I had a craving for tater tots the other day, and picked some up as a side dish for dinner.
They were exactly as good as I remembered, and my 2 1/2 year old son loved them so much as is he didn't even ask for ketchup!!
I think the only thing would make them even better would be cooking them in the deep fryer, which I might try next time.

I tried and tried and tried to breastfeed, but between 2 bouts of jaundice and being diagnosed with hip dysplasia therefore needing to wear a special harness, my son just wasn't having any of it. I finally decided to move to formula exclusively and I was a changed woman! The first powdered formula we used was Nestle Good Start and my son loved it! He had a full belly and was happy..and happy baby = happy mom! I could finally enjoy the feeding process...and bonus, his dad could participate! Good Start was gentle on his tummy, and he loved it. We used it in his bottles and mixed with Nestle Gerber baby cereal once he started solids. I now have a healthy, active and happy 2 1/2 year old and I wouldn't hesitate to use Good start again!

was chosen to test this as part of the CeraVe Superior panel.
Boy, do I have stretch marks. I had the pleasure of being all belly when I was pregnant with my son. And, I've more or less been told that stretch marks are genetic and that nothing you can do will prevent them.
So, I was excited to try this product. Unfortunately, this didn't work to make them fade or disappear. My skin on my belly was nice and soft though, and it lasted once you put it on (I could still feel it when I showered the next morning). But it didn't really work for its intended purpose.

This was an awesome bonus I received free as part of the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep product review club offering.
Gorgeous packaging, and one pump is all I need to cover my face. I used it in the morning under my moisturizer and makeup and It worked as a nice base . I also used it in the evening under Idealia Skin Sleep. Really, my skin has never looked better. Even alone, the holographic colouring of the serum hides minor imperfections.. I didn't mind wearing just that on occasion.

Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep

I have to be honest... At 33, I still had yet to find a skin care routine that worked for me. I get breakouts and have dry patches, and an oily t-zone. So, I was skeptical but excited when I got selected to test Idealia Skin Sleep for free as part of the Chick Advisor product review club.
The packaging is so pretty. I love the colour of the pot, and the mirrored lid! It feels like a high-end department store brand but you can buy it at your local SDM!
The gel like lotion has a nice light fragrance and a little goes a long way! I've used it every night for the last 3 weeks and it seems like the pot is still almost full.
Over the last few weeks I've noticed nice changes. My skin is more hydrated and smoother. As the mother of a toddler I don't get as much sleep as I'd like, but I didn't realize how much the lack of sleep can affect your skin until I started using this!

My son doesn't usually get diaper rashes, so I used this as a barrier cream mostly. During the two weeks I was testing this out, my son had a bout of diarrhea. Even using the cream, he still got a diaper rash. Maybe the cream prevented it from being bigger, but even using the cream to clear the rash up didn't really work. It was pretty thin, and I am not sure how much stayed on vs got absorbed into the diaper. I'll stick with my 25% zinc oxide Ihle's Paste.

I've never been concerned about wrinkles around my eyes, but after using this for two weeks, I've found that my eye skin is softer and smoother! This little tube goes a long way, and you need very little each time you use it. It's a great value and a great product. CeraVe is a trusted brand in skin care and I'm impressed with their latest offering!

I was one of the lucky people chosen to try the different Baroness chocolate bars for free as part of the Product Review Club offer. I seriously can't choose a favourite. The packaging is really nice, I like the white background, and the description of each bar is cute! All the bars are certified organic, fair-trade and Kosher and they're all also, gluten-free...if only they were calorie free!! The ingredient list contains items I can pronounce and identify. The chocolate is rich, creamy and not overly sweet. Even one or two pieces is totally satisfying because you're eating a high quality chocolate.
The name, Tantric tiger is really sexy, but I think it would be better suited to a dark chocolate rather than a semi-dark. Either way, this bar was good. I love the tartness the dried cranberries added to it, countering the sweetness of the chocolate.

I like chocolate, and while I don't discriminate, I love dark chocolate best. This bar was all milk chocolate with chocolate wafer cookie in the middle. It was really good, but I couldn't finish the whole thing because I find milk chocolate on it's own to be just too sweet. If this bar was in front of me again, would I eat it? Hell yeah. But if I had a choice between this and the other flavours, I'd go with another.

You know, sometimes, you just want chocolate. No nuts, no caramel, no brittle...just delicious chocolate. And that is what the Love and Blessings bar delivers. The mix of dark and milk chocolate is divine.
