Ever have a bon bon? Since I’m a stay at home mom and supposedly all I do is eat bon bons all day, I thought I better try one.  What did I learn?  South’n France makes excellent bon bons.  I could eat them all day!  They have seven award winning flavors though I think my favorite was the chocolate chip cookie dough.  These make an excellent gift for any occasion.  These bon bons have no preservatives.  However, you can keep them in the fridge up to 4 weeks and in the freezer for up to 4 months.  They have something for every price point you are looking for too!


Gifts are always about the thought . . .  well, this one has a lot of flavor too!

We recently tried out the new Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Apple Jacks here in my house.  Both are eaten in my house, so I happily was willing to try out the new Kellogg’s Froot Loops and Apple Jacks With Fiber.  I did a taste test with my kids to see if they could tell the difference.  Guess what?  They ate up the Froot Loops with Fiber and the Apple Jacks with Fiber, and they had no idea!  Madison is especially picky, and she loved them.


I’ll admit that both these cereals probably aren’t the most healthiest ones out there.  However, I love that they are trying to make it more healthy.  Most of us don’t get enough fiber in our diets, and this is a great way to get fibers benefits.  What benefits?  Fiber aids in digestion, helps us to feel more full, and looks after our hearts (just to name a few benefits).  Who wouldn’t want that for breakfast every morning in a great tasting cereal?


I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Kellogg’s and received boxes of Froot Loops and Apple Jacks and a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

I’ve always been a fan of Crystal Light. I can’t stand drinking plain old water and the flavor Crystal Light adds to my water is what I need. I do have to admit that I was shocked by the new packaging they now are using. I am so use to the old cups that it floored me that they changed. With that being said, I do like the change. The packaging is much more modern looking. Instead of the cups, there are easy to open packets. There is also a clear window on the packaging, so now you will know when you are running low. The best part is that this new packaging will use 250 less tons of packaging each year. That’s a lot of trash!


Crystal Light has the same great taste — just in a much more environmentally friendly packaging. Go check it out!

I am always a fan of anything covered in chocolate. However, when you cover pretzels in chocolate, you know they are going to be good. However, I’ve actually never tasted anything as good as Fretzels. Bill, my hubby, actually wants me to order more! That’s how much he loved them!


Fretzels by Jill are hand-dipped designer gourmet chocolate covered pretzels that are drenched in milk, dark, or white chocolate and adorned with a variety of candy toppings. You can pretty much get whatever you want on your pretzel. They even have specialty flavors like SugarPlum and Eggnog, and their latest Fretzels pretzel Bark – available in Espresso and Peppermint for the holidays. Each Fretzel is made with the perfect pretzel to chocolate and topping ratio, providing a multi-sensory taste experience with every bite.


Fretzels are a perfect stocking stuffer or gift for Christmas. By far, these are some of the best pretzels I’ve ever eaten, and I can only highly recommend them!

If you want to send a great gift and brighten a solder’s day, then you need to use Bake Me A Wish. Five percent of each cake they sell goes to a program they created called Operation: Birthday Cake, which sends cakes to our military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan on or close to their birthdays. Every holiday Bake Me a Wish! ships hundreds of cakes to the soldiers to add some sweetness to the holiday and offer a taste from home too.


How do they taste? Yummy! We tried the brownie cake and I have to admit it was very rich. It was like no other brownie I’ve ever tried. The topping on the brownie made it all the better! I would definitely order another one of these again! It will definitely take a couple of days to finish off one of these, but you’ll enjoy every single bite.

My kids LOVE this. I just can’t say LOVE enough. Capitalizing LOVE doesn’t even describe it. Basically, what the Moo Mixer is a push button mixer. However, it’s easy enough for both my kids (2 and 5 to use). They actually fight over who can do their milk first (I also have chocolate milk lovers in my house too). This is how easy this is:


Add milk:




Add chocolate:



Hit button to stir:



It is that easy! Granted, a spoon is much cheaper, but nowhere near as fun. We actually hide it from the kids when not in use, because otherwise, all they would do is play with it. I would recommend the Mr. Twister Moo Mixer for any house who has little ones that like chocolate milk.
