iCoffee Review and #Giveaway 3/8 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love waking up with a great cup of coffee.  Over the years I have tried a number of coffee pots and had a hard time finding one that brews a great cup.  I want to introduce you to the iCoffee steambrew machine.  This makes a wonderful cup of coffee right in your home.  The coffee is flavorful, hot, and perfect.  The iCoffee steambrew machine is easy to use and that is important for me when I am in a rush on busy mornings.






The iCoffee steambrew machine is a unique coffee pot.  This is a one of a kind coffee pot and you will not find another one like this around.  It took them 7 years to come up with this product.  I completely understand why too after trying it.  They even made over 1,200 prototypes of the iCoffee machine before perfecting it.  The iCoffee steambrew is made by Remington.  They coffee pot uses steambrew technology.  What exactly is that?  It contains six steam jets.  The coffee is also pre-steamed.  This is said to lock in the flavor of the coffee.  You can even watch the coffee steaming in the viewing window.  It's pretty neat.

What did I think?
I love this coffee pot.  The iCoffee created a rich and flavorful cup of coffee.  I did find that I didn't have to use as much coffee to get the desired flavor I wanted.  I also found that the coffee was less acidic than the coffee I made in normal coffee pots.  The iCoffee steambrew machine is easy to use.

Peas of Mind - Healthy Frozen Food Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



My kids really love fast food, but I limit how often they are allowed to eat it.  I try and come up with healthier alternatives when they want junk food.  What do you offer your kids when you want to offer them healthier eating options?  I know kids love their fries, but I think moderation is important.  I want to introduce you to Peas of Mind.  What if I told you that you could feed your kids a healthier version of fries?  




I picked up a bag of Peas of Mind Veggie Wedgies at my local Walmart.  I chose the baked carrot fries.  I was not sure how my kids would l like these.  I will start by saying that my 9 year old is super picky about foods.  He turns his head up to many veggies.  I put the Veggie Wedgies on his plate and he inhaled them.  My 7 year old loved them too.  I had to try these myself because I wanted to see what they tasted like.  They have a great flavor.  They do not have a super strong veggie flavor.  This works good for children that have an aversion to eating their veggies.  






Peas of Mind offers all natural food products for growing kids.  Adults like them too!  The Veggie Wedgies are fat free, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and soy free.  I could not believe how good these tasted for being fat free.  I honestly would not have known, unless I looked at the packaging.  The Veggie Wedgies are really easy to prepare too.  You simply spray them with cooking spray, and bake.  These are a great snack or addition to any meal.

You can learn more about all of the products that Peas of Mind offers by visiting their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Operation Smile

Sponsored Post



I think many of us do not realize how lucky we truly are.  This includes myself.  I am thankful every day that my children are healthy and happy.  Many children in the world are born with medical problems.  Operation Smile is a charity that is dedicated to help children that are born with a cleft lip, cleft palette, or facial deformities.  They provide free reconstructive surgery to children in over 50 countries.

Did you know that every three minutes a child is born with a cleft?  I had no idea how big of a problem this was.  A cleft isn't just a physical problem, but can cause issues with eating, speaking, smiling, and more.  Operation Smile's goal is to fix these issues.  There are children in many countries where they cannot afford surgeries to fix these problems too.  Operation Smile steps in and provides them with the medical care they need.  




Operation Smile has been around since 1982.  They are a group of volunteers.  They have provided children and young adults with more than 200,000 free surgeries.  They are even working with countries to help train them how to help children with these facial deformities on their own.  Operation Smile has had over 800 medical professionals take part in the program.




You can learn more about Operation Smile and find out what you can do to help by visiting their website.  This is a wonderful cause to help children throughout the world.




Did you know that Campus Book Rentals also donates to Operation Smile with every text book rented?  If you are a college student this is a great website to check out.  They offer great prices on textbook rentals.  It's a great way to save money on books, and it is much cheaper that purchasing the books!
