I made trail mix!! #sharelittlesecrets #BackToSchool

Looking for a fun after school snack?  Why not grab a few things and let your younger ones help you make a fun "trail mix" for when you need snacking on the go?! 
I will be totally honest with you - I have no creative flow when it comes to cooking or anything food related.  That being said, I deciided to try making trail mix and it was so good mixing it up with dark chocolate treats!   (I am 99 % always going to say NO to dark chocolate.  Well, I used to say no that often, but these little secrets has me saying YES!)

We were sent a selection of goodies from Little Secrets to check out and they were so good! We were all eating them plain, just enjoying the candies, but then I thought it would be fun to mix it up and make a trail mix.  Honestly, I was trying to find a way to savor the tastiness for a bit longer too!




I started the whole thing with placing the different candies in ramekins and letting everyone guess what flavor they were.  Each flavor was awesome and now I want to try the newest - Sea Salted Peanut and Toasted Coconut!  (They also have seasonal flavors like spiced pumpkin and peppermint, so seriously.. check them out!)   They have no artificial ingredients, so its okay to treat yourself to a nice mid day snack.  It would also be a great reward system for those that do sweet treats for the younger ones!  (Just a thought!) 

Want to know what I used to make my trail mix?
I didn't measure anything, so just mix in the amount you want to use.
Almonds 
Pistachios
Cashew 
Little Secrets Flavor of Choice 
Cranberries 

I made it, threw it in storage containers and then we snacked on it and packed it for lunches as well!  So good and sweet / salty.  YUM!!!!

What do you add to your trail mix?

    I have never heard of Little Secrets before and they sound yummy. I would love to try the toasted coconut, peanut butter and spiced pumpkin pie the most.

    These look good I need to find them! I put just about anything I have small amounts left into trail mix and it will get gobbled up!

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...
