Libre (lee-brah)
The state of being free. Letting go, bringing one’s mind and body to a place of rest and free from restraint.

I love Tea.  All different types of tea.  When I was younger, it was given to me when I wasn't feeling good.  Tea and toast were my grandma's cure all.  Now that I am older, I drink it a lot, and I still need it when I do not feel well.

I used to just have tea already in tea bags at home.  I could not find a good strainer/infuser for the loose leaf.  Over the last couple of years, I was introduced to Libre glasses, and use them constantly!!  These glasses are perfect for loose leaf tea leaves, and make a terrific cup of tea.  They are very easy to use, and easy to clean.

Wooly From PAW5 Review And ~~Giveaway~~ #PAW5EnrichedLifeChallenge

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

PAW5 began in 2015 with a simple problem: co-founder Dennis O’Donnell was trying to find an easy-to-use, but challenging feeder for his yellow lab, Dory. Some products were challenging, but were also messy and difficult to fill. Others were easy to fill, but more frustrating for Dory than they were engaging and enriching. So we built a team of dog-crazy people, and together made the Rock ’N Bowl - an easy-to-use, easy-to-clean puzzle feeder that challenges and engages dogs in their most natural behavior.

I love Kevin an awful lot.  He is my baby.  He loves getting presents in the mail.  He is worse then the kids when it comes to demanding them be open.  The second he smells the package and knows it's for him, he won't leave me alone until I open it!!

When his Wooly from PAW5 came in, he would not leave the box alone!!

An entirely unique experience, Wooly engages dogs’ powerful sense of smell as they snuffle, snort, and sniff their way through dinner or treat time. Built to stimulate a dog’s natural foraging instincts by mimicking the hunt for food in grass and fields, Wooly feeds both their belly and their brain. This means you are giving your dog a fuller, more active and more rewarding day, every day! Well done, you!

This mat is very soft and durable.  Kevin instantly did his put it in his mouth and shake it thing.  That's what he does with all of his toys!!

Then he decided to rest for a little bit while he waited for me to add treats to the mat.

He wasn't sure why I was putting treats in it at first, but he quickly went crazy digging for them!!  He has gone back and played with the mat multiple times, and he has even napped on it!!

I like that the mat is made out of recycled fabric.  It gives my dog enjoyment, and helps the environment.

PAW5 wants you to not only give your furry friend his or her daily needs, but they want you to enrich your dogs life.  Right now they would like pet owners to take the PAW5 Enriched Life Challenge.  It's a five day program to help you and your dog enjoy life to it's fullest.  You can read all about the challenge on PAW5's blog here.

You can purchase the Wooly mat directly from PAW5's site here.  

How would you like to try one of the Wooly's with your dog??  PAW5 would like to give one lucky reader their own Wooly.

KYVAN Foods Makes Holiday Cooking Easier. Review And ~Giveaway~~

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

Cooking is a way of life in the South and nobody knows that better than NFL Pro Reggie Kelly, owner of KYVAN® Foods.

“Since I was a little boy, cooking in my household has been an event within itself and my family is a big reason why I love to cook. Growing up, they would always tell me, “Reggie, when you cook, make sure you do it with love.” “My family believed that great meals should be prepared in such a way that once eaten, it would touch your “SOUL”. I gathered that I should cook in such a way that first time visitors would feel welcomed and feel as though they are a part of my family.”

Reggie gathered his families secret recipes, pitched the idea to retailers in 2011, and now we have before our eyes KYVAN® Foods.

I love to cook.  Ben and I both do and we cook a lot.  We host parties at the house, and bring food to most places we go.  We always host Christmas each year, and with that, we prepare Breakfast and Dinner.

KYVAN foods sent me a variety of products to try to make my Holiday meal time easier.  I must say each and every product is very delicious!!

The first food item I just had to try was their Sweet BBQ Sauce.  That night I was making chicken strips for the kids, and we all love them with BBQ sauce.  

The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness for us, and the kids devoured all of the chicken!!

For breakfast the next day, I used the Honey Apple Butter on the boys toast.  Lets just say they must have liked it because one jar is already gone!!

The Honey Apple Butter has a great apple and cinnamon taste to it.  I bet it would taste terrific on ice cream too, or you could do what I did, which was eat some right out of the jar!!

My Husband enjoyed the Hot Honey Apple Salsa with pita chips.  He ate the whole jar with his co workers!!  The boys and I ate the Mild Honey Apple Salsa with tortilla chips and YUMMY!!

Over all I am very impressed with all of KYVAN's foods.  They are absolutely delicious, and I can not wait for all my family to try the Honey Apple Butter Christmas morning. 

You can purchase KYVAN food items at your local Walmart so you can get them before Christmas.  They will make perfect gifts too!!  I bought a jar of the Sweet BBQ Sauce for each of my kids teachers!!  You can also get them through their website here.

I am very happy that I am able to give one lucky reader a couple of items to try for themselves, thanks to the good owners of KYVAN foods!!  You will receive a jar of Honey Apple Butter, Honey Apple Mild Salsa and a bottle of Original Hot Sauce!!

Doug and Ben Jr both love to draw.  They sketch and color for hours.  When I was offered to review the Magic Sketch, I knew it would be right up their alley.

•      Protector Guard

•      1 Roller

•      3 Stamps

•      20 Learning Stencils

Both boys are going to love getting these under the tree this year!!  

Right now the Magic Sketches are sold out on line, but you can still get one for your special someone at a Michael's store near you.

Would you like to win one?  It will not arrive before Christmas, but it will make a perfect gift for birthday's, or even Valentines Day!!

Car Valet Review And ~~Giveaway~~

Do you have an older car, or even a newer one with very few cup holders??  I am very lucky that I have a ton of cup holders in my van (12 to be exact,) but only two in my Husbands car.  With four of us, not having enough cup holders is frustrating.  I was very excited to be sent a Car Valet.  It has given us those much needed cup holders in Ben's car, and an extra spot for his phone!!  

The Car Valet clips right onto your console or even your seat.  We have it clipped under Ben's radio.  It's made of a pretty good plastic, and what I like the best is that it holds all different sized cups.  I have put big ones that you get from the movie theater, and even regular coffee mugs from my kitchen in it.

You can purchase the Car Valet on their website here, and right now they are running a great special where you can buy one get one free!!

Would you like to win one??  One lucky reader is going to get their own Car Valet.

Enter below using the rafflecopter form and good luck!!
