C&H Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar Review

I was excited to be selected to sample and try the C&H Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar with Crowdtap because I wanted to see what made it better than regular sugar with a spoon. I got two of the C&H Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar containers for free in the mail to sample and review. I opened up my first container and put it to the test in some of my herbal tea. I was a bit sad that I could hear clumps of sugar when I shook the containers and thought the clumps would make it not pour out or even dissolve. I was wrong, the clumps didn't affect anything and dissolved quickly into my tea. I then thought that at the bottom of my mug there would be sugar residue, nope nothing was left of the sugar. It seriously dissolved on contact of the tea. I was impressed by the product and left it out for my family to use and me. I didn't know until I saw my daughter pouring sugar into her cereal that she was using it. Normally at the bottom of the bowl there's left over sugar so I knew my daughter was using it, but not with C&H Quick Dissolve Superfine Sugar, no evidence left. The top of the containers make it easy to pour as well. I like this sugar and will purchase more when I need to. The statements made in my blog are 100% my honest opinion. 

Views

I was applying for something to get to review for free and one of the questions was, "how many page views in the last month did you have on your blog?" I came and checked and saw over 700 page views in a month, I do not ever really having that many views in the years I've been posting on my blog. So Thank You readers/viewers for checking my blog for updates and reviews. I would do a giveaway to say thank you as I know that is what most bloggers do and I enjoy giveaways myself, however I wouldn't know where to start or what to giveaway. If you want a giveaway, comment below with an idea of what you would want to win and I'll consider it. Another thing is I only have 5 subscribers, it would help my chances at reviewing products for free if you read my blog if you would subscribe. I appreciate you all for sticking around and checking out for updates of things to do and also for reviews of different products I get to try and test for free.

Motts Tots Organic Apple Juice Review

Awhile back I got some coupons to redeem for a free Mots for tots organic apple juice only sold at Target. I redeem them and had my reusable bag that was also in my smiley360 package. I had one container as an option when I had another brand sponsored party. I tried it and I was surprised as it tasted like biting into an apple. I was not expecting that flavor as competitor brands have a sugary taste with the apple flavor. My children enjoy drinking it, but miss the sugary taste of the competitors. I'm not sure if I will buy more or not after my samples are gone since I do not do my grocery shopping at Target very often. I do recommend Motts for Tots Organic Apple juice if you want it and shop at Target.   #mottsfortotsorganic@target @motts @mysmiley360 #freesample

More last minute free events

So I was driving on the freeway and noticed a billboard saying Free, which caught my eye so I glanced quickly and saw what was free and where. I did my double check on the website of the place and it was confirmed. The M Resort has free Dive-in Movies and their first one is June 8th and it is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The doors open at 8 PM. Their next free event night is June 10th and that is called Beers, Gears, and Bikinis Car Show. They also offer free admission to locals with their local ID.
http://www.themresort.com/entertainment/pool

I also found out after my last blog post that this Saturday and Sunday Springs Preserve is having free admission day to celebrate their birthday.

Places to stay cool

I know I try to utilize this blog as an informational blog for inexpensive/free things to do in the Las Vegas Valley and some things are nationwide, but I feel the need to also inform the readers of other options that I come by even though they might cost more. I do feel the local libraries and recreation centers are awesome places to spend time all year long, I know it can be difficult to keep track of the events happening at them and registering for the events in time. There are summer camps available at different churches and facilities, those are not easy to find as there are many organizations in this diverse valley. In no particular order (mainly in the order I find them) here is a list and links:

Mom Meet group sampling of Melt Probiotic Spread

I was given the opportunity to sample with a group of moms Melt Probiotic Spread. I found it at Sprouts Farmer's Market. We tried it on some yummy muffins, whole grain bread, and a baguette. The muffins' flavors over powered the spreads flavor, not that there is one, but it was great to spread onto the crumbly muffins. It was easy to spread and is a great alternative to butter. Everyone that tried it liked it, even the kids. I don't go to Sprouts often so I can't say I'd buy it instead of the butter I buy now because it's not offered where I usually shop. If it was sold where I usually shop I would consider purchasing it instead of what I currently buy. This is some of us trying it.

Spintales Storytime Rug

In April I had the chance to try out a new product from the company SpinTales. They have a rug that is in a jungle setting and a duvet that is a castle setting. Along with those products there is an app that allows parts of the rug or duvet (depending on what you have) interact with the user. It is a fun rug and the stories on the app are cute, the main pitfall is the app and the rug doesn't always sync together. To activate the app you have to match a picture on the rug. We would match the picture on the app to the spot on the rug and the interaction did not always work. That can be frustrating as a parent reading the story and even more frustrating for a child trying to read it themselves. The app does not cost any extra which is good, but the cost of the product one would expect the app to work with the pictures every time and not at just the right angle and zoom. We tried it with different devices thinking that could have been the issue, but it wasn't. I am still going to use the rug and app and it will be part of a story time at an indoor play place. I am hoping the children will enjoy it as much as the children that got to see it at the party did. Below are the pictures of the children on the rug and the families taking pictures of the kids playing on it. #SpintalesStorytimeRug #Tryazon #Gotitfree

Kaskey Kids Figures

In February I hosted a party for a major sporting event. For that event I was chosen to host a Kaskey Kids party from Trayzon. I know it's May now at that was months ago, I wanted to post sooner, however my computer bit the bullet and still needs to be fixed. I'm using my husband's for now and it took me that long to get used to it. I got a lot of figures to put out as decorations and have the children play with. My children aged 4-14 all enjoyed playing with the figures. The only thing  my children missed with the figures is a loose football. I put the figures on my 7 layer dip and a cake. Those that came to the party got to take home their own box that had either 1 or a surprise of 2 figures. I did get the figures free to use and write a review. I'm not sure I would buy these products on their own unless they were requested by someone to use as a decoration. Below are the pictures of how we used them and the group at the party. #Trayzon #KaskeyKids
