We love honey!  Honey is like nature's remedy for pretty much all things...it's purely magical!  :)

We incorporate honey into so many of our dishes for it's amazing medicinal and health benefits, so we were pretty excited to get to try out Honey Stinger's power packed waffle and cracker snacks! 

Honey Stinger offers up treats made with quality ingredients and awesome honey!  They have organic and gluten free waffles in some really tantalizing flavors and recently added a line of chocolate covered cracker sandwiches filled with yummy nut butter and, you guessed it, honey!

Look at all the tasty, honey-infused treats:

Know what's a brilliant idea?  Sandwiching honey between two thin waffles. Honey Stinger Organic Waffles are easy to digest, certified organic and available in a super convenient single-serving wrapper.

Honey Stinger uses honey, a natural form of energy and antioxidants, as the main carbohydrate source for all their products. And they are dang tasty y'all!  This kid is a huge fan of all things Honey Stinger, but especially the waffles as proven by his new daily waffle habit: 

He jumps out of the pool, grabs a waffle and is good to go!  And I get the peace of mind knowing he's eating a clean and healthy snack!

Let's check out the newest Honey Stinger product, the Cracker N' Nut Butter Snack Bar:

Honey Stinger's not so guilty pleasure is organic nut butter and honey sandwiched between two multigrain crackers sprinkled with sea salt then covered in chocolate.  The three flavors are Cashew Butter and Milk Chocolate, Almond Butter and Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate, all with a dash of sea salt.

These tasty snacks are a mashup of all things good...the best of both salty and sweet worlds and sure to make your mouth happy!  The fact that they are a treat you can eat and not feel guilty about is a definite plus.  Nut butters, honey and multigrains?  Yes please!

Eat Sustainably with Blue Evolution Seaweed Pasta!

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

We are always looking for ways to make our meals more sustainable and healthy.  I love it when we can find a product to make an easy, tasty and healthier swap with something else we use.  Blue Evolution seaweed pastas are a fantastic swap for traditional wheat pasta!

Why Seaweed?

Beyond sustainable, seaweed regenerates the waters in which it grows, absorbing carbon from the ocean and alchemizing seawater and sunshine into healthy food.  And it tastes great!  It's a win-win!

Why Blue Evolution?

Roughly 98% of the seaweed we consume in the U.S. is imported. Blue Evolution brought harvesting seaweed closer to home.  They cultivate their seaweed in farms along the pristine waters of the Pacific Coast.  They believe in the responsible harvest of this awesome super food.  When seaweed is responsibly harvested, it’s not only delicious and incredibly nutritious, but it also has the power to literally change our climate equation.

Check out the products:

Penne with Superfood Seaweed

Rotini with Superfood Seaweed

To make these tasty pastas, traditional wheat pasta is infused with a hint of sustainable, North American seaweed. Seaweed makes this pasta a good source of plant-based, bioavailable iron and has lower carbs than other pastas. 

These pastas are made with non-GMO ingredients, vegan, high in iodine and a good source of magnesium and iron.  They are packaged in fully compostable, FSC-certified packaging and labeled with plant-based inks.

The best part? They are super tasty!  I am not kidding when I say we couldn't tell the difference between the texture of our usual past.  Plus, we all thought it tasted a bit better and less starchy.  Dressed simply with olive oil (or butter) a pinch of garlic salt, a sprinkle of fresh parmesan and a spritz of lemon juice...heaven in a bowl!

Make the swap...it couldn't be easier (or tastier:)  Check out Blue Evolution on your next pasta night!

Get Patriotic with the Confetti Grace DIY Craft Subscription June Box! #partner

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

One of my favorite sayings is "Throw kindness around like confetti." Kindness is free, contagious and it benefits everybody.  There is no limit to the amount of kindness any one person can give or receive.  I think it's super important to teach these ideas to our kiddos by our actions, not just our words...practice what we preach ya know?  The creator of Confetti Grace shares these beliefs and that is evident in the amazing subscription service they provide!

The Confetti Grace subscription makes it easy for families to share kindness by gathering all of the supplies needed to create 2 beautiful homemade projects ad shipping them straight to your door.  Keep one, give one - or give both!  Gift wrap and DIY cards are included!  It doesn't get much easier than that! 

Check out the June Confetti Grace box for an idea of what this subscription offers:

Step-by-step instructions with pictures of each project:

Project #1- Wooden USA Sign

Project #2- Patriotic Bandana

Card-Making Materials featuring Lemonade (and tags and ribbon for gift wrapping)

Gift Bags and Tissue Paper for gifting:

We had a blast creating our projects and I know they will be loved as we give them as gifts over the next few weeks.  Confetti Grace reminded us what Aesop said..."No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted."  What an amazing experience to share with our kiddos!

It gets better!  Confetti Grace spreads even more kindness by donating 20% of net profits to worldwide charities. Each quarter, they choose a new charity to raise money for.  The first quarter of 2019, they gave 20% of profits from each box to The Birthday Party Project to help bring joy to children experiencing homelessness.  Wow!  What an amazing company to support!  Love:)

Spread a little kindness of your own and teach your kiddos why kindness is so important while spending quality time together crafting!  Check out Confetti Grace this summer!
