Spellbinders Review

This is the first of the last sponsored reviews I have. Yes, it is sponsored, meaning I received these products for free. This does not affect my opinion at all and the opinions expressed below are 100% honest and my own. Now, let's get started.
I received two little kits for two different projects from Spellbinders for this review that feature their new Celebrations collection. One kit was for a little card and the other for a treat bag. However, Spellbinders doesn't sell these kits. They actually only sell most of the supplies used to make these projects. Therefore, this review will be mostly about what I thought of the materials rather than anything on, for example, the ease of the instructions I received for the kits.
I thought that the materials included & sold by Spellbinders were of good quality. The card stock was pretty heavy & durable and the textures made by die templates were well imprinted into the paper. The patterned paper (polka-dotted paper) had two different sides with different patterns on each side and the colors printed onto the paper to create the pattern were bright, bold, and really popped.
The other side of the polka-dotted paper
The tags were made using their card stock, one of their stamps, and their ink. I found that the stamped on words and designs tended to have a lighter, less bold quality when the ink is of a lighter shade. What I mean by that is that the ink leaves behind more blank, no-ink bits on the paper when the ink is orange (a lighter shade) than when it is purple (a darker shade). I'm not sure if this is because of the ink itself or if the stamps simply needed another coat of the lighter inks, but it's an observation I made. All the other various embellishments (e.g. sequins, string, etc.) also seem well made. Overall, I think their products are a crafter's dream. They sell various supplies that could be used to make crafts better and prettier than ever before. However, I'd just be careful with the lighter inks. There should be no problem and it could just be that whoever printed it didn't use enough ink on the stamp, but just take a note of what I observed when you buy from Spellbinders.

Now for a little something else.
The kits I received allowed me to make these:
I scanned the instructions for the crafts (Note: I did not think up these crafts myself. I believe they are the property of Spellbinders.) & they include a shopping list for the supplies needed for the crafts if you'd like to make them. Here they are below:
 


So, that's it for this review. Thank you for reading and I'll see you all next time!

Snikiddy Snacks Review

Hi everyone! Welcome to another sponsored review. This time, I'm going to be reviewing Snikiddy Snacks.
The first thing I want to say is that I received a coupon that allowed me to get 2 bags for free in exchange for a blog review. Nevertheless, my opinions are 100% honest and my own. Your opinions may differ from mine. We all have different tastes, so it's going to happen. I was under no obligation to write a positive review and I definitely wouldn't accept something that required me to.

Now that we've established that, let's get started.

About the company:
Snikiddy Logo
Snikiddy was founded by Mary Schulman and her mother in 2006. It is a company that makes healthier, more wholesome snacks for everyone out there. The name is a shortened version of the word persnickety, meaning picky, since growing up, Mary's mom & her siblings were known as the Snikiddy kids because they had healthy lunches. Because of these lunches, a teacher once called them persnickety and the kids simplified it into snikiddy, which stuck.
You can find some more information here.

Kidfresh Chicken Nuggets Review & Giveaway!

Hi everyone! Welcome to another review. Yes, this is sponsored. I know, I know. We've been doing a lot of sponsored posts lately and we have still some more lined up,  but we will be doing other non-sponsored reviews in the future. I promise.
I'm just wondering what we should review in our next non-sponsored review. What do you think? What would you like to see us review? I have no problem going out to buy it as long as it isn't ridiculously expensive :). Leave us a comment below letting us know! By the way, we do read every comment. We may not respond to all of them, but I promise that we read them all.
Anyway, back to the review at hand. It is sponsored. Meaning, I received this product for free in exchange for a review. However, all the opinions expressed below are 100% mine and completely honest. I was under no obligation to write a positive review and I wouldn't accept a job that would require me to.
Now, let's start.

First, a little about Kidfresh foods. Kidfresh foods is a line made for busy parents. If you are anything like me (working from about 6 AM/when I leave home to about 7 PM/when I get back), you probably know that there are times when you might need a little help for dinner, which usually comes in the form of pre-packaged foods. Yes, I know! Pre-packaged foods. Filled with preservatives, un-nutritional ingredients, and more. I don't like letting my children eat it, but at the same time, I don't have a whole lot of time to cook. Which is why I'm so happy that I found Kidfresh foods. They are definitely better than some other frozen foods I've seen.

Kidfresh foods:
~Are 100% natural
~Have hidden veggies in every meal (up to 1/2 cup)
~Have less sodium, calories, and fat
~Are great tasting
~Come in a BPA free tray & green packaging
~Have no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
You can find more information on that here.

Now, my actual review.

Saratoga Peanut Butter Co. 'Chillin' Chocolate' PB Review

Hey everyone! Welcome to another review!
No, this is not a sponsored review. I've been doing a lot of those lately, but I wanted to review something else. I wasn't even thinking about reviewing this when I bought it at the grocery store, but after I tasted it, I decided to go ahead and review it. So, here it is.

A Little Background Info

First, I'll tell you a little about the company, as usual. In Saratoga Springs, NY, 2005, a plan was created to make a peanut butter that would be absolutely delicious, and yet retain its nutrition. From this plan, the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company was born. They use whole ingredients and make their peanut butter in small batches to control quality and freshness. If you would like to learn more about them, go ahead and check out their website here.
