Wordful Wednesday

Last week my parents bought a swing set for there yard. And I was lucky enough to help put it together. Which was NOT fun! I was pretty sore after holding up that big top bar above my head while my brother put on the legs. But the smiles afterwards made it all worth it.

A Wonderful Mother’s Day

Heather — Mon, 14 May 2012 12:33:35 +0000

I hope all of you had a very wonderful Mother’s Day!

I really enjoyed mine. I slept in till 10:30. That was awesome, I am usually up at 7:30 every single day. So I woke up, made my coffee and got back in bed to start reading Fifty Shades Darker. I am really loving this trilogy and where I left off last night had me crying.

Then my great hubby made me breakfast in bed; eggs, bacon and biscuits. I really did feel spoiled. I vowed not to do a single thing on Mother’s Day and it felt great not doing anything.

So my day consisted of laying in bed reading or catching up on the shows I had on my DVR. Snuggling with the kids watching Ace Ventura. It was a great day!

My mom and my mother in law loved their Mother’s Day Presents.

Farm Rich Review and Giveaway

Heather — Sat, 12 May 2012 22:21:14 +0000

I was recently asked to do a review and giveaway on some Farm Rich products. I was excited about this review because I am always looking for something quick and easy to make the kids for lunch. With my picky eaters, I was sure Farm Rich products would be a big hit! And I was right, they LOVED it!

I got the Farm Rich Pizza Slices and the Farm Rich Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks. I love fast and easy lunches, about 15 minutes in the oven and the kids had a lunch they both enjoyed!

The Marinara Stuffed Mozzarella Sticks are great because the sauce is right inside of the mozzarella stick, no worrying about the marinary being spilled everywhere. The Pizza Slices was AMAZING!! I know I will be buying those a lot!

Farm Rich has a lot of choices to choose from. They also have French Toast sticks for quick and easy breakfast. You can check out all the products they have here.

Now for the giveaway! If you would like to win 2 coupons for FREE Farm Rich Products all you have to do is a few things on the Rafflecopter below!
