Red Brick Candle LOFT No. 1 Review

One of our favorite ways to add scent to our home is through Candles. They smell great and really add a pretty glow to the room. Makes it feel cozy and warm. 

This is the first time we have have ever had a Red Brick Candle and I am so glad we made the leap. It came beautifully packaged, and even included a little box of match sticks. Awesome. I have never seen another candle company do this before.  And the scent is wonderful. Warm Maple and Rich Vanilla.

Once I took my pictures I had to light it up right away and take another photo. The smell was even more wonderful once lit. The glow is just as beautiful as other candles but the smell is very memorable I am pretty sure I found a new favorite candle scent. I used this in my kitchen the first time but I believe this will be moving to my bathroom so when I take my bath I have a really nice candle there with me. 

I want to try #2 which is a Spicy Cinnamon Bark with Hints of Orange Zest, Clove, and Nutmeg next.

Bobee Momma & Baby Elephant Decals Review

Are you looking for a fun way to decorate your walls that won't break the bank, then look no further wall Decals are popping up everywhere. Do you rent and have to careful what you put on the walls, then decals are the way to go, when you move you just peel them off. We have never had a problem removing ours and we have use different Decals from different companies since our first child was born way back in 1990. 

The Bobee company has several different decals to choose from, this time I received the Bobee Momma & Baby Elephant Decals set. These are great for a nursery, Safari themed bedroom, bathroom, or even a playroom. 

The Bobee company even has personalized name decals, think children's bedroom doors or over their bed, toybox, or dresser. Great for diving up a shared bedroom, and making each space the child's very own. The decals are super easy to put on, and re-positioning is easy to. 

You can purchase the Elephant Wall Decal Stickers: Five Decals in Three Sizes Included Per Package on Amazon. They come in Grey which I have, Pink, Purple, and Blue.

What Bobee has to say about their product. 

Vinyl wall decals take only minutes to install without the mess of time-consuming home projects like painting or installing wallpaper. The Bobee elephants are cute and fun for your nursery, boys or girls room, family room and more!

Dinner in Marksville

Hello everyone, had a rough night last night with Dorothy being ill, I stayed up all night with her, and then today I had my two grand daughters on top of having both Dorothy and Deanna home. Deanna is now sick and sleeping on the couch across from me.

I have been trying dinners out that can be frozen ahead of time but don't want to go and freeze four of something and find out no one likes it. Last nights dish was a success you can read about it here. Tonight we had Swiss Cheese Chicken but as you know I often change up the recipe to accommodate our family so the original is in black and ours is in red if it is changed.

INGREDIENTS:
4 Chicken Breasts (or enough to fill pan) we used 3 large breasts our store which is IGA has the best chicken that I have had since we raised our own chickens when I was growing up. 
6 Slices Swiss Cheese I used 8 slices of American Cheese it is all we had.
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup
¼ cup milk 1/2 cup of milk
Stove Top Turkey Stuffing (about ½ box) Whole Box for us
¼ c butter
DIRECTIONS:
Cover bottom of pan with chicken.
Lay Swiss Cheese over chicken. we used american
Mix 1 can cream of chicken soup and ¼ cup milk. we used 1/2 cup of milk
Pour mixture over chicken.
Top with ½ bag (or more) of Stove Top Turkey Stuffing. we used a whole box 
Drizzle ¼ cup butter on top.
Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes.
Serve over rice.  We served ours along side long grain rice and mixed vegetable blend of broccoli, cauliflower and corn.

What our family thought about this dish. Another winner for the freezer meals. We talked about ways to change it up. My husband says when we freeze ours we are going to change up the mixture each time. One we are going to try is adding Ham before Swiss Cheese, Mushroom soup, then the rest of the ingredients to make a kind of Chicken Cordon Blue dish. You can do so many things with this recipe. Sorry I didn't snap a photo but if you follow the link above you will see how great it looks when it comes out of the oven. Super easy and yummy for your tummy.

IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality Review

One of the things I like best about  being a blogger is being able to review items and then come back here and tell my readers about  the products. The MUV armband that I have right now fits my daughter iPod 5 touch perfectly without it's case. My daughter does not like having to take her iPod out of it's case so that is the only downfall we saw, but she does like being able to run on the tred mill without having to worry about her iPod. 

Of course this will come in handy in the warmer months as well as she runs the trails with her sisters too. Finally they all have their own except for Dorothy. I haven't seen any made for little kids yet. 

You can purchase the Muv IPhone 5 Armband - Pro Athlete Quality on Amazon.
