My Little Cupcake Cake Pop Mold Review & Giveaway...

"SO STINKIN' CUTE!!!"
That was my very first thought when I came across

www.MyLittleCupcakePop.com

That "first thought" was quickly followed by,
"I MUST-HAVE ONE!!!"

  I sort of stumbled upon the website while planning

Bresden's 1st Birthday Party &

Fell In Love With

My Little Cupcake....

What Is This Thing That I am So Excited About?

My Little Cupcake is a mold to make
uniformly sized & shaped

"no bake" mini cupcake pops.
How Fun!
I Know, Right?
Since I worked at a cupcake shop before my little guy was born
I am a Total "Sucker" (pun intended) For All Things Cupcake.

I had not really thought of doing cupcake pops for my son's party

(okay, maybe for like a brief moment before deciding that they would be too much of a hassle).

But that was before I came across the

My Little Cupcake

Cake POP Mold

&

After watching the
Adorable Instructional Video
featuring
The Owner's Kiddos
(below)  

I just knew that I had to make some!
And as they say,
" Making Pops is a Piece Of Cake."

It Really Was So Easy
&
So Much Fun!

 Grinding Up The Oreos, Mixing Up The Dough, Dipping & Decorating Them....
Eating Them Too!
Every bit of it was fun &  easy. 
My Little Cupcake offers Tips, Tricks & Troubleshooting just in case though.

In the video (above) they recommend using an item that you probably have in your home already ( I am not going to say what that item is because if you watch the video & comment what it is you will get an additional giveaway entry) but
I just thought that I would share a tip of my own....

I used a mini cupcake pan to let the bottoms of my pops dry & it worked great.
They also offer cute little Pop Holders on their site that you may be interested in.

The Pop Holders would be especially nice if you are planning to let your guests make their own pops at your party.

I know that once you have one of these molds you are going to be looking for any excuse that you can to use it...
I know I am!
I can think of plenty! In fact here is one that I'll share
(it doesn't actually apply to me yet, since my little guy isn't quite school-age yet)....

Apples Are So Last Year!
If You Want Your Kids To Make A Good Impression On Their Teacher
Send Them To School With Cupcake Pops Instead!!!

I'm sure that you are anxious to get one of these cute little molds, right?

 I will totally understand if you cut me off right here to go order one!

I will even make it easy for you...

Here is a link to Amazon

or if you would prefer you can order directly from

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Soda Stream....

I was beyond excited when a large box arrived from
SodaStream a few weeks before our son's party
 (he was pretty excited about the big box too).

I couldn't wait to unpack our new SodaStream Soda Maker (sent free of charge for this review) & try it out.... but more than that I was excited to suprise our friends and family with it!

Finally, we would be able to offer our guests
more beverage choices
 than just, "Milk or Water."

Our friends & family will tell you that they got in the habit of bringing along their own sodas when they would come over because we rarely had more than just milk or water to offer them to drink.

But with the arrival of SodaStream those days are over.

Now we have WAY MORE CHOICES than just milk or water!
WAY MORE!!!

Why Is It A Must-Have?
{Even For Someone Who Didn't Have Soda In Their House On A Regular Basis Before}

VALUE

It is not that we don't like soda...
we just aren't your everyday soda drinkers
(although I drink a lot more soda now than I ever did before).

Whenever we did buy soda...We ended up throwing most of it away because it would go flat before we could drink it all.
Now we can just
make as little or as much as we want.

No More Flat, Wasted Soda.

Just 25 Cents (Or Less) Per Can Of Soda.
(I just purchased SodaMix on sale at JCPenney that I think makes it closer to 15 cents a can)

No More Bottle Deposits.
(Like in California, where we had to pay CRV)

TASTE & NUTRITION

I know that some people have a specific kind of soda that they always drink but then there are people like me who don't like drinking the same thing all the time....SodaStream gives me the freedom to mix things up.

Over 30 Flavors To Choose From.
So I'll never get tired of drinking the same ol' thing & they are sure to have something to have everyone's favorites.

It's Better For You.

Regular Flavors Contain No High-Fructose Corn Syrup.

Diet Flavors Are Sweetened With Splenda® Brand Sweetener, Not Aspartame.

See How SodaStream Compares To National Brands

CONVENIENCE

Fresh Soft Drinks In Seconds... Without Lugging Or Storage Hassles!
There is no way that we could store so many different flavors of store-bought soda .
Not to mention, having it chilled & ready to drink at a moments notice.
Each bottle of concentrated SodaMix contains enough syrup to make about 12 liters or 33 cans of fresh, delicious soda. These little bottles hardly take up any space in our pantry & because you use cold water to make your SodaStream sodas you don't have to worry about soda taking up space in the fridge either.  We just use the cold water right out of our refrigerator dispenser.

