We love getting creative in the kitchen and crafting our own foods from scratch.  Grow and Make offers tons of great kits to help spark our creativity!  Check out our latest favorite kit...the DIY Hot Sauce Making Kit: 

It really couldn't be much easier to create homemade masterpieces!  Grow and Make kits include all of materials you need to complete your project.

For food kits, all items are freshly packed and clearly labeled.

Kits also include a detailed guide giving you clear instructions, tips, recipes and more.

Grow and Make's DELUXE DIY HOT SAUCE MAKING KIT teaches you how to make 6 spicy sauces at home with dried chipotle, arbol, and guajillo peppers.

The guide shows how these peppers (arbol, chipotle, and guajillo) rank on the scoville scale, and give instructions on how to blend ingredients like curry and ancho to achieve your favorite flavor. 

Choose recipes like classic Louisiana hot sauce or smoky chipotle hot sauce, or experiment with different spices to create your own! Fully customizable for different heat and taste preferences. Just use the easy-to-follow instructions! 

The kit includes bottles and sanitizing powder to make sure you produce the freshest, longest lasting sauces possible.

We decided to try the Louisiana Hot Sauce first since it's my personal favorite.  We found the instructions super easy to follow (it took just minutes from start to finish!) and the end result was delicious!

We can't wait to whip up our next batch of homemade hot sauce with our Grow and Make DIY Hot Sauce Making Kit!  If you love to create your own from scratch food and beauty products, check out Grow and Make!

Keep Butter Soft and Fresh with a Butter Bell Crock!

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

Check out one of my new favorite kitchen tools...the Butter Bell Crock!

The Butter Bell Crock makes it easy to keep your butter soft, spreadable and fresh, plus it's a gorgeous addition to your kitchen!

You simply fill your bell with softened butter, put a little water in the base and close it up.

The water creates a seal around the surface of the butter which keeps your butter safe from bacteria, germs, dust and other particles that float around in the air.

This dish is made from durable bone china and comes in several styles and colors to match your kitchen.  The crock holds a stick of butter (half a cup) and keeps it spreadably soft for easy use.  It is dishwasher safe and free of lead and cadmium.

If you need softened butter for spreading on a fairly often basis, the Butter Bell Crock will prove to be an extremely useful kitchen tool!

Ooey Gooey Game Night Fun with Meltdown! #MeltdownMoment

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

PlayMonster is challenging families to play this ooey-gooey game of fun and NOT to have a total #MeltdownMoment!

Atop the tower you’ll place the squishy goop—roll it, smash it, just place it however you want, then set the balancing platform on top of that! Take turns stacking cool, slippery cubes on top…but be careful…between the goop and slippery platform, it’s always shifting! 

 Pile it on until there’s a… MELTDOWN! If there’s a MELTDOWN you have to take the fallen cubes, and that’s dangerous because the goal is to get RID of your cubes!

 Meltdown is like a gooey version of those block tower games, except that you are adding cubes and the base is constantly and unpredictably moving.  Each game is different and so much fun!  It's pretty fast-paced and a great addition to our Family Game Night lineup!

Loved + Blessed: A Christian Faith-Based Subscription Box February 2020

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

We recently had the chance to review the February 2020 box from Loved + Blessed:

Loved+Blessed is a monthly membership and subscription care package for women who want to live life encouraged.

Each month subscribers receive:

-a box of encouragement

-a blog article

-a 4 week life application workbook

-4 video lessons

-online fellowship in our private community

-access to our membership library of past videos and workbooks

Let's take a look at this month's box:

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 February box was Yielding:

 The scripture card this month featured Jeremiah 17:7-8

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,

And whose hope is the Lord.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,

Which spreads out its roots by the river,

And will not [a]fear when heat comes;

But its leaf will be green,

And will not be anxious in the year of drought,

Nor will cease from yielding fruit."

The special gifts for February were awesome!  A book of 3-minute devotions and a sweet carrying case!

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!

They offer two subscription options.

-Month-to-Month for $25

-3 Month Prepaid $60 (this is a $15 savings)

Get your Loved+Blessed box and membership or gift someone else with this monthly dose of encouragement today!
