Storelli Head Guard

            We had the amazing opportunity to participate in Smiley360's Storelli mission! I have 3 boys that play a variety of sports. I am always worried about them sustaining head trauma due to lack of protection/head gear, especially when they are playing soccer. Storelli is a brand that primarily designs & manufactures protective gear for soccer. We received Storelli's Head Guard in black. This is a military grade head guard for soccer players that provides extreme impact protection. It comes in a variety of sizes. We received a size 4 which fit my son perfectly. It's made of lightweight & breathable material. The color is gender neutral and according to my kids "it looks cool"! My boys tend to sweat a lot, but the head guard consists of moisture wicking fabric. I'm always warning my boys to be careful about getting kicked in the head. I noticed that my child was more confident in his game when he was wearing his Storelli Head Guard. I didn't have to stress because I felt he had his head protected. Realistically, wearing any type of head guard/head gear is not a guarantee that a head injury won't be sustained. As a mom, it gives me peace of mind knowing that my kids have the option to wear that extra layer of protection. I definitely recommend this product to my fellow soccer mom & dads! They are offering 15% off with the coupon code "STORELLIMOM15", so go to Storelli.com & give it a try!

Chamomile scented Charmin Plus!

   We recieved a free 6 pack of Chamomile scented Charmin from BzzAgent.com! They also sent us five coupons for $1.50 off of one Charmin Plus the scent of Chamomile pack (6 rolls or larger), which we shared with family & friends. The coupons have a scratch & sniff circle on the front, so that people can smell the fragrance prior to purchasing it. We are very picky with the bathroom tissue we use & I have to say that we will definitely be switching to this brand after being able to sample it! A big plus is that it's clog & septic safe! The rolls consist of amazingly soft 2 ply paper & the wonderful smell of Chamomile that's very soothing & relaxing. It also has a pretty floral design on the paper & 6 of these double rolls are equivalent to 12 regular rolls! This definitely beats the rough & boring store brand rolls we have used in the past. Everyone should go out and grab a pack...you will be pleased with Charmin's new Chamomile scented bathroom tissue!

Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D Gummy Bites

       I was very excited that I was chosen by Smiley360 to review Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D Gummy Bites!  With my birthday around the corner,  I have been really focusing on my health so this could not have come at a better time!  I received 10 free samples, along with an informational booklet (that included a $2 off coupon on the back), & an awesome pedometer!  These gummy bites come in 3 different flavors: Black Cherry,  Orange, & Strawberry.  Not only is this supplement good for adults,  but it's also great for teens as well!  As a mom of two teens,  I was excited to share this with them to get their feedback as well.  We all loved the taste ( strawberry was our favorite)! I was diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency,  but I haven't been able to tolerate the pills because they are too difficult to swallow.  These vitamins are chewable & only need to be taken twice a day.  I definitely recommend Caltrate Calcium & Vitamin D Supplement Gummy Bites, go try it out!

New Simon Swipe!

      I was so happy that I was selected to review the new Simon Swipe!  As a child,  I used to love Simon Says, so this was just as exciting for me as it was for my 3 boys! The first thing I noticed was that the product was light & easy to hold. I have a little one who tends to drop things, but he was able to hold the game without any problem.  My favorite feature was definitely the volume control (my boys are noisy enough)! We all liked that this new & improved version allows you to both tap & slide the buttons that light up. This makes it more challenging!  It has up to 16 fun levels that you have to unlock. The boys had a group of their friends over, & this game was really a hit! They chose the Party Game option, & they played with it for hours!  There is also the option of the Levels Game, Classic Game, & Extreme Game. My husband & I have to pry it away from them so that we can play it as well. It's such a wonderful game, great for ages 8 & up, it's gender neutral,  & super fun! Go give it a try! #IplayedHasbropaid #SimonSwipeChallenge

Annie's Homegrown Frozen Entrees

        I received 2 Annie's Homegrown Frozen Entree vouchers which I redeemed at my local Target. I chose the Family Size Lasagna with Meat Sauce & the Family Size Shells & White Cheddar with Chicken. I was impressed with the natural ingredients. Both entrees contained no artificial colors or flavors, and they were both made with whole grains. The lasagna contained natural beef with no hormones & no artificial ingredients. The pasta & tomatoes are organic. The seasoned beef and blend of four cheeses was very tasty! The only thing, is that even though I cooked it at the correct temperature & for less than the recommended time, it appeared to be a bit overcooked. I will keep that in mind the next time I make it. 

The shells & white cheddar with chicken was our absolute favorite! The fact that the chickens used are raised without antibiotics & that it contained minimally processed natural white meat chicken, was a plus for my family. The pasta is organic. Nowadays it is difficult to find entrees that are healthy & that contain natural ingredients such as Annie's Homegrown. It would be nice if the entrees were a bit larger. My family devoured this one in a few minutes! We will definitely be serving these entrees at our home on a regular basis. I recommend this to my friends and families and to those who are looking for healthy options to serve their families. Check Annie's website for a coupon and give it a try!
