School is back in session and that means that I have to have a lot of snacks on hand. The kids pack their lunches most days, have snack time at school and usually ask for a snack when they get home.

Their favorite snack is cheese crackers of course, they love Goldfish. We recently were able to try the new Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Puffs.

At first I thought they were going to be like the puffs for babies, just a bigger cracker. These looked like a chip kind of, or as my daughter say a Cheetos chip. They taste exactly like them too. A cheesy puff snack.

They have different flavors of the snacks:
Mega Cheese
Cheddar Bacon
Buffalo Wing

My favorite is the mega cheese, it is just the right amount of cheese and a perfect snack. My kids took a liking to the Cheddar Bacon and My daughter like the Buffalo Wings. These snacks do stick to your fingers so if you send them as a snack to school, make sure you pack some napkins.

What’s your favorite Goldfish snack?

Udi’s Has Brought The Fun Back For My Family #Allergy #SP #DairyFree

Having allergies in my family is not fun at all, there are certain things my son and husband can’t eat. They have a dairy intolerance and have to miss out on almost all desserts and breads.

When we first found out we had milk intolerance, it was so hard everything had to change. I had to change our diets and the way I cook, we have to miss out on a lot of our favorite foods.

We were introduced to Udi’s food last year and I am being honest when I saw that it has changed our lives. My family can enjoy things like muffins, bagels, bread, and even cinnamon rolls without having to worry about milk. They are all Dairy free.

when I opened the box, the muffins and cinnamon rolls were gone the same day. My kids and husband couldn’t get enough of them. The cinnamon rolls even come with a icing topping.

If you have a food allergy, whether it be dairy, nut, gluten etc. I suggest you try Udi’s.

First Spelling Test on the fridge

- brandy3

My daughter has always been great at spelling. Last year she was getting 100% on every spelling test.
This year I feel the same thing will be happening.
Her first test has been put on the fridge.

She wants to ask the school to enter into a spelling bee, which makes me a little nervous since she is only in 3rd grade. I am proud of her working so hard and studying everyday.

We go through batteries really fast in my house. We just use electronics that much, mainly the kids toys or video game systems etc.  We have rechargeable batteries but need regular batteries in between.

When I heard about Duracell Quantum, I really wanted to try them. They say that they last longer than any other alkaline battery.

  • Duracell Quantum, with its Hi-Density Core that stores more power than ever before, is the single solution for all household needs from remote controls to kid’s toys.
  • Duracell Quantum features PowerCheck on the battery cell so you will always know how much power is left in the battery – so nothing is wasted!

*** we have these batteries in the kids Leapfrog handheld games, which go through batteries the fastest, to see how long they will last. So far day one is going good. So far one of my favorite features about the battery is the power check. I never know how much life is left in a battery and I hate throwing it out not knowing. So being able to see just how much life is left on a battery is a big plus. My daughters favorite feature is that they are the color red.

Duracell donated 1 million of these powerful batteries to first responders across the country to help protect our families. Yes, you read that right 1 million!

 

One of my readers will win a 20 pack of AA Duracell Quantum batteries.

Just watch the video and leave me a comment on your thoughts. (video is very emotional and sweet, you might cry).

Finding the Right Prenatal Vitamin

- brandy3 1 Comment

Disclosure: This is a compensated post written for a company through Blogvertise. All opinions are 100% my own.

When I was pregnant with all 3 of my children, I rarely ever took prenatal vitamins because they made me sick.  So the doctor would prescribe me either gummy vitamins or a liquid vitamin, to help. It still made me a little nauseous but I was able to keep it down.

I did a lot of research about prenatal vitamins and discovered that they do have a great liquid prenatal vitamins.  Prenatal Liquid Vitamins have all the nutrients that regular prenatal vitamins have.

They have:

  • 100% organic certified folate
  • All natural, whole food nutrients
  • better absorption
  • Over 22 vitamins and minerals, including Iron, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Zinc and more….

I loves taking a liquid vitamin, compared to a pill, pills always made me gag and honestly they are really big pills. I would always forget to take the pills as they were in my cupboard, with the Liquid Prenatal in your fridge it’s the first thing you see at breakfast.   First and foremost though you want to make sure you are taking a prenatal vitamin for your unborn child.

Did you take a liquid prenatal vitamin when you were pregnant?

12 Years and We Still Remember

- brandy3

Today is the 12th anniversary of September 11, 2001. What started out as a beautiful day turned to tragedy.  I was living in AZ at the time and was in high school, so when I woke up at 6:30 AM, it was already on the news. I was just in shock.

When I got to my first period class, we did nothing but watch TV. That seemed to be the pattern all day, every class had a TV on even in the cafeteria. The teachers tried to get us to focus on school, but it was even hard for the to concentrate.  It just wouldn’t stop  The towers crumbled, then a plane into the Pentagon, and the plane that crashed in PA.

I remember being in my last class for the day Drama.  There was a poster on the wall, for a some kind of theater meeting.  I can it had various cities and dates on it as like a tour or something. Anyway, the last date was For New York City September 11, 2001 in Twin Towers. I think specific it was tower 1. My heart sank, do you know how many teenagers probably attended that?

I always think about that, how horrible.

So today this will be the only thing I post to remember all those who lost their lives on this tragic day 12 years ago.
