I recently had the opportunity to work with Walls of the Wild and review their Unicorn Visitor wall decal. They have very good quality products and I was so pleased to have had this opportunity! Walls of the Wild truly cares about their customers and it definitely show in their work!

Walls of the Wild started in the early 90's by artist DeDe Lifgren. 

She started the business with these three rules and continues to follow them to this day:

1) Every hand-painted piece must look highly realistic and capture the heart and soul of each animal.

2) The quality of every decal must look as if Dede came to your home and painted it herself.

3) Walls of the Wild decals should be affordable so every child can appreciate art that isn't a cartoon.

Walls of the Wild has generously agreed to give one lucky reader a $100 gift code to spend on their site! 



I reviewed the Unicorn Visitor Decal. You can read my full review here.

The Pasta Shoppe Review

Thank you to the The Pasta Shoppe for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review

I received a generous sized box to base my review. My two absolute favorites were the Chili and The Chicken Noodle Soup pasta bags. I love any kind of soup, especially chili and chicken noodle. They are the 2 perfect soups for these cool Tennessee nights and it's something my entire family loves as well. 

In the chicken noodle mix, the noodles are shaped as chickens! Very cute! It came with the seasonings I needed as well so all I had to add was the chicken, my favorite veggies and water making my job a lot easier!! Very important since I am usually always pressed for time. 

The Chili is one of their true classics. They have been selling it for over 10 years. Simply add your meat, favorite beans and anything else you like and voila! you've got a delicious pot of chili in less than 30 minutes. 

The Pasta Shoppe also carries Holiday Themes that I cannot wait to try out and possibly purchase for my kids teachers around the Holidays this year vs my usual cookies in a jar recipes I give them. The Wintertime Chili Gift Set would be perfect for the hard to buy for person or for that person that just has everything.

The kids really liked the sports themed pasta. They have everything from Cheerleading to your favorite sports team. 

Looking to add a gourmet touch to your favorite dish? Be sure to check out their Spinach Basil Garlic Angel Hair Pasta Nests!

The Paste Shoppe also does Fundraising! 

I really like the online fund raising. Too many times my kids have brought home fundraising books and my family from out of state cannot place an order because they do not offer online sales. For brochure master orders over $4,000, your group will keep 50% profit! Definitely something to look into if your group is into fundraising. 

Overall, I am 110% satisfied with my pasta box! This has been one of my favorite review opps when it comes to food. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for fast, easy, delicious and inexpensive all in one.

Mosquito Genie Review

Thank You to Mosquito Genie for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

If there is one thing I cannot stand it's a mosquito or a biting black gnat. With a creek running through my front yard though, it's kind of hard to avoid. I have tried numerous products to rid these pesky critters but nothing seems to work. I was quiet pleased when I had the opportunity to review the Mosquito Genie. 

The mosquito genie is an outdoor lamp that kills mosquito's with a garlic based all natural solution. This is a stylish little lamp that you can sit wherever you are to repel mosquito's. I really enjoy sitting on my porch in the evenings. Before the Mosquito Genie, I was unable to do this peacefully. I was constantly swatting at gnats and mosquito's and usually had to come in with what seemed like hundreds of large whelps all over my arms and legs. 

Did You Know:

Female mosquitos are the only ones that bite.  (Male mosquitos are vegetarians, are not attracted to light and do not search for blood.)  As long as she gets blood, one female mosquito can lay 300-400 eggs 10 times a month during her four-week life cycle. Eliminating one female mosquito canprevent thousands from biting you next month. 

 I had no idea! 

Since the Mosquito Genie arrived, we can now sit peacefully on our front porch and enjoy these cool fall nights without having to worry about a ton of nasty mosquitoes. I am quiet pleased with it's effects and will definitely be purchasing more for next years "mosquito season".  The genie is cordless so you don't have to worry about tacky cords strung across your porch in turn preventing a tripping or fire hazard. Super Important!

Overall, I am a satisfied customer and recommend the Mosquito Genie to anyone looking for some relief from mosquitoes!

Mason Jar Cookie Company Review

Thank you to The Mason jar Cookie Company for sending me their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

At The Mason Jar Cookie Company, you have over 189,000 possibilities! I chose two different mixes to base my review. My first mix was what I called Pure Deliciousness. (I got to name it myself!) It was a peanut butter cup, macadamia nut cookie. You start by choosing your base blend. There are several to choose from including a traditional base, chocolate base and a peanut butter base. Then the fun begins. You get to choose your "sweets, treats, and crunchies". There are so many to choose from! Candy Corn, peanut butter chips, robin eggs and more. You can choose up to 3 add ins from their 70 different choices. Once complete, you name your own creation and they create the personalized jar!

 

Once they arrive, they have the cooking instructions attached to the jar on a cute little label. Add a few wet ingredients and voila! you have the perfect late night snack! The cookies are very delicious. The first batch we made didn't make it an entire 12 hours. They were devoured! They got a big thumbs up from everyone in the house. 

These make perfect gifts for the Holidays. Whether you are looking for something for your neighbor or your children's teacher, The Mason Jar Cookie Company has you covered! Check out their party favors page! I highly recommend them not only for their delicious cookie but for their spectacular customer service.

Welcome to the Tennessee State Fair! Review

We recently had the wonderful opportunity to work with the Tennessee State Fair and attend their event. In exchange for my honest review, we received admission tickets and ride wristbands.

The very first ride they saw was of course the Alien Abduction. For those of you that don't know, this thing just spins around and around. My boys absolutely LOVE it! Me, no thanks!

  

Next they were off to the slides. They walked those LONG stairs MANY times just to zoom back down it! The one to the top left wasn't going as fast as he'd have liked. Notice the arms in the air?

Then off to the coaster. This thing looked really interesting! It basically just went into a fast circle and then you head very loud sirens, just when you thought it was stopping, it decided to take you back around it..... backwards!

Ummmm. No Thanks.

This ride here... CRAZY! 

Unfortunately my one son didn't see it in action before he got on it. Needless to say he wasn't smiling for long! The other one that rode it LOVED it!

It took them for a series of spins up, around what seemed like upside down and more. I was dizzy just watching them!

No fair is complete without the animals! Loved the little bunnies! It was a pretty warm day so I didn't like the fact that they were in those cages with only a big fan blowing in. Some of those rabbits were very large and very furry and they were obviously miserable. I know many of them are like that at "home" as well but I don't have to see it. Probably wouldn't have been so bad if they were allowed loose in a play "area" that they couldn't escape from. 

Another one of my favorite "attractions" was the booth dedicated to my local county fair. The home of Minnie Pearl, Centerville, TN. Down here, we're country ya'll. Our fair holds canning competitions and it just doesn't get anymore delicious than that! The next few pics are of the exhibit from my local fair at the State Fair.

Last but not least, the bumper cars. The rode these at least 15 times back to back!

Overall, we had a great time! My boys rode most of the rides and it wasn't overly crowded when we went. I look forward to going again next year with my family.

Growing up Monopoly was almost my favorite board game! Of course back then we didn't have Facebook and Twitter so most of our free time was spent on board games! Now I encourage my kids to spend times playing board games vs just video games and television. It's a great thing for family night!
