Veggies in Space, VeggieTales Review

Our favorite Veggies are at it again in the all new movie Veggies in Space.  Since 1993 VeggieTales have been teaching kids that God not only made them special, but he loves them very much.  Through fun sweet stories VeggieTales teaches kiddos about God's love.

I remember as a little girl I loved VeggieTales so it means a lot to me to be able to share them with my kids.

Synopsis:

Join Captain Cuke (Larry the Cucumber) and his loyal first officer, Mr. Spork (Bob the Tomato), as they embark on an out of this world adventure to save the galaxy from a menacing space pirate.  The surprising reason behind Luntar the Looter’s power-stealing antics lead the entire Veggie crew to learn a valuable lesson about sharing: if you have enough to spare, you have enough to share!

Release Date: March 11, 2014

Link to Buy
As always the Veggies were heartwarming and taught my little guys valuable lessons.  They are fun for all ages and is something any parent can feel good about little their little one watch.

24/7 Frenzy Review and Giveaway 

The Simply Me blog is excited to be taking part in the Magical March Hop event!  Hosted by  http://leahsaysviews.com and Planet Weidknecht http://www.weidknecht.com

I live in PA.  Even as I'm typing this post I'm looking out my window at mass amount of snow.  I know most people dislike the winter, but I LOVE it!  I don't mind the cold and to be honest I hate summer!

With that being said Spring is still on its way.  Regardless if I want it to get warm or not Spring is almost here.

With that being said its time to start getting ready for Spring.

A few things on my to-do-list

1) Spring Clean - I clean EVERYTHING!  Spring is the time for new beginnings and I like my house looking fresh and new.

2) Raid my Boys Closet - Around this time of the year all winter stuff goes on sale.  So I like to stock up for next year :).  I get most of my little guys school clothing now at a HUGE discount.

3) Spruce up my own wardrobe - Hey what woman doesn't want a cute new outfit and pair of shoes!

I went through my Spring clothing and realized I need to do a lot of self shopping this year.  So I began surfing the internet and I stumbled upon 24/7 Frenzy.  I shopped with them before and was honestly shocked I forgot about them!  They have a lot of cute clothing at great prices.

24/7 Frenzy has a huge selection of dresses, tops, rompers, jumpsuits, bottoms, swimwear, sleepwear, intimates and accesories.  Their clothes ranges in sizes small to 3X.  Everything is super cute and very fashionable. 

I personally was able to review the Cut out Sleeve V-neck full print Top in Royal blue.

First I want to say shipping was super fast!  And the shirt is made of a really durable soft material.  I ordered XL and it fits perfectly.  One of my main issues when ordering online is I'm always afraid they wont fit right.  This is the 2nd top I got from 24/7 Frenzy that fits perfectly.  So they are true to their size.

If you are like me and looking to add some cute Spring clothing to your wardrobe you def.  Want to check out 24/7 Frenzy!

Shopping on their site is easy and they have so much to choose from

A few years ago I was able to eat anything I wanted.  Well not really able to, but at 19 I didn't care as much.  Now at 26 I'm regretting some of my choices and starting to really watch what I eat.

Heath is a top priority in my life and I want to make sure I make the best choices for my family.  I don't want my kids to regret stuff later in life so I'm trying to teach them right from the start.  

Campbell's Soup helps by asking us to "address Your heart!"  They offer Heart Healthy Tips, recipes and so much more.

Wordless Wednesday 

A few weeks ago the boys and I went on a small nature hike.  I left both boys take a grocery bag and we collected fun nature stuff.

We had a lot of fun and don't worry I didn't go on to some random persons property this is our back yard/woods :)

Just For Mom Savings

*Disclosure- I received a ShopperIncite booklet for the purpose of this reveiw.

Just For Mom Savings

As a long time mom (Since 2007) I can tell you having a baby is expensive! I was always impressed that something so small could need so many things, the expenses add fast...  Faster then my hubby and I could keep up.

 A few years ago I would have rolled my eyes at the thought of using coupons.  Now I'm the crazy lady always looking for the best deal and searching for how to get the most out of my coupons.

If you try you can save money on almost anything!  From diapers, food, clothing and so much more.

As a mom I feel its important I share money saving tips with other moms so today I want to tell you about ~Just For Mom Savings~

Its an awesome site that sends out a coupon book that all new moms will love!  And I'm told the more moms that sign up the better the coupons will get.

The best part is its FREE!  Oh and its small enough to fit into your purse or diaper bag :)

My review:

I was able to review 5 Enchanted Tales DVDS.  Four of these DVDs were double features!  I'm sure you know I had 2 very excited little boys.

I was able to review

The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Gulliver's Travels

Tom Thumb Meets Thumbelina and Princess Castle

Anastasia and The Legend of Su-Ling

Tarzan Of the Apes and Treasure Island

The New Adventures of Peter Rabbit

First off I want to say each of the Tales were cute, fun and perfect 

for little kids. I personally really liked the characters and how adventurous they were. Each endearing Enchanted Tales story is full of fun sing along songs, cute heart-warming characters, epic adventures and lots of kid friendly humor :).  They bring all the classics to DVD.

The DVD's I reviewed are only a few of many.  These make the perfect gifts for any little one.

Whipped cream topping recipe

Whipped cream topping recipe

This is one of my favorite recipes.  The main reason is because its so yummy, but I also love how versatile it is.

You can use this as a cake icing, strawberries and whip cream and so much more.  I like putting it between 2 chocolate chip cookies!  So good :3
And the recipe I'm about to give you makes a lot.  I was able to icing a cake, give Quinn a strawberry snack, make a few chocolate chip cookie sandwiches and I even have a 

small amount left in a Tupperware container. (Which I froze)

Oh and yes I know my cake is not pretty, but it did taste good!

Whipped Cream topping

Need:

2 Cups Heavy Cream

1 tsp vanilla ext.

4 tbsp Powdered Sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl beat cream until it forms soft peaks.

add the vanilla and sugar and beat until it forms stiff peaks..

Then your done!!  

Easy, right?!?!?

If you are wondering what a "stiff peak" looks like see my photo below.  This is when I was done mixing and getting ready to icing my cake.

My review:

I live in PA so this Valentine's day I was snowed in.  Well not really "snowed" in, but our roads were horrible and I didn't want to go out unless 100% necessary.  So my hubby and I stayed home.  On Valentine's Day Fedex came to my house and delivered a package.  I bet you can imagine how surprised I was to see 'Be My Valentine'.  It was perfect since I was staying home I though what the heck lets make it a movie night!

Its a cute movie that was perfect for our little date night.  The story plot is a bit slower though.  So if you like fast paced this movie is not for you!
