Your favorite dish and flavor equals the perfect #ChekMate!

The summer is quickly approaching so get out your favorite grilling recipe, grab some Chek soda, and get ready because its time to grill, sip, and relax! With 24 different flavors you can find the perfect fit to accompany your favorite dishes.

 

I was sent a few flavors to try with my favorite dish or use in a recipe! We are big on meal planning and so I wanted to incorporate the soda into what we already had planned (this girl is keeping to the budget!) Tonight the hubby grilled some yummy burgers that he served on the  homemade bread I made earlier in the week.

I decided that we deserved a delicious adult beverage to enjoy after a long day of enjoying the Florida weather. I'm not a huge wine fan but do enjoy a glass of Moscato from time to time so I thought I could make a new drink combining the two drinks.

Ingredients per serving:

2 oz Chek Fruit Punch Soda (Could use other but this is perfect!)

5 oz Moscato (any brand!)

4-6 raspberries (to make it look pretty!)

Pour all into your wine glass, take a seat outside, sip, and enjoy!

What would you pair Chek soda with?

Check your local Bi-Lo or winn dixie store where you can discover your new favorite flavors of Chek. Also if your on my blog I am sure you love freebies so head on over to the facebook page to enter to win Chek soda for a year, free groceries, and more! Good luck!

I received sample products  from BI-LO to share this recipe and post. All opinions are my own.

Meeno Babies "Cool Mee" Seat Liner Review and Giveaway!

Every parents knows how hard it is to keep car-seats cool and clean. From day one my daughter has been my mini heater, works great in the winter when its chilly as snuggling with her could keep me warm all day but not a fun thing in the summer heat. As we live in FL the car can get pretty warm quickly even if we are just running into the store and my daughter is normally all sweaty within minutes of strapping her in the seat.

Meeno Babies has designed a seat liner that not only does the job of helping keep the car seat itself clean but also helps cool down the baby. The layers of unique fabric and insulation help with allow airflow between the child and the seat while reducing sweat and moisture. With a universal design and several color options including pink, blue, tan, black, and silver the seat liner can easily fit most car seats. You can find three different designed liners on the website to fit bucket seats/infant style, regular car seats, and strollers.

I was sent both a regular 'Cool Mee' car seat liner and a 'Cool Mee' stroller liner to review.  Both liners came with a instruction sheet to help with proper and quick installation, the easy to follow directions made installing a breeze.

 

I choose to install the stroller liner on the jogging stroller we use for our nightly walks. This stroller has what is referred to as a five point system, so I did have to unhook and feed the straps through the holes for the shoulder and hip points. Thankfully my stroller is easy to unstrap/re-strap, and the liner stays in place while adding a little color to the stroller. 

 

The carseat liner required a different installation than the stroller but was even easier, I am so glad that it didn't require any unstrapping as we all know that can take along time with carseats. This liner comes in two pieces, the main 'body' piece and the headrest circle which you connect with the provided velcro that allows you to find the right fit for your model of seat.  We have had the seat liner in the car for about a week now and I feel like it has made a difference for my daughter. Of course she is still a little damp when I pull her out of her seat but its a big difference compared to the normal fully soaked shirt. At first I was worried that the liner might shift around while she is seated but once she is strapped in properly it stays put. 

You can head over to Meenobabies.com and find these liners for sale or try your luck at winning one in the giveaway below. Please remember "Always follow car seat manufacture's instructions for restraint systems. Do not allow this item or any other product to interfere with proper functioning of car seat or stroller restraint system. Never leave child unattended." I was provided with the liners to complete this review, no other compensation was given and all opinions are my own.

Canvas Memoirs: Review and $50 Giveaway!

When my daughter Lady A was born everyone kept telling to enjoy every moment as it would go by way to fast. At the time I was so focused on my new baby girls that I didn't really give it too much thought. Fast forward two years, and I mean FAST forward, I find myself thinking of how time really flies by. My once 7 pound newborn is now a potty trained, full sentence talking, and constantly running around toddler. Thankfully in addition to all the memories we have made over the last two years I have tons and tons of photos to document all the stages we are flying through.

