You had me at No Artificial anything! @ReedsGingerBrew #Review #GlutenFree #PreservativeFree #CaffeineFree #Sodas #Spon

Aren't all the colors of the Brews beautiful? Colas, Cream Sodas, Root Beers, and even Ginger Beer (Ale.)


I'm truly amazed by REED's Inc.  with all of their Brews being GMO Free, Preservative Free, Caffeine Free, and with No Artificial anything while still maintaining a great taste of fresh ingredients, and the carbonation is to die for.  When I am craving a Soda, it's that carbonation, and mix of Flavors that I want.  The first Soda I wanted to try was the Zero Root Beer that has No Calories!!  It was delicious, and hit the spot I was looking for.  Something Sweet while the foam was perfect on top! I then tried the Jamaican Style Ginger Beer (Ale) and was blown away by the spices.  These are how Sodas were meant to be Brewed.  

With detail to Flavor like that I completely can taste why each beverage tastes as strong, and smooth as they do. "Virgil's made naturally for the soft drink connoisseur originally Virgil's was one man's passion to create the finest root beer ever produced.  After retiring from a very successful career in the beverage industry, Ed Crowly set out to research making his root beer. As a result of his research Ed developed the recipe for Virgil's Root Beer.  Recipe in hand, his search for the finest ingredients took him around the world.  The results are three NASFT awards for Virgil's Root Beer the highest ever for a beverage. When Ed retired, Reed's Inc. took over the company and has added cream sodas, and colas worthy of Ed's pioneering efforts all made naturally without caffeine or preservatives.  Reed’s Inc. was started in 1989 by Chris Reed. His research into the history of sodas found soft drink recipes from before the beginning of the modern soft drinks industry… He found that back in the early log cabin days, the pioneers couldn’t go to the store and buy soft drinks, they brewed their own sodas. They didn’t make them the way modern commercial soft drinks are made, even the so called natural ones. They brewed them in their kitchens, directly from roots, spices and fruits. These early soft drinks, besides being natural and delicious, were also healthy. Many folk used them as herbal tonics." Read more about Reed's Inc. Brews here, http://reedsinc.com/




Just Listen to the fresh ingredients in the Regular Virgils Root Beer; Purified Carbonated Water, Un-bleached Cane Sugar, Anise From Spain, Licorice From France, Vanilla (Bourbon) From Madagascar, Cinnamon From Ceyton, Clove From Indonesia, Wintergreen From China, Sweet Birch From The Southern U.S, Molasses From The U.S., Nutmeg From Indonesia, Pimento Berry Oil from Jamaica, Balsam Oil From Peru, Cassia Oil From China.  

Check out more of Reed's Brews over at www.REEDSInc.com, for more flavors like Spiced Apple, Raspberry, Cherry, Premium, Original, Extra Ginger Brew (Ale.) Then You Have Virgil's Root Beer, Cream Soda, Black Cherry Cream Soda, Orange Cream Soda, Real Cola.  And, the Zero Calorie options of Virgil's, Zero Root Beer, Zero Cream Soda, Zero Black Cherry Cream Soda, and Zero Real Cola. Can't forget the Butterscotch Beer either!

I tried the Crystallized Ginger Candy and it literally melts in your mouth, and has the strongest, tastiest natural ginger flavor ever.  It's soft, and easy to eat which I really enjoyed.  

If you have not tried REED's Sodas, or Virgils you definitely should try them.  I can't help but enjoy a soda with a meal here, and there.  It's one of my guilty pleasures.  Locate a store near you, http://reedsinc.com/store-locator/

I received samples for my opinion.  All images are my own, and I completely agree with natural ingredients are the way to go! Thank you Reed's Inc. for making a fantastic product.

What's for Dinner? Gluten Free Eggplant Parm Extremely Low Carb #Fried #Eggplant #PorkRind #Breading #Garlic #Powder #Salt #Pepper #Foodie #Love #GuessWhoseMakingEggplant #Parmesan




I absolutely love Pastas, and this was a great substitute for it. I breaded the eggplant with Crushed Pork Rinds ( The pork rinds have enough salt, so I didnt add any salt in with the other seasonings,) added Garlic Powder, Pepper, and Italian Seasoning to the Pork Rind Mix before dipping the Eggplant slices into Egg, and then into the Rind Mix, I did this just once, but it was easy to pack onto. Also having a pan of Olive Oil just 1/2 thick, and already warm/hot is Key to frying these up, and keeping the Mixture on for an evenly brown. I did a layer of Egg plant, a layer of ground meat, sauce, layer of eggplant, layer of black olives, and a layer of Cheese. It's one of my favorite meals.

Happy 5th Birthday to My Love #AutisticKidsRock #Carnival #Birthdays


My baby boy turned 5 this month.  I can't believe it.  I wanted to have games at the party that he could participate in since he never gets to do things like that at others parties.  You'd be surprised at how much he's left out of.  I never want to do that to him, so I make sure on his day, we do things he can do.  So I gave Sy a carnival themed Birthday.  We did one of his favorite sensory things, water play, but as the Carnival Duck Pond game.


There also was a couple Stick the sticker on the Poster kind of games, like a Pin the Tail on the Donkey.  Every kid was a winner.   We blew up a lot of Punch balls, and balloons to throw around. We blew up inflatable swords, and animals for Carnival Prizes as well.  Sy had so much fun, and I could tell in his eyes, and his smile that he was enjoying himself.  He doesn't talk, but his eye's said it all for me.  He was happy, the moment that cake came out for him, he was  so happy.


If you want a few ideas for a Toddlers Birthday Party, have a Carnival Themed Party.  I even found a face-cut out Banner for Photo Ops.  The personalized Banner I painted myself that Says Happy Birthday Sy (The Poster Board Cost $1.00), while the red/white table cloth, and Face Cut out Banner was under $10.00.  I also found Red/White Popcorn Bowls to use for the Food Table at the Dollar Store as well.


My nieces dubbed it Best Birthday Ever.  If you have no idea what to do for your Toddlers next Birthday, do their favorite TV Character/Carnival Theme for Prizes.




Guitar Hero Live #Review #HolidayGiftGuide #HGG #Spon




Looking for a fun video game to play together? Check out Guitar Hero LIVE,  make sure it's the Bundle with Two Guitars.


What made me find this game more fun, was how interactive the music, and crowd was, with the songs being played.  I found it a lot different the past Guitar Heroes. The music is more Vast, and I do like a lot of different genres.



Which isn't a bad thing, It's more challenging now,  Even the tutorial, from the moment you turn the game on, felt more like Expert, which made it fun, and challenging. I like a good competition among friends, and this, has it. It felt more real, like the Tech was actually talking to me, instead of just Cartoony-ish Characters.  Even the Crowds cheering you on (just don't make them Boo you off the stage) feels real.


This is a sponsored Post.  Guitar Hero Live is a music video game developed by FreeStyleGames and published by Activision for Wii U, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One & Apple TV. Guitar Hero Live is Rated T (for Teen+.)

A Parents Formula For Happiness. Free Certified Sleep Consultant! #FormulaForHappiness #Ad


When I found out I was going to have a baby, all I wanted was a healthy, happy mini me.  I would say a lot has changed after having him, as in just a stronger will to make sure he is developing while being healthy, happy and everything else.  There are still nights that I have many questions, and just need that reassurance and suggestions on what works for other babies too.   Happiness can be a peace of mind, and accepting help from others.  I needed help with maintaining a bedtime routine without feeling judged on Nutrition Consultant, Breastfeeding Support, and Sleep Support,


Gerber® Good Start® Gentle believes that the Formula for Happiness™ can be a lot of things, and moms have different ways of enjoying the journey through motherhood. That journey isn't always perfect, but getting support every step of the way helps. That is why Gerber® Good Start® Gentle is happy to introduce a Certified Sleep Consultant to support expectant and new parents by providing free, personal 1-on-1 baby sleep consultations.


I went to the website, and requested a time/date for the Certified Sleep Consultant to call me.  I like that an Email was sent while making the appointment, and reminders.  The website is easy to navigate, and all I did was click the day I wanted to reserve my appointment.  When Christina called, she was very polite, informative, and asked me questions about my Son.  Some of my fears, and what others mothers told me to do, she helped me find a better alternative than sleep aides.  I like that Christina was friendly, and easy to talk to.  I started a routine with my son that is easy to follow, and he's bathed, and in bed around 8pm, no matter what.  Routine, and a healthy sleep schedule is everything.  I'm still learning, but I feel better that we all are on a schedule that is easy to follow. My favorite time to spend with my son now is taking him new places, and to the park,  the swing,  bath time, and reading to him before bed.  We do this everyday, and I love it.  His happiness means everything to me.

Make your free appointment to have A Certified Consultant to call you. Gerber Start Healthy, Stay Healthy even has Pre-Natal Consultants that can help answer any questions too, Check all the free Services offered by going here to Gerber Experts, http://www.gerber.com/experts.
