Brownwood Acres giveaway

TI am so excited to help promte this giveaway with Little Helpers in Life!  I LOVE cheeries and this does not disappoint.  Read below to see how you can win this Brownwood Acres giveaway

I love products from my state of Michigan. I love seeing all these fantastic companies that I don't always know about because I stay local so often. Brownwood Acres is a company from Michigan area that started in 1945 as a roadside stand, that sold honey and other produce from the families farm. Through the years the company has grown into much more then a roadside stand and offers delicious products. 



I was sent three different bags of cherries from Brownwood Acres to try. Of course I couldn't wait for my husband to get home from work to try. My husband is a cordial cherry lover, so I knew once he seen these I would have a problem with them sticking around in the house to long. I tried the Milk Chocolate covered cherries first. They are so delicious. They don't leave that weird film some chocolate covered fruits do. I also love that the cherries come from Traverse City, Michigan which is the cherry capital of the world. 







My kids are huge fans of any kind of dried fruits. They think that they are eating candy because I always have told them it was candy. I am not really lying, right? So I let them each try these as an after school snack and both of them loved them! I had to divide into smaller bags for them because I know if they are left alone with a pound of dried cherries, they are going to eat them all. Which they did keep asking for more. I have started sending them with my oldest for school snack mixed with a few different kinds of nuts to make a delicious trail mix. 







The Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries are my absolute favorite. I love cherries, I love dark chocolate and the combination of the two is fabulous! I plan on buying more of these to put out for the holidays and maybe even a few smaller bags as gifts for friends, family and even teachers. 






All of these three bags are available in multiple sizes including: 

• 1/2 pound 
• 1 pound 
• 5 pounds

These are fantastic to have around the house if you need a sweet treat. Or to put out in bowls for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner as a sweet treat. And any cherry lover is going to love getting these as a gift. Perfect stocking stuffer for adults and children. 

Overall, Brownwood Acres has more then impressed my entire family with each of the products we have tried. I am also so happy because it is Michigan made, using Michigan ingredients. I can not say enough great things about all three products. I am so happy that I will be able to order more at the click of a button. If you would like to check out these great products and so many more from Brownwood Acres, please click here.

Java House Cold Brew giveaway

For all my coffee lovers, this is for you!  We have partnered with Little Helpers in Life and a few other bloggers to bring you this Java House Cold Brew giveaway. 

Coffee is my life. I have always been a coffee lover since my young teens. It just helps me get through the day. I will try any coffee at least one time. So when I was able to check out Java House Cold Brew pods I was so pumped. I will admit that I do not own a Keurig. I drink two plus pots of coffee a day so having a one cup machine would get pricey. So when I found out these were pods I was a little nervous on how I was going to make them at home. I knew I could go to my moms house. But when I received them in the mail. I found out they are liquid! Which makes them dual purpose. 



My husband and I decided to try them out one night after he got home from work. They are so simple to use. To enjoy them hot: you simply place the pod with the tab side up into your single serve brewer. 

To use cold, which is what we used: peel open the pod pour over ice, and then add eight ounces of water and enjoy. We did add a little bit of creamer. We also used two pods because we were using an extra large glass. Go big or go home right?

Java House comes in four different varieties. So depending on what kind of coffee you enjoy, Java House has you covered. They have: 

• Ethiopian which is a light roast
• Colombian which is a medium roast and my husbands personal favorite. 
• Sumatran which is a dark roast and my personally favorite
• Decaf which is a medium roast without all the caffeine

The coffee is so easy to make for a cold brew. Through out the summer I was making pots, letting them cool and then putting them over ice. But with Java House I no longer have to do that. There are no preservatives or additives. Just great coffee. This coffee taste much less bitter and much less acidic then traditional cold brews I have tried in the past. My husband and I both enjoyed these pods very much. And I absolutely love the concept of them. 







You can find Java House in 6 count boxes at Wal-Mart stores. You can also find them at Walmart.com and Javahouse.com
