Picture Evolution Review, Discount Code, and Giveaway

Photos are a bit of an addiction. With my digital camera I can take as many photos as I want and I sometimes get carried away.. hehe. But I just love to decorate my home with pictures that have meaning to us. We have tons of family photos hanging all over, and I even have some scenery shots of beautiful gardens and the beach. I just think it means more when you can look at a photo and be filled with memories.

So I am always on the lookout for creative ways to use my pictures in a decorative way. I was recently given the opportunity to review a photo collage from Picture Evolution. When I looked at how these collages are created I knew it would be a perfect addition to my home decor!

All I had to do was select 30 pictures and choose one that would be the main photo. I sent my choices off to the company and they sent me a proof. The proof looked awesome so I ok-ed it and waited for my collage to arrive.

Well, it has arrived!!! And it's awesome! I don't have anything like this and I am so thrilled to have it hang in my home! It's created on canvas and is so unique. When you get up close you can see all the pictures that were used to created the main photo. How special!

I decided to do a main photo of our family at my daughter's First Birthday and all the photos that are used to make the main photo are from our daughter's first year.

Picture Evolution has tons of other great ways to show off your fabulous photos, so be sure to check out their website. And with the holidays right around the corner you could find the perfect, personal gift!

Picture Evolution is offering a special discount code for my readers! You can get 20% off the collage by using the code MOMMADRAMA before December 24th.

GIVEAWAY: One Lucky Reader will be able to create a collage (in the same size as mine)! (an $89.99 value - the winner is responsible for shipping)

Kidorable Review and Giveaway

I am a huge fan of Kidorable products! They have the cutest items, and the best part is that they are all functional! They carry raincoats and rain boots, umbrellas, hats, scarves, towels, backpacks, and more! They offer a great variety of characters for both boys and girls. They have ladybugs, dinosaurs, fairies, space heroes, and more.

I was recently given the opportunity to pick one of their products for review. I decided to pick a towel for several reasons. First of all, the towels are adorable! They are hooded and designed to look like their theme. They are also multi functional. You can use them at the beach, the pool, or after bath time. And, they don't grow out of them as quickly! You can't go wrong.

Picking the towel was the next challenging choice. They are all so adorable but we decided on the ladybug. It's a great design with a hood and then the body of the ladybug is the towel. It also has a snap near the neck area to keep the towel secure on your little one. They are offered in two sizes (small for up to 2 years old and medium for 3-6 year olds). I went with the medium so that she would have room to grow and it's working perfectly.

When we took our daughter out of the tub and wrapped her in it for the first time she looked in the mirror and yelled "bug"! She was very excited! These would make a great gift! Kidorable also has a fun gift quiz for you to take this holiday season. I did pretty well with 4 out of 5... how did you do?

GIVEAWAY: One Lucky Reader will win an umbrella of their choice from Kidorable!

Grounds for Change - Review

Grounds for Change is a certified organic coffee roaster specializing in 100% Fair Trade Coffee. We roast Organic Fair Trade Coffee that is grown in shaded conditions and our Coffee of the Month Club is the perfect coffee gift for any occasion. Grounds for Change has a comprehensive Wholesale Coffee program for independent coffeehouses, as well as a Coffee Fundraiser for organizations. Every single bean we roast is certified Fair Trade Organic coffee.

I recently received a three pack organic sampler from Grounds for Change. You know me, I love coffee! So I was excited to give it a try. I loved that when I opened the box I could just smell the sweet aroma of fresh coffee beans!

I love the fact that it's organic coffee. I also like the fact that it's grown and produced by a family owned and operated roasting business. And... to make it an even better buy... this company supports local domestic violence intervention programs and small business loans for women. They also help support women coffee farmers... and some of their coffee is grown only by women.

Ok, so it's a great company to support. They care about the community and the environment... but how does the coffee taste? Delicious! It really has a fresh taste to it. Each flavor was rich and enjoyable. 

