I recently got to attend a very cool event hosted by The Moms and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the ontime slayer of vampires. This event was to kick off the her new brand Foodstirs. It is a kid-friendly cooking lifestyle brand. The line includes three signature baking mixes, frosting, and food crafting kits complete with decorative supplies and tools. It’s perfect for all children in your life who want to learn to bake and create their own magic.

The company was started by Gellar and her friend Galit Laibow, who were inspired by a day of baking they had set up with their daughters. When they went to the store they could not find baking mix that met their nutritional standards so they decided to create Foodstirs.

It was so much fun because we got to see a demonstration for Sarah Michelle herself. Frigidaire was on hand with their great appliances to provide a hand. We created a little ghost, which is part of the Halloween kit. The ingredients are all pre-measured so you don’t have to worry about any of that.

The kits are $24.99 if you buy them one at a time, but if you subscribe they are $19.99. I love that it comes with everything inside, and with the weather getting colder I am always looking for fun and creative things to do inside. This is a great concept and one I am sure you will enjoy.

Take the 7-Day Switch Up With Viva® Vantage®

When you are constantly in and out of the house and running around trying to get things done, you are going to have your share of spills. I always have a roll of paper towel in the kitchen because I know that something is going to end up on the table top or floor. It just makes cleaning up these messes easier.

I recently attended a live event sponsored by Viva® Vantage® at the house of Amy Oztan from the selfishmom.com. At this wonderful event I got to learn some great tips about how I can use Viva® Vantage® at home.

The Viva® Vantage® paper towels are made with the revolutionary V-Flex TM Weave which make them stretchy and strong. That stretch-strength gives these paper towels not only absorbency but also some great scrubbing power.

During the event while learning about the Viva® Vantage® towels we enjoyed some great food and drinks and even got craft with some glasses that we took come as a gift for attending this amazing event.

Here are some of the great tips that I learned and I am already using at home.

Ditch the bulky colander in favor of a paper towel. Place veggies and fruit on a sheet of Viva® Vantage® paper towels under a running faucet to function as a strainer; the stretchy-strength will keep the towel intact when wet.

Keep lettuce fresh longer by wrapping a paper towel around a head of lettuce to soak up excess moisture.

Replace the need for a vegetable scrubber by using the great scrubbing power of Viva® Vantage® paper towels to properly clean mushrooms, potatoes, etc. I got to try this at the live event.

This one is really good and it works. Slip a damp paper towel under your cutting board to prevent it from shifting while slicing and dicing.

Finally, need to get the grime off your stove? or something else. The great scrubbing power of Viva® Vantage® paper towels allows you to clean the toughest messes and restore your kitchen’s shine.

Check out the website and kick off your own “7-Day Switch Up” by visiting http://bit.ly/1T3mdFX for a Viva® Vantage® coupon to purchase and try the product. After trying this out return to the website to dish on your switch and enter for a chance to instantly win a $100 gift card.

I received the new Urbini Stroller which recently launched to review. This stroller is very easy to put together, you simply attach the wheels. I really love the fact hat this is a stylish stroller or as a travel system with a separate Urbini Sonti infant car seat and integrated adapters. However, it is wonderful as a single stroller.

The stroller is extremely comfortable. It is great for a walk in the park or the shopping center, or the grocery store. It has the features for comfort: cup holder and a nice size basket to hold your bag and other necessary things. The basket is a nice s ize and made of mesh material that helps keep it clean. The best feature is that it is easy to open and close and has a compact fold. The stroller weighs about 17 pounds. It will hold children up to 50 pounds.

The stroller is provides and easy multi position comfort recline which is perfect for a nap.
