My Review

I was happy to receive the Curious Chef products that were sent to me! I was highly impressed when I received the box and opened it to see the amazing products inside! The box also has somewhere on it where it says "To" and "From" so it's great for gift giving that way! I had my little niece come over for a bake off! We baked some yummy Andes Mint Cookies. Her eyes lit up when she saw the fun products from Curious Chef! Her ultimate favorite was the timer! I think all kid's think timers are fascinating! She wanted to keep checking the timer! The measuring cups and measuring spoons were great to fit in her little hands! They were fun because they have different colors on them and they are shaped differently than regular measuring spoons and cups! She had great fun putting all the ingredients into the bowl we used to mix! The Large Poly Spoon is a very strong spoon that is sturdy! I love this spoon so much and I'm sure you will as well! I have baked many other times with my niece and this time was much easier cooking with her because we had the Curious Chef products to use!


I definitely recommend Curious Chef to you! This is a great company that will help you with teaching your kid's how to cook!

These are some of my favorite pictures! This is a stray cat we took in that became my best friend when I was a child! His name became the simple name of Kitty Kitty! Oh, how I loved him to pieces! I was devastated when he got cancer and we had to put him to sleep in December 1992. I put up pictures of him everywhere in my room and I believe that's how I coped with it! He is why I love cats to this day! He started my love for cats and I'm so thankful for him!

The Posh Puppy Boutique Review

3:08 PM







Have you heard of The Posh Puppy Boutique before? I honestly had never heard of this company until I started blogging! I was lucky enough to win a giveaway hosted on a blog so I was able to try some of their products out!

I picked some dog cookies that were for Halloween at the time and I also picked out a toy for my dog, Lucky that I was hoping he'd love!



I picked out the Sports Loofa Dog Toy 18"! I had seen these kind of toys on tv and how dogs love them so I wanted to see for myself. When we first got it we thought it just squeaked in the middle and we couldn't get it to squeak very well so Lucky wasn't to impressed! He loves anything that squeaks so that is usually what gets his attention on toys!

One day Lucky was playing with his new toy and he found a new place that the toy squeaked. The toy has a squeaker in his head! I couldn't believe we hadn't noticed that earlier. This toy became Lucky's favorite toy and I honestly mean that!

Last night I kept putting two toys up to Lucky and he kept grabbing the Sports Loofa Dog Toy only! I'm so happy that I picked this toy! When this toy wears out I will have to buy another one because it is Lucky's favorite toy!


Lucky also chowed down the cookie treats and loved them to pieces! I know any dog would love their baked treats! It's fun because they have baked treats for all the holidays. Visit their baked treats HERE.

The Posh Puppy Boutique sells many other things! They have leashes, carriers, clothes, treats, bowls, and etc. I also just found today that they carry cat items! Check the cat items out here.

If you have an animal I know you'll enjoy looking around at The Posh Puppy Boutique!


Visit them today!



This is just Lucky's honest opinion on his favorite toy and treats he loved! I wanted to share this information with my readers and there was no connection with The Posh Puppy Boutique on writing this post. I just won a giveaway and reviewed that!

Giveaway is closed!
 
Winner is:
 
#218 Kelly








Flirty Aprons is a company that sells many fun aprons! They have many styles and patterns! When I saw all the aprons Flirty Aprons has to offer I was definitely in love with them all! I love that wearing Flirty Aprons will really put the fun back into the kitchen! Especially for me!!





The great thing about Flirty Apron is they have many aprons for men, woman, and children! It's great that you can get matching aprons! You can purchase matching aprons for you and your child! I know your child would think that was very fun!

I also think that these aprons would make a really great bridal shower gift! I'm excited to know of this idea now! I have personally never seen someone receive an apron at a bridal shower so it'd be great to give a Flirty Apron for  an unique gift to have heads turning to see what the bride received!








THINGS I LOVE ABOUT FLIRTY APRONS:

- The company is based in Utah
- Fast shipping
- Great customer service
- Aprons are made out of highest quality fabric
- They have a 30 day guarantee
- They have same day shipping
- They have a great selection of aprons





I was able to choose which apron I wanted to review. It was a very hard decision, but I picked the Woman's Apron Original Chic Pink! I thought this apron was super cute and it is a very girly apron with the pink! This apron retails for $29.95.