Canvas Memoirs can help you proudly display your memories throughout your home with high quality canvas prints at a an affordable price. The ordering process is simple, and can be broken down into three easy steps.

I honestly think the hardest part of the process is deciding what photo to print, it took me a little bit to narrow it down to some options and then present them to the hubby. In addition to the easy ordering process Canvas Memoirs also sends you proofs of exactly what your print will look like so you know before you receive the print if you choose the right size photo.

My canvas arrived in prefect condition as if was wrapped in bubble wrap (extra on the corners too!). The colors are very vibrant and the photo is clear and focused. You can choose to have the hardware already attached as shown above. I would suggest this option as it is once less thing to do, just unwrap, pick a spot, grab a nail and hang. Simple!


Now for the Giveaway! Canvas Memoirs will be giving one lucky winner a $50 GC to CanvasMemoirs.com

Old Navy White Jeans Review!

I was recently chosen to be a part of Old Navy Style Council via Crowdtap and sent a coupon to try out the Old Navy White Jeans. I was both excited to try them and a little nervous as I wasn't sure if I was 'hip' enough to pull them off, I'm normally a simple tee shirt and blue jeans kind of gal.

Crowdtap and Old Navy were nice enough to send two coupons, one for me and one to give to a friend. I decided to give the extra coupon to my friend/neighbor's teenage daughter, as I knew she would really put them to use.

Old Navy White Jean styles Available:

• Rockstar
• Boyfriend
• Diva
• Flirt 
• Sweetheart

Leg Opening Options:

• Skinny
• Super Skinny
• Boyfriend

I ended up trying on a few pairs to see which fit best and decided on the Sweetheart Jeans in Skinny. These are officially my first pair of white jeans and my first pair of skinny jeans too. I've always steered clear of the skinny fit as I thought they would make me look heavier which I was surprised to find they have more of a slimming effect. Now the white thing is a little scary as the mother of a messy toddler, so I might just keep these aside for date nights.

The jeans are lightweight and great for the spring/summer and I liked how they had just the right amount of stretch to them. I know normally I wear a smaller size in Old Navy jeans to begin with but I was loving that fact that I was able to go down even lower than the size I normally wear in this brand thanks to some recent weight lost.

I would defiantly recommend these jeans as a great spring wardrobe staple and I actually might look to pick up a pair of colored jeans if they come in the same styles.

*I was given the chance to try these out for free but all opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy or email me if you have any questions.*

Hapari Review and Giveaway {ends 5/6}

About two years ago I was introduced to Hapari Swimwear, and since then I have been only wearing their swimsuits. With a rambunctious two year old, quality swimwear that keeps everything in place is essential. I am a huge fan of the tankinis, they are both flattering and comfortable while still be trendy and stylish. The two suits pictured above were the very first suits I owned but after losing 25 pounds I need to go down a size (WOOT!)

I really like the new designs including the twist tankini and the new prints like the cheetah sport tankini.  I liked them so much that I ordered them both plus the tummy tuk black bottoms. The tummy tuk bottoms rock, they give me just a little bit of help in the area I need it most without being noticeable or frumpy.

I am so excited that Hapari is giving one lucky reader a $95 giftcard to pick out a suit of their very own.

FunBites Review and Giveaway

In the beginning of the year I left the working world to stay home with my daughter who is now 2 years old. I also watch two sweet girls during the week (ages 2 and 7 months) so with two toddlers in the house during the week I am constantly prepping food! I am always looking for fun new ways to serve the girls lunch mostly to entice them to eat it. As most parents of toddlers know it can be all about appearance at time with kids.  For the most part Lady A (my daughter) isn't a picky eater in fact she can seriously chow down but every once in a while she will flat out refuse to eat sometime mostly because of what it looks like. That's where Funbites comes to my rescue..

