Review: Snackeez™ – A Drink Cup and Snack Bowl In-One

Snackeez in Package

Eva – Dad, can we get one of those?

Me – One of what?

Eva – A Snackeez™ ! On the TV, I want one of those Snackeez™, please?!?

Well, as luck would have it we got a Snackeez™ to try out and review. Opinions of the product are, as always, 100% our own based upon our experiences.

Our Snackeez™ arrived and I placed it by the computer. I had to go to sleep for work so I did not get to open it or try it out. I didn’t even hide it from Eva. When I woke up she was all excited telling me that my Snackeez™ had arrived. I don’t know who she thought brought in the mail but anyway she was excited.

Her excitement, however, had to wait because I wanted to try out the Snackeez™ for myself before I gave it to her to have. So, I brought it with me to work. I work a 12 hour overnight shift and during that time I have many drinks (I’m trying to have mostly water but occasionally some Coke Zero or Light Lemonade). And I also snack. Long hour shifts in front of the computer are pretty conducive to snacking. The nice thing around the Snackeez™ though is that the snack container is 4 ounces and so you can have a small snack and try to stick to portion control (as long as you don’t make multiple snack refills)

Mini Cookies in my Snackeez

My First snack and drink combo was mini chocolate chip cookies and light lemonade. Good combination and the Snackeez™ was fun to use. Continue reading Review: Snackeez™ – A Drink Cup and Snack Bowl In-One

Belated Birthday Photos

Okay so I’m a loser. It has been nearly a month since Allison’s 26th birthday party and I have yet to post a message and photos about it. Mind you I had attempted to do this weeks ago while I was on my first trip to Vancouver. I had the time and the photos and I had even written a great message for the Blog. But I saved over the message and was so frustrated that I was not in the state of mind to properly rewrite the message. So that being said here are the photos from Allison’s Birthday.

On January 10th Allison turned 26 and a fun fiesta was had by all at La Carreta in Manchester. Allison’s friends Beth, Jenn, T.R. and Tina were in attendance as well as Ken and Alicia and Allison’s parent’s Dan and Marcia. We had some mega margaritas and great Mexican food. Allison got some very nice gifts and some, how shall I put it, ‘interesting’ gifts from the trouble triplets. Tina made a very special basket for Allison, and Ken and Alicia got Allison a transformer, and no she won’t let me play with it. Willy was on hand to pre-read one of Allison’s gifts and tell Ken what the best pages were. We got the newspaper treatment when the birthday fried ice cream was delivered. It was a fun night for all.
