<br />
I was able to test Country Crock thanks to Influentser. The Simple Goodness of this spread was amazing when I made cheese toast.<br />
<br />
Cheese Toast<br />
- Sliced French or Italian bread<br />
- Country Crock<br />
- Cheese<br />
<br />
Spread a light layer of Country Crock on the bread and cover with mozzarella cheese (or the cheese of your liking). Put in a preheated oven to the broil setting. Watch carefully as it only takes a short amount of time to toast.<br />
<br />
**I received a container of Country Crock for testing purposes, all of my opinions are my own.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597720603786850949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806806920001696794.post-85328796700175255122015-06-09T19:22:00.002-05:002015-06-09T19:23:19.363-05:00Cynthia Ruchti’s Summer of Fun $100 Giveaway<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to be chosen to receive a copy of Cynthia Ruchti's book As Waters Gone By. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really enjoyed this book. The topic, the setting, the characters, it all drew me in from the start until the end of this book. It was a hard topic, lots of tough decisions and outcomes, but the way the author wrote about them there was always a helpful discussion around it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I loved the setting of this book. I live in Northern MN, so I have been to Bayfield WI many times. I enjoyed reading about a book set in an area I am very familiar with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I look forward to reading more books by Cynthia Ruchti. </span><br />

His actions ensured she could never be a mother and put him in prison, giving their relationship a court-mandated five-year time-out. On a self-imposed exile to beautiful but remote Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands of Lake Superior, Emmalyn has just a few months left to figure out if and how they can ever be a couple again.<br /><br />Nudged along by the exuberant owner of the Wild Iris Inn and Café, a circle of misfit people in their small town, and a young girl who desperately needs someone to love her, Emmalyn restores an island cottage that could become a home and begins to restore her heart by learning what it means to love unconditionally. Yet even as hope begins to find a place within the cottage walls, Emmalyn still wonders if she's ready for Max's release. She may be able to rebuild a cottage, but can she rebuild a marriage?</span></span><br />

I have been using Purex Crystals for over a year now. I really like the scents they have and how soft they make my clothing feel.<br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to be able to try a new Purex Crystals product. Purex Crystals ScentSpash is an in wash fragrance booster that infuses your clothes with the power of liquid freshness. You can choose how much to add to your washer.<br />
<br />
This comes in three scents: Fresh Spring Waters, Fresh Lavender Blossom, and Fresh Mountain Breeze.<br />
<br />
I tried the Fresh Spring Waters. This offered a liquid freshness to my clothing. I used less than half of a cap full in my load as a I enjoy a subtle scent. This eliminated any laundry odors and left a soft refreshing scent.<br />

I decided to make buffalo chicken taquitos. I had these at another friends house and she had found the recipe on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/178455203958634179/" target="_blank">Pinterest.</a></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were so easy to make. I cooked my chicken in the crockpot, so preparation was very easy! The sauce is spicy, but not super spicy. The kids at the party were able to eat them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used burrito sized tortillas and cut them into thirds. I served them with ranch dressing. I will definitely be making these again!</span><br />

I haven't met the goal yet, but each year I have been impressed with the number of books that I have read. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like keeping a list of the books I have read. I read so much, I tend to forget the names of the books, but remember the stories. I've also had friends ask me about a book from a few years ago and I've been able to find the name and author by looking at my list. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I read a total of 39 books!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm excited to start my new list for 2014. I've already started the second book in the trilogy by Jodi Ellen Malpas. </span>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597720603786850949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806806920001696794.post-14387197848954304232013-12-24T12:51:00.000-06:002013-12-24T12:51:39.346-06:00Holiday Potpourri<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I needed a quick little gift to make for my co-workers. Last year I received one of these from a friend and loved it. I refilled the water often and was able to use it for weeks!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea came from <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/178455203956155894/" target="_blank">Pinterest.</a> </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMLmNv9TyxdJBa6rsoRbgRIqZoDgRfMGGPOpVuZ9AQ8jO0nPwtoB7glyFR7z8dzMU1ImfcCbLQcYNoHj44v5wWRg9xMgtKtyOZB3SHL0ZaSlgpF6hVkLsLPRxzi9uJHsF1fBAN-VZXIuO/s1600/13+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMLmNv9TyxdJBa6rsoRbgRIqZoDgRfMGGPOpVuZ9AQ8jO0nPwtoB7glyFR7z8dzMU1ImfcCbLQcYNoHj44v5wWRg9xMgtKtyOZB3SHL0ZaSlgpF6hVkLsLPRxzi9uJHsF1fBAN-VZXIuO/s320/13+-+1" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each bag includes:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One orange</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 cup cranberries</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 cinnamon sticks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon whole cloves</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A bit of grated nutmeg</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I found the best deal on cinnamon sticks was to buy them by weight from our local natural harvest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Instructions: Quarter the orange, place all in a small saucepan filled with water and simmer on lowest setting. Refill water as needed. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I tied a homemade tag to each bag with red ribbon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My co-workers absolutely loved these! I have extras, so I think I'm going to give some of these to my friends too.</span><br />

