Yoplait Greek Prize Pack Giveaway 5/20

I received my Yoplait prize pack in the mail yesterday!  It included a reusable grocery bag, a magnetic dry-erase menu planner board, ear-buds, an electronics case, and a shopping cart list and holder, a coupon organizer, as well as a free Yoplait Greek yogurt to try...

In the evening, I went looking for a snack and discovered that my Yoplait greek yogurt container was empty!  It turns out that my 7 year old (sunshine boy) ate the yogurt before I could get to it...so I told him: "Guess who gets to review it?"  ;)  So here are 7-yr old K's thoughts on the matter:
It was good (I love blueberries, mmm!), it was purple, it was tangy, I forgot to smell it (but I`m sure it smelled good), It was soft and squishy. I think we should buy some more."  -7 yr old yogurt thief. ;)




Try It!   
Here is a Printable coupon so you can try it too!

Review: Bloom Avenue, Giveaway Coming Soon!

I received the prettiest, springiest bouquet of flowers delivered right to my door today!  They are so colorful and beautiful that they totally brightened up the whole room!  They were delivered on time by a local florist that is not the closest to my location, but just happens to be my favorite!  They always do such an amazing job!
This bouquet was beautifully and carefully arranged with a lovely mixture of pink and orange gerbera daisies, tulips, roses, mums as well as sprigs of fresh greens.  It came in a pretty ceramic garden dish accented with shiny pink ribbons.
They were ordered through a new website called Bloom Avenue.  When you order a flower gift through Bloom Avenue they make it super easy!  Choose a flower arrangement that you like from their website and they do the work of finding the highest quality florist in your desired location and having your order delivered to the place of your choice. 

Bloom Avenue describes their mission as helping you express your sentiment through beautiful flowers, at the right price, and delivered in a timely manner.

These would make a wonderful surprise for Mothers Day or Easter of any occasion.


Win flowers!

Review and Giveaway: ChicoBags




Pros:  Earth friendly and made from recycled plastic; so many great colors and designs; many styles and sizes to choose from; sturdy; light weight; easy to store, washable, water resistant,

Cons:  Magnetic closures may not stop objects from falling out, and large space capacity may tempt me to carry more than I should.

Summary: If you are looking for a wonderful, spacious, earth-friendly, reusable bag with style to tote all of your stuff in, this is a great one!

Purchase it:  at ChicoBag.com

Full Review:
I was so surprised how light weight my ChicoBag package was when it came in the mail!  I was also surprised how spacious the bag is... it seems much bigger than it looks on-line! This Messenger10 bag features 2 cocooned pockets to keep your water bottles snug, one large inner compartment as well as 2 zippered pockets, a comfortable adjustable strap, and magnetic and zipper closures.

This bag could easily fit a beach towel, sun lotion, water bottle and a good book!  It would also make a great school bag, a picnic bag, or even a great small diaper bag... Although I love the magnetic closures on the front flap, they may allow things to fall out easily if tipped or dropped.



The fabric in these bags is made with a material called rePETe™ who's main ingredient happens to be a type of recycled plastic (the same plastic used in drinking bottles)! Who knew that recycled plastic could be so pretty and useful?!  The rest of the bag (zippers, straps, pockets and tags) is made of recycled materials as well. These reusable bags are super light-weight and sturdy.  I love that they all fold up into a tiny pouch with a hook to make them super convenient to travel with!

ChicoBags come in a wide variety of styles, colors and uses...from school to grocery shopping, biking, or camping, or a day at the beach...there is a bag style for every occasion!
