Beyond Sandwiches with PB Crave™ (Giveaway)

pb crave all four flavors
My husband loves peanut butter. Sure enough, the apple does not fall far from the tree. A peanut butter sandwich is one of Big B's favorites. Although I don't get too creative using it, because hey, it can totally stand on it's own, I have used it apart from bread. Imagine my surprise when I was introduced to chocolate flavored peanut butter, or raspberry peanut butter.

Water Park Fun at Knott's Soak City (Giveaway)

Knott's Soak city logo
My boys love all things water; from a small puddle after the rain to the crashing waves at the beach. Last week, Little B could not get enough of the sprinklers. I can't wait for summer. There are so many parks in OC with water features that I have yet to introduce to him.

EPIC the Movie: The Battle Between Good and Evil (Giveaway)

Over the weekend, I watched one of my favorite good versus evil movies, Lord of the Rings. In all honesty, I have seen the trilogy more than I care to count. There is something about epic battle movies that speaks to me. Whether it's Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Avengers, etc, I just gravitate towards them. There's a new movie coming out this month and I'm quite intrigued. I know that I can't share some of my favorite movies with Big B and Little B yet, the content is just a bit too mature for them. However, I think EPIC might just be something that Big B can understand.

Simply 7 Chips are Naturally Delicious (Giveaway)

Snack time at our house is inconsistent. We actually don't snack during the weekdays. Maybe it's because I don't have snacks out for my family to eat. However, it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy trying new snack items.

Dress Up Chicken with Onion Crunch® (Giveaway)

Lately, I've been experimenting more with recipes; creating my own or doctoring up existing ones. I enjoy eating a lot more than I enjoy cooking, but certainly do like the fact that I control what goes into our food when I cook at home instead of go out to eat. One fun thing about cooking is all the products you can use to create dishes. It's amazing how one simple ingredient can really spruce up a dish.

Hispanic Scholarship Foundation Celebrates Leaders in Education

As a student, I am very much appreciative of organizations that help students achieve their goals through financial aid. Without these institutions, I would not have been able to pursue my advanced degrees, lest I be in overwhelming debt. Whether through a grant, scholarship, or stipend, no matter how big or small the award, I am forever grateful for having been lucky enough to receive support. I am delighted to partner with the Hispanic Scholarship Foundation (HSF) to bring awareness about their commitment to helping students.

Hello Ola! Granola (Giveaway)

I'm not a big snacker. However, when I do snack, I prefer healthier alternatives to fried chips. After discovering the wonders and versatility of granola, I was hooked. There's so many different flavors of granola, it can be both thrilling and overwhelming to pick a favorite. For me, anything with nuts is a definite must try.

Truly's Natural Deodorant - This Stuff Really Works


Truly's Natural Deodorant 2 oz jar
In the past year, I've introduced a handful of lines of natural products for the home and for the kids. Recently, I've also been trying more natural personal care products for myself. Although, I do test the kids' body wash, lotion, and shampoo on me before trying it on them, I have not really shared any natural personal care products just for grown ups (or kids at heart). I tested a natural deodorant and absolutely loved it.

America's Family Pet Expo Comes to SoCal

Big B has been asking for a puppy for the last two years. Although my husband grew up with dogs, I did not. I am not opposed to having pets, I just want to make sure that the kids are old enough to take care of them. So, in lieu of getting a dog, we usually visit the pet store and go to pet-related events. Last year we went to America's Family Pet Expo and Big B had a blast.
