I was recently given the opportunity to review the Ninja Precision Processor and Spiralizer. You will want to stay tuned as this product will also be featured as one of the Top Picks of my Holiday Gift Guide! I am a huge fan of the Ninja brand and their products, so I was thrilled to try this!

The Ninja Precision Processor and Spiralizer handles everything from chopping and mixing to dough making and pureeing! I particularly love it for spiralizing veggies as I eat Zucchini noodles several times a week! The Auto-Spiralizer includes spaghetti and fettuccine blade discs to create versatile veggie noodles so this is perfect for me. I was so surprised at just how easy this was to use. I was able to spiralize my “zoodles” in just seconds! This is such a time-saver!

I can see myself uisng the Ninja Precision Processor and Spiralizer for so many things! I can’t wait to try it for Chicken Salad, Salsas and even dough! This will allow me to tackle a wide variety of meal-making tasks with just one base. This will definitely come in handy for the holiday season!

I am thrilled to feature the Ninja Precision Processor and Spiralizer as one of the top picks in my Holiday Gift Guide and I know that you will love it as well.

Everything is Awesome at the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat!

Disclosure: I received a discounted stay to the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat in exchange for my honest review and opinions.Please see my disclosure policy)

Earlier this summer, my family and I had the opportunity to visit LEGOLAND and the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat. Nestled alongside a small lake near the LEGOLAND Park, LEGOLAND Beach Retreat features a village-style layout with 83 beach-themed bungalows offering 166 separate rooms, each with whimsical LEGO décor inside and out. The brightly colored bungalows are grouped into 13 sections, each named after a popular LEGO Minifigure.

Everything at the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat is definitely awesome! From the moment that we stepped onto the retreat, we were amazed at just how bricktacular that everything was! If your kiddos love LEGOS, this is the place for them! After a busy day at the park, head back to the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat for a time of fun and relaxation centered all around LEGOS!

The bungalows at the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat are side by side mini hotel suites. Each bungalow has its own porch with a table and chairs for you to sit and relax. There is even a playground located right in the center so that the kiddos can play while you sit back and take in the views.

As you enter your bungalow, you will notice right away all of the fun murals on the walls depicting all of your favorite LEGO characters. My boys had fun telling me each of the characters names as we walked around the bungalow. The main sleeping area is the center of the room. It is then surrounded by the bathroom and a smaller room with bunk beds. There is plenty of storage and a nice big TV to enjoy some movies or shows after a long day! I also loved the small coffee maker that was in the room….perfect for my morning coffee fix!

My boys loved the smaller room that housed the bunk beds. It was divided from the rest of the bungalow by a curtain which allowed for privacy from the main area. The bunk beds also had a trundle bed that pulled out which makes for plenty of room. You could comfortably sleep 3-4 little ones in this room with no problem.

The bathroom was also quite roomy. I love how every detail of the bungalow is all about LEGOS. Even the bathroom was all decked out with the colorful bricks! From the shower curtain to the tiles on the wall, you can’t help but smile while you are taking a shower!

In the morning, I decided to wake up before everyone else to sit on the porch and read. Look at the beautiful sunrise that I enjoyed right from the front porch of our bungalow! It was a spectacular sight and I will remember it for years to come!

After my hubby and boys woke up, we headed down to the Lighthouse, an area that houses Sandy’s Castle Restaurant. We could not wait to enjoy a big hearty breakfast! One of the perks that I really like about the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat is that breakfast is included with your stay! It is a full self-serve breakfast buffet which has items that your entire family is sure to love! From pancakes to bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs and fruit, everything is delicious! I even met the head chef Bridget, and she is such a spectacular person who really cares about the quality and availability of the food that is being served. In addition to breakfast, you can also enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner. We enjoyed dinner the night that we arrived to the retreat, and the prices were very reasonable. They offer a fun menu of salads, sandwiches, pizzas and more.

Also available at the Lighthouse is Brick’s Beach Bar, Palm Tree Traders retail store and a giant sandcastle-themed LEGO building area for kids. My boys loved the sandcastle-themed LEGO area and did not want to leave. And, of course, we had to buy souvenirs! 

After breakfast, we decided to head to the Beach Retreat Pool to cool off before heading out. The Beach Retreat Pool is the largest themed pool at LEGOLAND Florida Resort and highlights an outdoor oasis filled with a sandy area perfect for building sandcastles and a giant play structure for kids. Around the pool, regular activities will include dance parties, bean bag toss, hula hoop contests, volleyball, Red Light Green Light, Hot Potato, chalk art competitions, sandcastle build show-and-tell and “Master Builder” competitions with large LEGO soft bricks. My boys went crazy over the large LEGO soft bricks! They are so much fun! I really like that the lifeguards at the pool seek to engage the children in activities all while helping to maintain their safety. That is a huge plus for me!

