Best party ever! #vocalpoint #fisher-price

Oh my goodness I have hosted a lot of parties in the past but this one was probably one of the best ones ever. I always love getting new toys but I have never been able to share so many items with my friends.

we got to try out two new toys the Laugh and Learn Smart Stages train and the Laugh and Learn Smart Stages Chair. I was super excited about the train because my almost two year old LOVES trains so I knew this was going to be a success no matter what. I was right, the train not only has sounds and lights it MOVES!!! I love how both toys have three stages for learning because toys are EXPENSIVE and it's so awesome that I can buy my little guy a toy and he will not get tired of it for several more years. I also like that some of the things it talked about involved my kids getting up and moving around. There are three parts to this train so with several kids at the party it was nice to be able to hand the parts out to different kids and they all were entertained. I am not going to lie when I saw the chair I was like, hummm what in the world am I going to do with this and will the kids even like it since it doesn't move? However this toy was such a hit with the kids they all wanted to sit in the chair! I could not believe how happy they were with the chair and how entertaining it was for the kids. I also liked how this product has the three different learning stages which grow with my child. My older kids (ages 4, 6, 8 ) all enjoy the third level of fun. I would recommend both of the toys for mommies to get their kiddos. 

I was given this fun pack from Vocalpoint in exchange for my review. All words expressed here are my own. 

Truvia brown sugar #yaybrown

Since I hosted a Truvia lemonade stand Truvia wanted to send me some of their newest product which I was extremly happy to try for them. Truvia has come out with their own line of brown sugar! I was so excited and the day I got it I had planned to make cookies anyways so it was perfect. I used the truvia sugar and brown sugar and was excited to see how they would taste. I thought that with all honesty the flavor was almost exactly like my regular recipe, I don't think if I served them to anyone they would notice a difference in taste. I wish I could be told how many calories are saved per cookie because when I eat cookies I love to eat a ton of cookies :) I have only one complaint since you use less product because somehow it still tastes the same but your other ingredients seem to be more, not sure if that makes since but you don't end up with quite as much product. My usual recipe of cookies makes 36 this recipe only made 30 so because of using smaller amounts of my sugar and brown sugar it made less cookies. I am not really complaining about that but people need to think about that when they use it because some may want to adjust a bit of the other ingredients as well. I am so excited that no one notices the difference that I will be using this product all the time.

Truvia sent me a free sample of this product and asked if I would review it, all comments here are mine and I thank you for checking out my blog.

#Kingsfordcrew product review

I was so excited to get to have a party with my favorite people with some Kingsford product over Labor Day weekend. I have a Kingsford grill as you can see in the picture. It is our awesome grill that I won in a grocery store giveaway about 20 years ago! My parents kept it in storage for us until a few years ago so it is still in really nice shape. I have to say we are always careful with our money so we often try store or off-brand products and we learned the hard way that there is no substitute for Kingsford charcoal. We were to the point where we just thought we didn't know what we were doing but it turns out that cheap charcoal just doesn't do the job. We will only ever buy Kingsford grilling products again.

thanks crowdtap of letting me try out a product I already love and give my honest review here with my own words. 

Skintimate® Mandarin Burst Moisturizing Shave Gel Review

I was excited to get to try this FRESH new product from Skintimate- I love the summery smell and I also loved how creamy it goes onto my legs. I love how silky smooth my legs felt after I was done as well. I also think the product is priced great. I huge bottle for only 3 bucks and if you are like me that will last you a long time!

thanks crowdtap for letting me try this product in exchange for my review. All the statements here are mine. 

Well Beginnings Baby product review

I got the chance to try out Well Beginning baby products from Walgreens thanks to Mom's Meet and I have to say when I found out I gotten this opportunity I was super excited because their products had caught my eye but I was nervous to try them. I had also seen an amazing deal they had run that had these diapers on some kind of sale that they were super cheap. I have to say I was very impressed with the diapers and the wipes. I will give a short review about all of the products we received. We got the diapers and noticed that they don't bunch or get too loose in the middle which is a problem that I have always had with a few brands my kids have used. These had a great fit and stayed fitting great even after they had something in them. No sagging here! The diapers also have vitamin E and aloe in them to keep Javan's little bottom protected. I also found out that through size two the diapers have the wetness indicator on them. And I don't know about anyone else but when they invented that I thought it was just about the coolest thing ever.

I LOVED the wipes- I like a thicker wipe which these are for sure and I also though the textured design on them actually helped with what it was supposed to help with. So that is always a plus. We also go to try the baby wash which Javan seemed to like. I enjoyed the light scent and thought it worked great. The last product we got was the pediatric electrolyte solution- I am very cautious about how often and when I give this to my kiddos that we haven't actually used it yet, but the bottle looks great and I was very happy to know that Walgreens sells it. Another good thing to note is that all of these great product are made right here in the USA, you can't say that about many companies anymore.

 I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms MeetSM program, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms MeetsSM blogger, I agreed to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of the product. 

#TruFanStand!

Well we had a fun time this weekend hosting a Lemonade stand at our house. The kids were great and helped to make the sign for me.

Truvia and crowdtap sent me a full sized baking blend pack and a full sized spoon able truvia product. I was very skeptical of the product making my cookies taste different. I have been making the same cookies since I was a jr in high school I was going to notice. Yet after using the product I DIDN'T notice. I was impressed. We also made freshly squeezed lemonade mad lemon limeade and they also tasted really awesome. The Truvia package said that you can have the same great taste with 75% less calories and I have to say I really was impressed. Thank you Crowdtap and Truvia for letting me try this great product free and giving me a chance to voice my opinion on the product. Let me know if you plan to make the #sweetswitch. I am interested to hear what others say.

Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango Body Wash review and giveaway

If you have read any of my other blog posts you will know already that I LOVE dial products. I grew up with them in my house when all they made was their bright orange bar soap, to watching them in the last few years just jump up on their new released products and I am beyond thrilled. The newest member to the Dial family is their Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash. This is a great body wash and I really love the scent.

Dial has always been a leader in skin care and really wants to give their consumer a hydrating body wash, that is another reason I love this product. With my other body washes I have to put lotion on as soon as I get out of the shower or I get that tight dry skin feeling but with this body wash my skin feels moisturized and nourished without the lotion leaving my skin feeling very healthy. I have three free product coupons you do not want to miss out on so answer the questions below so that you can be transported to a beautiful tropical oasis during your next shower!

THe Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed are my own.
