Up until recently I had no idea there was a vehicle on the market called a UTV.  I’d heard of ATV’s, but not UTV’s.  I discovered these cool little buggies when a friend asked me to do some research on what I could find for Polaris rzr accessories online.  

I was extremely confused at first, trying to understand the difference between the two, but once I learned the capabilities of UTV vehicles, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings any too much if I were to own one.  I like the fact that they are designed for more than one person, are designed with extra safety features, and can haul gear.  

I could see myself using one of these in the summer to go fishing – especially when I fish down at the sandpits where there are trails I refuse to walk because of the terrain.  In the winter, I would love to add a plow to one and my driveway would be plowed in no time at all.  There are cab covers that fit the UTV’s which would be nice in the winter months.  I could actually even make some money plowing other people’s driveways in my development.  I couldn’t do any of this easily, if at all with an ATV, which is what my 14-yr. old wants.

I am not a fan of sweet cereals so when I was asked if I’d like to review the Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal – I was all for it.  That being said, are you a cereal fan?  Do you like oat clusters?  If you do, I believe you’d really enjoy this crunchy cereal that stands up to milk.  The cereal did not turn to mush by the time I hit the bottom of the bowl. It was loaded with clusters of crunchy oats amongst larger cereal flakes….it was delish!

I was given the opportunity to try the Honey Roasted Honey Bunches of Oats; however if you’d prefer one with fruits or nuts, the cereal comes in the following flavors: Pecan Bunches, Almonds, Strawberries, Raisin Medley, Banana Blueberry and Peach Raspberry.  You’ll also come across these flavors – Cinnamon Bunches and Vanilla Bunches.  Now that’s a whole lot of variety for one brand of cereal!

plastic bakery containers

 

I’m horrible when it comes to throwing out containers.  I always think there just has to be a use for them at some point – so I save them.  One of my favorite saves that I’ve found uses for are store bakery containers like these:

I know – you’re saying the frosting is yucky to have to clean out – but really it isn’t if you run hot water over it and then wash with some good dish detergent.  Invert them and they’ are great for holding crayons, fabric, craft projects, fish – Yes, I said fish – take a look:

Our family loves nuts and we love dried fruits.  So when the opportunity arose to review Bella Viva Orchards Gourmet Fruits & Nuts, I saw the opportunity to try something we don’t normally buy – gourmet fruits and nuts.  I was sent a 3lb gift package, which is what you see below, and what a difference from the ones you buy at the grocery store.

When my package arrived and I opened the box I found two trays exactly as they are displayed above.  The trays consisted of single layers of fruits or nuts with styrofoam sheets beneath them, placed in the decorative tray, and wrapped with bows.