Somedays it seems like she was just born.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Addison is really into Monster High this year and that is the theme she wanted. I lucked out and earlier this fall Target had Monster High products in their dollar spot! We picked up Monster High, notebooks, markers, stickers, and tattoos for the gift bags. After Halloween I also picked up a package of eye patches and some glow in the dark mice (for the boys invited to the party), and a giant bag of candy. I also added a balloon and a Go-Go squeeze apple sauce.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I decided to make a Monster High doll cake. One of my friends had a doll cake pan that I borrowed and I found this design on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/178455203958140100/" target="_blank">Pinterest.</a> I used the Duff tye dye cake mix, which was really good. The colors were amazing! </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYrVmREJw4U15KXuIJYxfwTdtgAZ6_nMvwY1YgkBjYzj8018YZ6t0QJ3mB_37wim7w0hJMA6e6LoVXn2zYurriV-Lrr8H5vU65hd55hVP0hHt_IhtYFSTlyYr0WiAbVgdReGXB98z3uiK/s1600/13+-+9" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYrVmREJw4U15KXuIJYxfwTdtgAZ6_nMvwY1YgkBjYzj8018YZ6t0QJ3mB_37wim7w0hJMA6e6LoVXn2zYurriV-Lrr8H5vU65hd55hVP0hHt_IhtYFSTlyYr0WiAbVgdReGXB98z3uiK/s320/13+-+9" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love how the cake turned out, however, the doll cake pan was not tall enough for the Monster High doll. I ended up making a 8x8 square cake that I put under the doll pan and trimmed the edges. Even with that, it wasn't tall enough! I used the trimmed edges on top of the doll pan and secured them with tooth picks and it turned out great.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also made 36 cupcakes. Some of them I used around the cake during the party, and the rest of them she brought to daycare for a birthday treat there. I found a free <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/178455203958388946/" target="_blank">printable</a> for cupcake toppers, which I just printed out and taped two matching ones to a toothpick.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had the party at our local gymnastics gym, where Addison belongs. I loved having the party there, it was probably the least stressful party I've ever thrown. It was two hours long, the kids got to run around for the first hour and used the gym equipment. The teacher working also set up an obstacle course for the kids to run through. Then we had cake and ice cream and opened gifts. </span>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597720603786850949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806806920001696794.post-79174360511556405282013-12-09T14:29:00.002-06:002013-12-09T14:29:29.082-06:00Purex & Isotoner Giveaway<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to receive a copy of Todd Johnson's newest book, Critical Reaction. Earlier this year I read his first book, The Deposit Slip, and really enjoyed it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Critical Reaction starts with an explosion at a nuclear power plant. It then leads into the health issues of multiple people involved and a lawsuit brought forward from one individual. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />This book also talks about the struggling relationship of a trial lawyer and his daughter who is also a lawyer. The daughter takes on the lawsuit for her friend and her dad helps with the process. During the process they work out many of their issues that stemmed after their wife/mother passed away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />This book was very suspenseful, which I really enjoy. It kept me wondering what would happen next.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that likes books that are suspenseful or about the law.</span><br />

I've been so busy this month, it's crazy.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Addison started first grade this year. She absolutely loves school, and I am so happy about that. She only has two kids in her class from last year, so she is busy making new friends.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She brings home reading homework about three times a week. They have these little readers that they have to read three times and then I sign off saying she did the work. She has also started spelling and has weekly tests.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She loves math, but the math they are doing right now she finds "boring". She wants to be adding and subtracting, and so far they are just doing a recap of numbers, etc. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I put her picture from this year next to her picture from her first day of kindergarten. I knew she had grown a lot over the year, but actually seeing it in a picture made it so real! My little baby is turning into a little girl!</span><br />

I received a box of the Sweet Lavender Scent.</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> These dryer sheets helped with static as well as made my laundry smell great. </span><br />

