Dreft seems to be everyone’s go-to detergent for babies and with good cause! My sister in law and brother exclusively use Dreft. It has a light scent (who doesn’t LOVE the smell of a baby?) and cleans without harsh chemicals. Baby’s laundry needs to be done with care and Dreft helps with that!
During the month of June, Dreft is joining in on Royal Baby Fever by cordially inviting your little prince or princess to take the crown! For the royal treatment, head over to www.Facebook.com/Dreft. You can participate in The Royal Baby Name Bracket now and Heir to the Highchair starting June 17th. And don’t forget, Dreft gently cleans every royal mess.
Dreft is the baby laundry detergent most recommended by pediatricians and the brand that parents have trusted for over 75 years to leave their little one’s clothes and linens soft and comfortable. As gentle as water on baby’s skin and specially formulated for the unique needs of baby items, parents have relied on Dreft to not only help prepare their little one’s essentials before their arrival, but also to keep those items clean and safe once they’re brought home from the hospital. Complete with a scent that’s truly beloved by parents (that’s also gentle for baby), Dreft leaves little one’s clothing as clean and as soft as can be, bringing cuddle time to a whole new level of warm and fuzzy.
The excitement is building – what will Kate and William name their baby? I am betting it will be something very traditional and love Dreft’s Royal Baby Naming Bracket - so much fun! For a girl I think Diana would be a wonderful honor for William’s late mother and for a boy I think something regal and royal sounding like James or George would be good! What do you think?

Woohoo – we love sandwiches in this house! Jamie is a big sandwich fan and for this Father’s Day I wanted him to try a sandwich similar to one I used to eat when I lived in Boston called a chacarero. It used to be a cart in downtown crossing where they made these and I loved them so much. I have been away from Boston for a long time so I have adapted the recipe to accommodate the ingredients I can find here and what I usually have available when I feel like one!
I used my Good Cook sandwich knife to cut the sandwich on the flexible cutting boards. I love Good Cook products! They really help you make the perfect sandwich, check out their perfect sandwich kit!

KIND Healthy Snacks is excited to announce the launch of their newest flavor to join their low-sugar KIND Nuts & Spices line – Dark Chocolate Chili Almond!
Dark Chocolate Chili Almond is a sweet and spicy blend of mixed nuts drizzled in chocolate with a trio of cascabel, ancho and habanero chilies.
- 7g fiber
- 6g protein
- 5g sugar
It may sound counter-intuitive to reach for something hot when its 98 degrees, but it’s actually a scientific fact that eating hotter foods when it’s hot out cools you down! The reasoning is simply that when you eat spicier foods, you sweat more, which is your body’s best way of cooling down.
Eat It: Get KIND Dark Chocolate Chili Almond bar!
Read It: Reading about cold can take your mind off the thermometer, evoking one’s own experience of ice and snow. Try “The Snow Child“ for inspiration.
Wear It: Cooling down pulse points like your neck or the inside of your wrists will immediately help lower your body’s temperature. Try freezing your accessories and slipping them on when you need an afternoon pick-me-up. Get Marc Jacobs Jelly Bracelet Set and throw them in the refrigerator.
Nicole here! I wanted you all to know that I recently got the opportunity to try these bars and LOVED them! I like spicy food and while these weren’t unbearable they had a hint of heat that was delicious! Because of the nuts these are super filling and the dark chocolate adds a nice sweetness to them!

Noah is a big Goldfish eater and loves to try all of the new flavors! He was excited to try the French Toast variety as he loves the taste of maple syrup! He proclaimed these excellent and has asked for them every time I go to the grocery store!
We served these Baked Naturals recently when we had friends over and I got a lot of questions from guests who really loved how they tasted and wanted more information. We tried the plan variety and the nacho cheese flavor and liked them both. I served the plain with salsa but you could definitely eat them by themselves. The nacho cheese were great from the bag and I also paired them with guacamole for even more flavor! They are super crunchy and full of flavor but baked – love it!
Enter the Giveaway!
Five (5) winners will each win 1 bag each of the French Toast Goldfish and the Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Tortilla Chips in both flavors! Please enter the giveaway on the widget below. Email and feed subscribers will need to click over to my actual site to enter.
