I’m Moving!!!

I’m moving!  But don’t worry guys, I’m not going very far.  For the past 5 1/2 years, I have been using this WordPress hosted blog, and it’s been wonderful.  I have found, however, that my needs have outgrown this free blog, and I have made the switch to being self-hosted!  So what does that mean?  Well, not much for you guys, but it means such great things for me!  I will now have the ability to embed videos into posts, giveaways will be able to run much smoother with the giveaway widget displayed directly in the post as opposed to having to click a link and leave the page, plus other cool things I just couldn’t do here.

You’ll be able to find me at http://www.stephanyssweetlife.com/ from this point forward, but that’s really all that’s changing is my domain name.  The appearance will be the same, the content will be the same, and of course, I will always be there.  This blog will remain in existence as I just can’t stand to shut it down.  This blog has been my baby for the past 5 1/2 years, and besides my children, is one of the things I’m most proud of.  I will have opportunities to bring you guys even better content, and I hope you all follow me there to see all the fun new things.  So this isn’t goodbye, this is just the beginning of a whole new adventure that I can’t wait to embark on.  Catch ya later alligators!!

Healthier Halloween Treats from GoGo squeeZ

Halloween is just around the corner, and I set out on a mission to find healthier treat options for Halloween.  We all know as parents that our kids will walk away from trick-or-treating with about 20 lbs worth of sugar, with very few healthier treat alternatives in their Halloween haul.  This year, stock up on all the great GoGo suqeeZ flavors that little trick-or-treaters will love.  (And parents too!!)

There are SO many fabulous flavors to choose from!  Stock up on one flavor, or grab a box of each!  With over 20 varieties of fruit and veggieZ on-the-go, GoGo squeeZ is so much more than just Applesauce, they’re Goodness on the Go!

Zippin’ Zingin’ Pear is one of my favorite to give to my children.  Zippin’ Zingin’ Pear is the healthy snack that keeps up with little ones.  The signature GoGo squeeZ pouch is packed with pears, apples, and carrots – and it’s scrumptio-licious!  With hidden veggies and a delicious flavor kids love, it makes for a product parents love too!

Gimme Five was a new flavor for us, but it was just as delightful as we’d hoped it would be.  Packed with five kinds of fruit, Gimme Five GoGo squeeZ is five kinds of deliciousness.  A bountiful blend of apples, mangos, strawberries, peaches and bananas, this powerful pouch is a healthy on-the-go fruit snack that anyone can enjoy – anywhere, anytime.

Who doesn’t love the classic Apple Apple, right?  The original GoGo squeeZ applesauce, Apple Apple, is made with 100% real fruit, and is 100% portable and fun to eat.  So no matter where kids are go-going, they can always snack on a healthy, tasty treat.

Apple Peach is perfect no matter how old you are.  Everyone loves peach!  This Apple Peach blend is a portable fruit pouch packed with peaches and apples is a treat for anybody’s tastebuds.

A fall-time favorite in our home is the Apple Cinnamon.  This spicy spin on a true original adds a bit of zesty cinnamon goodness to a classic applesauce favorite.  It’s simply the go-to healthy snack for every kid on the GoGo.

Oh my berries…this Apple Berry is delish!  Loaded with yummy apples, raspberries and blackberries, Apple Berry GoGo squeeZ goes wherever your kids go.  They’re a healthy fruit snack for kids’ taste buds, made with 100% fruit and packed with nutritious goodness.  How berry delightful!

GoGo squeeZ Yogurtz are something that my kids recently fell in love with so we were supper happy to see some new flavors!  Banana Yogurtz is the new hot commodity in our home.  This real low fat yogurt combines yogurt and banana together in a beautiful match-up, packed into a convenient pouch.  GoGo squeeZ YogurtZ can be stored at room temperature until opened!  A treat so cool it doesn’t have to be cold.

Berry Yogurtz is another super delicious treat any kid would be happy to get in their treat bag on Halloween.  Just like the banana flavor, Berry Yogurtz starts with real low fat yogurt and combines strawberries, blueberries and raspberries for an out of this world flavor combination.  Just like the banana,  you can keep Berry Yogurtz at room temperature until ready to eat.

There’s never been a better time to offer healthier Halloween treat alternatives, your little trick-or-treaters will love GoGo squeeZ.  What flavors will you stock up on for this Halloween??

Fabulous Foods Your Fur Kids Will Love From Chewy.com

 

It’s our favorite time of the month again…trying out some new goodies from our friends at Chewy.com!  You should all know by now how much Venus and Hermes LOVE getting to try out new stuff, and this month we got to pick some really great items that suit each dog perfectly.

This month I picked a new food for both Venus and Hermes to try.  I was looking for something specifically that suited each dog, and Zignature Pork Limited Ingredient Formula and Nutro Wild Frontier Adult Cold Water Recipe were just the things that we were looking for.

I decided to try the Nutro Wild Frontier Adult Cold Water Recipe Grain-Free Salmon Dry Dog Food with Venus and she absolutely loves it!  This Nutro food offers a grain-free, high-protein diet for your dog’s natural instincts.  This great-tasting dry dog food satisfies your dog’s hunger with real salmon and provides the steady energy they need to run and play all day…perfect for an active dog in the Arizona heat!  Best of all, Nutro Wild Frontier Cold Water Recipe is made in their U.S. facilities with quality ingredients from around the world. Feed your dog what they instinctually crave.

Venus was a little unsure of the new food at first.  I could tell the smell intrigued her, but it took a little coaxing for her to take that first bite.  After I had her try it, she just couldn’t get enough.  She laid down, finished the bowl, and looked at me with a look of “what, no more?”, haha!

Key benefits of Nutro Wild Frontier Adult Cold Water Recipe Grain-Free Salmon Dry Dog Food:

• Number-one ingredient is great-tasting, real cod which delivers amino acids to build muscle and maintain a healthy metabolism. Give your dog all that she needs to thrive and stay healthy.

Old man Hermes loves his canned dog food, this is no secret.  Sometimes getting him to accept a new food can be a challenge but he really took to the Zignature Pork Limited Ingredient Formula Grain-Free Canned Dog Food.  This canned dog food offers a unique and hypoallergenic protein option, it’s great for dogs with allergies or sensitivities—and that’s just the beginning of why pork is so great for your furry pal.  As a rich dietary source of protein with a healthy amino acid profile, it’s full of essential vitamins and minerals to offer whole nutrition for deserving dogs.  But he’ll just care about the great flavor, which will keep him coming back to the bowl as he gobbles down bite after bite of good-for-him food.

Key benefits of Zignature Pork Limited Ingredient Grain-Free Canned Dog Food:
