I remember years ago winning a package of Peet’s Coffee online. When I entered the sweeps it was the first time I had heard of the coffee. I remember telling a co-worker about the coffee and she told me it was her favorite coffee.

Now I not only do I see the coffee when I am grocery shopping, Peet’s Coffee also has retail stores where you can go grab a cup of hot fresh coffee. I prefer to make my own coffee at home. For one, it sure saves a ton of money. I also like to be able to add my own little extras like whip cream, chocolate or caramel without having to pay an extra fee. My husband also drinks multiple cups a day. Making our favorite coffee flavors at home makes sense to us!

I was happy when I heard that you can get the Peet’s Coffee in the K-cups for the Keurig brewers. We have bought the Peet’s Coffee in the packages before but haven’t bought any in months since we always use our Keurig brewer. Now that I can get the Peet’s in the K-Cups, you are sure to see some in my K-Cup carousel.

The Peet’s Coffee K-Cups are available in a variety of flavors including Cafe Domingo, French Roast, House Blend, Major Dickason’s and more! You can purchase these online in single boxes of 16 K-Cups or you can also buy them in bulk. You can of course by the regular grounded coffee from Peet’s, iced coffee, tea and even the coffee beans!

The only thing bad about buying the Peet’s Coffee K-Cups and putting them in my carousel is that they go FAST!

If you have a Keurig Brewer, what is your FAVORITE K-cup flavor?

When I go grocery shopping I try hard not to buy a ton of sweets. Once in a while I will grab a box of treats to spoil the family because we all have our sugar cravings. There are times when you want a little cake and you don’t want to have to bake.

We received a couple of the NEW Sara Lee Snack Cakes for review. We got to try the Buttery Sunshine Cakes and the Devil’s Food Creme Cakes. They are both delicious and I don’t know which one I like better. When I am craving chocolate I would definitely go with the Devil’s Food Creme Cake, but if I in the mood for something sweet that doesn’t contain chocolate I would go with the Buttery Sunshine Cakes.

Sara Lee has been a brand that I have known since I was a kid. I don’t know about you, but I remember those old Sara Lee commercials and when I think of the brand, I think of the saying “Nobody Does It Like Sara Lee”.

Take a peek at a few of the classic Sara Lee Commercials….

 
I have enjoyed the Sara Lee products throughout the years and excited for this new line. Now when I am packing a lunch for myself for school, I might sneak in a Sara Lee snack too! Not only do they have the two cakes that I featured below, here are some others you might want to try:

• Golden Fudge Cakes
• Golden Creme Cakes
• Chocolate Creme Cupcakes
• Cheese Topped Crumb Cakes
• Crumb Cakes

I definitely want to try the crumb cakes….. 🙂

In July when I went to BlogHer in Chicago I received a really cute Land’s End tote bag that I made sure came home with me. The first thing I noticed about the bag was the quality. Compared to my other tote bags, this one was really nice. When I received an email about doing a review for their backpacks, I jumped at the chance.

When it comes to backpacks, you want to make sure you get your child one that is going to last. I have four children and have bought my fair share of backpacks that don’t make it through the school year.

This school year Hannah is rocking the PINK Land’s End School Uniform Solid ClassMate® Medium Backpack. As soon as she seen the backpack, she couldn’t wait to stuff all her school supplies in it. She liked the size of this backpack and thought there was lots of room for her stuff. Here are some of the cool features:

• Reinforced bottom built with 1200D polyester pack cloth
• Lash strap gives them external carrying capacity
• Light up the night! Bottom strap lets them clip a bike light for maximum visibility in low-light conditions
• Reflective trim also helps keep kids visible
• Adjustable sternum strap keeps shoulder straps in the perfect position for comfort
• Handy loop for clipping on a lunch box saves room inside the pack

Since my daughter likes to pack a lunch, she was even more excited when she seen that there was a matching ClassMate® EZ Wipe Lunch Box too!

What is neat about these backpacks and lunchboxes is the ability to personalize them. For an extra fee you can add a monogram. You have the choice to add a single initial, initials or a word. For those of you with children with unique names that are short, this might be a fun way to let them show off their name. This style of backpack and lunchbox is also available in a variety of other colors/patterns too!

This week I tried one of the Wendy’s Flatbread Chicken Sandwiches for the first time. They have the Asiago Ranch and the Smoky Honey Mustard. Since the Asiago Ranch Sandwich has bacon, I had to try that one and oh was it good. I had one for lunch and I was tempted to sneak to Wendy’s and grab another for dinner. These sandwiches are back for only a limited time and guess what? They are only 370 calories! I am tempted to try the Smoky Honey Mustard now too!

Here is what my yummy Asiago Ranch sandwich looked like before I devoured it:
