Pillsbury Brownies, Oh my! - Review and Giveaway


Broxton is not in school, so luckily we do not have to worry about snacks for the class or bake sales or anything like that... YET!
But, we do have the boys here for summer...
Yes, our home is 4 boys, daddy and poor ol' me!

Luckily for me, I was able to review the Pillsbury Brownie Pack!
Working with My Blog Spark, I was sent a gift card to Sam's to purchase brownies, 2 tubs of frosting, a container to hold all the yummy brownies and an icing kit!

Let me just tell you...
The boys kept asking over and over when we were going to go get the brownies...
So, we loaded up and headed over to Sams...

Whoa!
Get to the bakery section and we grabbed them!
They were so excited that they were already made!
All we had to do was get home and cut them up!
(I am sure if we had a knife... and if they were allowed to eat in the car, they would not have made the trip home!)


We got home and I frosted up the brownies...
The boys (and daddy) liked the chocolate frosting the best...
I enjoyed the Cheesecake frosting most of all...
They are great and moist as they are, you really do not need the frosting, but who am I to pass up more sweetness?!
I will tell you a secret, the boys did not pass up eating any of them!

They were so yummy!
It was like a chocolate explosion!
Chocolate brownies, with chocolate chunks in it... Add to it chocolate frosting, HELLO!!!!
(and since they were already made, we did not have to worry about them being undercooked or burnt!)

This would be great to take to a neighborhood cookout...
Or to a pot luck at Church (you do not want me to cook anything!)
Or to a school function...
Or, like us... Just to eat at home!!!!

Want to find out just how yummy they are?
Well, YOU have the chance to!!!

    I think these would be FABULOUS on a hot summer night with homemade ice cream. We've been churning out the stuff in different flavors all summer, but we haven't eaten it with brownies. That would really take it to the next level!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.)
