Sneak in those veggies with Sneakz Organic! Protein powder for kids!

December 8, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Working from home and being able to do YouTube have been a dream come true and a complete blessing.. but.. sometimes I get so busy that other things get pushed aside. Like some healthier eating habits..

When asked to review this, I was super excited! Not only I, but the boys need those extra nutrients and probiotics, especially during the colder seasons.

This Sneakz Organic protein powder is chocolate flavored. We tried it in some milk, but it wasn’t favored by the boys that way. So then we tried whipping it up in some milk & ice, it was better but not something the boys enjoyed. SO.. I tried it in some pancakes.. oh my goodness.. I was SO surprised! It actually enhanced the pancake flavor! My middle son, LJ, ate 2 whole pancakes and asked for more… with out the syrup might I add..!!

I can’t wait to try this in some more foods, maybe some muffin next? I still want to try this in a yogurt smoothie, I think it would be great with some greek yogurt, milk and maybe a banana!

Sneakz Vegan Protein Mix provides 14 grams of protein, probiotics, 10 essential amino acids and ½ serving of daily vegetables. Simple and clean ingredients means nothing is artificial – no GMOs, no antibiotics, no synthetic hormones or artificial colors. Available in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry.

To find out more information you can check them out on their website. They have easy recipes ideas and you can also purchase it directly from their site. It retails for $21.00.

Here’s more on the chocolate powder:

It’s a great source of whole food nutrition from vegetables and non-dairy pea protein for children or anyone who feels the need to add that extra boost to their diet. Using the latest research, we’ve created the perfect blend of phytonutrient dense whole foods to support a healthy on-the-go lifestyle.

By adding beets, spinach, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, peas, and carrots, we are able to fit in a full ½ serving of vegetables per scoop and 14 grams of protein. Each scoop contains all 10 essential amino acids, fiber, and at least 500 million CFUs of probiotics.

We had fun with this and did a little fun video! Even dolls need some protein 😉

October 15, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

Slime.. it’s all the rage.. but mix slime with a summer favorite.. and you have an instant party!

Bestway is known for all of their fun summer products like, floats and water slides, but they sure took it a whole new level with this Slime and Splash Water Slide!

Super easy set up. Comes with 4 kid safe packets of slime. We used two at once for more slimier experience! The slide itself is 23ft! It’s a super long slide! Ages recommended for this side is 5-12. Watch out, you will zoom down this slide super fast after being in the slime! Ha! My 2 year old played in it just fine, just have to really watch them!

They just love playing in water.. but the slime added a lot more fun!

Such a fun product for summer. It’s super easy to put away as well. Super durable too!

This retails for around $20-$30. You can find it on Amazon.

We were only able to use this once this year.. the boys keep asking to bring it out.. even though its 50 degrees out now! ha! Well .. something to look forward to next summer!

My Fabulous Storyteller by Lunii!

August 25, 2018 Dream Team Family2 Comments

So I have never been the best at reading to my boys.. I did when they were younger, but now since I work from home part time, YouTube, Blog and parenting 3 crazy boys.. it’s hard to find time..

I have been on the search for something that will assist with this.. so when we seen this at Sweet Suite.. the boys AND I were hooked!

The boys stood at this booth for a super long time. They listened to a whole story! It was about 7 mins long.

Ahh.. this is my favorite photo of them from Sweet Suite, not to mention the ladies that ran this booth/run Lunii were the most sweetest and friendliest group I have met!

They seen that the boys were really intrigued and gave us one to take home! It’s super awesome! Not only does it charge, but you can pick a character, theme and object. It’s screenless and the buttons are not overwhelming to figure out, the whole feel of the storyteller is really nice. Super simple for kids to use on their own.

There are 48 stories that come downloaded on the storyteller and you can even download more on their website! We JUST downloaded the bedtime stories and THAT is what the boys have been listening to at night! They have really enjoyed it.

I honestly can’t wait for more downloads to be available!