We had such an amazing time at the LEGOLAND Beach Retreat and we are looking forward to going back very soon! I highly recommend it to anyone, especially the LEGO fans in your life! You will have an awesome time!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not Orlando

Disclosure: I received tickets to this attraction in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.Please see my disclosure policy) 

This summer, my family and I headed over to Orlando for a relaxing and fun family vacation. One of the things that I love most about living in the Tampa bay area of Florida is that we are within hours of many vacation destinations that most folks have to travel hours for. One of our vacation destinations in Orlando was Ripley’s Believe It or Not on International Drive.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not is such a fun and bizarre place that deals in events and items so strange and unusual that many people may question their claim. My husband Keith and I visited the Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Gatlinburg, TN on our honeymoon 17 years ago, so we were excited to take our boys to the Orlando location.

Ripley’s Believe It or Not, is located right on the heart of International Drive, which is a major hub for tourist attractions in the Orlando area. With over 10,000 square feet and 600 exhibits and artifacts, there is something for everyone in the 16 unique galleries. While many of the exhibits will leave you speechless and shocked, there are also many, which will make you laugh and even cringe!

 

As you walk in to the Odditorium along the self-guided tour, one of the first exhibits that you will notice on the wall is a picture of Beyoncé made entirely out of sweets! How cool is that that? As we continued along our tour, we saw many bizarre yet unique items! My boys especially loved the statue of Robert Pershing Wadlow, who has been known as the world’s tallest man at almost 9 feet tall! My boys enjoyed standing next to the statue and really got a feel for how tall Robert was!

As we continued on our tour we noticed things like a two-headed calf, gorilla made out of tires, carved wooden Mercedes, dog sculpture made out of clothes pins, and much more! As you walk along, there are so many fun and interesting facts on the wall and throughout the rooms. There are even interactive items so that you can get involved hands-on with the exhibits. My son Brady and husband loved the huge Color Brite!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not Orlando is open 365 days a year from 9am – Midnight daily. (last entry is 11pm) Tickets are $19.99 for adults, $13.99 for children ages 3-11. Kids 2 and under are free. If you book your visit online you can save an additional $3 for adults and $2 for children. There is also free parking, which is an added bonus for sure!

I highly recommend Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Orlando and feel that your entire family will really enjoy it! This would be a great rainy day activity or something fun to do for a few hours if you want to get out of the hot Florida sun!

Thank you to Paul and the staff at Ripley’s Believe It or Not in Orlando for hosting us. We had a great time and great memories of our afternoon with you!

Valspar Championship 2017 Recap

Disclosure: I attended a VIP Blogger luncheon and received tickets to this event for free in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Even though I am not a golfer, I live in a house filled with guys who love to watch the sport. Each year when the Valspar Championship comes to beautiful Innisbrook Resort, they set aside one day to attend. Not only did my guys attend the event this year, but I was privileged to attend a #FoodieFriday blogging event during Championship Week.

This was actually my first time at Innisbrook Resort, and I was enamored with just how beautiful and big everything is. The buildings and golf course are in impecable shape and that is due in part to the remarkable and knowledgeable staff that Innisbrook boasts.

When we arrived at Inverness Hall, we were greeted by Matt Owen, Lauren Smith, Jomary Jiminez and Jessica Fox. These gracious folks either work with Innisbrook or are with the PR team that assists Innisbrook with their events. They hosted us throughout the afternoon and were so kind and professional to each of us.

We started our afternoon by heading to the new Grape and Grain Emporium for a Meet and Greet and Cooking Demo with celebrity chef Ming Tsai. When we arrived, he was cooking up Red Roast Duck Potstickers. Yum! Chef Tsai is so friendly and down-to-earth. He took the time to speak with each of us and take photos.

I am so very impressed with Chef Ming Tsai’s heart. He spoke with us in depth of how he has partnered with Family Reach, an organization that is a financial lifeline for those families fighting cancer as an Executive Chef Ambassador. Did you know that cancer is the number one reason for bankruptcy in the United States? I had no idea. For over two decades, Family Reach has been helping families with cancer manage the overwhelming financial and emotional barriers of the disease. Working in close collaboration with a network of more than 200 hospitals and cancer centers nationwide, Family Reach provides immediate financial assistance, education and outreach to qualified families in need. This is such a wonderful organization and I love what they do! You can see more about Family Reach and what they do to bless others HERE.

After we finished with Chef Tsai, we walked around to observe the tournament for a few minutes before heading over to the Market Salamander Grille for lunch. I love all of the cute touches to detail in every area of the property during the tournament! When we arrived at the Market Salamander Grille, we were greeted by Innisbrook Golf & Spa Resort’s new chef, Executive Chef Thomas McKinney-Stehr.

