Review: Salsa Sensations

Image
One of my favorite foods is Mexican, and I love to go to restaurants that serve chips and salsa before your entre. I’m one of those people that can eat and eat salsa and chips and not get full and still want more.  I was recently asked to review Salsa Sensations. This salsa comes in 3 different flavors Mild (which is perfect for my kids), Medium (which I love), and Hot (perfect for the Fiancé).  This salsa reminds me so much of restaurant style salsa by its taste. It has so many flavors in every bite, and it’s not too chunky. It has just the right consistency for me. This makes the perfect salsa to add to your recipes to spice things up a bit, without taking away from the dish. One thing I do like to mix with salsa is Velveeta cheese! The best part about is that is really inexpensive and can be bought locally at Wal-Mart. This product has been Mother tested and Kid approved by my family. We will defiantly continue to use Salsa Sensations in the future.  This review was made possible b

:: CLOSED::Get Organized: Dotmine Day Planners Review/Giveaway

Image
The Winner Is Lakissha  Hunter Williams ! It seems as if there is not enough hours in the day to accomplish what I need done. So in order to keep myself on track I always try to write down some sort of a timeline. With the kids, school, and planning a wedding I seem to have my hands full and I’m always forgetting something. I’m so bad for writing notes and important dates on scrap pieces of paper and throwing them away on accident. I was excited to find out I was getting a Dotmine Daily Planner to review. This planner lets me organize my school life, family, and business (my blogging). This planner is a two year planner, so any plans I have in advance I feel comfortable enough to write them down and not lose them. I have a white board that is only a monthly board and I have to erase everything for the next month. With this Dotmine planner , I will be able to transfer everything that I have schedule and also have a record of it after erasing. Like the title says this is a Review

Real or Fake?

Image
I have been looking at alternatives to spruce up my home. I’ve looked at adding area rugs, to pictures to plants. I think I have come to the conclusion that Artificial flowers are the way to go.   Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of real plants, I’m just not the right person to take care of them. I have been looking through many sites for plants that look real and alive something to give the house a bit of an outdoors feel.   I have come across these Artificial plants , as we all know artificial plants don’t last forever, so while searching I’m looking for something that is beautiful with a good quality to them. With just a little up keep with dusting every now and then Artificial plants are really hassle free.   With no watering, fading, and a good quality I think I will go fake for now or until I can develop a green thumb.

Looking for a good Rug

Image
I have been looking for a rug for our living room. With hard floors and kids I am always concerned with their safety. I’m not a big fan of carpet, so when we had our house built I requested to have laminate floors put in. I’m thinking that putting down a rug in the living room will save on damage control when the kids are in there rough housing. I have been looking for a stylish rug, which will do the job of protecting the floor, but also give the room a stylish look. I have been looking at these  Bamboo Mat  and the  Jute rugs .   I need help deciding.  Both of these styles will give me a natural tone to the room. They are more modern then your typical area rug with designs on it. They keep the style simple to coordinate with almost any room décor.  Check out the two choices Jute rugs and Bamboo Mat, and let me know what you think.

Sponsored Post: High Adrenaline Gift Ideas

I’ m fast approaching my thirties, and I think back and say where has time gone. When I was younger there were so many things that I said I would do before my thirties that I haven’t been able to build up the courage to do. Hot air balloon rides  have been on that list from at one point and time. I once had the opportunity to ride in one, but I passed on. My fear of heights got the best of me. So I was thinking, since I’m 29 a good gift for myself would be to test my fears. My personal fee of heights could be touched in so many ways.  Gift ideas  could be that Hot air balloon ride, sky diving, or learning to fly. The closes thing I have done to conquer my fear is bungee jumping. I can tell you it was the adrenaline that got me through it. No other feeling beats that feeling of free falling. If you are looking for a wild and crazy  gift idea  for the adrenaline seeking friend I have a good website for you to check out  http://www.adrenalin.com.au/ , they cover everything from  hot air

Writing Poems and Stories

Writing Poems and Stories Posted by Heriberto Fuentes To get my kids ready for school, I like to get them mentally motivated for school. As a writer, I love to write stories and fiction. I also love to see my kids write fiction and stories. As a writer, however, I also know how easy it is for the mind to become lazy after only a few days of no work. That is why I make my kids do a bit of fun writing over the winter break. I really don't care what my kids write about, as long as I see their pens moving on a sheet of paper and writing words. I love to see my kids write poems or stories about whatever they wish. It is always fascinating to see the way my kids' minds work. I think any parent will get a kick out of reading a story w ritten by a child. When my kids complain they have no ideas, I simply give them a few prompts. I will ask them to make a story about a magical candy shop or other sort of mythical object, which usually does the trick. Sometimes we will leave the house to

Power Rangers: Samurai Preview/Review

Image
I have always been a fan of the Power Rangers, and it’s hard to believe that they are in their 19 th season. In my opinion any show that has been in circulation that long is a show of quality. I have been given the opportunity to review the season premiere of Power Rangers: Samurai  that debuts on Nickelodeon Monday, Feb. 7th at 8pm EST. The Power Rangers have been the world's most successful kids action series is in its 19th season and has moved from Disney to Nickelodeon and just got a shiny, martial-arts-influenced reboot. Combining comedy with action-filled storylines, the all-new half-hour series features a new cast of Rangers and never-before-seen villains, as well as high-octane action, martial arts and advanced special effects.  The  emPOWER movement  will launch along with the new series .  emPOWER  provides parents and kids the tools they need to work together to grow healthy kids and support healthy communities.  emPOWER inspires participation in schools, online and i

Flowerzinherhair.com Review and Giveaway

I have a little Diva, who loves to dress up and accessorize. I was giving a wonderful opportunity to review three headbands and a flower clip from Flowerz in Her Hair .  I’m so happy that I have been able to work with this wonderful Company. Amy is very professional and generous. The products that she has supplied to me are of the highest quality I have seen. The super stretch nylon head bands are perfect for my daughter. She loves to wear the elastic hair bands, but can only tolerate them for a little while. I get concerned with elastic headbands, because they leave an indention on her head. With the Super stretch head bands, we didn’t have that problem. These headbands stretch and flex around her head. She had no problems wearing them all day. Not only did I receive the headbands, I also received a cute Funky Flowers clip . These are interchangeable with the headbands, or you can wear them alone. They clip in with an alligator clip. “Each product is meant to be comfortable for your
