Rocky Mountain Popcorn Review

If I could think of one snack that we must have during our family movie nights.... it would be POPCORN!!! Not sure if it's ingrained in our brains from the movie theaters, but I crave it while watching a movie. Thanks to Rocky Mountain Popcorn, we had plenty of popcorn for our family movie night!

 Rocky Mountain Popcorn has an excellent variety of flavors. We all tried every flavor. All of us pretty much liked everyone of them, the Southwest Cheddar and Jalapeno flavors were a bit too spicy/ hot for my kiddos.  After our taste test, we each had our special bag that was claimed as our own!!! Our favorite picks are as follows: Jalapeno for my hubby, Caramel for my son, White Cheddar for my daughter, and I loved the Kettle Corn flavor. Each of the bags were full of delicious, tasty popcorn. They weren't over loaded with crumbles, and didn't contain any kernels that hadn't popped! More yummy for the tummy!!! =)

While reading through Rocky Mountain Popcorn's website I learned quite a bit about their popcorn's nutrition, and guess what is my new favorite snack? Um.... Rocky Mountain Popcorn!!! They air pop their popcorn....which I love.....keeping it extremely low in saturated fat!!! According to their website, "Rocky Mountain Popcorn is all natural, gluten-free, nut-free and certified non-GMO." &" You won’t find corn syrup or partially hydrogenated anything in Rocky Mountain Popcorn" Not too mention the fact that popcorn has more protein than an egg or spinach, and it contains fiber and antioxidants. Can we say, "Wooo HOOO" for guilt free munching?!!! 

Keep up with Rocky Mountain Popcorn's latest special promotions by checking out their blog, facebook page or twitter account. Know I will be...  This popcorn is one of those rare, good for you, snacks that we all loved! =)

~ If you would like to receive 3 free bags of Cinnamon Sugar flavor.... like their facebook page and send three friends over to like it as well. Then email those names and your address to marketing@rmpopcorn.com 

*I received the above products through Sublime Media Connection in exchange for an honest review. In no way was I asked to give a positive review. As always, all opinions {good or bad} are my own. If you would like more information please see my Disclosure.

Sodastream Review

 When I heard about the Sodastream, and making your own soda at home..... I had to find out more. 

After trying it out, we learned that....

1. The Sodastream is simple to set up, and make a liter of soda, flavored water, fruit drinks and more.

2. Sodastream soda's are healthier for you since they have less calories.

3. Using the Sodastream is better for the environment.

                                                                                Set up and Ease of Use

I was sent the Fountain Jet model in Black/Silver. You can attach the Carbonator in just a few seconds and it's ready to go. Very easy to set up! Since you do not need to use electricity, you can make your soda anywhere. We made ours on the kitchen table so the kiddos could see and help. Didn't really need much help because all you do is fill the Liter bottle up to the line. Then attach it to the machine, and pump the desired about of carbon into the water. We used 4-6 pumps because we love the fizz! The last thing is to add the flavor you desire. The whole process takes just under 3 minutes. Yes, I timed us just to see! =D

Happy Birthday USA!

 Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July!!!!

 Hope all of you have a wonderful day with family &/or friends celebrating our nations Independence! I will be taking the day off blogging to spend time with family, and will be back posting on the 5th.      - Amanda =)

My Garden of Weedin'

Weeds are normal in any garden, I know this. Just really don't want them in ours making a home and hanging out!!! =)

Weeds, your days are numbered! {insert evil laugh here}

Trying not be OCD about keeping the weeds out is how I have decided to play this one! Not sure if all gardeners have my attitude about weeds, but I figure once every two or three weeks is all the time I'm willing to put in pulling weeds. {Especially in this heat wave we are going through in the Midwest... 105 degrees in Southern Indiana today}

Just figure if there's a weed.. there's a weed. What's the worst that could happen..... the pics for my blog post will not be as pretty. I can live with that! 