Product Details

Cooking, cleaning, gardening or doing crafts-the Original Women’s apron is ideal for every woman who wants to look and feel beautiful while going about her day. Women will love wearing this 100% cotton apron.


-30 Day Money-Back guarantee
-One Size Fits All
-100% Soft Cotton Fabric
-Quality 2-Ply Construction
-Won't Fade or Tear







MY REVIEW

I was highly impressed with Flirty Aprons fast response and great customer service! Their shipping was super fast as well! You will be impressed with it! The Flirty Apron arrives in a cute little box with cute handles. The apron is made out of great fabric! I love the cute pockets they have in the front that give it a great look! I love the ties because you can make a bow in the front of your apron or you can tie it in the back! It's easy to clean this apron as well! You can hand wash it or throw it in the washer! You can put it in a mesh bag for easier cleaning and so the ties don't get tangled with other clothes! I definitely think this apron looks cute in the pictures, but it's stunning seeing it in person! I definitely love the pattern!

I definitely recommend Flirty Aprons to you!!

The Back-up Plan

6:45 PM









I have always loved Jennifer Lopez movies! They have always been fun and most of them have been chick flicks that I love! Jennifer Lopez is coming out with another great movie this April called The Back-up Plan which is also starring Alex O’Loughin.



About The Back-up Plan:


"The Back-up Plan is a comedy that explores dating, love, marriage and family “in reverse.”

After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. That same day, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O’Loughlin) – a man with real possibilities.

Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan commits fully and says he’s in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed – Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. Or, where “date night” consists of being the “focal point” at a near-stranger’s water birth which does for kiddie pools what “Jaws” did for swimming in the ocean. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really don’t know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.


This movie will be in theaters on April 23!

Stress Reducer Tips! #6

5:24 PM




It's my 6th stress reducer post! I hope these tips can remind you of ways to be more stress free! Have a great week!





List of Stress Reducers:


1. When feeling stressed, most people tend to breathe in short, shallow breaths. When you breathe like this, stale air is not expelled, oxidation of the tissues is incomplete, and muscle tension frequently results. Check your breathing throughout the day, and before, during, and after high pressure situations. If you find your stomach muscles are knotted and your breathing is shallow, relax all your muscles and take several deep, slow breaths. Note how, when you're relaxed, both your abdomen and chest expand when you breathe.


 
2. Writing your thoughts and feelings down (in a journal, or on paper to be thrown away) can help you clarify things and can give you a renewed perspective.


 
3. Try the following yoga technique whenever you feel the need to relax. Inhale deeply through your nose to the count of eight. Then, with lips puckered, exhale very slowly through your mouth to the count of 16, or for as long as you can. Concentrate on the long sighing sound and feel the tension dissolve. Repeat 10 times.


 
4.  Talk it out. Disussing your problems with a trusted friend can help you clear your mind of confusion so you can concentrate on problem solving.


 
5. When the stress of having to get a job done gets in the way of getting the job done, diversion- a voluntary change- in activity and/or environment- may be just what you need.




Check out the other stress reducers from other weeks if you'd like below!






Thanks for reading!





Friend Makin' Monday!

10:59 AM




I've been joining in on Friend Makin' Monday for a couple weeks now and I have been enjoying it! Visit Amber at aefilkins if you'd like to join in on the fun!

This week, inquiring minds want to know: What did you do this weekend? Confess it.



Friday

I stopped at the Layer's Clothing sale and Paul and I visited Paul's mom's grave because it was her birthday!


Saturday

I went to my niece's birthday party in the afternoon. She turned 2 this month. We stayed there and played Candyland after the party! I hadn't played that game since I was little! That evening we had a Family Reunion/Birthday party for my grandpa who turned 82!


Sunday

I was able to take it easy on Sunday with no plans! That was great for me! I did some blogging and we watched some basketball on t.v. We even stopped at the park so Lucky could have some fun!




I hope you all had a great weekend!