Flipflop Wines Review...Moscato & Riesling

As a Florida mommy flipflops are a staple in my wardrobe and now in my wine choice too! In the past few years I have tried a few wines here and there but lately I have been getting into enjoying them more. A few friends of mine are adamant wine drinks so when flipflop wines contacted me I knew we had to get together and have our own little wine tasting.

Moscato:

As soon as I mention a flipflop wine tasting, two of my girlfriends told me how much they love the Moscato. I had already noticed the popularity of the Moscato on flipflop wines facebook page so I knew we had to try even if it wasn't included in the review wines. A few nights before the actual wines I was going to review arrived, we opened a bottle of Moscato and like many others before I fell in love. I'm definitely a sweet wine kind of girl, so this wine was perfect. Actually this wine has fast become my favorite go to wine and even the hubby enjoyed it a few nights ago when we cooked up some chicken alfredo.

Details:

 

 

 

 

Appellation:

California

Tastes like:

Light-bodied Moscato with floral aromas, semi-sweet palate, and a soft, lingering finish.

It is full of:

Crisp, bright aromas balance sweet notes

Eat with:

Pad Thai, Chinese chicken salad or vegetable curry

Serve:

Chilled

Store:

Away from direct sunlight

Riesling:

About a week later I had some friends over for a tasting and game night. It was great to have everyone over and we opened the Riesling shortly after we sat down to eat. I also enjoyed the Riesling, not as much as the Moscato, but it is still up there with my favorite wines. I liked the sweet fruity flavor of the wine and everyone else agreed it was quite yummy.





Details:

 

 

 

Appellation:

Left Coast

Tastes like:

Medium-bodied, Riesling with peach, apricot and melon which lead to a satisfying, smooth finish

It is full of:

Tropical notes and sweet aromas

Eat with:

Tofu stir-fry, shredded pork tacos and sake sashimi

Serve:

Chilled

Store:

Away from direct sunlight

 

 

 

Overall:
Flipflop wines are both delicious and affordable, retail price is about $7 a bottle. Gone are the days when you feel like you need to spend way to much of your hard earned money to able to enjoy a glass of good wine. The affordability of flipflop wines really has me hooked. I have to say that I'm surprised the wine taste this yummy at this price.

Make sure to check out the back of each bottle as it lists all the details you need to know about the wine in order to pair it with a great meal!!

It gets even better, flipflop wines has partnered with Soles4Souls Inc.,to raise  funds to give one pair of flip-flop sandals for each bottle of flipflop wine purchased*!  Not only are enjoying a great affordable wine but your also helping others.

Easy Canvas Prints {Review}

As a new parent, capturing memories with photos is a top priority. Every time she does something cute I run for the camera. I should just keep it in my pocket all day, It would be easier, but I guess the extra exercise is good for me. I feel like I have millions of photos of Lady A, and was really excited when Easy Canvas Prints asked me to review their site and a photo canvas. 

I figured I should go for something recent as we haven’t had anything printed in the last few weeks. It took me a bit of time (like an HOUR!) to decide on which photo I would use. I accessed the site and started the ordering process by first uploading the image. I really like how it shows you exactly how the canvas will look with the preview to the side of the upload. 

After finishing the order process I received a email with the order confirmation and then another when the canvas was actually shipped out to me.

 Don’t you just love getting things in the mail besides bills!

The canvas was packed in a larger box but was nice and snug inside as to not shift back in forth in transit. They also wrapped the canvas in plastic I’m guessing to keep moisture out. 

Lady A is so stinking cute! Ha of course that was the first thing to cross my mine. 

 I checked the back, which looks secure.  I love the fact that they already have the hardware already attached. Just grab a nail and hammer and it's ready for hanging.

When ordering you get the choice of having the image wrapped on the sides. I love the look of it. Overall i'm impressed! I have decided exactly where I will be hanging it yet, but its on display in out dining room for all to see and love!

Thank you to Easy Canvas Prints for sponsoring this review. I was provided with a free canvas for review, no other compensation was provided. All opinions are mine.
