Back to school has always been a fun time around here.  New school clothes, new school supplies and of course the opportunity to make new friends and learn new things.  I don't know about you guys, but have you seen the meme's about kids needing to get back to their school stomach's of not having 15 snacks and 47 breakfasts and lunches?  Well, with Savannah being in 1st grade, she has to take a snack daily.  We of course have a variety of items for her to choose from and 9 times out of 10 she wants a snack when she gets home from school while dinner is finishing up.  We were sent Welch's Juicefuls for review and the plan was to take a box for a snack on our trip this summer and then have them for the house, but once both kids tried them, they didn't make it in the snack bag for vacation.  They are really tasty and the surprise juice inside is an added bonus!   Officially making a splash across retailers nationwide, these new next-level snacks – av...

As I work on my list of items to get for Broxton's school year, I still go back to the lunch idea's.   I know a few I will be getting, but then I had the chance to review the Welch's Fruit Snacks and I had another great item to send to lunch!   We got to review a few different flavors and loved them all.  I was just surprised to see what the big assortment of flavors was they offered.   You know, most places just have the basic fruits...

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...
