Pumpkin Spice Snack Review

Image
***UPDATED9/2/23*** On our most recent YouTube Live, we each brought to the table a Pumpkin Spice snack. We love our snacks, so why not try new and different snack foods to review and share our thoughts with you. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 We started out with a cup of coffee and used  Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer . We decided that depending on how strong your coffee is, how much flavor comes through. I thought it was not creamy enough and we all thought we could taste the Pumpkin Spice flavor.  You can find it at Walmart for $4.26 1 pint. Watch our review here . (place of purchase and price has been updated) 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 The next item we tried was  Good & Gather Date and Nut Bars . The date flavor comes out right away and the spices were there right along with them. They were soft and chewy. We all agreed they were a  delicious fall treat.  You can find them at Target  for $4.29 - 5 bars.   NO L...

Food and Drink Review of Pringles and French Soda

Image
Recently, on our last YouTube LIVE show , we taste tested Pringles potato chips and French Soda. The Sparkling French Soda comes in a variety of flavors and Kelly chose the Pear Cardamom.  From the Alsace region in France, their soda is made using a traditional artisan recipe starting with natural spring water. Sweet and tart lemon flavor with a hint of pear and aromatic cardamom characterizes this light, crisp drink that's gently carbonated and low in sugar. Price $3.99. REVIEW:   The soda isn't overly sparkly and it has a light flavor. We thought it to be a refreshing drink. Kelly particularly likes the bottle because it's reusable. Fill it with whatever your heart desires. You can find our YouTube review here . World Market Our next product is the Pringles Potato Chips. The Dill Pickle Pringles were a hit with us all. These were bought at Walmart for $1.53.  Pringles REVIEW : Right off the bat they smelled like dill pickles and tasted dilly with that sour note t...

Ingredients for the BBQ: Chicken, used three chicken breasts BBQ sauce, your choice Hamburger buns Instructions: Rinse the chicken and cover with water with a pinch of salt in a crockpot on high.

DIY Over the Door Sign

Image
This DIY over the door sign is simple and a quick way to decorate over any door in your house. I was looking for some scripture signs to put over two open doorways in our home and after researching, I thought why not make them. I have a Cricut Explore Air & vinyl, all I needed was the wood and paint. I found the unfinished wood at Home Depot.  I bought two 1 in. x 4 in. x 39” Spruce/Pine/Fir Common Board Bed Slats @ $2.96 a piece.  The paint I bought at Walmart, Waverly Inspirations Ultra Matte White for $6.54.  The vinyl I used was Cricut removable vinyl . It actually wasn’t easy to remove when I made a mistake, that was disappointing.  The 2” font was Courgette and I cut black vinyl. I had to make it fit on the 12” x 12” vinyl sheet. After cutting it out with my Cricut Explore Air, I cut sections of the words and used transfer paper to adhere to the painted wood.  As far as the removeable vinyl goes, it didn’t want to remove when I made a mistake. OOPS! ...
