P.Lushes Pets Jet Setters Party!

Image
 We received this beautiful party pack from Tryazon and SpinMaster of P.Lushes Pets and wow were we impressed at how adorable and beautiful these little plush toys are! They have beautiful patterns, colors, embellishments, and are SO SOFT AND FLUFFY! The girls had an absolute blast playing with these plush toys. Because the party packs arrived late, we ended up taking these Jet Setters on a road trip with us up to North Georgia to spend Thanksgiving week with family! There were less little girls than planned, but we warned them that they would need to part ways with a few of them once we got back - because sharing is caring!  The girls had a tough time choosing their favorites because they were all so incredibly beautiful! Thankfully, there are different enough patterns that there were several that matched each little ones' personality, so there wasn't *too much* fighting over specific toys.  Check out this short clip to see the unboxing, some play time, and make sure to spot t

Gabbys Dollhouse Cooking with Cakey Kitchen

 Here’s a new Tryabox of the Cooking with Cakey Kitchen play set! My nieces absolutely loved this product. It was easy to set up and had lots of cute details like stickers, showing the Gabbys dollhouse scenes. They loved the colors because it was nice and bright. They also loved that there was sound effects. Great quality, it’s big, but doesn’t look bulky and it’s easy to move around.

Hand-to-Hand WOMBAT!

Image
 We just tried out one of the most unique and hilarious games & guess what? I've got a promo code for it! Thanks to Treason, we hosted a Hand-to-Hand Wombat game night, and got to test out this super creative game where you work together with your friends and use team work, cooperation, communication to build strong relationships and build harmoniously.....until a bad wombat messes it all up!!!! This game is sneakily fun and can be played with kids 7 and up, but is fun for all ages, seriously fun! With a minimum of 3 players, you can have a night full of laughs.  I love that this game also has so many adaptations and versions, so it can constantly feel like a fresh game (without having to dish it out for expansion packs). Within the game you have additional roles and tweaks for advanced game play and there are even some fresh ideas for new rules to change it up on the Exploding Kittens website:  https://www.explodingkittens.com/products/hand-to-hand-wombat  !

Got Iron?

Image
 This small but mighty little fish, the @luckyironfish could be one of the simplest solutions to a widespread issue: Iron Deficiency! 🐟 . I just received this party pack from @tryazon with my own Lucky Iron Fish and I can’t wait to see it at work, adding Iron to my daily recipes. The Lucky Iron Fish is designed to release 6-8mg of iron off its surface when it’s boiled in liquid that has been slightly acidified. So just by plopping this tiny iron fish into boiling liquids—Soups, Pasta Sauce, Tea, etc.— you can add up to 75% of your daily required iron intake! 🀯 . And if used correctly, it doesn’t even change the flavors of your recipe! . I love that this party pack was not just going to be a fun party but that it also impacts my daily life and health! πŸŽ‰ . . I made a yummy Squash soup from scratch last weekend & added Iron by using my @luckyironfish !! 🍁 . . It was a perfect fall party and it was so incredibly easy! I simply boiled the Lucky Iron Fish in the chicken broth before

Pumpkin Spice Alfajores

Image
I love Argentinian Alfajores! These shortbread cookies melt in your mouth and are as beautiful as they are delicious! I also really love fall and all things pumpkin spice. So I thought, why not combine the two? SO I introduce you to Pumpkin Spiced Alfajores . This recipe is adapted from a recipe from En Casa Contigo , it is simple but does take some time and preparation. The ingredients are not all daily household baking ingredients and you will likely need to make a trip to the store for these! The key to making the cookies crumbly and soft is the Wheat Flour & Cornstarch. I tried this recipe with regular flour and "Whole wheat" flour at first, but then I finally found the right flour and it made the world of a difference.  Prep Time: 35 minutes Chilling Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 8-10 minutes Ingredients: • 1 cup - Wheat flour • 1 cup - Corn Starch • 1 teaspoon - Baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon - Baking soda • 1/2 cup - Unsalted butter at room temperature • 1/2 cup + 1

Sweet Chaos Fall Party!

These Fall flavored popcorn snacks were the perfect compliment to a Fall birthday party 🍿πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ . . This past weekend we celebrated my cousin (basically sisterπŸ’ž) with a lot of laughter & a lot of GOOD food!! We played dominoes, caught up on life, and talked about the upcoming holiday season ! πŸ¦ƒπŸ˜¬ . . We also got to enjoy these super yummy fall flavored popcorns by Sweet Chaos!! They were delicious, crunchy, and tasted really fresh! My favorites were Vanilla Chai & *no surprise* Pumpkin Spice!! 🍁 . .  If you’re anything like my family you’re probably reading the labels and thinking WOW, that’s a lot of sweetness 😳 honestly, I was not sure what to expect before trying these. With flavors like Candy Corn & Maple Brown Sugar, I thought these could easily be overwhelmingly sweet. But they were not!! I mean they are Sweeeet, but it’s definitely not overly sugary and you can eat a good handful without getting sick of it. πŸ˜‹  . . These were a definite hit for me and my family an