There is also a head phone jack so you can use the Storyteller with or without head phones. This would also be great for car rides or waiting for a doctor appointment. The My Fabulous Storyteller retails on their site for around $70.00.

Check out Lunii here!

For our full review (and skit) check out our video:

The boy’s (and I) had fun filming this video. Their giggles towards the end of the skit were so perfect that I didn’t have to edit anything in! They were actually listening to the stories when I “looked inside the room”! We didn’t have to act any of that out!

Sweet Suite Toy Swag Box!

July 18, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

It’s here!! I’m super excited to get this opened!

I only had the boomerang clip of the box from Facebook! I could have went into my room to get a picture of it, but the boys follow me everywhere and didn’t want to start something now! Ha!

Did I mention we are actually Home “HOME” now! Ha! Long story, but our electric was out and it took over a week to get it back on.

I didn’t realize how much work was involved once the electric goes out! My fridge was covered in mold so I had to clean and then clean some more. I did some major speed cleaning last night when we got into our house around 6pm. But at least I was able to get my laundry (mostly) caught up. (I still think little elves leave dirty laundry when we are sleeping!).

SO everything is FINALLY getting sorted out to a more “Norm” life. We just now have to go get Skye (Our dog) from my Sister In Laws and then we will be all set… well until we find a house to buy.. then that’s another adventure waiting to unfold ha!

Site seeing in NYC! Staten Ferry, Ice Cream on Wall Street and more!

July 13, 2018 Dream Team FamilyLeave a comment

We woke up.. extremely sore and tired the next day, so we stayed in until 1pm before we ventured out!

We started out catching a bus, which went smooth at first, until we missed it, then had to purchase another set of tickets, then we got on the bus waiting for the driver to scan our mobile tickets, only for him to look at us like we were crazy.. what did we do wrong? lol

The boys did like the bus ride though! LJ is taking it all in!

LOOK! NYC on the other side!

Ok, so after the bus, we ventured to the ..subway.. in which we took the subway in the wrong direction! (This is were I was slapping myself in the face Ha!)

Anyways.. it’s all good! We just ended up being near Staten Island so we took a Ferry! We had planned to take the Ferry at some point so it all worked out! We got some lunch ( more like dinner since it was around 4 when we actually got some food!) at Steve’s Pizza! Tiffany (my awesome sister that was a trooper and came with us!) stopped at a Paleo joint in NYC, which was totally awesome.. well.. because she IS Paleo and didn’t get eat much on this trip so far so this was great!

So, we walked a lot, and had to call an Uber a few times ha, but we did what we could! It was super fun and super stressful at the same time.

The Ferry was fun, I got some fun shots during it too! We saw the Statue of Liberty.. not as close as I had hoped, but hey the Ferry was free! So we will take it.. Ha! We took the Ferry to the Island and then back. Boys loved seeing all the boats and it felt safe too, the sides were really high, so made this mom feel safe! Ah.. and the fish. They had these huge tanks in the waiting area for the Ferry, and LJ was very taken with them. So much that him and Zieke took out their tablets and had a photo session!

Ah and the ice cream.. We had Milk Cereal ice cream on Wall Street! (The boys didn’t like, of course! So there went $20 bucks in the trash, no, like literally! We threw it all away!) I had a few bites, it definitely tasted like milk cereal, which was really strange but fun!

We also found a fun little park. They were able to fun around for a bit before heading back. We ended up, when all said and done, calling an Uber, we were going to walk to the bus station, but we ended up walking the wrong way, and by the time we found that out, the correct path would have taken us over 35 mins, PLUS we had to ride the bus back to our apartment still.. and it was after 9pm so yes.. an Uber it was! ( Uber’s are awesome BTW! We took a total of 4 when we were here)

All in all, it was a great experience, but I think next time (if there is one), we will stay in NYC and not in NJ as it was WAYYY to much walking, taking buses, Uber expenses and so on.

So, we are headed out soon. We might hit up a park before heading back home, but not sure yet. This trip has definitely gotten the best of me!

Country girl out!
