Back to school with Udi’s gluten free food

"I received product samples to review. All opinions are my own." 


Most everyone now a days is trying to eat healthier. We are even trying to make sure our children eat healthier. Sometimes it is a challenge to make lunches for our children to take to school or even get them to eat healthier. Avoiding things like Gluten in foods can help us eat healthier.


Udi's makes back to school lunch choices easier by making great gluten free lunch and snack options. Not only do they offer a variety of breads and snacks they taste awesome as well.


Here are just some of the Udi breads and snacks they offer.

 We are huge fans of Udi's here in our house.  Even my picky husband loves Udi's products. We absolutely love Udi's Cinnamon raisin bread, ancient grain Crisps and granola clusters.  My son loves the tortillas. We make sandwich wraps out of them for his lunches.  Their cookies, muffins and granola make excellent snacks for snack time or his lunches. I highly recommend Udi's products.

You can order Udi's products online or plug in your zip code to see where the closest store is to you that sells Udi's Products is HERE.


 

FRAAS Fall 2013 chic scarfs

"I was sent a scarf to review. All opinions are my own"


 Once again FRAAS has created a beautiful new fall collection of scarves.
  The new Fall/Winter range for 2013/2014 from FRAAS – The Scarf Company features photorealistic digital prints, unconventional colour combinations and high quality materials. For the first time there are product highlights in the range made of a modal camelhair blend that is complemented by fine materials like washed wool, cotton or silk. Furthermore double-face effects have been playfully incorporated to give scarves and shawls a completely new look.

  Nouveau Generation - This theme is characterized by opulent graphic patterns. Colour blocking, zigzag, XXL houndstooth and geometrics are featured in this intensely colourful theme. Multi-facetted kaleidoscope and radiant designs that are reminiscent of psychedelic patterns artfully play with the forms and colour frenzy of the theme. The new material combinations of modal and camelhair come into use in ways that really make the digital prints uniquely come to life. The colour ways of this theme are dominated by various shades of blue with accents in orange, yellow and neon.

  Country Etiquette - In this theme prints and floral patterns from folklore in dark red and warm autumn shades of burnt orange on heavy silk or boiled wool play an outstanding role. Scarves and shawls decorated especially with roses in combinations with classic checks and knits are characteristic for the rustic feeling of the "Country Etiquette" look. Warm shades of brown like chocolate, pepper or chestnut further emphasize and express the link with nature of the various designs focusing on flora and fauna which are evident in the leaf and floral forms. Palace 


Grandeur - The Palace of Versailles is the main inspiration for this line. Opulent and decadent designs with baroque ornaments and magnificent pageants grace these shawls and scarves. A special highlight is the printed diamond and ornate jewellery elements in photorealism, as well as prints of architectural elements from the palace of Louis XIV. The colourways are made up of exuberant aubergine and purple which make a particularly strong impression in combination with shades of gold and bronze. Along with these noble colours metallic glitter effects have a special place and once again bring to mind the legendary Sun King.


 The FRAAS brand stands for a company with more than 125 years of history: V. Fraas with its subsidiary Jammers & Leufgen. This family business has always combined tradition with innovation – with great success. Today, V. Fraas is the market leader in the manufacture of textile accessories, which are appreciated for their premium quality by the most exclusive brands worldwide.

“Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” DVD and The Chuggington StackTrack Rescue at Rocky Ride Playset

I was sent the dvd and Stacktrack rescue and ride playset for review. All opinions are my own" 

All aboard. Do you have a Chuggington fan in your house?



Chuggington just released there Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” DVD and The Chuggington StackTrack Rescue at Rocky Ride Playset.  2 perfect items to get and give for the holidays this year. Introducing the “Chug Patrol: Ready to Rescue” DVD, available Aug. 20, 2013. This newest title in the preschool-favorite Chuggington DVD collection will have never-before-seen footage of six action-packed episodes that will can be seen on Disney Junior and The Disney Channel. The DVD will also give Chuggington fans the opportunity to meet new characters, such as Chug Patrol Chief Jackman and super-speedy Hanzo!

 Inspired by the Chuggington DVD characters and fast-paced adventures, the StackTrack Rescue at Rocky Ride Playset is a must-have addition to your child’s imagination. The five-level playset features the same innovative track used to build the world’s largest tallest toy train track (which won a Guinness World Record in 2013) and includes a mine tunnel, boulder trap and High Performance Wilson and Koko engine.

 The Chuggington StackTrack Rescue at Rocky Ride Playset


 Based on the "Chug Patrol and the Rescue at Rocky Ridge" Chuggington episode, this playset allows young engineers to recreate the exciting adventure. After receiving her new rocket boosters and speeding a little too quickly through Rocky Ridge Mine, Koko gets trapped in a crevice under a pile of rubble. Chug Patrol Wilson must come to the rescue, using his new Chug Patrol skills. He bursts through the entry barriers, barrels through the mine shaft, crashes through the archways, and must avoid the tumbling boulder on his way to save the day.

 This is a fun set that has lots of curves and drops. Plus the bolder adds extra excitement to the track. The only one issue we had is sometimes the trains do get stuck but overall its not a bad set.

Toystate toys review

"I was sent some toys from toystate. All opinions are my own" 

Toystate.com offers some really great toys.  Great for Birthdays or Christmas you'll want to check out the great toys that toystate has to offer.  I love the fact their toys are so interactive and that they have toys for all different ages ranges.



We were very excited to check out the James bond 077 secret agent vehicle complete with lights, music and sound.  Its even motorized and 9" in size. It's so realistic it makes for such a fun entertaining toy for my 5 year old.  Love the James bond theme song it plays.



We also had the opportunity to check out 2 of the road rippers for ages 3+.  All the Road Rippers have lights , sounds and actions. The trunks lift for fun lights and sounds.  They are designed with cool colors and decals to make each car style different and unique. 

"Ripp has created a fleet of ultra-cool custom-designed vehicles just for you! Multiple play functions, lights & sound fun, and all the best licensed and custom body styles will keep playtime rollin’ all day long! " 


So many really awesome vehicles to choose from!
