NOT Just Another Mom

I realize I haven’t really introduced myself. I’d much rather show you my creative endeavors or give my opinions… . However, I will indulge in hopes of you getting to know me better…. First and foremost, I am a wife and mother of two. My family has always come first, but now that my children (15 and soon to be 19) are older, I’ve been able to delve into my love of art. I love creating and the process that comes with every new thing I try. My latest passions are paper, alcohol ink, and digital drawing. Paper is so versatile and you can do so many things with it once you figure out its secrets. With alcohol ink, the possibilities are endless as well and I have lately intertwined the two in a fun and unique way. Digital drawing allows me to use my art to radiate positivity which I think the world needs more of. I am a former middle school music teacher. I had about 11 yrs of experience teaching grades 6-8 choral and general music education classes as well as directing a show choir. Then...

        So the last few years I have started to try to become a little more knowledgable about wine.  It's been interesting for someone who had never drank much and mostly had those tropical fruity things on a rare occasion. But, here in Florida I've found that wine is a typical drink of choice and what comes naturally with wine? Cheese, of course!  I have REALLY enjoyed that part!  I have always loved cheese and so I was of course excited to try some through BzzAgent.  They provided me the opportunity to try Arla Dofino's smoked Gouda.  The deep flavor and soft texture goes well with a nice red wine.  It also went nicely in a grilled cheese,with some other varieties.  Needless to say, I can't wait to try some of their other varieties. Thanks BzzAgent and Arla Dofino for the opportunity to try this smooth, soft cheese wrapped in a thin wax shell!  If you're curious about the brand here's a few facts of interest: ...

I am the biggest junk food junkie sometimes and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have been a long time weakness of mine. Well, it just so happens that with being a bzzagent, I get the opportunity to try things ( for free most of the time,too ). Well, the latest campaign is for a newer healthier candy called Unreal. They have no corn syrup, no preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, no artificial flavors, and no GMO's. I decided to do a taste test between the real deal and Unreal's peanut butter cups. I wanted to know if they had the same sweet chocolate and creamy texture. Well, after trying them both and comparing the two, I prefer Reese's, but the Unreal is good in its own way. It is a little more of a stronger chocolate flavor and not quite as creamy, but it's not bad for being a healthier choice. Take the time to compare the difference for yourself. I have the pictures to compare... Can you tell which is the real Reese's?

I just received another amazing product from Bzzagent.com!  I might even get into trouble with this one....MY kids are doing work!  Cleaning, that is!!  They are having fun and scrubbing their toilet everyday.  I must admit this has to be child labor or something....How can cleaning be fun you ask?  Well, this product is sooo easy that your kid can do it,too!  All you have to do is step on the pedal and these millions of tiny scrubbing bubbles take off to tackle the worst of worst.  My kids always forgot to flush and their was this disgusting ring that I would have to tackle every few days!  Then Bzzagent came to the rescue and sent me this to try....I am sooooo impressed!  My kids love it and for three weeks, there is NO ring and the bathroom smells FRESH!!!  Unbelievable...I LOVE IT!
