Mrs. Renfro's Gourmet Foods

At the beginning of the week we received a package from Mrs. Renfro's Gourmet Foods. I knew I needed to get a few things before we began reviewing the goodies inside so I put the box on the table and simply walked until I could make a trip to the grocery store. No big deal right? Well hubby got home and the big deal became a huge deal as his excitement is still making me laugh. Apparently I had no idea what I had in this cute little box. NO!!! I had to make him stop from tearing into it as he stated “But that's my absolute favorite salsa!!” Sorry honey, I had never even heard of them. He went on to tell me exactly where I needed to go in our local grocery store to get more. “PUT THAT BOX DOWN!” I made him wait, and ever so patiently he waited as I took a picture of the packaging because I for one was impressed at how well it was packaged to handle the transit of UPS. After a disaster with Amazon I always worry about how food will arrive when being shipped but Mrs. Renfro's has it figured out!

So having still not made it to the grocery store, I let him open the Green Salsa as that one is just a little too hot for me. (I'm a wimp!) First thing he noticed was “The packaging has changed”. Then to my surprise we noticed that Mrs. Renfro's has donated over $100,000 to the fight against Breast Cancer and they remain active in community service as well as charitable organizations. That's kinda neat and makes them a top company on my list. It really warms my heart when companies give back!

Now he really REALLY likes the hot stuff and that goober has put it on eggs and pizza this week.... Yup he's my goober! But look at all that flavor!

Now that I finally got the chance to open a jar of my own, I choose the Craft Beer Salsa which is rated “Medium Hot”. It's pretty stinking good! SOOOO Full of flavor!  Now I understand why he got all worked up when he seen the Mrs. Renfro's box. Made with Texas Red Amber Ale Craft Beer I'll have to do my best not to eat it all before sharing with the kiddo's. I really wish I had a cute little salsa dish to go with this though.... Hummmm off to the store I shall go!

When I was first approached by Mrs. Renfro's I thought I would review this as the perfect appetizer or after school snack as it seems my kiddo's are always starving before dinner but I don't think it's gonna last that long in this house. I guess I better get some more while I'm at the store looking for those salsa dishes.

We also received some Classic Barbecue Sauce and Chipotle Barbecue Sauce from Mrs. Renfro's but that my dear is going to have to wait until after the weekend when we can do some grilling! I can't wait! So be sure to look forward to that post in a couple days!!

Gratitude Gift Bags

I recently ran to the store to get a roll of wrapping paper for a single present and noticed the sky rocketing price… What in the world is going on that a roll of wrapping paper cost just as much as the gift I am wrapping? So here I am on the search for more reusable items to save us both some cash in the long run.

One of the items I have found is Gratitude Gift Bags which are an eco-friendly fabric gift bag that you can use over and over again saving money and time because they are so easy to use and take seconds to tie up. 

One thing that surprised me is the quality and effort that goes into making these bags, assuring they will last for a long time. I was also delighted to find several different designs and learn that you can actually provide your own material to them and they will custom make your bag for you.

Between the different sizes and the different designs, these are a great buy for any occasion! 
· Gratitude Gift Bags were recently featured at the 39th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards!

We're Back!

Well I guess it's been awhile... And by awhile I mean well over a year since I have had a chance to sit down at the computer and write again. Oh how I have missed blogging!

So much has changed in the last two years I don't even know where to begin so we will just pick up with today and go forward. I have lots of new crafts to share with you and have finally got into coupon shopping again. My DARE kids are going to LOVE all the chocolate I got this week! Yup, I have moved back to working part time and teach DARE at a local elementary school! It seems that no matter how hard life gets, or how many brick walls and test I have to surpass those kiddos make even the roughest days great!

The boys (JJ & Mr. Maison) have been begging to do some product reviews. I suppose their old enough now to let you read their opinions on whatever they think they need to be testing. Goodness gracious we all know how rough they are on things so if it passes their test I'm sure it'll be great for your home as well.

And last but not least..... We have some big news coming up!!!! All in time I promise but it's exciting and I can't wait to share with you our latest!  

Boiled Wool Headband by Dorfman Pacific

In my small Missouri town it really feels like winter is knocking at our door. Festivals are almost every weekend and while we were at one yesterday it was a rainy, breezy, whopping 45 degrees out!  Needless to say we didn't stay long but I sure wish I would have had this Dorfman Pacific Headband with me!  

Available at Hartford York, the fall and winter Scala Collezion collection is boiled wool hats and headbands.  I choose a headband because they are just simply more my style and I was right, I love it! Although they are wool, these headbands are still soft, stretchy, and very well made.  Plus the cute rosette embellishment really adds some style and flair.  

You have to check out the other amazing products by Dorfman Pacific because they are one of the largest full-line, in-stock headwear companies in the world.

Love With Food

I love food and I know most of you love food but I have found a subscription box called “Love with Food” and I have to tell you it is going to be on my top list of favorite subscription boxes. 

First off, look how full it is! Plus all 8 products were absolutely amazing!  My favorite of course is the Dark Chocolate Orange Good fortune Cookie from Emily’s Chocolates.  The chocolate was rich and the cookie didn’t fall apart when I began eating it.  This was a top of the line product for sure!

Another favorite that I enjoyed was the Wild Berry Flat Fruit from Wacky Apple.  It’s basically a fruit roll up type snack but the thickness and flavor was delightfully surprising.  At 45 calories, I wish there were more.  *tear

 As if those two items didn’t cure my sweet tooth, then there is Cosmo’s Creations Salted Caramel.  One word; delicious!! Gluten Free, no Tran’s fat, no kernels and no hulls.  This was perfect because it didn’t stick to my teeth either!

One of my favorite things about Love with Food is for every box of gourmet treats they send out they will then donate a meal to a child in need.  Talk about giving back.

 This is a great company with a great concept and a delicious treat all for only $10 a month.  Be sure to check them out!
