Go Sugar Free With @butterflybakery

Did you know November is National American Diabetes Month. It is a time to raise awareness of diabetes prevention and control. In the United States, more than 25 million people are living with diabetes and 79 million more are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.Diabetes is a challenging disease that affects the entire family in many ways.

This challenge led Brenda Isaac  to create sugar free baked goods that her diabetic mother could enjoy. In 1998 The Butterfly Bakery emerged.

About the Bakery

Live deliciously with Butterfly Bakery. Our SUGAR FREE, NO SUGAR ADDED and GLUTEN FREE baked goods will turn your dietary restriction into a dietary indulgence.

 Their Mission
Butterfly Bakery brings the joy back into eating baked goods with goodies that taste good without being bad.

~I received one or more of the products mentioned  for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

 With two parents that are diabetic I understand the struggle  Ms.Isaac faced-

  but am not a good enough baker to create something on my own, luckily for me

 the Butterfly Bakery is here so I can just buy them fresh tasting  goodies!

 Sugar free eaters, calorie counters, gluten intolerance and once you taste the rich you'll 

be hooked! I received the Angel food Cake  and Chocolate Chip loaf cake. I gave some

 to both my parents among others and they were pleasantly surprised at the taste-Cakes

 were very moist. My Mom had one tiny complaint-There wasn't enough chips for her in

 the loaf. LOL Want to limit you kids sugar intake - they will love these as a treat!

Miss Molly LOVED it-Plate say's  it all YUM!!!!

  

 No Sugar Added they use  freshest fruit nectars to sweeten and a  milk based lactitol, for

 a rich and creamy taste with no digestive side effects. For Gluten Free they use whole

 grain Teff flour.

Naturally sweet, light and moist, full of potassium and fiber. What makes their cakes

muffins, cupcakes and cookies so good? It’s love, baked right in!

You can shop on line-check out the site here the set up is beautiful!

 Butterfly Bakery products can be found in many supermarkets and specialty stores nationwide. 

I found a sweet set up at my local grocery =D

"Let's Talk BUMS" @Cottonelle #crowdtap

I'm sure many of you have seen the commercials with Cherry talking with people about keeping their bums clean--this woman is what Flo has been to Insurance she it for the adult bum wipe.

I had a chance to be a mini Cherry to some friends and family thanks to crowdtap. While the first few times I started asking I'd just get giggles once I challenged them to try out the routine of wet and dry together for them selves they were impressed. The wipes are durable and who doesn't want to be fresher and cleaner,  try these and see if you like them!
I love now they are packed for on the go to!

saw this on a fellow crowdtappers pinterest board and it gave me a chuckle!!!!

@MySendOutCards Greeting Card Site~~ REVIEW~~

We all know it’s fun to receive a special greeting card in the mail. A gesture that is getting lost in the digital age we are in, who has time these days to shop for one and then take it to the post office?

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. 

 SendOutCards is the new way to let you use the ease of sending a card via the internet, but create a real card and have it arrive in the U.S. Mail.

  If you lead a Girl Scout troop, coach soccer, or are involved in any other organization, you can  upload a photo of your “group”   and send personalized cards to everyone!

For this review I did a single card so I'm only reporting on that I don't have experience using the group send out method.

Navagation of the website was easy and there was a help chat person to walk you through. I found a card under expressions of love-to have sent to my Hubby.
I like that there are hundreds of options and you can pick a postcard, 2 panel, 3 panel or even a BIG card


 I chose the 2 panel card; within the week the card had arrived.

I found the card print quality to be quite good and the prices are  fairly reasonable.

Halloween FUN School Fall Feast

Every year the  kids school's put on a wonderfully  frightful 
Pumpkin Feast.
They have an assortment of activities and food here's a glimps
at some of the fun:

I think the kids are a little "over" the Haunted Gym-but they ran through it  about 30 times. The pumpkins they painted were fun...ofcourse I  didn't think to put a paint seal on them and we putthem out on the porch- rained that night and washed them clean!!
The Spooky Feely Boxes gave me the biggest laugh---my "brave" hubby.

@So_Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Frozen Desserts with @MomsMeet

Are you searching for a better dessert for your family? Look no further! So Delicious Dairy Free Coconut Milk Frozen Desserts are 100% plant-based, dairy-free, and are Non-GMO Project verified and contain no artificial sweeteners or trans fats. 

 I've reviewed So Delicious milk (HERE) with MomsMeet  so I was uber excited to try out a few more goodies from their line. I'm always looking for a better way to eat  and still have my family speaking to me =)

my daughter giving it a try before the party--thumbs up from her

During the party we talked about all the benefits  of SoDelicious products-use only the highest quality ingredients, and employ the most stringent testing, production, and packaging methods. We watched a short video with Drew Brees how over the summer So Delicious  helped raise money for the Brees Dream Foundation. How  great a company that good for you and great to charity.


Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free from Moms Meet  that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

I received a excellent recipe book and we had fun checking out a few ideas to take home and try while sampling a few I had made up a head of time...a Pumpkin Cupcake and Chocolate Pudding using cashew milk--very good...all the cups were gone in a few minutes! 

We of course enjoyed the ice cream right out of the  canister, but we also tried in in our coffee-this got some mixed reactions...the taste was a hit but some thought the consistency of the cashew milk was a little too thin-- So Delicious  does have a Coconut Milk Creamer but it wasn't an item I bought for the party. We blended up a few frozen "milk" shakes as well--I think this was my most favorite item at the party.
During the party the Moms and I put our heads together to find other great ways to enjoy the frozen treat.

ice cream cookie sandwich with  the cookies and cream was a hit!

and the mocha almond over Fig Newmans

 There are many other great So Delicious Products

 to introduce to the family, ice-cream
,
 yogurt, and a wide  assortment of other "milk" beverages. You are sure to 

find one to incorporate into your meals.
