I was lucky enough to be selected by MommyParties to host a party for the new books called Neon Tiki Tribe!

Neon Tiki Tribe is a new series of children's books featuring exciting stories with a positive message. Plus, all of the books feature Dyslexie, a font designed to help the 1 in 10 kids that display dyslexic symptoms.  Neon Tiki Tribe are "The Brightest Heroes on Earth!" They include Tribe members Tia, Zeke, Mowah and Dar, and use sunglasses that give them super-powers to defend Earth from the evil Ku Tiki Tribe.  This book series is great for elementary school age children 6-10 years old, who enjoy either hearing the stories or reading them on their own, as well as the lessons being taught.

The boys really enjoyed reading through the books and running around the house with their crazy glasses on.  My son’s favorite book is the Dog Rescue Mission since he loves anything to do with dogs. This book teaches kids about the importance of honesty and the courage of telling the truth.

Check out the whole line of books available on www.neontikitribe.com

Have I told you all lately how much I love being a Purex Insider??  I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review and host a giveaway for Combat Ant Gel.

Living in Florida I swear we are just residing on top of a giant ant hill and so fighting with ants is a year round battle.  Sometimes they come into the house without any visible signs drawing them in.  I was very happy to receive the gel because it will kill the whole colony and works very fast to get rid of ants.  I also received a box of ant baits to help keep the ants away and so far so good.  The best part of these baits is that they are much safer then the sprays, I have a small dog and a 7yr old monster running around the house and both of these baits are very contained unlike sprays that have alot of overspray. 

So far I'm very happy with both of these fantastic products!!  So here's the good news for you Purex and Combat want me to give you a box of Combat Ant Gel.  This is a quick giveaway since I received my kit a little late so be sure to enter soon and share with your friends.

Thanks to Progresso and MyBlogSpark I was able to review all the new flavors of Progresso’s fantastic recipe starters.

These are not my pictures because mine are refusing to cooperate.  I first tried a chicken recipe on the side of the can using the Creamy Parmesan Basil and it was really good but beware of the strong basil flavor.  Then I made some chicken up with the Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock where I just pan fried some chicken and added the sauce we also used the sauce on the veggies we had and it was great. 

The recipe starters really help make starting dinner easy!  They come in 5 great flavors and there are tons of recipes available online at Progresso.com plus you can use them to start your own recipes.  It’s so nice to be able to come home and throw a few things together with some sauce and have a great flavorful meal.  I look forward to trying the rest of the flavors and will try and report back on them (I’m a bit concerned about the Creamy Portabella Mushroom since we are not mushroom people but we’ll see).  I’ll be making some Easy Weeknight Chicken Parmesan using the Fire Roasted Tomato flavor and Cheesy Southwest Chicken Skillet with the Creamy Three Cheese sauce.  If you’ve tried these let me know how you like them and if the mushroom sauce is really mushroomy.

The information, products and Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ gift pack was provided by Progresso through MyBlogSpark.  All opinions are my own of course.
