The Boys Liked It... and It's Healthy?! Probar Review


Whenever we have the boys here, I have to plan on having plenty of snacks on hand... 
If you think about it, adding three growing boys to the mix, we have to keep them going :)
They are now 16, 14 and almost 12... so yes, they are really growing... 



As much as they would like to munch on candy bars, chips and drink coke all day long, I know that is not possible.  (I mean, wouldn't we all?!)
So, when I heard of the Healthy Food, PROBAR Fruition , I knew I would love the chance to try them while the boys were here... 




I had to try them when they came in and I will not lie, I was so nervous that they would not like them.  I just could not eat them... I think it was the texture.  Probar Fruition is full of fresh fruit... but also full of nuts and seeds.. I just could not deal with it.  Marc said they were "okay" but that was about it.. 
Remembering whenever I have tried to get the boys to try something new, I almost decided against it.. 
BUT, I want them to eat healthy at least PART of the time they are here.. 

So, I waited... and then Marc's family was here and his sister and I got to talking about the bars.. 


They are HEALTHY... They are GLUTEN FREE... 
That got her attention there, as a relative is on a gluten free diet and would probably like it...


I asked the boys if they wanted a snack and of course, they said yes!  
So, I broke out the strawberry fruition bar and gave them each a third of it..

Wow, they scarfed it down and could not talk about how great they were!  
I was shocked... No lie, I had to ask if they were joking or what... 
They were dead serious and were for real about wanting a whole one to enjoy.


At that point, I gave them the box (we were sent all different flavors) and told them they could pick which one they wanted...   I was surprised that they actually shared with each other, as they were all eager to see which flavor was the best... 
One was completely in love with the blueberry and the other two could not stop talking about the cherry!  
They all did agree that they lemon was their least favorite! 
We have actually found a winner!
Not only do the boys love them, fruition probars just won a healthy food award!!!

    Now that's not what I would have expected! Kids are usually the picky ones!

    I want to try one! I'm not picky at all with food. That's my problem.

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.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on... ...
