Making Healthy Breakfast Choices with Jessica's Natural Foods + Giveaway! #spon

**DISCLOSURE** Thank you to Jessica's Natural Foods for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

We are always looking for easy, healthy breakfast ideas around here.  Thanks to Jessica's Natural Foods, we've found a few more options that make the whole clan start the day with happy, full bellies.

Jessica's Natural Foods has a great line up of all-natural, non-GMO and gluten free products including granola, baking mixes and even syrup. 

You can choose from 6 flavors of granola and it’s all handmade in small batches and contains wholesome ingredients like ground flax seed and coconut.  Their granolas are all non-GMO verified, gluten-free certified, contain real ingredients and have no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

Check out the flavors we reviewed:

Gluten-Free Pecan Almond Granola

Gluten-Free Cherry & Berry Granola

Gluten-Free Almond Cherry Granola

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Granola

We enjoyed every single flavor!  These granolas were a great addition to yogurt, a perfect cereal with a little coconut milk and a lovely on-the-go snack right out of the bag.

Jessica's All Natural has several gluten-free baking mixes.  We tried out the muffin mix:

Gluten-Free Muffin Mix

We were pretty impressed by this mix.  We have had many crumbly, grainy experiences with gluten-free mixes, but this one actually created a muffin-like texture that was light, fluffy and moist. 

This mix uses ancient grains, teff and oat flour to give you a tasty breakfast bread with lots of health benefits.

It's super easy to whip up a batch...just add eggs, oil, vanilla and your milk of choice, bake for 15 minutes and voila!  A mouthwatering, filling breakfast the whole family can enjoy!

It's so easy to get creative and customize your muffins...just add your favorite mix-ins like fruit or chocolate chips.  We used blackberries and the results were delicious! 

Finally, we got to review a tasty syrup from Jessica's Natural Foods:

Organic Strawberry Syrup

This syrup is organic, contains real ingredients and has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

It tastes amazing on pancakes or as a flavoring for milk.  The strawberry flavor really shines through, adding a yummy, fruity flavor.

Crazy Cups January Flavor: Snickerdoodle

**DISCLOSURE** Thank you to Crazy Cups for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

As an ambassador for Crazy Cups, I get to review a different flavor of single serve coffee cups each month.  The folks at Crazy Cups have been hard at work brewing up something new and our flavor for January was Snickerdoodle:

Crazy Cups are single serve cups that are compatible with all Keurig K Cups® Pods brewers and other single serve machines as well.   We use an iCoffee brewer and they fit perfectly.  Crazy Cups' coffees are gluten-free, nut-free, and contain no calories.  The cups use cool-peel-recycle technology, making them recyclable after use.  We peel ours back once they're cool, toss the grounds into our compost bin and recycle the cups, easy peasy and eco-friendly.

Flavor description:

Yep.  Snickerdoodle flavored coffee.  Snickerdoodle is a funny-sounding name, but this is some seriously tasty stuff. 

Our thoughts:
We love snickerdoodle cookies and this flavor really lived up to the name.  This coffee is full of cinnamon-y, buttery goodness with a hint of vanilla and is a great way to wake up in the morning. Another hit from Crazy Cups!

Celebrate the New Year with a Bright Smile Thanks to Colgate Optic White! #spon

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Colgate-Palmolive for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

It's a new year which means it's time for a fresh start!  How about a resolution you can actually keep this year, an improved smile?  Colgate can help give you a brighter, healthier smile with a great line up of Optic White oral care.

Check out some of these great products that will give you a reason to show off your smile.

Colgate Optic White mouthwash uses WhiteSeal® technology to help create a shield around your teeth to keep the whiteness in.  It uses a 2% hydrogen peroxide formula to help whiten teeth and freshen breath.  The flavor is much more pleasant than many other mouthwashes we've tried.

Whiter teeth are just days away with the Optic White® teeth whitening pen and toothbrush.  This toothbrush is gentle on teeth and gums and has a handy dandy storage space inside the handle for the whitening pen.  

Colgate's High Impact White toothpaste is another Optic White product that really delivers!  This amazing whitening toothpaste is safe for every day use.

The newest member of the Optic White line is the Stain-Less White Toothpaste which removes dark stains caused by your favorite beverages like coffee, tea and wine.  We drink a lot of tea around here, so I'm always looking for oral care products that can help to get rid of the discoloration caused by our favorite drink.  I was super impressed with my results after using the Stain-Less White toothpaste.  What an easy way to make such a big difference!

Optic White products are a huge hit in our house thanks to the quick and lasting results we've seen since we started using them.  

Using Colgate Optic White products is a simple, yet effective way to keep your pearly whites sparkling and give you something to smile about all year long!

Loved + Blessed: A Christian Faith-Based Subscription Box January Edition #spon

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review the January box from Loved + Blessed:

Loved + Blessed is a Christian faith-based subscription box service that delivers a box of encouragement right to your door each month.

Each box revolves around a central theme and comes with a mini poster, a sticker, a purse-sized scripture card and a gift.

The theme for the January box was Unlimited:

 The scripture card this month featured Romans 4:18-21 "Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."

The special gift for January was an Infinity Case to remind you of God's infinite power.  

It can be used as a cosmetic bag, travel toiletry case or even as a gadget case for your cords...the possibilities are unlimited. 

 This box also included an encouragement kit to pass along to a friend:

I definitely think there is room for Loved + Blessed in the subscription box market and I love that their mission is to deliver encouraging products that support a fantastic message!

If that wasn't enough, Loved + Blessed gives a portion of the proceeds of each box sold to Union Rescue Mission, a charity that offers hope and healing to the homeless.  What an amazing cause!

For just $15.99/month + $4 shipping & handling in the US, you can get your Loved + Blessed box or gift someone else with this monthly dose of encouragement today!

Delicious Organic Fruit Snacks from GO Organically! #spon

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We are pretty picky about which fruit snacks out kiddos are allowed to eat because there are so many "fruit" snacks out there that have little to no actual fruit or nutritional value for that matter...just sugar, sugar, sugar and artificial flavors and colors.  Fortunately for our fruit snack loving children, we found GO Organically fruit snacks!

These fruit snacks are made from USDA certified organic produce, real fruit and real fruit juice.  They are packed with Vitamins A, C and E and are free of preservatives, artificial flavors and colors, GMOs, gluten and high fructose corn syrup.

They are super tasty too!  They come in three varieties: Tropical, Fruit Medley and Mixed Berry.  I love snacks that the kiddos really enjoy, when I know that they are a healthier option for them!

Evanger's One Ingredient Canned Foods and Treats for Your Pup!

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

Evanger's has some great new products that use only one single ingredient, making them healthier choices for your pup.

Our dogs both loved these simple, one ingredient canned foods.  With delicious flavors like Salmon, Duck and Chicken, it's really no surprise!

Canned food is reserved as a special treat for Jessie and Harley and they absolutely devoured the Evanger's one ingredient options!

Evanger's also has one ingredient treats, like these bits of beef liver.

These treats disappeared quickly with our meat-loving dogs!  Plus, they are small enough to use as training treats and a really healthy, single ingredient snack.

As always, Evanger's also has dry food for dogs in all life stages like this Chicken and Brown Rice kibble.

Though our dogs preferred the canned food and treats, they also really enjoyed this Super Premium dry food.

Evanger's has a great line up of healthy food and treat options for dogs and cats.
