AMINALS DOLL REVIEW

Aminals was kind enough to send us Dinasor to review. I was immediately impressed by its softness and vibrance. Dinasor was a radiant, earthly green color and the perfect size for cuddling. His flat, one-dimensional shape made him easy to grasp and carry.
Aminals are a line of eco-friendly stuffed toys, inspired by children's illustrations. The bright, whimsical, vivid caricatures invite us into the secret, imaginative world of a preschooler. Each Aminal comes with its own little autobiography, but it's up to your little one to decide their next adventure.
All Aminals are certified organic, stuffed with 100% unbleached, unprocessed, petrochemical-free organic cotton and dyed with low-impact, natural vegetable dyes.
Kids' drawings are brilliant, aren't they? Exaggerated proportions, squiggly lines, bright colors; they are creative expression at its most honest - and most hilarious!
Our children live and play in imaginary worlds and secret spaces - they invite their dolls to sit for tea parties, eat mud pies, or carry them upside down to bed with them to keep scary night monsters at bay. They do this in their artwork too!
Inspired by, and in celebration of these imaginary worlds, vivid artwork - and ALL the amazing characters living in them - we bring to life a new line of huggable-soft dolls called Aminals.

Visit http://aminaldolls.com/ when you meet the Aminals, you'll see that each character has its own special story, yet each is ready for new adventures with our kids. The Aminals family will soon be your kids' favorite companions, and most secret confidants!
Meet the Aminals - Dady, Momey, Sistur, Brothr, Duggy, Eflant, Ceeta, Dinasor, Smal Bayr, Liun and Wayul. Visit http://aminaldolls.com/meettheaminals.aspx for a special Aminal doll for a special child in your life.

SODASTREAM REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (*CLOSED*)

SodaStream was kind enough to send me the Fountain Jet Soda Starter Kit and 9 variety of regular and diet flavors to review. Me and my family were happy to try it out and see how it would taste. To our surprise we loved it.

The machine was incredibly easy to assemble. We loved that we could place the machine anywhere on our kitchen counter since we didn't have to consider outlet access. Visit http://www.sodastreamusa.com/ for all their SodaStream soda makers and varieties of flavors.
The instructions were as simple as three steps:
1.) Fill the bottle with chilled water to fill line. You want to make sure the water is cold for best results.
2.) Tilt, screw bottle into the machine and press top button (until you hear buzzing) to carbonate the water to your liking. Three presses is standard but you could press less for a flatter soda or more for a fizzier drink. The bottles are designed to be high-pressure resistant so they can withstand the process no matter how much fizz you add.
3.) Unscrew bottle from the machine, add a capful of the SodaMix of your choice, swirl and voila! One liter of bottle just the way you like it.
I definitely enjoyed my SodaStream Maker! It's a great product that works efficiently. It was fast, and easy to use! That is something I love and look for in products! I loved the soda so much because it really did taste fresher than soda you would buy in the store! We look forward to making more soda with our maker! I know that everyone will be as impressed with SodaStream as we have!

SodaStream is generously giving away a Fountain Jet Soda Starter Kit to one of my lucky readers. That's a $100 value!
MANDATORY: Visit http://www.sodastreamusa.com/Sodamix-Flavors-C12.aspx and tell me a flavor you would like to try. (Diet or Regular)
FOR EXTRA ENTRIES: ( The Above Must Be Done First To Be Eligible For The Extra Entries).

LOCAL BOY BAKERY REVIEW

Brian at Local Boy Bakery was kind enough to let me review some of his baked handmade good cookies. These are the cookies that I got to review.

LEMON ROSEMARY SUGAR COOKIES
The delicate rosemary flavor combines with a touch of lemon to produce a delicious and flavorful snack. Prior to baking, these cookies are lightly dusted with rosemary flavored sugar. The Lemon Rosemary Sugar Cookies were out of this world and they were my favorite.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
A rich, and overly decadent chocolate cookie with a generous amount of chocolate chips. It is a cookie created to satisfy those die-hard chocolate fans. These cookies are great with a glass of cold milk.
GLUTEN-FREE and VEGAN EARTHQUAKE COOKIES
The name "Earthquake" refers to the crackle appearance these cookies develop as they bake. They are crispy on the outside with a moist and rich, chocolate center.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES
Just prior to baking, these cookies are coated with a generous layer of cinnamon sugar. As you bite into the cookie, you will first notice the thin and crisp exterior. At the heart of the cookie, is a soft and tender center with a delicate butter flavor. I find them to be deeply satisfying.

CHOCILATE CHIP and TOFFEE COOKIES
The exterior has a delicate crispness which complements its soft, tender center.


Visit Local Boy Bakery at http://www.localboybakery.etsy.com/ they are based out of Charlotte, North Carolina. Everything is natural and homemade. They make your product when you order it to make sure everything is fresh! All items are shipped in heat sealed bags. I was very impressed with all the cookies. They tasted amazing!

IN MEMORY OF MY DOG MIFFY

MIFFY FERRELL (JUNE 23, 2006 - May 04, 2010)

Today was not a good day for me and my family. I had to put my almost 4 year old Maltese to sleep today. We woke up to blood everywhere in my bathroom and in my hallway. My dog Miffy was bleeding. I sent the kids off to school and I called the vet. They told me to bring Miffy in as soon as possible. Me and my husband rushed to the vet and had them look at her. At first the doctor had asked me if Miffy ate rat poison. We said no. We don't even have rats and we started to think and think. But nothing ever came about it or if she had eaten anything that was poison. The vet did what they could do for her and sent us home with Miffy. Well, as the day went on Miffy got worse the bleeding stop some and she was getting weaker and weaker. I told my husband she is not getting better so we took her to the vet later that evening. There was nothing they could do to save her so we had to put her to sleep.

Me my husband and 3 kids were thier when we put her down to sleep. We all cried and cried but we didn't want Miffy to suffer anymore. We will miss you Miffy! We Love You! Mommy's Baby Girl Always and Forever! Here are some pictures of Miffy I would like to share with my fellow readers.







We Love You Miffy and You Will Be Missed Dearly! GOD BLESS YOU!!! You Will Be In Our Hearts Forever!
Love,
Mom, Dad, Remy, Nicholas & Brielle