Our local farmers market had a special on peaches, buy one box and get one free. I ended up with about 4 lbs of peaches for $3.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vKy2AYKoP5A/UfwPhgm6B5I/AAAAAAAACnY/NMm2wLsgYSM/s1600/13+-+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vKy2AYKoP5A/UfwPhgm6B5I/AAAAAAAACnY/NMm2wLsgYSM/s320/13+-+1" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went to the farmers market to get the peaches because I wanted to make peach butter. I made this years ago, and of course could not find the recipe I originally used. I ended up searching online and found one that sounded good. I saved it to <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/178455203957676429/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> for anyone else that wants to try it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started by peeling the peaches. The easiest way I've found to do this, is to drop the peaches in boiling water for 30-45 seconds. Then plunge them in ice water. The peels pretty much fall right off. I then pitted and chopped the peaches. I used a big pot and added the peaches, water, and sugar. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iLIjvMIofLc/UfwPhuFHVWI/AAAAAAAACns/OSJNpn-ULvQ/s1600/13+-+3" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iLIjvMIofLc/UfwPhuFHVWI/AAAAAAAACns/OSJNpn-ULvQ/s320/13+-+3" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After about 20 minutes of cooking, I pureed the peaches in my blender. I did this in three batches. Then you put the puree back into the pot and cook for 30-40 minutes until thick. I ended up with 5 - 1 cup servings. You can can this, but I chose just to use the freezer containers. I kept one for myself and gave four away to lucky friends and family. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favorite way to eat the peach butter is on a toasted English muffin. </span><br />

They are usually ones that need to be used soon, or ones that are too ripe and I freeze for making muffins or bread later.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I saw this <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/178455203957637624/" target="_blank">pin</a> for frozen banana bites and thought they looked interesting. I had everything on hand and thought they sounded like an easy snack. I decided to just use one banana, even though the recipe called for four. I didn't want to use that many in case I didn't like them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They were really easy to make. I sliced the banana into slices that were a little less than an inch thick. I just made sure to have enough slices to make sandwiches. You then spread peanut butter on one slice and cover with another. Freeze the little sandwiches for about an hour. Then dip in chocolate and freeze again.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NbBSAbM2meg/UfwPhhC_0hI/AAAAAAAACn8/BCO6PshfNXQ/s1600/13+-+6" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-NbBSAbM2meg/UfwPhhC_0hI/AAAAAAAACn8/BCO6PshfNXQ/s320/13+-+6" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought of a couple of things while making these that would make them easier. I found the peanut butter kind of hard to spread on the slices. I think freezing the slices for 15 minutes or so might help with that. I would also wait to take the sandwiches out of the freezer until the chocolate was melted. By the time my chocolate melted, one side of the bananas started to thaw and it made it really hard for the chocolate to stick on the last few that I dipped.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can tell the ones where they were thawed just by looking at the picture :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was really surprised with how these tasted. They actually had an ice cream consistency, I felt like I was eating a little mini ice cream sandwich. Addison also really liked these. I will definitely make these again trying my changes.</span>Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17597720603786850949noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3806806920001696794.post-21899255561611039492013-08-07T09:33:00.000-05:002013-08-07T09:33:12.137-05:00You Are My Sunshine<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a Hobby Lobby open up an hour away from us. Addison and I were in that town for some doctor and dentist appointments and decided to check out the store. Of course we couldn't leave empty handed, but I also didn't have a craft in mind before going into the store.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />While browsing, I found a two pack of canvases. I remembered a cute picture I saw on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/178455203957358968/" target="_blank">Pinterest.</a> We quickly picked out paint and some foam brushes so we could make it when we got home. The original pin was just a picture, so I just looked at the paint color to pick out the hues that I liked best. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Addison absolutely loved this project. She was so excited to paint on the large canvas, instead of just paper. She is so goofy sometimes and decided she had to wear her hood from her winter coat while she was painting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We used two different shades of blue and one white acrylic paint for the background. I picked up a four pack of foam brushes, so we would have a separate brush for each color. Once the background was dry, I painted the inside circle of the sun with yellow and orange acrylic paints. Then I painted Addison's hand with the yellow and orange, about half and half. We then pushed down on the canvas around the sun to make the rays. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I then used a pencil to free hand a rough outline of the words. Then I used a paint brush and black acrylic paint to paint over the pencil marks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love how this turned out. I think it is one of my favorite projects we have ever done! I have this hanging at the end of my hallway. It makes me smile every day. </span><br />

I was asked to bring some treats. I searched my 4th of July board on Pinterest and decided to make <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/178455203957461080/" target="_blank">Patriotic Crunch</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This was so easy to make, Addison helped with most of the work! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Patriotic Crunch</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups pretzel sticks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups rice Chex</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 bag plain white popcorn popped. Make sure to take any unpopped kernels out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5-6 blocks almond bark</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sprinkles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">M&Ms</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix the pretzels, Chex, and popcorn on a wax paper lined pan. Melt the almond bark and pour over the mix. Mix well and sprinkle with sprinkles. Once hardened break into pieces and add M&Ms. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next time I make this I think I will add the M&Ms prior to letting the mix harden. Most of them fell to the bottom of the bowl.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to receive a pair of Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles, through BzzAgent, to test. These came at a perfect time as I wear sandals almost every day during the summer. I have loved using these with my healed sandals. They have added extra support in my arches as well as made them more comfortable. </span><br />
