 A little about Rumiano Cheese:
#RumianoCheese

Rumiano Cheese Company is the oldest family-owned cheese company in California dating back four generations.

Rumiano Cheese Company is committed to the organic and Non-GMO movement and continuing to produce the highest quality cheese inspired by their founding father’s recipes and cheese making techniques.  In 2011, Rumiano launched their Rumiano Family Organic line, which is the first cheese in the US market to receive Non-GMO Project Verification. 

I am a HUGE fan of cheese.  Anyone that knows my love of cheese knows that I like almost all flavors of cheese.  I especially love sampling new cheeses as each flavor of cheese and each brand has a distinct flavor and color.

My Review:

Rumiano cheese is AMAZING!! I could taste a distinct flavor from this specific brand of cheese.  I also really like that this brand of cheese is all natural.  The cheese made by Rumiano is GMO free which means that there is no growth hormones given to the cows that produce this cheese.  This creates a more natural product.  Rumiano cheese also has the smallest list of ingredients out of any packaged cheese I have tried so far.   Unlike other competing brands Rumiano does not use coloring in their cheese.  Many people may think that cheddar cheese is always very yellow and the sharper the cheese is the more yellow it is.  That is not always the case.  The cheese pictured above is coloring free and is a sharp cheddar cheese.  The sharpness of this particular cheese was just exactly how I like it.  It didn't taste over aged like some of the other cheeses that I have tried.  This cheese was so delicious to just eat plain, but it would be incredible added to any recipe.  All the varieties pictured above were absolutely delicious.  I definitely love this cheese!!  Also you do get what you pay for.  This cheese is a little pricey about $5.99 for an 8oz package (before tax), but it tastes just as good if not better than some of the more expensive cheeses you get at a specialty store.  I am very frugal and have a hard time paying much for things but I feel like this cheese is well worth the price.  It doesn't come with all the extra additives that many of the competing cheeses comes with.  It is overall a healthier cheese and I will definitely be buying this cheese again.  If you are a cheese lover like me and love the health benefits of a healthier product I recommend you take a look at The Rumiano Family Organic Cheese!!

Rumiano Family Organic cheese can be found in select Whole Food Markets, natural food and grocery stores nationwide.

My Review:

Adovia Mineral Eye Gel with Dead Sea Salt & Minerals, Vitamin C and Vitamin A Retinol is a GREAT product for your eyes.  I love this eye gel!! After just one use I felt like my eyes had less dark circles underneath and they felt very fresh. I love the way this made my eyes feel. I also found that using this it is actually helping the small wrinkles under my eyes. It has also helped with the redness I get with my puffiness when I wake up in the morning. This eye cream is great for any skin type. It doesn't feel too heavy like some of the competing eye creams. I loved the light fresh feeling of this cream. I really like the feeling when my eyes don't feel heavy and they feel a little more well rested. I felt like this cream helped with that for me personally as well. This Adovia Eye Gel is great for reducing eye puffiness, dark circles, wrinkles and fine lines around eyes.  If you are looking to try a new eye cream I suggest you check out this great Adovia Mineral Eye Gel!!

FulcrumGallery.com Western Art Review

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

A little about FulcromGallery.com

FulcrumGallery.com is the inevitable outcome of a seemingly coincidental series of events which started in its founders, years before we ever met and started a business. Over time, a friendship, an interest in art and decorating, and a strong software development background led to the FulcrumGallery.com that we have become. FulcrumGallery.com exists today because of the continued investment of its founders and employees. It is very much a work of blood, sweat, and tears...and of course, a love of great art.

Just a couple samples I also liked out of the hundreds offered.....

FulcrumGallery.com offers a huge variety of art or home decor photos.  I love their selection!!  I was so excited to have the opportunity to do a review for FulcromGallery.com





My Review:

Honestly, I wish I was better with decorating my own home.  My home is not overly decorated like many of the people I know.  I really wish it was.  Websites like FulcruGallery.com with these kind of products really help me!!  I just have a hard time deciding on something I like and if you asked my husband he would give you the same answer.  I had a hard time narrowing down my selection to just one because there were so many pieces of art that I liked.  I narrowed it down to what I liked and of course then asked my husband his opinion like I always do.  I ended up going with a western art piece.  I love the selection from FulcrumGallery.com!!  I love how you can either search or just click a category that you are looking for to find a nice piece of art for your home.  I had a lot of fun trying to pick out what I wanted.  I was really impressed with how easy the ordering process was.  It is very easy to navigate the site and it is very user friendly.  The ordering process was great because once you picked your piece of art you would then choose how you wanted it, either on canvas or framed.  If you chose a frame then you would also choose a frame and a mat color to go with your frame.  I picked this darker brown frame with a little hint of red because I thought it went perfect with the color of the photo inside the frame and brought out certain colors.

