How can this be a limited edition!? This is the best popcorn EVER!
The awesomeness that is Smartfood has just gone over the top of delicious! I ate half a bag today. By myself. While my kid was napping. I felt like I was doing something scandalous and loved every second of it.
I actually fought off the dog for trying to nab a piece I dropped...I won. I WON against a dog who perpetually acts like he's being starved. It's that good.

Liberte Mediterranee Yogurt

So it's a little pricey and I've never seen it on sale, and not all stores carry it, but aside from that...
YUMMO!
I'd never have purchased this product if it weren't for looking for a full-fat yoghurt that my little one would enjoy. I knew Liberte products to be good, and this one certainly disappoint!
It's the highest fat yoghurt I could find - 10% milk fat. And the texture is incredible. Silky, thick, creamy, decadent. For a plain yoghurt it doesn't have the typical bitterness. This yoghurt is indulgent and supports ANY ingredient beautifully - fresh berries are my favourite.
It's also the only plain yoghurt my 7 month old will eat that doesn't cause him to make faces!
I know I'm enjoying quality and providing excellence for my family with Liberte products.

FORGET MESH FEEDERS!
I've made three attempts to use a mesh feeder with my little one and I HATE them - they never ever get clean.
Just the use of them, it's obvious that my little one can't even get all the food out of it because it tends to drop down into the handle instead of staying in the mesh part.
But this review is not about how crummy mesh feeders are - it's about how awesome Boon Silicone Pulp Feeders are!
- Easy for little one to hold
- So obviously great to chew on - feels great on baby gums
- Food slides very easily toward the holes
- Food extrudes easily through the punched silicone holes
- SO VERY EASY TO CLEAN! Dishwasher safe and everything!
- Compatible with baby led weaning - hard-to-hold foods can be eaten with independence

This high chair is working really well for us - strapped to a dining room chair. Secure, adjustable for different sizes and different ages. I love how easily I can transport it.
My only complaint is that the straps are a woven nylon on our model (apparently not all models have the same straps) and they don't clean very easily.
That said, I contacted FP and they have the BEST customer service for dealing with these sorts of issues!

Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps
So yummo. Just salty enough, crispy without being "sharp", addictive! A little hard to find (Bulk Barn) and a little pricier than competitive products like chips. My only complaint is that they're a bit oily.

Graco Fast Action Click Connect Jogging Stroller

So it's a little cumbersome - heavier and larger than a lot of strollers, however, so forgivable when you discover just what this stroller is all about!
We have put this stroller through its paces. We intentionally chose this Graco Click Connect stroller for its value and ratings. Reasonable price, compatibility with a car seat, adjustable for multi-phases of childhood, and as we've come to discover - so very durable! Our local place to walk is unpaved, hilly, and for most of this winter, covered in snow and ice. The inflatable tyres have allowed us to go "off roading" over and over again.
And although it's heavy, it does fold up and adjust positions easily. It also has great features like an mp3/iPod/cell phone holder, storage spaces, cup holders for parents and baby.
We've not tried it in summer weather yet, but considering how well it has handled rough use in the winter, I think we're good to go!

For the first time in a long time, we went for lunch at A & W today....
And what a pleasant surprise!
They've updated the quality of their product considerably. The french fries are fresh and potato-y, the new buns are like real bread... Overall, the meal was so much more enjoyable than the typical fast food experience.
Way to go A&W;for upping your game! (And of course, the root beer was still as refreshing)...and A&W;are always great for not watering down their pop with ice.
Next time - gotta check out the onion rings. Maybe they've gone back to the good, ol' fashioned type they used to sell instead of the weird seasoned breading they switched to a number of years back.

All in all? I still keep a stash in the cupboard (thanks to a Christmas tradition of one in every stocking) and don't have much of a resistance against the "whack and unwrap"!
A great balance of milk chocolate and orangy-goodness :)

PC Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
Don't bother. Weird texture and worse - no taste! According to the ingredients, there's nothing really unfamiliar or unnatural, and there is, apparently, actual chocolate in these...but blindfolded I'd never have been able to identify anything... +

Sooo much minty wonderfulness!
My entire family has been using this lip balm for years! Even guys I've dated who "don't wear that stuff" have been converted into thinking this is sufficiently good to be okay for guys to wear. (silly boys!)
It's smooth, it's minty, it lasts ages, the ingredients are all top-notch, there are no "medicinal" components so your lips can love this stuff as often as you like without worrying about addictive reactions...
It can be pricey as compared to other lip balms, but I guarantee the moment you drop the hint, people will put a few tubes in your stocking! Sometimes you'll find it on sale as well. Or, you might deem it totally worth it! Considering what a long-lasting product it is, I'm sure if you took the time and care to break down the cost-per-use you'd laugh at how amazingly affordable this product really is!
Burt's Bees for LIFE!
