This is the potatoes before you add the cheese sauce.

After the cheese sauce is added. It actually looks like sweet smashed potatoes with the orange color. The potatoes were very good. They had the Betty Crocker mashed potto flavor with just a hint of cheese.

I really enjoyed it, but think it is better without gravy or any additional flavoring. My kids won’t eat mashed potatoes without gravy.

You can find Betty Crocker Ultimates in a store near you.

I am giving away a Betty Crocker Ultimates prize pack.

1 winner will receive:

1 box of Ultimate Hamburger Helper

Build A Bear Workshop Introduces Princess Twilight Sparkle GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 268 Comments

Disclosure: No compensation was received. A product was provided for my review. All opinions are my own.

Build A Bear introduced their My Little Pony line earlier this year with just Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, two of the most popular characters. They have just added another Pony to the collection, Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Twilight Sparkle was just a fun loving pony and very good student. For her courage and responsibility    this year she became a Princess.   It was a very special moment for children and Brony’s everywhere.

Twilight Sparkle comes with her new set of purple wings and multi-colored mane.  Along with Twilight Sparkle Build A Bear Workshop is also introducing a miniature Spike.

20425m

 

He is the perfect addition to Twilight Sparkle as they are always together in the show.  He is so soft with his green scales.

We added Twilight Sparkle to our My Little Pony collection, and she fits in perfectly. My daughter just loves her and keeps commenting on how soft she is. Actually both my daughters fought over her at first, they said she was too beautiful.

You can add clothes, shoes, crown and sound to personalize her to your liking.

You can get Twilight Sparkle for $25, and Spike for $10. Does not include clothes or accessories which are sold separately.

V Tech Switch And Go Dinosaur Review and Giveaway #SP #Switchandgo #Vtech CLOSED

- brandy3 492 Comments

Disclosure: The VTech product, information, and additional gift pack have been provided by VTech.

I love when a toy interacts with my child, it makes it so much more fun.

V Tech Switch and Go Dinosaurs are dinosaurs that can turn into race cars. They have a collection of small dinosaurs and then there is Jagger the T-Rex.

IMG_0575

Jagger the T-Rex is huge, I was not expecting him to be that big. He is a lot of fun though, as he responds to voice commands, roars, and moves. When you are done playing with the dinosaur switch him around to a construction crane.
You can change his eyes, and change his voice (country voice). It’s really cute!

When you change him to a crane, he lights up and still follows commands.

IMG_0576

IMG_0577

We received Jagger the T-Rex and a assortment of small dinosaurs. He has not stopped playing with them since they arrived. He loves Dinosaurs and cars, it’s the best of both worlds for him.

I am giving away three small V Tech Switch and Go Dinosaurs to one lucky reader.

To enter visit V Tech and tell me your favorite?

Summer is slowly winding down, and while we haven’t really left home that much, we are still having fun. My kids have been doing so much arts and crafts this summer I have ran out of room to put up pictures.

Some of their favorite products keeping them busy are:

Crayola Washable Sidewalk Chalk

  • First Sidewalk chalk that features 48 different colors
  • a new anti-roll shape helps keeping chalk from rolling away when not in use.
  • washes away from sidewalks and driveways with a spray of water

Color Wonder Mini Stow and Go:

  • easy to take on the road with you this summer
  • Comes in a hard case so your child has a board for a writing surface and easy storage.
  • Each pack includes 15 pages of coloring paper and 3 markers

 

Color Wonder Mess Free Glitter Paper and Markers:

  • Have all the fun with Glitter but without the mess, as the glitter fun is only on paper.
  • Create Master Pieces with Disney Princess or Fairies
  • Kids will love seeing hidden images appear on the glitter paper.

My kids have been having so much fun this summer with everything. The Sidewalk chalk has been lighting up mu back porch. My kids have been drawing a big sun and the sky around it.   The Glitter paper is a favorite for my daughter as we don’t have glitter in the house much.

The stow and go is perfect for our car trips.   The kids are always fighting in the car, so  we always try and have something in the car for them to do.

Make A Pizza On The Grill GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 276 Comments

Disclosure: Information and prize packs were provided by Pillsbury through My Blog Spark. All opinions are my own.

I have never heard of or tried to make a pizza on the grill, but you can. I am going to try.

All you need is pizza ingredients and Pillsbury Pizza crust.
It’s simple to make just

970045_10151568723799563_1331993660_n

Just heat your grill (propane or charcoal) to medium heat. Then cut a aluminum foil sheet 14×14. Spray it down with cooking spray, then place dough on foil and spread. Place pizza on grill foil down, cook for 3 minutes uncovered. When bottom is golden brown remove from grill.

Using a spatula flip the crust over, so the uncooked side is down on foil. Put pizza sauce and cheese with toppings on pizza. Place foil on grill and cook 3-4 minutes covered until crust is golden brown and cheese is melting.

This was such a fun experience, my kids always want to help grill but I get nervous then being around the flames. So this was the perfect way for them to help. they put on all the toppings and I do the grilling.  The pizza tasted a little different than usual, but was still really good. really crispy.

Motor Oil Matters With $50 Gift Card GiveawayClosed

- brandy3 875 Comments

This is a compensated post with Motor Oil Matters, information and a gift card will be provided for posting. All opinions are my own.

Unknown

We keep our car well maintained as much as we can. We get the scheduled oil change every 3,000 miles and get maintenance done when we have the money.

It’s important to keep your scheduled oil changes, specially with summer road trips and people driving a lot more.

  • AAA expects between the major summer holidays of Memorial Day and Labor Day to aid over eight million motorists, and cautions drivers that auto maintenance is key to avoiding summertime travel breakdowns. Ensuring quality motor oil in your car is one way to prevent road trip problems.
  • Motor Oil Matters, or MOM, a new consumer education and industry watchdog program by the American Petroleum Institute, has been established to stress the benefits of quality licensed motor oils and call on to the carpet those who engage in deceptive practices.
  • Service-locator’s can be quick to offer discounted services to people who are looking to reduce their automotive maintenance costs.  Make sure your service provider is pouring quality motor oil into your car before you decide on a cheaper deal.

Next time you go for a oil change make sure they are doing everything the way they should. I have to admit when I got my first car, I took it for a tune up and they did nothing they should have. So now I always ask questions and do check lists.

Bring this check list with you next time you get a oil change.

I will be getting my next oil change in a month and will be using this checklist to help me out.

MOM Checklist

To get you started I am offering one lucky reader a $50 gift card to help with your oil change.

To enter tell me how often you get your oil changed?
