New BakeitFun Baking Mat Blue Review





This is the second time our family has had the pleasure of being able to review a product from bake it fun. You can read my original review here. From my last post you know that these baking mats from BakeitFun were a total upgrade, so much in fact that I passed my old set which is way over 10 years old onto my daughter who likes to use them when she plays with her play-doh. It was a winning choice for everyone.

Just like our first mat we are very happy with the results and matter of fact our older BakeitFun mat looks just as new as the one we just received which is awesome since the baking of the pad is white. These are used almost every time we bake. I did make one rule. That was that my husband can not use these when he makes his wings. 





Some of you may know that we have made a change in how we eat, it is slow going but I have to win over my family with new recipes made differently, and it is a hard sell in a lot of places, don't worry we aren't ready to give up meat or brownies anytime soon we are just changing how we prepare them. 

I found a great recipe for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grain Free). Almond Flour is a new ingredient for us and I will be having another blog up soon about that, but if you are interested in the recipe you can find it by clicking on the name above.

You can purchase the BakeitFun Baking Mat in Blur or other colors on Amazon.

Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts -100% Pure Review


Long Bath soaks are part of me time. I take in a book, light a candle and just enjoy the time I have to myself. Being a mother of 6 this is usually done once the kids are in bed, or when my husband keeps them busy for me to have some time in the tub.

Some of the ways I enjoy my bath are to add bubbles, scent, or Salts to my bath. I have been using Epsom salts for years and very rarely actually get to use Dead Sea Salt. I know I won't get the same results as actually laying in the Dead Sea but for my budget this is as close as I am getting.

Years ago I was told to take Salt baths to help my kidneys clear out toxins from my system. I have bad kidneys from being sick during my life. The Dr. keeps a close eye on me and is always advising me on what I should try as to what I should not try. Soaking in Bath salts is one way to keep my kidneys doing what they need to do.

You can purchase Adovia Dead Seas Bath Salts on Amazon.
