LightLife Smart Dogs Review

I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program (greenmomsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily re ect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of this product.

Today's lunch is LightLife Smart Dogs. They are meatless alternatives to hot dogs that are refrigerated-fresh, certified vegan and non-GMO Project verified. Each hot dog is only 50 calories and contains 7 grams of protein. We have been having this for lunch a few times now this summer and my girls really like them. I love that I can finally feed them hot dogs and not feel guilty about it. We have been avoiding hot dogs on our lunch and dinner menu since we started eating organic and natural products. Once in a while we splurge on buying organic hot dogs but they are pretty expensive so we don't buy it often. I really like that LightLife Hot Dogs are affordable. It is even cheaper than some other brand name hot dogs you find in your grocery store.

Another reason to love LightLife Smart Dogs is that they are easy to prepare. You just put it in a boiling water for 2 minutes and you're done. 

CozyPhones Kids Headband Headphones Review

Product Sample Received

 My girls love their new headphones from CozyPhones.  It is made of soft fleece and fits like a headband. They are lightweight, very comfortable to wear and really cute. Because it is made of fleece and stretchy material, it fits perfectly on my three girls. They can dance and shake their heads and it will never fall out.

Usually my girls hate wearing headphones because they are bulky and does not stay put. But with the CozyPhones, they love wearing it and they can wear it for long periods of time. They especially love using it while laying on bed watching videos on their iPad. They can lay down on their side and it will not hurt their ears. 

I really like that CozyPhones are washable. I've already washed them twice and they still look brand new. Another thing I love about CozyPhones is that they are small and easy to carry. They are perfect when travelling.

Santa Cruz Organic Agua Fresca Review

I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program (greenmomsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily re ect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of this product.

I few weeks ago I was contacted to review the new Santa Cruz Organic Aqua Fresca drinks. It was delivered on the same day we celebrated our end of school year cook out party. All the kids had so much fun that day. We surprised our kids and ambushed them at the bus stop with water guns. It eventually broke out into full blown water fight. We had a blast!

Of course after all that fun, they eventually got hungry and thirsty. We had some burgers and hot dogs. And for drinks, I let them try the new Santa Cruz Organic Aqua Fresca. It comes in three flavors, Promegranate, Mango Passionfruit, and Grapefruit. For review, I was sent the Promegranate, Mango Passionfruit and their original Organic Lemonade. Everyone really enjoyed all flavors, but the kids favorite is definitely the organic lemonade.  All drinks are very refreshing and lightly sweetened. It has just the right amount of sweetness. It taste even better when serve really cold.

What I love the most about these drinks is that they are made with core ingredients such as organic fruit juice, sugar, and a hint of lemon juice. They are also non-GMO Project Verified and Gluten-Free.

Cave Tools 3 Piece Stainless Steel BBQ Tool Set Review

*Product Sample Received*

 It seemed just yesterday when my wife and I decided to permanently relocate our family to Tampa Bay from Jersey city. In reality its been 5 months already and we have not looked back. One of my favorite things here obviously is the weather, Florida is blessed with it's warm climate. And with its perpetual summers, another favorite thing of mind comes to mind: grilling.

Lately I have been grilling a lot more often and my old barbecue tools just doesn't cut it. I was lucky enough to be able to try out Cave Tools 3 piece stainless steel BBQ tool set. It comes with a heavy duty BBQ spatula, tongs and a BBQ fork. They are very durable and can handle the thickest of meats, fish, ribs or poultry. My old BBQ tools are flimsy compared to these. And they offer 100% satisfaction guarantee, meaning their customer service will try to make things right if your grilling experience does not live up to your expectations. They are dishwasher safe for easy clean up and comes with free barbecue recipe book. In my opinion, they make barbecuing even more enjoyable, which I didn't know was even possible.

Wordless Wednesday: Best Friends

Emma & Raven

Wednesday: School Lunch

I made slow cooked Lemongrass Chicken yesterday for dinner. It was really good. We had some left-over so I made chicken salad. I just added a little bit of mayo and some apples. That's what my girls are having for their lunch today. Also in their lunchbox are strawberries, cucumber, peaches, and a ranch dressing.

Tuesday: School Lunch

I usually take pictures of my girls lunchbox everyday and post it on Instagram. Since I do that anyway, I've decided I might as well post it on my blog and share it to you guys. There's probably some days I won't post them.

Today's lunch is plain peanut butter sandwich. My girls love peanut butter sandwich so they usually get it for lunch once a week. There are times I've given it to them twice in one week. Also in their lunchbox are strawberries, grapes, kiwi, cucumber, and ranch dressing for the cucumber.

Olivia's 8 Birthday at GameTime

We received a free Family 4 Pack Combo! Includes (4) 1 hour game play cards, 1 Large 1 topping Pizza and 4 Beverages in exchange for review.


This weekend, we celebrated my oldest daughter Olivia's birthday. We decided to go to Gametime, an arcade/ restaurant in their Tampa location (in Ybor city.) It was a short drive from Brandon and we were there in about 25 minutes. Parking itself was not an issue as there was plenty of places to park as well as a $5 dollar parking area nearby.

The location itself is nestled in a large, stone brick building that housed other stores as well. When we came in we were immediately greeted and was taken to our table. I immediately noticed that there was a party being held not too far away from where we were. It was a kid's birthday party and there was tons of kids and parents there so obviously they're able to hold events of that size.

I also noticed that they had a pizza making oven and my girls were excited to know that they can see how their pizza is going to be made. We ordered a large sausage pizza and sweet chili wings ( my wife and I never had them before) with drinks by our server, who was very nice and accommodating. It didn't take long before we got our food and the pizza was great, the cheese was just the way we like it and there was generous amount of toppings. Our sweet chili wings was also really good, the sauce that they used is reminiscent of one that we actually use at home and had an authentic flavor.

As we were dining I noticed that there was a bar at the other side of the restaurant as well as another bar (the people there were watching sport games) in the middle of the game room, Im not much of a drinker but I can see that adults can come here as well for that purpose.

The game room itself is quite large and has multiple arcade games, ride simulators and attractions for kids and adults as well. We spent over an hour playing with different arcades and there was enough of them where there was no line to wait for your turn. There was also games where you can win prizes as well such as stuff toys from the "claw" game, we also played quite a bit of air hockey.

   

The second floor has bathrooms and gives you an overall view of the facility. There are also two party rooms where you can hold different type of events.

After an hour or so of playing the kids we're tired and my wife and I decided to call it a day. Gametime in Tampa is a great place to bring your kids for food and entertainment and we would definitely come back again.
