The Traveling Sisterhood: July 2016

Freshly Food Giveaway! 3 Winners Will Receive a Box of All-Natural Food!


Prepare for a mouth-watering post, my readers, because these meals are so so so delicious!

 Freshly makes gourmet ready-made meals. Freshly prepared by their chef, and then freshly delivered! Would you believe....

...these are microwaved?!

I did a sneaky test on my hubby. I microwaved his first Freshly meal and didn't tell him until he had eaten it! It was one of their salmon meals and he loved it and couldn't believe it was microwaved! He was very impressed. And of course so was I! They definitely live up to their name, and so I ordered additional meals for us even after receiving my review package... which is a rarity--I only do that when I really love something!

This is their Pecan Pesto Chicken. Their chefs only cook with all-natural ingredients free of gluten, refined sugars, and artificial flavors.

Three of you will win a box of 6 Freshly meals of your choice! You'll be able to choose from 20 different meals including a variety of breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner. The only thing is, the winners will have to pay a shipping cost of $10.
 
Enter below by August 4 at 11 pm. Remember, the winners will receive 6 free meals (a $59 value) but you will have to pay the shipping of $10.
Special thanks to Freshly for providing me with these products to review and giveaway. All opinions are honest and my own.

Little Passports 3 Month Giveaway!



My kids love Little Passports! This is a pic of what we got the first month--a fun and big USA Scratch Book with around 12 pictures inside--enough for each of my kiddos to do 3 of them, a giant US Map, a notebook, a sturdy case to keep the items in and put the next month's items in when they come, a cute letter from their "pen pals" who are taking them on these adventures, and a disposable camera. The camera... you guys, my kids were like "What is this, Mom?" They'd only ever seen a digital camera! I said, "Oh, that's the old-fashioned kind of camera that doesn't show you the pictures until you develop them! It was great. When you sign up, you get to pick if you want a pre-k, World, or USA Edition. This is the USA edition, and we'll be starting the World Edition in July.

Here's a pic of the total of what will be included in the 3 months, though you may get different states from these. Each month has a cool book which features 2 states with great pictures, activities, fun stuff to learn, stickers, a postcard, and something special to build for each state. I really love it and my kids are learning so much! It's an exciting day when our Little Passports come in the mail!
One of you will win a 3-month gift subscription! Enter below by August 4 at 11 pm. Also, if you're a blogger and sign up for the Little Passports free affiliate program, you'll also get a 3 month subscription! Best of luck!

Cricut is celebrating Christmas in July with HUGE price cuts! The sale will run through midnight July 22nd, and will offer savings reminiscent of annual black Friday deals. They have 40% off tons of materials and supplies and clearance items starting at .99!
Maybe you're like I was a few months ago when I didn't even realize how many cool things a Cricut could do. My best friends recently bought one and said I could borrow it for a few days which I'm really looking forward to! Just in case you're wondering what exactly you can make with one, here are a few of the projects I want to make in the very near future...

The Cricut can cut literally 60 different materials! These are simple cardstock and so cute! They have patterns you can use in Design Space or you can create your own.


Mailbox art. I love this!

Shadow puppets!

And a theatre for them. Aren't these cool?! You'll find all of these patterns in Cricut's Design Space under "Kids Projects".

You can even cut iron on materials with Cricut. I love this heart shirt, except I'd made the heart all black. I had a shirt just like this in high school and it was one of my favorites.

And gloves! How cute are these?! My daughters will love them. Of course, these aren't on my list of things to do right away but definitely filing this idea away for later.

I love their paper roses and bouquet projects. They're gorgeous! And I will never forget to water them. ;)

This is just so pretty--I'd love to make something like this for my mom's birthday.
There are all kinds of cute patterns for boxes....

...and cards. Of course, once you get the hang of it, the possibilites are limited only by your imagination. You can find all of these patterns and more in Cricut Design Space. Cricut Access is $10 a month and you get access to over 1,000 projects! Of course, you don't need that to come up with your own patterns and ideas.
If you've been wanting to purchase a Cricut or need some goodies to go along with the one you already have, definitely check out Cricut's Christmas in July Sale and save big! Let me know if you find anything we should all know about!