Oh my goodness, Chef prepared quite the spread for us! Everything from Blackberry bourbon fizz, Colossal onion rings, Tuscan risotto fritters, chicken quesadillas, Carolina pork flatbread, Margherita flatbread, Bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp, Chicken wings and Kona crusted grilled lollipop lamb champs. The food was beyond amazing! One of the things that I love about Innisbrook Resort is that their restaurants are open to the public. Come and enjoy a delicious brunch, lunch or dinner anytime! I noticed that they have lots of wonderful activities for the family and Easter Brunch or Dinner for Easter weekend April 14-16, so you may want to check that out! I can’t wait for hubby and I to go back for a date night or brunch!

At the end of our lunch we were greeted by American businesswoman and CEO of Salamander Hotels and Resorts, Sheila Johnson. What a distinguished lady and businesswoman! I am so thankful for the amazing opportunity to attend this event and to network with some amazing influencers from our area! Innisbrook is truly a remarkable place and I am looking forward to returning! Thank you to the wonderful folks at Innisbrook for their amazing hospitality to us!

On Saturday, my husband and son Drew went back to the Valspar Championship for the day. They look forward to this every year and had a blast! They followed around many of the players on the course and had great father/son time! The Valspar Championship is definitely an event that you need to put on your calendar for next year! In the meantime, be sure to head on over to Innisbrook Resort to check out their delicious restaurants! 

Stay up-to-date on events and promotional opportunities by following both venues on their social media platforms.

Blue Sky Family Farms: “Ethical Eggs For The Humane Race” #FreeRange

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post for Blue Sky Family Farms. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy) 

I have heard people talk about Free Range eggs and have always wondered, do free range raised chickens really produce the best eggs? I mean, isn’t an egg an egg? I typically buy the regular white eggs at my local grocery store and have never really looked into the difference between the two until recently.

Why is a cage-free range-free egg better for me than the other caged chicken eggs that I buy at the store? I was so excited to research and find out this information. Not only are these eggs better for you, but you will also be amazed at the taste, quality and texture.

Egg Innovations, an industry leader in eggs, has recently launched a new brand, Blue Sky Family Farms. Blue Sky Family Farms hold to the highest Humane Farm Animal Care (HFAC) “Certified Humane” standards for Free Range and Pasture Raised eggs. The Blue Sky Family Farms brand launched their “Ethical Eggs for the Humane Race ” campaign to help spread the word about how their Free Range and Pasture Raised egg productions create more humane, ethical and higher quality eggs.

Free range raised chickens really do produce the best eggs because the get to roam freely outside with social interaction. On the other hand, many of the eggs that you buy in the store come from chicken who are raised in a coop without social interaction from other chickens. In fact, Conventional Caged egg programs, which make up more than 90 percent of eggs sold in America, produce basic white eggs, and chickens are confined to an indoor cage with just 8 x 10 inches of space per bird for life.

The new Free Range facility outside Fort Wayne, Indiana, that houses Blue Sky Family Farms, provides more than 21 square feet per hen outdoors (compared to the one square foot per hen with typical Cage Free indoor facilities), extended temperature ranges for additional seasonal outside access, along with state-of-the-art barn building, equipment and systems. This is a much more humane approach than Caged chickens, where the hens spend their entire lives inside a barn. True Free Range and Pasture Raised egg production, such as the ones used for Blue Sky Family Farms, provides hens the freedom to roam not only inside barns, but also outside, allowing them to do what chickens naturally do: forage, scratch, dust-bathe, flap wings, perch, nest and interact socially.

“This is another major milestone for us to lead the industry in the humane production of Free Range ethical eggs,” said John Brunnquell, founder and president of Egg Innovations and the Blue Sky Family Farms brand. “And because our chickens get outdoors on pasture, customers keep telling us that our eggs look and taste better. This is amazing information when you really stop to think about the facts and compare them!


In addition, Free Range and Pasture Raised eggs also look and taste great as a result of their thicker shells, high orange yolks and thick egg whites. As someone who loves eggs and considers them a staple in my daily diet, I was excited to try this brand. As anticipated, the first thing that I noticed was the color of the yolks and the size of the egg whites. I have never seen a brighter yolk and thicker egg white before. They are absolutely gorgeous! And the taste – oh my goodness, they are so rich and delicious!

Aside from my favorite protein-filled snack of hardboiled eggs, I love to take a couple of sunny-side up eggs and pile up sauteed veggies for a healthy breakfast. This is a great start to my day. These Free Range and Pasture Raised Eggs from Blue Sky Family Farms are sure to be your new family favorite! 

Where Can You Purchase Blue Sky Family Farm Eggs? You can find this brand at over 750 Finer Natural Grocery and Retail Stores. GO HERE for more information and to find a location near you.
