Mary's Homemade Sweets and Goodies Review by Ashley

Recently, I received a jar of Mary's homemade apple butter all the way from Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She had neatly tucked it into a round teddy bear tin. So upon unwrapping it, I knew that the tin would hold something homemade like Grandmother used to make. The next day, I fixed biscuits for my son and I for breakfast. We spooned some yummy apple butter atop our warm biscuits and enjoyed. My son, Christian, went crazy over it. "Mom this is delicious," he said. I liked how it had little bits of apple in the butter. I've never had apple butter like
that before. Usually, apple butter is creamy but since I'm a person that craves texture in my food, it was so nice to find some texture in my apple butter.

For your chance to win a jar of Mary's homemade apple butter be sure to follow the directions below. Be sure to check out Mary's facebook page to order your own apple butter. Good Luck! A very special thank you goes to Mary for being our sponsor, for sending me some yummy apple butter, and for the free gift she enclosed in my apple butter package. :)

Scentsy Buddy Review and Giveaway with Sandra

Sandra Foy, a Consultant with Scentsy, sent me Ribbert, the frog Scentsy Buddy.

My first thought when I pulled him out of his custom box, which is more like a pet condo with windows and doors, was how the pictures I have seen of these in the catalogs and online just don’t give these guys enough credit! From the pictures I saw, I imagined him to be thin and kind of lanky, when in fact he is quite the stout little guy, and way softer than I expected. Scentsy describes the buddy’s are perfect for your child or the child with in yourself! These little guys have a nifty zipper pouch  in their back to stuff with a scent pack. While I can not vouch on how long they will last since I did not have one, many people I have spoke with say they can last up to 5 months, just depends.

 Now isn't this nifty, look how simple it would be to switch the scent! I LOVE this feature

I will say this buddy is so soft and cuddly, it is the perfect amount of fluff and softness, fills the body just right. The zipper pouch seems like a great idea for little one’s who take their stuffed animals everywhere seeing as how they will keep them from being less stinky. Not to mention that you can just wash the buddy and change the scent whenever! One of my friends daughters has one and says they hold up perfect in the washing machine and the scent makes it perfect for their rooms when they become “curious” of the cords on the warmers. I was told the buddy can fill the room with the scent inside it.
These little buddy’s come in 10 different animals, one being for the winter and one being a charity item benefiting the Ronald McDonald House. They have over 30 scents to stuff them with from a calming lavender to a bright and fun fruity scent. They range in price from $25 to $30 depending on which buddy you get.

What else does Scentsy offer? Everything from hand sanatizer and car items to elegant warmers and over 80 scents to pick from in wax! Is it worth the money? Yes, I think the buddy is worth the money. My puppy loved it, she kept it in her crate and laid on it at night as well as had a fight or two with her cousin over it. I am sure it will hold up to a child if it can handle my puppy and her cousin.
