Rumiano Organic Cheese Compliments Any Meal

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

My family doesn’t drink “cow milk” as my children call it, but we still eat dairy based ice cream, yogurt, and cheese. I prefer to buy organic dairy products when I can. My family loves cheese and all the different varieties. Our local co-op carries some organic cheese brands including Rumiano.

I was able to get Mozzarella, Sharp Cheddar, and Pepper Jack blocks of cheese to try out. You can also get packages of Rumiano sliced cheese, which is perfect for sandwiches.

Rumiano Organic & Non-GMO Cheese

My whole family loves eating grilled cheese with tomato soup. I used the sharp cheddar to make the sandwiches with sourdough bread. Yummy! I prefer to dip the sandwich in the soup to eat it! The mozzarella is great on a homemade pizza. It is easy to grate and hard to resist eating on its own. The pepper jack adds some spice to a veggie burger.

Top Gifts for Dad This Fathers Day from Best Buy #GreatestDad

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Father’s Day is fast approaching! Have you thought of what to get your dad or husband? I can think of a handful of things that are on my husband’s wish list.

When searching for the perfect gift, identify what kind of persona your dad or husband most relate too. Do they like to entertain? Do they always want the latest gadget? Are they a fitness fanatic? Do they like to capture every moment? No matter what persona the dad in your life has, Best Buy has you covered.

My husband is an Entertainer. Or at least he enjoys playing video games and watching movies in his free time! As a grad student, he needs to relax at night after the kids go to bed. Sometimes we watch movies, other times he plays some video games. My husband also loves to listen to music and has a growing record collection.

Handheld Veggie Spiral Slicer

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Last summer my mom showed me her coolest kitchen gadget: a contraption that slices veggies into noodles and other small pieces. I thought it was amazing and I knew I wanted one, but I didn’t have the space to store something like this in my kitchen. We made a delicious zucchini pasta with the spiral cut pieces. When I saw a simpler version of the spiral slicer, I knew it was a must have.

The SuperSwizz Spiral Slicer is a hand held gadget that is easy to use. With two size options, you manually twist the veggie, such as cucumber, carrots, zucchini, etc. and you ends up with perfectly cut spiral slices.

Designer Kids and Baby Fashion ~ Two Blossom Lane

This is a sponsored post from Two Blossom Lane.

My daughter’s birthday is coming up and I always like to buy her a special outfit to wear to her party. My daughter absolutely loves dresses, so I start there.

I like to browse the internet for small stores that carry children’s clothing. I recently came across Two Blossom Lane, an online boutique of kids and baby clothes.

Two Blossom Lane is based in Northern Sydney. They carry multiple lines of children’s clothing from Australia and International retailers. They carefully select the pieces they feature in their stores. Clothes range in size from 0-6 yrs. They are constantly adding to their stock, so you can frequently check what they are carrying.

Get 12 Hours of Freedom with Softcup #HelpASisterOut

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I never look forward to my period, but I do look forward to getting the protection I need. I have tried a variety of products to help protect me during my period. The most recent one was Softcup.

Softcup is a flexible cup that is worn internally and offers 12 hour of protection. The cup is worn around the cervix and collects the menstrual flow as opposed to absorbing it. It’s hypo-allergenic, latex-free, and completely safe when used as directed.
