Three Different Directions

Cinnamon Roll Sticks

I like to change up what one normally does with ‘instant’ foods. Making things from scratch has never been my strong suit, but coming up with new ways to use pre-made products, that’s something I really enjoy doing.

Rather than just eat cinnamon buns made from the tube dough – how about some scrumptious Cinnamon Sticks?!

Do you like espresso? Then you’ll love this Café Mocha flavored cake that bakes up fast in your microwave and is portion controlled! It is inspired by a recipe from Hungry-Girl.com.

Colortime Product Review and Give Away

Summer vacation is right around the corner and Colortime products would make an awesome addition to the rainy days that you might encounter where staying inside starts getting you the, “Mom, I’m bored” whines. I’m sure any kid would love to color their own t-shirt, pillowcase or bag!

Brain Teasing Books ~ Give Away

Tammy — Mon, 21 May 2012 17:44:17 +0000

As summer vacation is here for some and is coming up quickly for others, we all know that the first couple of weeks are great for relaxing and unwinding, but as parents we hate to see the learning become stagnant until September rolls around again. That’s one of the reasons we decided to homeschool year round. Together parents and their high school children can avoid the “academic summer slide” by keeping their kids’ brains active by picking up some books on rainy days or during travel, that provide brain-challenging fun!

Easy Mini Apple Pockets

I spent most of my day “offline” today in the kitchen, whipping up a ton of tasty, easy recipes that I’ll be sharing with you over the next month. Some of the recipes will be for product reviews, while others were just ones that were inspired from some e-mails I got, plus I was looking to use up some of the food in our fridge before it went bad!

Interview with a Top Health Expert for Women

Tammy — Thu, 17 May 2012 15:01:07 +0000

As busy moms, we take on many roles. Perhaps the most important role is making sure our family is as healthy as they can be. Citrus fruits are a common part of most people’s diets. However, there’s lots of confusing data out there regarding whether or not you should eat certain foods, such as grapefruits, while taking certain drugs. Doctors are perhaps the most valuable source of information available when it comes to a topic like this. Today I have, on behalf of Sunkist an interview with Dr. Donnica Moore.

YoCrunch Yogurt ~ Give Away

YoCrunch wants to be your choice of a meal component or snack for any time of day, which is evident by all the flavors and types they offer the consumer.

My husband eats a cup of plain vanilla yogurt nearly every day. Having all these toppings to add to his yogurt was nearly overwhelming for him!

Nonni's Biscotti Bites ~ Worth Taking a Moment For

Tammy — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:36 +0000

It’s been over a week that I got home from Kentucky, and I think for the first time since then I’ve finally been able to take a moment to just slow things down and breathe.

I’m sure there are moms out there that have way more on their plate than I do, and Nonni’s believes you deserve a break too, and what better way to do that then with Nonni’s Biscotti Bites.

Orville Redenbacher’s Healthy Snacking Challenge ~ Give Away

Tammy — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:00:06 +0000

I have always loved popcorn, but it became a special kind of comfort food for me when I began my journey with Weight Watchers 10+ years ago. Why? Because popcorn was a healthier snack option, made from whole grains, low in calories and when choosing a low fat option, I didn’t have to sacrifice flavor.