Kahiki Food Giveaway!


Orange Chicken, Beef & Broccoli, and Chicken-Fried Rice... out of the bag but tasted like homemade! Everyone loved it--we were so impressed with Kahiki! Their slogan is "Real Asian, Real Simple" and it fits them perfectly.
You can easily find Kahiki products in Wal-Mart's frozen section or in most grocers. I got mine at Wal-Mart where they had a huge selection of single-serve, microwaveable meals and ready-to-heat family-sized meals. I chose the three above.

The food was all very easy to prepare. The orange chicken was heated in the oven, while the other 2 were heated on the stove. I added a side of simple white rice to the orange chicken and it was perfection! It was definitely my favorite dish of the three. My mom's favorite was the chicken and rice. Everything was yummy!

One of you will win your choice of Kahiki meal! Enter below by July 25th at 11 pm anyone's time.

Special thanks to the wonderful people at Kahiki for providing us with this opportunity.  All opinions are honest and our own.

SoCozy Hair Care Giveaway! Salon Products for Kids to Inspire Perfectly Soft, Beautiful Hair



You may have noticed a lull in my blogging lately. We've been on vacation and had a wonderful time! We took some new hair products with us and soon you'll see why...

The kids had a blast at the resort pool! But I was super thankful I had SoCozy's salon quality swim products for kids!

Their 3-in-1 product is shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in one. It smells like mango, is non-toxic (no joke), and tear-free. It had keratin to strengthen, protect, and smooth; vitamin b5 to nurture, hydrate, and shine, and kiwi extract to condition, moisturize, and soften.
SoCozy's product line is salon hair care for kids. And these products really are salon-quality! They're wonderful and I have tried them myself. I especially love the detangler because my daughters' hair just gets so tangled, especially after swimming. As you can see, my oldest daughter's hair was looking gorgeous after using it.

SoCozy has a variety of products for every hair type from curly to straight, long to short; and for different activities from swimming to just plain living. My daughters and I all love them!
Where to Get Them
You can find the SoCozy product line at Target, SoCozy.com, Target.com, and CVS.com!

Enter below by July 25th at 11 pm. One of you will receive a variety of full size products from SoCozy!

Lucy Pet Products Giveaway! Dog or Cat Prize, Winner's Choice!

Lucy Pet Products were some of our favorites at Blog Paws this year so I'm totally excited to bring you all a giveaway! You'll love reading about this company, which gives all of its proceeds to saving dogs and cats.

The Lucy Pet Foundation is a non-profit created by Joey Herrick, the previous president and co-founder of Natural Balance Pet Food. He sold his very successful company to Del Monte not very long ago and needed something new to do, and really wanted to start a non-profit so he created The Lucy Pet Foundation. Of course, they had me at "Lucy"! But when they told me that all of their profits go toward saving dogs and cats from euthanasia, that impressed me. I spoke to Mr. Herrick at length. He was so nice, sincere, and down to earth.
And the Lucy products are incredible! They offer wonderful shampoos and spray-on conditioners (I use their blueberry on Lucy and she is so soft afterward and her fur smells so nice!) and cat litter that doesn't smell (for real, this guy, Little Box Bob, walked around for 4 days wearing a used litterbox and you couldn't smell a thing!) I'm not even exaggerating a bit, you guys.   
The line-up of puppy products. We tried sample sizes of Big Apple, Pup a Dub Dub, and Blue Lightning Blueberry. The blueberry is my favorite. Lucy's fur is so soft and she smells amazing!   If you win and would like the dog prize, you'll receive 2 full size bottles in your favorite scent!
If you win and receive the cat prize, you'll get a box of the unscented "Superkittyattackalizmik" Klumping Litter that looks just like this! How cool is that?!  It's designed to be easy to pour. I love that!

My Lucy after having been using the Lucy Pet shampoo and grooming conditioner for about a month. You can see how soft she looks! It really is wonderful! I never realized just how much softer her fur could be until I started using these.

WHERE TO GET THEM
You can find Lucy Pet Products at Petco and local pet stores

One of you will win your choice--full size shampoo and detangler for your pooch in your choice or scent, or a giant package of cat litter!  Enter below by 11 pm on July 25th
