They were both delicious and helped while my family was getting anxious about our Thanksgiving meal being ready at a decent time. I loved how everything was individually packaged so the crackers were nice and crisp and the meats were very flavorful. I would pull the crackers out once opened and put them in a baggie ...

*I was given a gift card to purchase the products mentioned below in exchange for my honest review. Although I might have received free products, all opinions are all my own and not influenced because of the incentive. Blogging Mama for  Trybe  again and I have something cool to share with you today! I am a mom of 4, so you can imagine, I have tried out a lot of products with my children over the years. It has been 7 years now since I have had a little baby in the home and of course products change all the time. My almost 9 month son, Jonathan, is just now trying out sippy or trainer cups. There's a bit of some mixed emotions with that because he is growing up so fast it seems that he's not much of a baby anymore. He did not really like some of the traditional cups and has never really wanted to hold a bottle much less a cup. Here's where I got excited, because as soon as I handed the Munchkin Miracle 360 Trainer Cup  to him, he just figured it out right awa...

*We received a free package of  Hi-Chew to try and review from Trybe. You can get cool things to try and review for yourself, join here: https://trybe.com?ref=bloggingma Add a comment… My children love Hi-Chew  candy but I have never tried it before. Once we received our bag we just had to get into it. Watch our YouTube taste test video below for a more authentic review. A long lasting chew that did remind me of gum texture. They were very flavorful as well.  These were so delicious that we gobbled up the whole bag during our taste test! 😂 🍏🍓🍇🍏🍓🍇 I saw other varieties at our local stores and would be very interested in trying more in the future, especially the Fizzies. Here's a link to their products and where you can buy them. bloggingmama Add a c...

*I was given the products discussed below from Moms Meet in order to test and review. Although I may be compensated for my review all opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.* So, the word "probiotic" is completely new and different to me. I really don't go out of my way to research products with them in it and why it may or may not benefit me or my family. I have a lot to learn apparently.  I would like to help my children and I stay healthy so I decided we would try these out. Please do your own research to form your own opinion of these products. What are probiotics? Why do we need them? What do they do? Are they safe?  These are some questions that came to mind when I received the Probiotics Collection  that contained:  JARRO-DOPHILUS® WOMEN ,  FEM-DOPHILUS® SHELF STABLE ,  JARRO-DOPHILUS® INFANT DROPS , &  YUM-YUM DOPHILUS® . According to my very limited research, the reason you may take a probiotic product is to help ...

With the closing of the 2016-2017 Chick-fil-A Mom Panel coming to an end I wanted to show my appreciation to Chick-fil-A by participating in this mom survey that was posted in the Facebook group yesterday. I thought I would share my answers with my audience as well so you can get a bit of insider scoop of some activities we get to participate in during the year. I will be sharing a few more things here and there now that I have a little time again. Answering these questions for Chick-fil-A was an honor and if they choose some of my answers they may feature it in an article they will put up later on  https://thechickenwire.chick-fil-a.com/ . Q1. - What is your child’s favorite way to eat Chick-fil-A, and how do you get your child to make healthier choices there? Do you order or do something specific in order for your kids to eat healthy? For example, cut up the food in a certain way, or combine different foods to get your kids to eat it? Do you stack up the grilled nuggets to...

* I was given a gift card to purchase Sophie the Giraffe on Amazon as an influencer for Trybe. All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted and not influenced by the incentive.* Well, I've been with  Trybe  almost a year now and just a couple months being an influencer with them. In that time I have tested and reviewed  Philips Avent Pacifiers ,  Gerber Childrenswear Burp Cloths , Sophie, and 3 other products I will be posting reviews about in the upcoming weeks. I am enjoying testing the products with my family and sharing my opinions with everyone. I so appreciate everyone taking the time to read my reviews, it really does mean a lot to me. Thank you! I was so very excited when I got the original invitation to apply for testing on Sophie the Giraffe. Why you may ask? It's only because I have seen and heard so much about this popular infant teether and was hoping my little drooling 5 month old would get to test it out for himself. I stalked my email...

*This post was developed in partnership with Similac. All opinions are my own unless noted otherwise.* As a  SheSpeaks  blogger I sometimes get opportunities to test and review products and this time I was asked to purchase a new product from Similac called  Go & Grow  with a Walmart gift card.  I was unaware that Similac even made baby food so I was curious to find out more and let my little guy try it out. Off to the store we went... After arriving at our local Walmart, we headed straight to the Baby section where the baby food is hanging out. It was super easy to find! We picked out some yummy goodness for our little one to try but it wasn't until after we got home that I realized I had gotten 3 for baby 6+ months and 1 for toddler. I decided it really wouldn't be an issue since he would be trying small amounts of each in a little taste test and getting his reactions to each pouch. * Blue Bowl -  Go & Grow b...

So I recently joined an Influencer site called  Trybe  where you get to review products for free. Click the highlighted link to join Trybe with me! The cute designs of these burp cloths were hard to resist. When shopping online I noticed that all the styles offered were totally different from the ones in the original invitation to try them out. I went with the cute hippo and alligator prints. I noticed they also had the same styles in a more traditional burp cloth that covers the entire shoulder which is more ideal with a floppy baby during burp time. The material feels like a bath towel and is not soft which I would have thought it would feel like. Besides it being cute and smaller, (which makes it look a lot better than a giant white...

So I recently joined an Influencer site called  Trybe  where you get to review products for free. Click the highlighted link to join Trybe with me! My Influencer Video on Instagram I was selected to review Philips Avent Pacifiers  and was sent a gift card to purchase them online or at a local store. I purchased 2 sets. A Soothie Pacifier  set for 0-3 months and a Nighttime Pacifier set for 6-18 months. So...my son has been testing these new pacifiers out for about a month now and I still don't know what to think of them. He's not been one that just has to have a paci 24/7 and he keeps spitting them out. About the only time he will keep them in is when he's ready for bed. What I do like is that the one set i...

*I am part of the Chick-fil-A Mom Panel. From time to time I'm given promotional cards and other items for participating in various ways with the group. I love being a #ChickfilaMom!  Around Valentine's Day I was sent 2 cards for soup and 2 cards for breakfast items at Chick-fil-A. The enclosed letter challenged me to use the cards for the soup and keep the containers to upcycle into something new. Being that I just had a baby, it's been pretty difficult with 4 kids to get up to Chick-fil-A like we had been able to previously. I was just now able to get to the restaurant today and pick up my soups as well as my New Mommy Meal (more about that at a later time!) I already had several ideas in mind and I was given another card for soup in a separate envelope. My kids helped me come up with a seed starter or mini greenhouse for one container. This will have our milkweed sproutlets growing in it. I also thought a baby bank would be cute for another. The las...
