I love baking so much so when I had the opportunity to receive a free sample from Reynolds to try cookie baking sheets I was excited! First, they are nicely folded so all you have to do it take one out and place on your cookie tray! Drop your cookie mix down and bake like normal! Now the fun part-- cool your cookies and immediately they will come right up! No sticking or ruining your cookies ever again and also NO mess! Simply fold it right back up and toss -with no residue on your tray!

Thanks to Reynolds for my free sample!

Natural Choices Cleaners!

Since becoming a mom I love finding products that are healthy for my family. Using eco friendly products are not only beneficial for us but for the entire world. Using  "green" products not only help your environment but its will set up a better environment for our future generations!

I came across a company called Pacific Sands Inc. where they make eco friendly products -- Natural Choices cleaners as well as Eco One natural-based, chlorine-free spa and pool treatments. Their products are all environmentally safe, effective, and packaged in recyclable materials and make them all in Wisconsin! 

They have sent me some products to try and review!

OXY-Prime’s cleaning power is enhanced with the proven oxygen cleaning power of OXY-Boost.

No perfumes, dyes, fillers or artificial brighteners.  It works great for people with sensitive skin and allergies.  

• Quickly breaks down to naturally occurring components

*This product right now is on sale for 6.99 on their website. Please give it a try! I have only used this a few times since receiving it a week ago and i love it! My sons socks here pictured is one great example on how great it works. It left the socks so much brighter without the toxic chemicals found in other laundry detergents. Perfect for my son who has sensitive skin!

                            Mineral Magic

Removes calcium, lime scale and rust stains quickly, easily and safely.

Mineral Magic is a non-toxic formulation, using non-corrosive organic solutions that are effective on the hardest of lime, rust and calcium buildups both inside and outside your home.
It's a fast acting, powerful formula with no rubbing or scrubbing.
Recommend for use in well ventilated area.

* This one has a strong smell but with proper ventilation its not a problem. I have lime and calcium buildup in my shower and toilet. Its irritating because everything else is always clean but it seems that I can not get the toilet completely rid of the lime and calcium corrosion. I mean I have used everything on the market today lysol, kaboom, and a few others but NOTHING has ever worked.  So I went and sprayed this in my toilet and I seriously couldn't believe that within in minutes it was remarkably clean, Like NEVER BEFORE. It really is magic!

Valentine Conversation Heart Cookies Recipe

Say "I love you!" on Valentine’s Day with these yummy sugar cookies inspired by classic conversation hearts.

INGREDIENTS

2/3 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 egg

1 tablespoon milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting

Food coloring

Reynolds® Parchment Paper

DIRECTIONS

Step 1:

PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Line two cookie sheets with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.

Step 2:

BEAT butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, and salt. Beat until combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Beat in the egg, milk, and vanilla until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour. Divide dough in half. If necessary, cover and chill dough about 30 minutes or until easy to handle.

Step 3:

ROLL half the dough at a time between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch heart-shape cookie cutter, cut out cookie shapes, rerolling dough as needed until all the dough is cut out. Place shapes 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheets.

Step 4:

BAKE 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are firm and bottoms are very light brown. Transfer the parchment paper with baked cookies to wire racks and let cool. Once cooled, slide the parchment paper onto a work surface.

Step 5:

Tint frosting as desired with food coloring. Frost cookies with one color and use another color to pipe a message over the frosted cookies.

Bring the entire family, and spend the day with dinosaurs!


The following are INCLUDED with paid admission
Dinosaur Rides
Inflatables
Mini Golf
Dino Dig
Dino Theater
Dino Coloring

Several locations offer other attractions too.

ADDITONAL TICKETS FOR:
Gem & Fossil Panning
Face Painting

Ticket prices vary by location and more information can be found here

My tickets were free,  but a family of four at my location was $72.00.

My kids loved seeing the dinosaurs because they are HUGE fans.... But I would probably not attend again. In my opinion there were not enough dinosaurs and the lighting on the dinosaurs itself was strange and made it look weird, i think they had the lights too close to the actual dinosaurs. There was a photographer when you walked in to the exhibit to take your picture, and they added in the "3d  dinosaur" to make it seem like it was attacking you.. he handed us a number card and at a different location we seen our photo and could purchase it for $15-20. Again, wasn't worth it. The camera flash was entirely on all our faces making it less then mediocre. I had free mining tickets and I think that was probably the coolest thing because you got free gems to find and keep. The kiddie area had four small strange looking dinosaurs that the smaller toddlers could play on and a large area to run around. The exhibit took less than 15 minutes to get through, they also had a souvenir shop so you could buy overpriced dinosaurs. The Theater had a projector screen playing "Walking with Dinosaurs", the sound quality was terrible.  We couldn't hear the movie at all. Mini golf had 8 holes and were old platforms with some having coffee cans in place for the hole. Porta potties outside and no place to buy any kind of drink... making the no outside food/drink rule kind ridiculous. The location was a former store that had closed so I am not sure if they didn't clean or if they didn't keep up with cleaning but the floors were filthy!  Including the toddler area. That being said...Not worth paying 15-20 per person plus extra for the other activities! The kids did have some fun though!
