I received a sample of the Baked Fries, cheddar cheese. I remember eating baked fries and hot fries growing up, so I was excited to try something similar but with a new spin on it. I like that Snikiddy Snacks are all natural and healthy for you. The sample I received was enough to share with my little ones and they loved it. The baked fries were crunchy, packed with flavor and cheesy goodness.

Lunch on Us-Kraft First Taste Review

My kids and I went on a little field trip to gather these products to try for a review. We went to Walmart, Raley's and Safeway in search for all of the items. The only item not shown is the Kraft Homestyle Macaroni & Cheese Dinner (was not avail. in these stores at the time).  All products shown here are courtesy of Kraft First Taste.


We were able to sample Ritz Crackerfuls, Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh meat, DiGiorno Deep Dish Pizza, Kraft 100 Calorie Cheese Packs, Kool-Aid Brand Fun Fizz Drink.



Lunch was delish. If you are ever in need of  a quick snack try the Kraft 100 Calorie Cheese Bites Packs. They make great toppings for salads, sandwiches or a quick snack on the go. Ritz Crackerfuls are individually wrapped cheese filled crackers with four different varieties to choose from. I thought they were very tasty. We made sandwiches with the Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh Meat and shared the DiGiorno (personal size) Deep Dish Pizza. We popped a few Kool-Aid Fun Fizz tablets into water and watched it fizz to make a pitcher of Kool-Aid with a kick. Lunch was fun. I would purchase a few of these items in the future. We must do it again. Please visit the links above and print a coupon to try these products for yourself. All of the website links are very colorful, user-friendly and interactive sites.

What is your Privacy Setting?

In this information-age, I want it now generation we have access to a myriad of social network applications. People provide too much pertinent information and sometimes even forget who might have access to such privileged knowledge. People please don't be so eager to just throw all your morals into the wind. I know we love to connect and share, but we need to exercise some type of restraint. Social Networking is great in the proper platforms. We all need to be aware of the type of personal information we send out into the blogosphere.

Here is the article I read this morning about the effects of social networking at its worst:

Into 'The Black Hole'

Has anyone ever wondered What happens to the socks in the wash? Is it just me or does everyone else seem to have this problem. I do not understand how you can place a pair of socks in the same load of laundry only to find that one escapes. Where do the socks go? Does anyone have a solution to this age old problem?

I think they are swept under the agitator during the spin cycle, says one. Wait, pick me! I know the answer, says another - The washer gets them so clean from all the slip and slide germs that they want to be free. No, that's not it, says me - They join all the other socks in the land of 'The Black Hole' never to be seen again.
