Kleenex Pocket Packs helps out during cold and flu season! @Crowdtap #sponsored @kleenex #Kleenexcares #KleenexBrandBelievers

Disclosure: I am a member of the Crowdtap Kleenex Cares program and Kleenex® sent me coupons to review this product.

They are not called tissues, they are called Kleenex in my home. I have been calling them that since I was a little kid. My mom always did too and my sisters. We still all do. I know some people who would object but so be it. I love my Kleenex® Brand’s tissue products  I was recently chosen to sample newly re-designed Kleenex Pocket Packs and I was curious to see those new designs. I love the Pocket Packs.

The Kleenex brand has always been in my house from the time I was little. I rarely stray from it no matter what my friends do. The worst is when you go to someone's house and they have the cheapie brand of "tissues." Ewwww!  Nothing worse than those things. Even when I was really young and just out in the workforce I still spent a tiny bit extra for my Kleenex.  Kleenex have been part of my life for good and bad...all those broken relationships 100 years ago,  it was a real challenge that dating and who didn't cry a few tears? I was so happy when I met my husband because it was clear he was a keeper. Kleenex was even in the ladies lounge basket at our wedding...my mom made sure of that.

I couldn't wait for the samples to arrive.  My daughter always has Pocket Packs in her school backpack and I always have them in my purse and my car. I am a huge Kleenex fan and just love these adorable Kleenex pocket packs. The messages make them even more meaningful than ever. They are the perfect size to stash in a purse or tote. The designs are totally on trend and make it easy to locate a pack in an emergency...a sneezing fit qualifies fully! The tissues are soft and strong...just what I always expect from Kleenex too. Every day we’re presented with opportunities to show we care. The Pocket Packs makes it easy. 

 

Kleenex® Brand makes it easy to never miss an opportunity to show someone you care, especially when it comes to everyday moments like a fall sneeze. Kleenex is on a mission to prove that we all care about one another. Hand a friend or a stranger a Kleenex® Facial Tissue this fall. Kleenex brand launched these cute newly designed Pocket Packs that feature caring messages that will uplift you and the ones you love. You can even write and share your own message of care on select packs! Hop on over to the nearest store and check them out. We love the new messages.

Rhodes Quick, Easy, & Delicious Party with Rhodes Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls @Tryazon @rhodesbread #Tryazon #Rhodesbread

The weather is turning chillier with the fall leaves rolling in. The time is perfect for baking and a warm cup of coffee with frothed milk. This is the time of year I enjoy having friends and family over to spend time together and bake up some warm treats in my oven or microwave. I love the scent of fresh baked cinnamon rolls but who doesn't. I was really excited when I found out that I would be working with Tryazon and Rhodes Dough to share about my experiences with a new product that is easy as 1-2-3 even for new bakers. 

There is nothing better good friends and family and yummy snacks on a Sunday morning!  Rhodes Bake ‘N Serv is a company that has been around for years and years. I remember learning how to bake years ago with my friend John using Rhodes Dough.  Even if you are a novice baker you will see they have options that make baking a real cinch. 

Rhodes Dough just launched something new--Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls--these are perfect for busy mamas. They are slowly making their way into stores like Walmart and Stop & Shop so keep checking your locations....I bet you will be seeing them soon. If you have a tiny bit more time they have an oven baked version of gooey cream cheese frosted Cinnamon Rolls as well. Rhodes make more than just Cinnamon Rolls though....If you are looking for a special roll to accompany a more formal dinner they make my favorite traditional soft and buttery dinner rolls which add a special touch to any table. They have a variety of dough that you can use to create all kinds of delicious recipes. Rhodes has dough that works for all kinds of meals, appetizers and seasons. The best part is how simple all their products are to bake whether you are using a microwave or traditional oven. I love how Rhodes Dough can be incorporated in hundreds of great recipes from appetizers to desserts. Take a peek at this yummy Blueberry Coffee Cake below!
 

Rhodes Bread believes that special does not need to be complicated unless you really want it to!  You can find all kinds of recipes on their websites that will fit perfectly into your holidays from Halloween to Christmas and even Hanukkah and New Years Eve. Rhodes understands that busy moms like me enjoy cooking and baking but we are sometimes limited with time between work, kids, activities and life.  Rhodes Bread make it easy to be a gourmet cook and host family, friends and even colleagues anytime with delicious treats that are ready in a flash. Take a peek at all the recipes and you can share the goodness with friends like I did. 

We had so much fun at my brunch today! I was surprised at how easy it was. I could not locate their newest innovation the microwave version of the Cinnamon Rolls but It was a pleasure to make the traditional Rhodes  Cinnamon Rolls since they came together so quickly. My guests were impressed and thought it would be fun to do around the holidays. I am excited to find the microwave version over the next few weeks in stores by me. I like the traditional one though...it gave us more time to catch up and chat. Clean up was a breeze as well. You can do so much with these Cinnamon Rolls and add your own special touch. 

Here is what I received for my party: 

• Free coupon for Rhodes Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls
• 10 $1.00 off Rhodes coupons for my guests
• Rhodes Oven Mitt

I spent some time on the Rhodes Bread Pinterest pages and on their website. I have looked there before and found recipes but I was amazed this time at the variety of options that they had. All of the Rhodes Bread recipes were fairly easy to replicate even if you were a novice baker. The instructions were simple and straight forward for all the recipes. You don't need to be running to specialty stores when you are making recipes using Rhodes Bread products because they use simple, delicious but easy to find ingredients.  The recipes call for fresh or canned fruits, dairy options like sour cream always cheat and use fat free Greek yogurt!), cream cheese, sugar, flour and grated cheeses which let you create delicious appetizers, main dishes and desserts everyone will enjoy. 

I have always found that prepping ahead makes a party so much easier. Perhaps you have more time than I do so just see what works for you when you are having guests over. Some people work great on the fly. So I prep a day or two in advance and get all my shopping done if that works for you and that way you can relax like I did on party day. The only thing I needed to do was show the guests how easy it was to make delicious cinnamon rolls with almost no work at all. Take a peek at Rhodes Bread and stock up your freezer with rolls and dough in advance of your next party or get together. The holiday season is going to be here before you know it and you will have the base for tons of quick recipes so you will never be empty handed.
