Image Credit - It'Sugar There is no denying that candy is a big part of childhood for many people.  Maybe you did not get to eat it often and it was a special treat to have a piece when you went to grandma's?  Maybe you all shared a box of sweetness when you went to the movie?  As a child, I remember walking to the local store with my Nana and us buying some candy from time to time.  You know, back when you could get a little brown paper bag and have an assortment of treats that were like 5 cents each or something!  (Am I showing my age now?)   Well, if you have classic memories like that, you might want to take a trip down memory lane and head on over to IT'SUGAR to see what all they ca...

(Maybe having 2 "babies" instead of just 1 adds to it, I am guessing!)  I don't know if you have Halloween traditions as far as dinner, but we all need to eat beforehand, if not... candy will really want to be eaten that night and we all know that as tasty as it is, candy for a meal is not the way to go.  Maybe you cook something, maybe you pick up...  How about grabbing a sack of Krystals to feed the crew before the adventurous night out??? To help get you into the Halloween spirit, Krystals is offering one lucky reader a Halloween pack.  This pack includes: a Halloween basket  fille...

I know sometimes it is so hard for me to figure out what to get my dad.. Marc as well... So, I hope to trigger a thought or two for you in the next couple days as to great Father's Day gifts!!! I was originally going to run a review for Mother's Day on See's Candies ... but then I learned that See's Candies made the daddy in this house a VERY HAPPY MAN... So, that being said... It is part of my Father's Day reviews... I was not really familiar with all that See's Candies had to offer, but I had noticed that my sister had mentioned it on facebook a couple times... and then this past Christmas, we ha...

Broxton loves the candy, Ring Pop.  His teacher gave him one as his treat for learning his Bible Verse once and he was so excited over it... It amazes me the smile on his face with this treat!  Well, we recently learned that Ring Pop has expanded for a greater reach.... Now, they offer MY RING POP .  A site where you can personalize/customize the ring pop to have a wrapper say something special just for the occasion.  You could have it say :"Great Job!" with the teachers name... or maybe "Thanks for celebrating" and give them as favors for a party... On their site, they showed brides to be using this to ask their friends to be bridesmaids...   With the My Ring Pop site, you can order from 25-...

I was never really a fan of Mike and Ike...  Not because it doesn't taste good, but because I had never had it to know any different. Luckily with blogging, I have had the chance to try them and I see I was missing out!!!! Mike and Ike are going RETRO until April and they brought back a few favorite flavors... Lemon and Watermelon  released 1991 Cherry and Bubble Gum released 1989 I was excited to try them and I was hopeful that Broxton wasn't going to like the same flavors as I did... We now know that he does, as he was quick to share the Lemon and the Cherry... But for some reason he could never seem to reach a Bubble Gum or Watermelon one in the box!!!! So, if you enjoyed these wonderful flavors back then... or if you love Mike and Ike and want to try out these flavors from the past...  Head on out and pick up a couple boxes... They wont last long!!!! FTC Compliant Review Policy: The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me ...

Breaking News in the delicious world of candy!!!!! Today, I have two pieces of great tasting information to share with you! Up First :   Did you hear the news of Mike and Ike? I received an email about it and although I was never a Mike and Ike fan... (Truth be told, I don't think I had ever tried them...) I was a bit saddened by the news of their split...  It seems as though Mike and Ike are no longer Mike and Ike... Mike is off pursuing his musical dreams... and Ike is working on his artistry!!! No Mike and Ike is like peanut butter and no jelly. Ham no burger. Ice no cream. Koolaid no sugar.. It just is not right! As you can imagine... There is a heated debate going on at this house.. Marc is Team Ike all the way and Broxton is adamantly pulling for Mike!   Image: NVision Photography Remember how I said I wasn't a fan?  Well, that was before I tried these bits of yummy goodness!  I was able to snag a coupl...
