Indiana Artisan Best Boy & Co. {Product Review}


On occasion I have those moments when I say, "I love being a review blogger!" Opening the package from Best Boy & Co. started out like any other review. Each of the jars and the bottle were wrapped for shipping and when I pulled them out they had simple yet classy labeling. I liked the Best Boy & Co. logo it has the silhouette of a dog which is comforting to me (kind of strange I know) but I do love dogs. Their products have such a relaxing appeal to me, perhaps it's the logo, the hand signed packaging or the fact that their products are made in my home state of Indiana. Whatever the case may be I instantly felt at ease to dive right in and try these new and unique sauces. 


The products mentioned here were given to me free for the purpose of review. All views and opinions are my own honest evaluations. See Disclosure.

Make It A Sweet Summer

This is a sponsored post. See Disclosure.

Summer time always reminds me of the sweet cakes I would have on my birthday. Being born a Summer baby I have always enjoyed fun outdoor birthday parties. Growing up I loved having my parties outside because there's nothing quite like having cake and icecream on a hot Summer day with friends and family. I will never forget one of my favorite birthday cakes as a child. It was a strawberry shortcake made with real strawberries. My mom had a fun picture of me licking icing off my fingers and I was wearing about a million bangle bracelets! Remember those? A child of the 80's I have lots of fun memories of my delicious birthday cakes.

The Great Closet Challenge- a challenge for late spring cleaning.

Warning: This post is not for the faint of heart.
As many of my readers might know-I'm what you might call organizationally challenged. I have issues with clearing the clutter. I work very hard to fight the hoarder in me and try not be so sentimental about stuff, yet it's an ongoing battle. A blogging friend and I were chatting about how we both have this problem of letting things go and keeping our homes organized. As we were chatting I had this thought. When I have a specific goal of cleaning a small area I do well. What if we challenged ourselves to clean up one small area of our home? If we can clean up one closet how much better we will feel, and then we can take on another area that needs work. Just one small thing at a time. Starting with-what lies behind the closet door. I dare you to read on.

My Winter Surprise-Let's Get Real

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Aflac. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.  See Disclosure.
My fun winter surprise. (note my sarcasm here)
It started with a random sharp pain in my side. My side started to feel itchy, and I couldn't control the urge to scratch, scratch and scratch some more. I wondered if I somehow got poison ivy in the middle of winter. I figured it must just be dry skin, so I lathered on the lotions several times over a couple days trying to get some relief. Then the blisters showed their ugly little faces. At first I thought they were pimples from all the lotions I was using. I called my mom to tell her about it and complain to a listening ear. She looked up my symptoms online and said, "Becky, I think you have shingles." I thought to myself, seriously? As if I needed one more thing on my plate to deal with, and these suckers were painful. Our doctor had recently decided to take a position at a hospital and she left her practice, leaving all her patients high and dry. We were without a doctor, so I did the only logical thing I could do. I went to a convenient care clinic. The visit was easy, the doctor on duty took a passing glance at my side, and get this. He laughed. It was a chuckle really, but still it annoyed me. "Yes", he says, "it's shingles, no big deal." It felt like a very painfully big deal to me at the time. He wrote the prescription, I walked to the desk to checkout and pay my co-pay. I filled the prescription and hoped to start feeling better fast. About 3 weeks later it came in the mail. A bill from the convenient care clinic. What? I had paid our co-pay. I call our insurance to see what was going on. They don't cover convenient care in non-weekend or non-emergency situations. We had to pay the additional $140 out of pocket. Talk about adding insult to injury! My shingles were still giving me a real pain in the side, and now I was being hit where it hurts...in the pocket book.

Oransi-Ionic Refrigerator Air Purifier {Review}


I received the product mentioned in this review free for the purpose of review, all views and opinions are my own honest evaluations.

I'm a realist when it comes to smells and sometimes life can really stink. I don't care who you are there has been a time when you've cracked your refrigerator door and a stinky odor has leaked out and you immediately gag and slam the door closed. What is that smell? You start to think over all the things you've put into your refrigerator over the last few days and you think to yourself nothing smelled like that! There are those foods that smell great when they are hot and fresh but just sitting in the fridge over night suddenly they take on a stink bomb effect...just waiting on the first victim who opens the door. God forbid it's you then you get to be the lucky one to throw it out and try not to puke. Yes, I'm being dramatic..but just a little bit. Our fridge always has one smell or another from our leftovers to the newest groceries certain foods smell stronger than others and it's not always bad. Some food smell delicious and inviting. That's why we seem to keep making the trek back to the fridge late in the night..am I right?

Spread the Word. Saturday is Coming!

Saturday May 11, 2013
It's as easy as cleaning out your pantry. Take all those canned goods and boxes of noodles you aren't going to use and bag it up to feed families in need. Easy, right? The cool part is you don't even have to deliver it to a food pantry! This coming Saturday just set out your food goods by your mailbox and your letter carrier will pick it up to be delivered to a local food pantry in your community.
Some great ideas for donations:
  • Peanut butter
  • Canned Soup
  • Canned Meats and Fish
  • Canned Vegetables, fruits and juices
  • Boxed Goods (such as cereals and breakfast bars)
  • Pasta and Rice
I'm sure you have many of these items sitting in your pantry right now that you could share with someone in need!
Please no glass containers or expired food items.

VACCeptable Injuries Reader Event



Welcome to the 
"VACCeptable Injuries"  
Reader Review Event! 
May 6-June 1, 2013
Offering you a chance to Read, Review and Enter!
The Mommy Island along with several other fabulous bloggers are happy to bring this event to our readers. An event like no other, we hope to open a dialog on this important topic-Vaccine Related Injuries.
As a parent to the little guy we lovingly call the Booper, we found this book to be very eye-opening. Never before had I even considered the fact that Vaccines could cause injury or harm to my child. This is a great book for parents wanting to make an informed decision on Vaccinating. I'm not a doctor and I'm not giving medical advice, but it's critical to make the choice yourself and not feel forced into a decision by anyone. ~Becky

Author Markus Heinze is so passionate about telling his story that he is sponsoring this event to share his book with everyone. Unlike some events we are offering every person who enters the chance to download "VACCeptable Injuries" for free. Along with a free book, we are offering two great Amazon prizes.