Just carrying in one little bottle is much more appealing than the thought of lugging 12 liters or 33 cans of soda into the house...especially because I am usually using one arm to lug my one-year old into the house.

Order Supplies Online or Buy At Local Retailers.
(Stores that you already shop at)

It's As Easy As Making A Cup Of Coffee & SodaStream Will Fit Right In With Your Other Kitchen Appliances.

ENVIRONMENT

Less Packaging Waste From Cans And Bottles.

Less Pollution Caused By Transport Of Bottled Beverages.

No Batteries or ElectricityNeeded.

So....

As You Can See

SodaStream Is A Must-Have For Pretty Much Everyone!

LOVE AT FIRST BITE...Baby Mum-Mum Review & Giveaway...

As our little guy begins the transition to self-feeding it has been a struggle to find things that he can actually feed himself

without gagging & choking. 

Poor Guy, he wants to eat real food so bad but he has a

super sensitive gag reflex. 

In fact, we actually have an appointment with his pediatrician for a swallow study just to be sure that there is nothing medically wrong.  

We started out our self-feeding attempts by trying the popular star-shaped "puffs" that so many parents swear by (because they are made to dissolve quickly)....but our little guy even choked on those. 

So when we found

Mum-Mums...

It Was

LOVE AT FIRST BITE!

They were the first thing that our little guy was 

able to feed himself without choking &

HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES THEM!

In fact, he just got up from a nap and is enjoying one on my lap as I am typing this because he saw the box out and just had to have one.

What Are Mum-Mums & Why Are They A Must-Have?

Mum-Mums are rice rusks

made from specially selected fine quality rice

with no artificial colors or flavors & no preservatives.

I love when all the ingredients listed on a package are words that you can pronounce!

These tasty baked snacks are gluten, egg, & peanut free.  Mum-Mums are a quick dissolving, perfect "first snack" for your little one!

Apparently rice rusks have been a part of baby's diet throughout Asia for over a century...

Lucky for us they are now available in North America.

Each serving (of 2 rusks) is individually packaged for convenience and freshness....making them perfect for carrying in your diaper bag or purse.

They aren't messy either so you don't have to be concerned about that. 

I even give them to our son to snack on during church.

Why Have You Never Seen Or Heard Of Them Before?

They have probably been right there in front of you &

you may have just overlooked them.

Chances are,

your local store probably carries Mum-Mums. 

They are right there with the other infant & toddler snack items.

Be sure to look for them next time you are at the store or you can visit

 www.MumMums.com

to find a retailer near you.

Since discovering Mum-Mums we have been so excited to share them with everyone we know.  We even included them in the treat buffet at our son's 1st Birthday Party (look for a post with all the details of his party coming soon).  Even the adult's at the party wanted to give them a try!

So We Are Especially Excited To Share

I Know What Your Thinking....

You're thinking, "Where Have You Been?" 

I Know, Right?!? 

Well You Can Call Off The Search Party

{Assuming That You Even Noticed I Was Missing}....

I'm Back!

I apologize that I haven't posted in such a long time.  I am glad that you didn't give up on me!

 I Have Just Been Super Busy...

My time has been consumed by planning & hosting Bresden's 1st Birthday Party (which I will be sharing all the details of soon), making a wedding cake and 18 dozen cupcakes for a friend's wedding (maybe I'll share a photo of that too), trying to get my house back to normal after all the festivities & baking, catching up on housework, laundry (I won't be sharing any photos of my messy house or piles of laundry though) and babyfood making, etc.....and when I wasn't doing all of that I was chasing around our little guy who is now walking or should I say running & getting into everything. I should also mention that he has been teething (has cut like 4 new teeth) which has required a little bit more time and attention from me.  In the meantime, I have also been busy finding & trying out lots of great products that I am excited to share with you in the next few days. 

So please stay tuned for lots of exciting reviews, giveaways & a glimpse of what I've been up to.....

Coming Your Way Very Soon!

Fresh Baby ~ So Easy Baby Bowl & Divided Dish ~ Reveiw & Giveaway

As parents we sometimes find ourselves doing just the thing

that we said we would never do or not following through with the things that we planned to do.

For example, I said that I would never put my baby in my bed with me...

but here are I am 11 months later, struggling to get my little guy to sleep in his crib.

I am proud to say that I have followed through with one of the things that I planned to do though....

Making My Own Baby Food!

I must say that some people were skeptical when I declared,
 "I am going to make my own baby food."
Not believing that I would actually follow through with it...and I will admit (only now) that I did doubt myself a little too. But I am proud to say that my little guy has never eaten food from a jar, not once, not even when we have been traveling....but I can't really take all of the credit for it. I really could not have done it without

www.FreshBaby.com
