Archives for September 2015

Looking for convenient, fresh meals that are delivered to your own home? I recently had the opportunity to try out Freshly meals and was very impressed! I was amazed at how tasty and fresh all the meals were. Their team of chefs carefully curates locally sourced and all natural ingredients. I tried a variety of breakfast. lunch and dinner entrees and loved them all! My favorite was a delicious lemon Garlic Salmon dinner entree and a Turkey Chili lunch entree. Yum! I’m still very surprised at how fresh these meals were! I love these gourmet meals.

The meals are complete and so easy to warm up! You just simply stick them in the microwave. They really are quite healthy too! The meals are high in protein, low in carbs, and free of gluten. I love that there are no artificial sweeteners or hormones. They are even optimally portioned!

Bring out the chef in you with Outer Spice, four highly versatile low salt and no salt seasoning solutions modernizing the spice industry. Each batch of Outer Spice is made from a unique blend of the finest quality ingredients, and serves as a good source of nutrition, packed with essential minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants. Each seasoning solution is made from hand-selected whole spices, which are freshly ground and made in small, artisanal batches for maximum potency, vitality and flavor. Outer Spice is gluten-free, MSG-free and made with all natural, non-GMO ingredients.

I received samples and I love that this is a healthier option and my favorite is the no salt. It is great to use when cooking with veggies and chicken too. I love the fresh taste of the seasonings and it is perfect for me since I have high blood pressure and need to keep an eye on my salt intake. The Outer Spice Spicy-No Salt is my favorite of the four! It really adds some kick to dishes. There are four unique seasoning products available: Outer Spice Original-Low Salt, Outer Spice Spicy-Low Salt, Outer Spice Original-No Salt and the Outer Spice Spicy-No Salt, as I mentioned.  Each one retails for $6.99.

I have been using this with my Kindle and I love that I can now read in the bath without worrying about dropping my Kindle. I actually placed it in water and it really does keep the water out. I also tried it with my son’s mini iPad and it worked great too! I love that it includes speakers and I am very impressed with this product. It really does work better than many other water-resistant products that I have tried in the past.

This t-shirt would make a great gift for a Marine in your life. I have a brother who is in the Marines and I am looking forward to giving him this shirt as a gift. He is currently out of the country so I had my husband also check this out for me. He says it seems true to size and he likes the quality of the fabric. It really is a nice quality shirt and the ink/graphics do not look like they will easily fade. It looks like a soft and comfy shirt too.

Did you know that according to the CDC motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the United States?

From pregnancy, birth, back-to-school, and beyond, September is an especially busy time of year for parents. And when your mind is spinning from the amount of after-school activities and carpooling that needs to be done, taking some extra time to make sure your newborn or toddler is safe while on the road may be a necessity.

What better time to ensure our kids are safe than during September’s Baby Safety Month. With the above infographic from Diono, you help can ensure your child’s safety is your top priority.

I also received a Car Seat from our friends at Diono! The Diono Monterey Expandable Booster and I highly recommend it! It is polyester and fits children 40-120 pounds. What I like about this one is that it is designed for the growing child. It expands in both height and width.

Additional Info:

• LATCH system for secure installation (LATCH use not required)
• Angled, reinforced seat bottom prevents submarining
• Longer seat bottom for proper leg support with cushioned comfort
• 2 recline positions for comfort and to fit all vehicle seat shapes
• Retractable cup holders are extra deep to keep drinks upright
• Packs flat for travel and storage
• 1 year warranty

I love this item! Although I know it says the size in the description..it is bigger than I expected it to be. It’s almost as tall as I am! It really livens up our porch and I like that it seems durable and seems like it will not fall apart. I also like that it includes the hanging clip. It is easy to hang and I love to see it swaying in the breeze even though my puppy likes to bark at it. I highly recommend!
