Monster Energy Supercross #stlouis

Last evening we went to the Monster Energy AMA Supercorss event. I didn't know what to expect since we had never been before but it was so fun. We had pretty good seats and we could see everything. I wish I had brought my better camera but I got some pretty decent shots. This was the start of the first race.

It wasn't that loud but there was entertainment every minute that we were there and it was very exciting. The kids were sitting on their edge of their seats during all of the races. 

They even had a little kid race and they were ages 6-7 so cute!

They did a little race and they even gave trophies it was so sweet.

On the last 2 races they even had fire!

From start to finish it was about 4 hours long and we had a great time the entire time. The kids had alot of fun and so did Danny and I.I would definitely recommend going to  event in your area or again next year it is so much fun for the whole family.

Beech-Nut New Products

I was selected to help promote and try out Beech-Nut's newest baby foods. I love Beech-Nut and we already use their products in our home for the baby. You can buy their products at most grocery stores. I was sent 4 products to try out here is the amazing gift we tried.

It was all packed in this nice wooden box that I will be saving for later and inside was this....

Here is some facts about their company:

At Beech-Nut, we believe in real, honest food for babies. That’s why we’re here: to make baby food
with the best ingredients nature has to offer.
Beech-Nut food for babies is made with natural ingredients. That means no artificial colors, flavors,
or preservatives. Beech-Nut takes out everything moms don’t want, and leaves in the essential
nutrients that babies need.
Moms have trusted Beech-Nut for the nourishment of their babies since 1931. We are a family-
owned company with several generations of the same families working together. We partner with our
growers to harvest the highest quality, most nutritious, best-tasting ingredients, from our families 
to yours.
Beech-Nut, the number two leading baby food brand in the U.S., is a subsidiary of Hero AG of
Lenzburg, Switzerland, an international leader in consumer goods and infant feeding.

Now about their new products and packaging:

Why feed your baby anything you wouldn’t eat yourself?
•  Homemade is our inspiration for our new line. Just real, whole fruits and vegetables (and
sometimes ancient grains and beans) are inside our new jars. And nothing else.
•  Homemade baby food is the gold standard for most moms, because moms know exactly
what’s in it and what’s not. They know it is real food, not a list of additives and preservatives.
But, not all moms have the time or ability to make their own food.
•  Beech-Nut makes real food for babies that is closest to homemade. Our food contains no
additives, no preservatives and nothing artificial. Our new line is 100 percent natural.
•  Beech-Nut uses innovative technology to create baby food that is unlike anything else on
store shelves. Our just gentle cooking™ method ensures the freshness of our fruits and
vegetables, without adding water, so our food is never over-processed.
•  Beech-Nut uses only the freshest fruits and vegetables that look, smell and taste exactly like
what they are, so moms know exactly what their babies are eating.
Try our delicious new flavors for yourself
•  We have 40 delicious new flavors with foods like pomegranate, avocado, papaya and beets.
We select only the highest quality varieties of fruits and vegetables, like Honeycrisp apples,
Bartlett pears and Haas avocados.

•  Just a few of our new lavors…
•  just honeycrisp apple
•  just sugarsnap peas
•  just mango, kiwi & papaya
•  just mango, apple & avocado
•  beets, pear & pomegranate
•  just pear, raspberry & asparagus
•  just apple & aronia berry
•  spinach, zucchini & quinoa
Pricing and Availability
•  Our new Beech-Nut line will be available in stores, including Wal-Mart, Kroger, Meijer and
Publix, in spring 2014.
•  Visit our website, www.beechnut.com, for more information about our flavors and to the
new Beech-Nut line in your neighborhood.
•  The suggested retail price of a 4.25oz bottle is $1.09.

 

We tried out their Just Spinach, Zucchini & Peas, Just HoneyCrisp Apple, Just Carrots, and Beets Pear and Pomegranate.

 

 

These are great and I was really impressed with the packaging and I am always happy with items that have simple ingredients and things that I know about and only what is actually inside.

Three Must-Have, Eco-Friendly Sandals for Spring

For many people, winter has been remarkably cold and long, so it may be difficult to imagine spring will ever return, while dreaming about it incessantly. One great way to beat the winter blues is by thinking forward to spring and choosing some must-have items to add to your wardrobe when winter finally melts and spring rules again. A good pedicure and high-quality sandal will usher in spring and carry you into summer. The best sandals are comfortable and versatile – casual enough to throw on for a trip to the beach, yet formal enough to wear with a beautiful maxi skirt or knee-length dress. Here are a few great options from Reef, which creates shoes made with water-based glues and are free of PVC.

Reef Shaded Palms

A unique favorite in all Reef’s shoes, this Roman-style sandal features a beautiful leather weave design that adds versatility to its appearance. Unlike most flat sandals, Reef sandals feature a padded leather deck with arch and heel support to create comfort as well as style. Wear them with linen pants, short skirts, long skirts, or even shorts. Slightly Bohemian, these sandals are hippie-chic and go with just about anything.

Reef Twisted Stars

If you’re looking for a simple, straightforward flip-flop, look no further. Reef has a variety of classic flip-flops, and one favorite is Reef Twisted Stars. The simple strap on this sandal features a braided, gold glitter strap that adds a touch of glitz and romance to any outfit. The glitter adds to the versatility of this sandal. Dress it up or down for a unique, beautiful look.

Guatemalan Knot

If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, the Guatemalan Knot features bright colors that will add a splash of pizzazz to many outfits. Best of all, the strap is made out of hand-woven textiles from Guatemala, providing jobs for local artisans. This style offers Reef’s signature sole, offering comfort that goes beyond the quality of a typical sandal. Available in a few different color choices, the Guatemala Knot is a great addition to your wardrobe and offers years of durability and style.