Don't get me wrong I do pull all the weeds on a set day, and make sure the rows all look nice again. See I want this Organic Gardening Adventure to be a fun one... not a stressful, "Did you get all the weeds pulled?" one.

Our first baby green tomatoes! Aren't they cute?! LOL =D

 All of the little issues I'm learning to deal with are so small compared to the huge pay out of fresh veggies in just a couple weeks! So excited.... I have a few little green tomatoes, baby banana and green peppers already. Not to mention the romaine that has been providing us with fresh salads. {Go Here to read  my post on romaine lettuce}

I am having such a fun time learning about how to organic garden, and also just general facts about taking care of all these veggie plants. For instance, I really had no idea that different plants used different minerals from the soil, or that tomato plants need to be pruned.  ..... think I am getting ahead of myself......more on all of that next week! =)

Grandma's Pure and Natural Review

I was recently given the opportunity to review Grandma's Pure and Natural Soaps through The Pitch List.

 
Grandma's Pure and Natural Lye Soap- This soap doesn't have any added detergents, and is said to ease Eczema, Psoriasis, and dry skin. I will tell you right off that we have all three of these skin issues in my house.  I was worried how our skin would react, and didn't let the kiddos try it at first, just in case. No worries.... this soap is wonderful!!!! Not only do you just feel cleaner using it, it didn't irritate my skin at all. My eczema on the backs of my arms is practically gone too in just one week!!! We give Grandma's Pure and Natural Lye Soap two big thumbs up!

Grandma's Pure and Natural Don't Bug Me Bar- This soap is coming in really handy for us! It repells mosquitos, and boy do we need it where we live {which is in a river city}. You can't go outside for even a few seconds without that buzz in you ear.... they are everywhere!  The company recommends showering and leaving the lather on a few minutes before rinsing for the best results. I hate to spray my kiddos down, and the Don't Bug Me Pure Soap is kid safe, DEET Free, and all natural. They use essential oils in this soap bar to repel mosquitoes without using chemicals! The Don't Bug Me Pure Soap is definitely a must have if you live in a West Nile area like we do, and want to keep those pesky suckers away without using chemicals.

 

 
Grandma's Pure and Natural Poison Ivy & Oak Bar- This bar has Jewelweed, which is a natural antidote for poisonous plants!! {Did you know that?.... I didn't until I received this bar} The Poison Ivy & Oak Bar has 3 uses listed on it's label for the rash or blisters, to prevent the rash, and insect bites. For treatment of rash, blister, or bites they recommend putting a little lather on the affected area and allowing it to dry.  We used this bar on a small patch of poison ivy my son had on his leg, and it did relieve the itching! Only been using it 2 days at 3 times a day, and he hasn't complained about it itching again, which means the Poison Ivy & Oak Bar really works!!!

 I have been super impressed with Grandma's Pure and Natural Soaps, and believe that my results match up with what the company claims. They are great products, and I highly recommend them!!! =)


~If you would like a chance to win the Grandma's Pure and Natural Summer Survival Pack {which includes the Don't Bug Me Bar and the Poison Ivy & Oak Bar} go HERE! This giveaway has links to all the other giveaways for the Grandma's Pure and Natural Summer Survival Pack going on through The Pitch List. You may enter as many of the 20 giveaways as you want to increase your chances, but can only win on one blog. =)

Learning As We Grow

This week we had our first salad fresh from the garden, and it was ok.

Knowing that we grew it ourselves made it even better. 

It was a bit bitter, and after reading up think the leaves should be picked when they are smaller. 

Apparently, the larger the Romaine leaves are, the more "nutty" {bitter if you ask me} they will taste. Oh Well... that is what this is all about= learning as we GROW right?! ;)

Hate to keep this one short and sweet {or bitter.... lol}, but the weeds are starting to take over the corn and pepper plants!

 Seriously...some kind of vine keeps popping up and within a day is half way up the corn or pepper plants! Those babies are driving me nuts!!! Off to weed the garden I go....before it gets too stinking hot! LOL

More on the weed issue next week. Have a great weekend!  =)
