Super Pretzels brand soft pretzels now come in a new Sweet Cinnamon flavor

 Super Pretzels brand soft pretzels now come in a new Sweet Cinnamon flavor. The frozen pretzel brand mixed in some cinnamon into their soft and sweet pretzels and included cinnamon-sugar packets to coat the pretzels after their heated.

They come six fully baked pretzels to a 13-ounce box in the frozen food aisle. To eat, you just microwave and sprinkle the packet on.


My kids loved them!


You may frequently find .50 cent off coupons for them if you look, I've been seeing them for years!


SUPERPRETZEL® Sweet Cinnamon

For when your sweet tooth and snack tooth unite, the SUPERPRETZEL Sweet Cinnamon Soft Pretzel has bursts of cinnamon mixed inside making it scrumptious all on its own or with a dash of cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top.

My advice on coating them? Do as I have done in the below picture and find a small container with a lid. Pour the entire huge packet of cinnamon sugar it comes with in this container. Since the bag the sugar comes is is not resealable... Especially if you will not be using all of the pretzels at once, and want to eat them single, then you will able to store the cinnamon sugar in the fridge/freezer till the next use with the lid on. I buttered my already heated pretzels and then put them in container, put lid on.. shook it, and they came out coated in it! So yummy!~

#holidayGiftGuide -- SmartyPants Gummies flavor test and review!




Recently I received a sample from a  Facebook page from a brand I had never heard of. I requested them, because, well- it was free! 
That's the beautiful thing about samples. They cost companies money- but they do work!!  ...
Because once I got them, I was instantly addicted. They are chew-able Omega 3 "gummy vitamins" called SmartyPants Vitamins.
The company's founder wrote to everyone who received the samples (what a nice personal touch!) to ask how they liked them?
I responded with that I loved them VERY much! And I pitched an idea to feature them here!

Unlike most companies .. *ahem* he hasn't bothered me about the TWO HUGE bottles he sent since he sent then. He has just been waiting patiently for Casey Time.


:)


He sent me a huge bottle of gummies for my kids, and a huge bottle of gummies for Noah  (*the Hubby) and I to share.

How sweet!~

Well I gotta say; I was miffed only by how many you are supposed to take. We didn't take the recommended dosage since we were all sharing them and they would've gone far too quickly. You (adult) are supposed to 6 at a time.  The childrens dose is 4. My husband & I looked at the amounts of vitamins in each, and they appear to be exactly the same. Meaning that my daughter could take the adults bottle, just less of them, with her recommended dose, and I could take hers as well, just take more of them ... These gummies are really sweet, and I have to admit I feared a little for my diet if I ate that many (6). But they taste so good it was hard not to eat the whole dosage!!!


What do they taste like?

There are several different colors but they all tasted the same to me. They remind me of those old sugared jelly "gumdrops" from back in the day, the old fashioned candy they used to make before candy bars really took over. You know, The kind you buy from a glass jar with a scoop in bulk?  Only difference is, those are kinda hard & gross and these are soft and juicy. So soft, I was surprised.
Everyone in the whole house loved them, my kids would beg me for vitamins daily. I am sad that we are all out!

I read recently that as for most vitamins, they cant prove taking them does anything. But vitamin D is extremely important in anyone's diet.   SmartyPants contains vitamin D. Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins next to calcium, and I know pregnant, and nursing mothers are strongly encouraged to take (all 3) especially Omega 3, since some of it contains DHA, or DHEA. If it helps a developing baby, you know you could benefit from taking it as well.


The good news is: Smartypants vitamins are available at many popular retailers!!!

 Where to buy
Where can I buy SmartyPants? You can buy SmartyPants through their website and at other major online retailers like Amazon.com,Drugstore.com, Diapers.com, and Abe’s Market. Also sold at retailers like Whole Foods!u.


I know most people wouldn't think that vitamins would make a good Christmas gift, or at least not a "usual" gift, but I know myself or my kids would be tickled to get these. They're organic, TASTY, and good for you. Much better than a toy that your kids have 5 million of. This is something they can actually use! 
I love that the vitamins are available for kids and adults. Your never too big for a gummy vitamin, so get your own bottle, and get out of the kids bottle!!!


In conclusion, I give these  gummies *****  <-- 5 stars!!  (Out of FIVE!)
definitely recommend the purchase of these gummies.
Buy them now!

My Christmas tree!

First of all, I'm just excited, so there absolutely NO compensation for this post.. nor was any of it gifted to us for free. However, if your interested.. we got 90% of the ornaments from Kmart, and a very few ( like 5 probably... came from WallyWorld ) anyway- I just think its pretty.. I'm girly so my tree should be too! I love the whole bow as a tree topper and I think it's super pretty! Better than a star or angel, and our tree fits us.. well- minus Noah but he's outnumbered by GIRL POWER!!~ We had a lot of fun fluffing and decorating it together, and we got it up in record time. Also, love the Jaclyn Smith ornament "hooks" which actually have no hook at all, simply matching purple ribbons.. I thought they might look funny on the ornaments, but they look really cool! The first few pictures (with the exception of the 3rd down) were taken with my cell phone, so the quality is poor for details BUT if you scroll the the bottom I included many pictures with my 18 megapixel camera, and you can really see the ornaments and details much better!













 











Again, not compensated for this post, nor sent anything for free.   :)
