New Jammies Review and Giveaway



I love kids PJ's. They are so cute.

I have noticed that some PJ's are very flimsy. They rip easily, are very thin or fade after just one wash.

So I am always on the look out for quality kids PJ's that are also very stylish.
Not to long ago I came across NewJammies.com. They have some of the cutest PJ's I have seen. Not only that but they are 100% organic cotton. No chemicals on you kids skin what so ever.

I love love love the fruit and veggie Jammies they carry but when I saw the Wild Stallion Pj's I had to have them for Shane.



He loves these PJ's and I do too. Its nice to know he is wearing quality and that it is organic so his skin is not being exposed to any chemicals.

WIN IT

New Jammies has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a pair of PJ's their choice of either Bikes, Ballerinas, Wild Stallions boys or Girls and in the size of your choice. $35 value

The so called "BIG SNOW STORM"

We were supposed to get 14 inches of snow Yesterday. I think we ended up with like 4 or 5. Anyways I let Shane take advantage of it since I don't plan to be living here next winter. I documented with my Camera.

He really had a blast. I guess if wants snow we can always visit or take him up in the mountains.

North Carolina BBQ Company review and giveaway

North Carolina BBQ Company offers what many consider the two distinct varieties of North Carolina BBQ; the Eastern and Piedmont styles.

"Eastern style pork BBQ is a “modified whole hog”. While there technically is no such term, we feel like it best represents our product. We utilize the shoulders and the hams, which produce a nice yield between the fattier shoulder and the leaner ham. True eastern BBQ usually cooks whole, halved, or quartered pigs.

Piedmont style pork shoulder is slow cooked and smoked with Hickory wood, the same way our Eastern style is cooked. It is also chopped to the same consistency. However, our Piedmont style is just shoulder meat, therefore is more naturally moist due to the higher fat content. For that reason, and to preserve the Lexington way of serving BBQ, we have not added any sauce to the product. You are free to add as much or as little as needed to suit your taste."



I was sent the Small BBQ Battle Box which included both the Eastern and Piedmont BBQ as well as the Eastern and Piedmont styles coleslaw and sauces.
(Feeds 6-8 People)
*1 lb Piedmont pulled pork BBQ
*1 lb Eastern pulled pork BBQ
*1 pint Piedmont BBQ slaw
*1 pint Eastern Cole Slaw
*1 (5 oz) bottle of Piedmont BBQ dip
*1 (5 oz) bottle of Eastern BBQ sauce
Only $54.95


My take. We really enjoyed the Piedmont meat the best. It had a good taste and was very tender. The eastern was also very tender but we all agreed that it had a bit to much of a vinegar taste to it but I am sure some people would love it as it is a matter of personal taste. On the flip side we preferred the Eastern coleslaw. The Piedmont was good but different that what we are used to.

carolina bbq is good and something definitively worth trying. It would be great for an upcoming superbowl party.