 

The frames offered as choices are custom and are of the best quality.  I especially liked that each frame has a signature on back of who framed it and also a signature of the person that inspected the quality of workmanship.  I felt like they went the extra mile and took the extra steps to help be more satisfactory to the consumer.  I will definitely go to FulcrumGallery.com when I am looking for more art to decorate my home.  They more than met my expectations and I am very excited about the product I received.

Northcott Patriotic Fabric & AWESOME Giveaway!!

**I was provided with the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other product or compensation was received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

Anyone who knows me and how much I love to sew and quilt knows that I LOVE Northcott Fabrics!!   I was so excited to have the opportunity to make another great project using Northcott Fabrics.  This project was especially fun because it was something I adapted an idea I had and ended up with something amazing.

I have been making so many quilts lately that I was really in the mood to do something a little different.  I saw a patriotic dress in a store that I thought was sorta cute but still really plain.  I decided I wanted to make some really cute matching patriotic dresses for my daughter and cute little niece.   I have to say I am so pleased and excited with how these cute dresses turned out. 

My daughter was so excited about the dress.  She also loves it when she gets to match my niece.  She was especially excited that I made a matching dresses for them.  She is still at the fun age where she thinks that matching is a pretty cool thing.  I love that about my little girl!!

 It was also a lot of fun to accessorize these dresses and make them a little more fun.  I had a lot of fun making these projects.  I hadn't sewn for a very long time and this was one of the projects that has helped me get out of my little "funk" as I call it.

 Here in Utah were I live we get to leave our patriotic decorations out all of July.  We have the 4th of July to celebrate for our country, but we also celebrate the 24th of July for I guess what I have always grown up knowing as Pioneer Day.  Since I decided not to make a whole entire quilt I had the panel left that I of course wasn't going to use for the dresses so I decided to make a nice wall hanging with.  I don't have any patriotic decorations for my home so this will be my first one.

I am really excited to quilt this one myself.  I have it all basted and ready to quilt.  I will probably quilt it tonight or tomorrow because I want to have it done before the 4th of July.......Well at least that is my goal.  I love all the deep saturated colors that Northcott Fabrics uses.  So I am just as excited about these projects as I am with anything I make with their fabric.

This panel would make a great center to a quilt!!! I just didn't decide to use it that way this time around.  It will look great once it is finished.  After quilting panels like this......many times they look like a quilt you actually pieced together.  It is a really cool feature with panels like these.  That is my goal with this panel.  I am confident it will turn out great and can't wait for the finished product.

Who doesn't like getting new fabric?? Of course who doesn't like a GIVEAWAY!?!?!?!?

Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme 3.0 Review #marblemania

**I received the product featured free of charge in order to give an honest review.  No other products or compensation were received.  My thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and others may have a different opinion.**

 

Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme 3.0 has over 200 pieces that can be used to create a marble run that will automatically take your marbles and move them through the run. The set includes multiple channels, 3-D connectors and structures, a power lifter and much more – everything necessary to build and “Power Up” hundreds of marble run designs. Requires one “AA” battery (not included). Ages 6+ years. 

What kid doesn't like new interactive toys?!?!?!  

My kiddos are no exception, they love new toys and are especially excited about interactive toys.  We were so excited to be able to have the opportunity to review this great toy!!

 This Techno Gears Marble Mania Extreme 3.0 was a great challenge for my children.  My kids really enjoy playing with Legos and love toys that they can construct themselves.  My son is especially into this process and loves to try and build it all by himself unless he gets stuck.  I really liked that the box was not flimsy and it was a well constructed box so we were able to take it apart and put it back into the box to be able to store it instead of having to find a new box or place to put it.

 There are over 200 pieces in this set to play with.  They come in several bags splitting up all the individual pieces.  Of course with the way my children are they just opened all the bags at once and had them all out on the table.  These kids are pretty good at figuring out what pieces are what and where they go.

 They worked on this project together but of course the big brother wants to do it his way so he did much of the building by himself.

It took him a few hours to build this on his own.  That is fine with me because that meant it kept him busy for quite a while.

 My Review:

This is a GREAT interactive toy.  It says for ages 6+.  My husband did end up helping my kids at the end of construction.  We found that if one piece was put on just barely wrong then the marble wouldn't roll or something wouldn't work right.  It was a great experience for my children to be able to try and build this toy all by themselves.  My son is 10 and did most of the building by himself.  My daughter tried to help and she is 7, but she had a little harder time.  I would personally recommend it for ages 8+.  After hours of my son putting it together we found it didn't work properly so my husband spent some time trying to figure out what was wrong.  We ended up finding that one thing was out of place and that is the reason the whole thing wasn't working as it should.  After we had everything in the right place it worked great and the kids had so much fun playing with it.  My kids spent a couple hours playing with it after it was all put together.  This is a great toy and great for kids who like a challenge when they play.   I would recommend for an adult to just supervise the construction or just to check it over after if it isn't working properly because it is usually human error.   This was the perfect kind of toy for my 10 year old son.  If your kids love interactive toys and love a challenge I highly recommend you check out this toy!!
