to choose from. They have a new oatmeal that you can take from the freezer and just pop in into the microwave with all kinds of yummy ingredients!

It comes in three delicious varieties: Apple & Cinnamon, Maple & Brown Sugar and Peaches & Cream. I received some coupons to try this tasty new breakfast and I chose the Apple and Cinnamon. It was easy to make and delicious to eat! The Peaches and Cream sound wonderful once winter comes.

Is Your Cat A Light Weight?

October 9, 2013 By Anne

You know I have two cats, right? No? Well I do – Spice and Zena. We adopted them about two years ago and they are a big part of our family.

I love everything about our kitties except for the cat litter. I mean who really likes lugging those 45 pound boxes in the store, to the car, in the house and then pouring it into the pan? Anyone? I didn’t think so.

I was asked to review the New Tidy Cats Lightweight cat litter. Could id be possible? I light cat litter?

It is!! My daughter can even carry it!

Tidy Cats Lightweight is 50% lighter than most other brands is 99% dust free and has a money back guarantee. Awesome! But does it do it’s job….

Yes!! It does! I liked Tidy Cats before but always had another brand on hand. But really, I’m switching altogether. It’s hard to lift those heavy boxes to refill the litter box and this is so darn easy!

Do you have cats? Have you tried this? You have to at least try it!!

Yoplait – Lids to Save Lives #MyBlogSpark

October 8, 2013 By Anne

“Disclosure: The information and prize pack have been provided by General Mills through MyBlogSpark

It all started fifteen years ago when a Yoplait employee got a group of fellow employees together for breast cancer run. Since then General Mills has contributed more than 50 million dollars to breast cancers causes. One of those is the Lids to Save Lives campaign.

This campaign is going on right now and is so easy to participate in. We eat a lot of Yoplait yogurt in our house. My son eats most of it. I figure it’s a healthy snack for after school and he likes it so why not? He knows when he sees a pink lid he is to wash it off and save it so I can mail them in.

Instead of mailing the lids in, you also have the option to enter the codes on line.

This year, people are being asked to participate in Pledge Your Part, a new online initiative designed to encourage and empower them to make a pledge to help fight breast cancer, whether through saving lids, participating in a breast cancer awareness event, or in any way they choose.

Right now Publix has Yoplait yogurt on sale for 20 for $10.00 which is .50 cents! That’s a great deal plus there is a coupon for $.40 off six at Coupons.com.

Do you eat Yoplait yogurt? Do you save your lids?

Wonder Woman Costume

October 8, 2013 By Anne

We received the below product to review. All opinions are my own.

Did you know it’s been 71 years since Wonder Woman came out? Not the TV series but into comic books. The TV series started 38 years ago and ran for four years. I remember watching that as a child. Wonder Woman was depicted as a heroine fighting for justice, love, peace, and sexual equality. Wonder Woman is a warrior princess of the Amazons (based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and is known in her homeland as Princess Diana of Themyscira. (from Wikipedia)

Little girls today still want to be Wonder Woman! They have no idea who Linda Carter is or what the show was like but a cool costume and a great name, why not?

When asked to review a costume from Anytime Costumes that is what my five year old daughter picked – Wonder Woman. It’s a great costume as it’s a dress with a belt. Also included was a bandana, arm sleeves and boot coverings. The cape is sewn into the dress so that will stay on. I love how easy the costume is to put on and she did not complain that it was itchy. The short sleeves are great for Florida Halloween’s as it’s still warm here. She’s love her new costume and can’t wait to wear it for Halloween.

She’s such a poser….
