Nutella Mommy Party

A while back I signed up on a site called “mommy parties” trying to find new ways to earn money or just get free stuff, because this mommy LOVES her some FREE stuff!!!
Well I received an email saying I was selected to host a Nutella Mommy Party! YAAAAAY! I was STOKED (yep revered to 80′s slang I am so excited). So a few days later my box arrives filled with goodies to give away to my guests and a large Nutella jar to use in making items for my breakfast bar at my party.

Gift bags for my guests.

Let me start talking about my party through pictures. unfortunately the pictures are not how I want them, since I was busy in the kitchen making crepes and putting together yummy goodies for everyone, so Miss B took pics for me. But we shall make do :-)
But to sum today all up….EVERYONE loved Nutella. :-D

Some of our goodies.

There were vanilla wafers, graham crackers, strawberries, bananas, apples, crepes, waffles, and croissants filled with nutella.

mmmmmmmm

 

My sweet niece came to see what I was cooking.

Of course with a little bit of Nutella on her mouth, hahahahaha.

This is what I was making.....yummy!!

Mommy Misty and Mommy Jennifer trying to enjoy their snacks with crazy kids running around. lol

Mommy Jennifer, Mommy Michelle with baby Brayden, and I all enjoying the get together.

Someone had a super yummy awesome plate!

Misty and Rachel were good girls and ate all their food! Gold stars for them!

MORE PLEASE!!!!

This was so much fun! Thank you again Nutella and Mommyparties!


As seen on TV

Hubby and I are big on the “As seen on TV” items. Why you ask….well, I’m not sure. We are suckers supporters of the up and coming inventors. ;-)

There have actually been a few items that are totally awesome, and of course there have been some flops. The flops always make us say “why in the heck did we get this stupid thing”.

One of those flops was the One Touch Can Opener

We had such high hopes for this thing, and were really excited when we bought it. It is so lame! I swear you have to have a car battery directly connected to it for it to work. We would put it on the can and it would move a smidgen then die! So we thought “maybe the battery’s were bad?”, so we put new ones in. And NOPE wouldn’t work. So frustrating!

Another stupid one (yes, I am guilty for buying it for hubby) was the Fushigi

It looked sooooooooooooooo cool on T.V. My 4 year old would run around the house yelling “Fushigi”, she even wanted one. Well I bought it for one of hubbys christmas presents. And it really is just an eye illusion. It has a metal looking ball inside a clear ball, and you are to learn these moves to make it look like its “defying gravity” oooooooooo. LAME!

Now enough with the negative. Lets talk about some super awesome items! YAAAAY.

First up is my personal favorite…
The Shark <3

This thing makes cleaning my house so easy! I have wood, tile, and marble floors. Could you imagine the amount of cleaning products I would have to buy for each floor? Okay 3. But you get my point. Anyways, this thing uses hot steam to clean your floors. So you have no chemicals to deal with, just water from your sink. Awwwwwwwwwwesome!!!!

Another Fave….
The EZ Cracker

This was one of our most recent ASOTV (you like that don’t you) purchases. My wonderful husband almost ripped his thumb off in a work accident and had to wear a cast for 3 weeks. We figured this would be great for him. Plus I am an awesome kick ass okay cook that at times find myself digging through my bowl for tiny shells. I am so horrible at cracking an egg! This wonderful invention takes all the shell worry right out of cooking! Its quick and easy. And awwwwwwwwwesome!!!

Okay I am getting bored with my blog, so I am guessing you are too. I will end here. But there really are some great products out there. Okay okay, I will make a quick list of the ones I like:
Pillow Pet
Topsy Turvey
Money Maze
Fridge Locker

If you have tried anything I would love to hear about it.

(I in no way was asked, paid or even provided a sample of any of these products by anyone selling these products, this is my honest opinion of the ones we have personally purchased.)


B2B (opportunities for us bloggers)

I was refered to this B2B site by my fellow bloggers (and BFF) Jennifer (or as I call her Fur).

I wanted to check it out and see for myself what it was all about, and it looks pretty awesome.

  • Its free
  • They are up front about you not becoming a millionaire
  • You get to test products and possible keep them for your review

I am soooo on that! I will come back and update this blog if it truly works out!

Pros: Good Value, Easy To Use, Lightweight, Effective

Best Uses: Women, Men, Daily Use

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

My Beauty Routine Takes: 10 Minutes

I have a son who has sever eczema. There are not many OTC options. I tried Avocado oil on his skin for his daily moisturizer, and it works wonders!! It moisturizes and keeps the moisture locked in. I also use it on my face when it starts feeling dry and tight. I have never broken out from it. I LOVE this stuff!

(legalese)

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

I also wanted to share a few pictures with my readers. My son trys to get away with eating items he is not allowed to because it flares up his eczema, and instead of being smart about it and put on extra lotion or oil, he will just not put anything on at all.

This picture is one of a really bad break out, he tried hiding it from me, but mama knows!

(You like the stars dont you)

And only after 3 days of applying the avocado oil once a day….

Yep, that is how awesome this stuff is!
