So for those that don’t know me personally, you’re about to lol

Have a great week y’all!

While I do a good bit of traveling in the warmer/better weather months, I host various parties from mid-November through the beginning of March. And while I live in the south where we don’t get a lot of snow, we still get cold winters (normally lol) and this Hot chocolate maker is FANTASTIC! I love things that you start and then let it do its thing. And this item really does just that. Once you put in the ingredients you are set.

I give this a 4 1/2 out of 5 rating.

This Joseph Joseph Scoop Colander was a great addition to my kitchen for the smaller jobs. Instead of getting out my larger colanders when cooking either just for myself or a small amount this does the job perfectly. It can also help when you are adding in a little pasta at a time with sauce and mixes to get an even coat.

I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5.

I’m giving away five Joseph Joseph Scoop Colanders. Entering is simple as 1, 2, 3. Contest ends midnight January 28, 2012

Sometimes you find products that make you not mind having to clean so much. This is one of those. I let my Aunt use this first and she raved and raved about how it got a stain from in front of my Uncle’s chair that she had tried & tried to get up. When I finally was able to try it myself I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how much more clean my floors looked.

I give it a 4 1/2 out of 5.

And because I enjoyed it so much I’m giving one away here on the blog. Entering is simple as 1, 2, 3. Contest ends midnight January 14, 2012