Grounds for change offers a variety of flavors as well as great coffee gifts! The three pack sampler only costs $21.95. That's a great deal for delicious coffee!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Wholly Guacamole - Review

I've never had guacamole in my life. I've had it on my plate on the side of my quesadillas and such, but I've just never tried it. But over the past few months I had been reading some reviews about Wholly Guacamole's guacamole and I decided it was time to give it a try. 

Wholly Guacamole sent me two different types of guacamole to try: their classic and their spicy. They also included a tub of salsa and a tub of queso. They sent so much stuff that I decided it would be perfect for an appetizer spread on Thanksgiving! This way my whole family could try the different dips and tell me what they thought.

Wow! Everyone was impressed! My favorite was the queso. It was SO delicious and creamy! My husband could not stop talking about how fresh the salsa tasted... he finished the entire tub. And the guacamole was a hit, too! And yes, I tried it! It really did have a nice flavor with a smooth texture. I started with the classic and then tried the spicy. I think I prefer the spicy because you get a little kick. 

Wholly Guacamole also has the cutest ideas for incorporating their dips into fun appetizers. I am going to make little Grinches with guacamole for my holiday party next weekend!

I highly recommend Wholly Guacamole! And what's even better is that when I searched for a location near me on their website my local Stop and Shop came up. So now I can have Wholly Guacamole whenever I want! (And word on the street is that guacamole is healthy for you, too! Just don't tell the kids!)

New England Coffee Review

Most of you already know about my obsession with coffee.... and my husband is even worse. We can't start our day without a nice hot cup of coffee.

Ever since I went on Weight Watchers I have decided to eliminate all the cream and sugar and drink my coffee black (zero points baby!). So I want my coffee to have a nice flavor. So when I received three of the Limited Edition flavors from New England Coffee for my review I was super excited. I received a bag of Cinnamon Sticky Bun, a bag of Pumpkin Spice, and a bag of Gingerbread Cookie. Don't those just sound amazing?

My husband makes the coffee every morning, so we play a little game. Every morning he hands me a cup of coffee and challenges me to tell him what flavor it is. I've gotten pretty good at this game! And the New England Coffee flavors have helped boost my score. The flavors are so nice and stand out the perfect amount, so you know what you're drinking! The Gingerbread Cookie flavor just tastes like the holidays. Yummy!

They have even more flavors to offer. When I was checking them out online I knew I wanted to try the Eggnog flavor.  And the Blueberry Cobbler also sounds good! You can shop online through their website, or you can look and see where New England Coffee is carried near you. And here's the best part... you can get an 11oz bag for only $5.49 (for flavored coffee)! So stock up for your holiday parties!

Good Earth Tea Review

Good Earth^® is dedicated to brewing goodness into each and every cup of our delicious teas, 

ensuring a purity and authenticity in a wide variety of blends.

One of the first American herbal companies and a leader in specialty tea, Good Earth^® Teas are simply about taste. Our aim is to bring you full flavored, healthy teas from around the world. We use top quality ingredients in unique combinations to give you richer, more flavorful teas to savor every day.

I love to drink tea in the winter. I feel like it warms your whole body while giving off a subtle scent that relaxes you. This past weekend I was in the mood for tea every day. It was bitter cold and we were all home relaxing. So I broke out my boxes of Good Earth Tea that I received for review. 

Our award-winning Good Earth® Original™ Sweet & Spicy™ Tea & Herb Blend is a deliciously full-bodied blend of tea and herbs. The rich aroma and notes of zesty California oranges will capture your senses, from the first sip to the last. Deliciously sweet, with no added sugar, honest. On hot days we think it's amazing over ice.

I like to drink my tea black, so a nice strong flavor is nice. However, I don't like my tea to be too strong. I also enjoy a little additional flavor besides just the tea leaves. I often drink herbal teas with fruit, or some kind of spice. So when I poured a cup of their Original tea and could immediately smell the spices I was excited. The spices were very fragrant, so I was happy to find that the tea didn't taste as strong as it smelled. The tea was smooth and relaxing. I enjoyed a cup each night and look forward to more!

You can purchase Good Earth Tea at most major retailers or online.
