The Best Gift Idea For Kids From ForeverStrong Apparel

When it comes to getting kid gifts, let’s face it, thinking about receiving AND buying toys will give you anxiety. Just the thought of adding to the already mountains of toy clutter makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty nail. A little dramatic, yes, but none the less true. So, to avoid said gouging, I am always looking for cute, non-toy alternative gift idea for kids and their little buddies and I think we hit the jackpot with these adorable BFF shirts for kids from ForeverStrong Apparel. These make me so nostalgic to when I was…

Renuzit Pearl Scents Air Freshener

They say scents can take you back to places with in seconds of smelling. Like a wiff of someones perfume might remind you of a relative, like Grandma. Or the smell of grass might remind you of those early morning soccer or baseball games as a kid. For me, smells are huge and if something doesn’t sit well with my trusty ole nostrils, it could seriously make or break it for me. Since we have been on our house hunting journey, if a house doesn’t smell right…it could be a no go for me. You might think I’m crazy, but…

Chili Nation: HORMEL Chili Empanadas

Down here in Florida, we are a melting pot of influences from Latin American, Cuba and the Caribbean. You can walk into any Publix and find deliciously fresh empanadas, croquettas and fresh Cuban bread. Empanadas are one of my all time faves so when the opportunity came from Hormel to represent Florida cuisine, this was a no brainer! Being only 90 miles away from Cuba and a couple hour boat ride to the Bahamas & Caribbean, South Florida is jammed packed with authentic, Latin flavor. Empanadas are typically filled with meats, cheeses, guava or a mix of both cheese and guava….

Papalani Gelato Opens in Delray Beach

Papalani Gelato has brought the tastes of Hawaii to Delray Beach! They have opened it’s doors to the public as of May 2015 giving the area a taste for some deliciously Hawaiian-inspired gelato. Papalani Gelato is all about staying true to it’s roots and only serving up the freshest, cleanest ingredients – I’m talking about organic, non-GMO, gluten-free & vegan options. I was able to visit the newest location that opened up in Addison Place Shopping Center right on the Boca Raton/Delray Beach borderline. Talk about a Polynesian experience! I felt like I was transported to a funky hut off the beaches of…

G.H. Cretors Popcorn Comes To Florida!

And I couldn’t be more excited! Popcorn comes in all varieties of deliciousness, from those giant tub trio’s to the ones of the Pirate persuasion and everything in between. It is doused with butter at movie theaters, covered in caramel at the boardwalk and kettle popped for the sweetest kernels you’ll ever taste! One of my newest, favorite snacks has been mastered by the Popcorn Kings of Chicago – G.H. Cretors. G.H. Cretors have been around since 1885 popping fresh, delicious corn the old fashioned way – in copper kettles, one batch at a time. They have perfected these tiny clouds…

Relaxing at Home with GlamSQUAD & Zeel Massage

I know I can’t be the only one who has had days where you wish you didn’t have to leave your house to get things done. A day free of getting in and out of a car and driving from store to store to do what you need to do. While after a long day of work you could just snap your fingers a masseuse would show up on our door step, ready and willing to relieve your achy muscles. You know, while the personal chef was cooking a 5 course dinner for you, a maid is folding all your laundry and your whole house has been rid of toys…

You will be surprised how much food you will get with this Healthy Burrito Bowl and it won’t feel like you need to rolled out of you kitchen after eating it.

Believe me, as much as I love me some delicious carbs, I can promise that you will not even miss them! By simply swapping out…

Mom’s Survive Summer Giveaway!

We are one month closer to Summer! (A collective groan is heard around the world from mom’s) There was nothing better than summer when I was a kid, and frankly, as an adult, it still is kicks butt. I have to admit, I am a little nervous though about this summer. See, it is my first summer after having my oldest in preschool 3 days a week. I have been racking my brain on how to keep her busy. We do take a couple trips up north to see family over the summer (when all the snow is melted!), but what about…
