You know those little squeezable apple sauce packets that you can buy that are great for traveling and diaper bag packing, but horrible for your wallet? My kids LOVE those. My almost three-year-old will eat three or four in one sitting if I’ll let him. Sometimes those things cost more than a dollar each, so that can get kinda spendy. I’ve been looking into getting some refillable ones for awhile, but wasn’t sure which company to go for. That’s why I was excited to get a chance to review Yummi Pouch’s product. 

Yummi Pouch is a company based out of Issaquah, Washington that makes reusable and refillable food pouches. The make three different sizes.

The smallest size, the Mini, holds up to 2.5 ounces of food, and are great for babies who don’t eat too much in a single serving. I found that my kids can use these things (with help) as young as 9 months. Yummi Pouch also sells a spoon attachment to make feeding the baby food a breeze. 

The next size comes in bright fun colors, or plain white, Yummi Pouch Brights, says it holds 6 ounces of food. Brights comes in a few different fun colors, which my kids love. It also makes it easier for me to remember whose is whose when I give one to each kid. The spout on this one comes out the side instead of the top. I’m not sure if I like that better or not, or if it even makes a difference. These ones are for sure easier to fill. 

The third style is the largest pouch. It’s called the Yummi Pouch Sport and it holds up to 10 ounces. This one is designed for the on-the-go type. It makes a great water bottle for little kids, and takes up no room when it’s empty. I put water in it for my kids, and it didn’t work out too well (water is too easy to squeeze right out the spout). It would be a great one to fill with food for a long car trip though. 

I have to say that I didn’t think I would like these when I first got them. I figured they would be hard to fill, hard to clean, etc. Not true. While you do need to be careful when you clean them (it’s easy for food to get left behind), they really aren’t that difficult to clean. And, they are dishwasher safe (although a dishwasher, at least mine, doesn’t get them clean). I also feel like the dishwasher sort of breaks them down a little bit. I avoid washing them too often in the dishwasher, but it’s nice to know I can throw them in once in awhile. 

You can purchase these pouches on the Yummi Pouch store or on Amazon. I highly recommend them. I know I will be buying more. If you buy them on the Yummi Pouch website and use the code PARTY4YP, you’ll get 10% off. They have lots of great kits to get you started.

Be sure to like Yummi Pouch on Facebook and follow them on Twitter to stay up to date on all their new products.  
 

 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.

Every time we move I ask my husband if I can buy a return address stamp. Every time he reminds me that we are going to most likely be moving soon, so there is no point in buying one. But this move is different! We could be at this house up to five years, so I figured that is a long enough time to justify buying the stamp. Imagine my joy when I found a great company that makes stamps for a reasonable price.

Vino Backyard Designs is a company that is run by a very nice lady named Victoria. Victoria is a nurse by day and a business owner by night. She never thought in a million years she would be running a business, but she is loving it.  She says that there is something new to discover every day and its been such an amazing experience.  She started her business a little over a year ago with a little push from her boyfriend and it has been growing ever since.  She really tries to focus on good customer service and a great product.  Her stamps are her best seller and one of her personal favorites.  For every stamp order she receive, she makes a proof and sends it out to the customer within 24-48 hours for approval.  How’s that for quick service? 

I love the stamp Victoria made for me. I was going to take a few pictures of it, but decided I didn’t want you all to have my address… but here is a picture of how the stamp was sent to me. How’s that for a pretty package. I really love the wood sign with my name on it. It’s the perfect size for a key chain and I never ever find anything with my name on it so I was really excited about that part.

Here are some example pictures Victoria sent me: 

Aren’t those the best? 

Victoria also sells custom signs, engraved journal covers (which I LOVE), infinity scarves, wedding tags, and more on her etsy shop. 

Victoria and I have decided to team up and run an awesome giveaway for any of my readers who want to participate. The winner gets his or her very own monogrammed address stamp. Plus, Victoria has created a coupon code just for the you. Use the code AMOUSE2014 to receive 10% off anything on her etsy shop. 

Good luck to all of you!

When I was in high school, prom dress shopping was NOT fun for me. Finding a prom dress that was modest and a reasonable price AND my style was pretty much impossible. I have to admit that a lot of the time, I ended up in a not-so-modest dress because that was all I could find. I wish internet shopping had been as prominent then as it was now. The possibilities for a perfect dress would have been endless. Luckily, the choices are now literally endless. I wanted to share with you one great place to look for cheap prom dresses, Dress First.

 www.dressfirst.com is a great website with over 750 prom dresses, among other formal dress for all different kinds of occasions. While many of them are not what I would call modest, check out a few of my favorites (click on a dress to be taken to the webpage): 

All of these dresses can be ordered in many colors. I love how elegant they look. I would have died to have been able to wear something like this in high school. And none of them are more than $200. Many of their dresses have free shipping, which is great! And, if you’re only planning on wearing a dress once, you can always sell it after the dance to get some or all of your money back. 

Be sure to check out the wedding dresses, evening dress, and holiday dresses as well. They are all stunning.
