Organic Valley Singles Sampling Party

I was excited to hear that our Moms group was chosen to participate through Green Moms Meet in a sampling party for Organic Valley American Singles.  Everyone was excited to try some of the samples and my home cooking!  I thought it would be fun to make some quesadillas since those are a family favorite in my house already.  They were a big hit with the kids and the adults. I put out toppings and dips like salsa, chives and sour cream to make them even more fun. 

Everyone really loved the flavor of Organic Valley and agreed it was healthier for the kids.  Many of my mom friends shop at Whole Foods and several had already been purchasing Organic Valley for a while. Others had not tried it but they were impressed. They agreed that it was a tasty option for school lunches and everyday snacking!

Organic Valley American Singles are made with milk produced from pasture-fed cows and are an excellent source of easily absorbed calcium, as well as a good source of protein, phosphorous, and riboflavin.

Organic Valley American Singles come from a block of mild, high-moisture, organic, Colby-style cheese, which is pre-sliced and ready to go for your convenience. The slices are easy to separate, too, thanks to 100% biodegradable slips of wax-parchment (instead of the individually plastic-wrapped slices other cheese manufacturers use).

Organic Valley American Singles are certified organic and made from milk produced without antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides.

Organic Valley American Singles have 12 slices per 8-ounce package and retail for approximately $5.69.


Back in 1988, Organic Valley’s seven founding farmers believed America’s families deserved the best, most nutritious foods. Today, the more than 1,700 farm families of Organic Valley pledge to produce the highest quality organic foods. Their hard work has resulted in pasture-based organic milk products that deliver 128% more omega-3 fatty acids than natural and conventional milks. Organic Valley also offers award-winning milk, soy, cheeses, butter, spreads, creams, yogurt, eggs, produce, and juice.

Organic Valley American Singles are available at Whole Foods Market and other natural food stores, as well as many conventional grocery stores.  You can get connected with them on Facebook and Twitter

Donna Karan WOMAN fragrance collection-perfect for #Christmas

I recently discovered a beautiful new fragrance from Donna Karan thanks to my relationship with The Vogue Influencer Network.  I came home the other day to a wonderful surprise...a beautifully wrapped package with three generous size samples of Donna Karan WOMAN in my mailbox to try and share with friends! I always love surprises like this and who wouldn't?  It is a lovely scent perfect for fall.  It is a fascinating combination of creamy orange flower blended with the deeper scents of Haitian Vetiver and Sandalwood.  You have to try it for yourself. You can find out more at DONNAKARAN.  It is priced reasonably enough for a tiny splurge ranging from $45.00-$115.00.  Perfect for a Christmas gift or even a generous Secret Santa gift!

Discover the new fragrance inspired by all that a woman is. A fragrance created for women. By women. Feminine and sensual. The strength and softness of women is expressed through creamy notes of orange flower that delicately wrap the confident signature core of Haitian Vetiver and Sandalwood.

Littlest Pet Shop Viewing Party @HubTVNetwork The Hub

My little one was so excited that we were chosen to host an exclusive sneak peek Viewing Party for the newest series, "Littlest Pet Shop," from The Hub TV Network. It will be premiering on Saturday November 10th at 11am EST/8am PST. 
 
    
We received a wonderful box of goodies for all the guests including:
    • 10 Littlest Pet Shop Chap Sticks
    • 10 Brush/Mirror combos
    • 10 Masks with the strings
    • Littlest Pet Shop Screener DVD with Ep 101 &102 Blythe's Big Adventure Parts
The "Littlest Pet Shop" series introduces girls to young Blythe Baxter who moves to
an apartment in the big city with her dad above the Littlest Pet Shop.  It is an amazing
daycamp for pets of all kinds! There is a panda a gecko, and even a crazy little mongoose. I almost forgot about the hedgehog too.
The real adventure begins in the first episode when Blythe discovers she can actually talk with all the animals!  The pets are tiny, but their bigger than life personalities lead  to crazy pop music-inspired song and dance sequences. The second episode begins with the pets enlisting Blythe to help save the beloved Littlest Pet Shop from going out of business!  Blythe uses her fashion design skills to host a pet fashion show to try to save the day. That was also an exciting episode that the girls loved.


The animated  half-hour comedy series is produced by Hasbro Studios.  All of the guests  
really loved both episodes. We also received a bonus promo for the "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic" premiere. They got very excited about that too.  We played the DVD's more than once while the girls applied and reapplied their
"Littlest Pet Shop" flavored Chapsticks and brushed and styled their hair. Of course there was plenty of primping with the mirrors too!  They horsed around with the "Littlest Pet Shop" masks too and just had a ball.    


We gathered some fun fashions and the girls created some outrageous outfits for Blythe's Fashion Show and took turns walking down the "runway" to some great tunes. The girls were dancing away all afternoon and then sat down for a craft activity called Minka's Masterpiece.  We gave them paints, paint brushses markers, crayons, pencils, glue, tape and some other things like pom poms along with paper. We let them go wild with creativity like Minka does and they came up with some pretty pieces of artwork.

They really enjoyed all the yummy snacks I provided including Sunil's Magically Disappearing Trail Mix (so easy to make with Cheerios, pretzels, mini marshmallows, raisins and chocolate chips!), Littlest Pet Shop Pink Lemonade (frozen lemonade concentrate blended with fresh watermelon chunks) and Chocolate Popcorn (mix chocolate chips with hot, fresh popcorn).    

I am sure this series is going to be a big hit for little girls. All the moms thought
it was so cute and fun.   The pets have very distinctive and sweet little voices and sayings. They love the word "like" and repeat it a lot.  I bet it will be all the rage in school in the coming weeks
Don't forget to tune it to The Hub TV network on Saturdays at 11am EST/8am PST and see for yourself. You can follow them on Twitter and Facebook too.

I received complimentary party supplies and DVD's through MommyParties.  The event was sponsored by “Littlest Pet Shop” and the Hub TV Network. As always, all opinions are my own.
