Pillsbury Review & Giveaway

Confession?
If you've eaten a pie at my house it's probably only half homemade. While I love to cook I'm not that enthused when it comes to baking. I tend to cheat and often use frozen pie crusts. So when I got the opportunity to do a review and giveaway for Pillsbury Pie Crusts I couldn't have been more excited.

I love Pillsbury Pie Crusts. Not only are they are convenient but you'd never guess they were frozen. They always come out flaky and light. Unlike mine which are hit and miss. How many times have you wanted to make a pie but didn't because the thought of making a great crust was just too daunting? Well if you have a Pillsbury crust on hand you can toss one together in minutes because you can count on it coming out wonderful every time.

For delicious pie ideas throughout the year visit Pillsbury.com/pie for fun and easy recipes to satisfy every season.

Oh yeah, I did mention there was a giveaway didn't I?

A Giveaway & Review- Yoplait Splitz

Recently I was given the opportunity to review a new yogurt product from Yoplait called Yoplait Splitz and being a big yogurt lover I was excited to give it a try. The product description given by Yoplait sounded very enticing...

"Now you can drive past your local sweet shop without looking back. Yoplait Splitz is the new yogurt that tastes like a sundae. Providing all of the goodness of 100% real yogurt, Yoplait Splitz is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. With no artificial flavors or sweeteners and no high fructose corn syrup, this 90 calorie dessert is the treat your family craves. For an even “cooler” experience, just pop a Yoplait Splitz in the freezer and in a few hours you can enjoy a cool, creamy cup of authentic frozen yogurt. Available in three delicious flavor combinations including Strawberry Sundae, Strawberry Banana Split, and Rainbow Sherbet, Yoplait Splitz is sure to have your family screaming for more."

I received the Rainbow Sherbert which initially had me bummed me out a bit since the thought of Sherbert yogurt didn't sound that appealing but much to my surprize it was really good! It actually tasted almost exactly like Sherbert ice-cream. It also had a really nice custardy texture.

I decided to put it to the test and called in additional test subjects my 7 yr. old and 11 yr. old neighbors. The 7 yr old specifically stated that they hated yogurt and I genuinely had to twist his arm to get him to participate. We tried them frozen and boy they were a big hit! The 7 yr. old said "This isn't yogurt!". When I assured him it was it was indeed yogurt it had just been frozen he then asked his mom why she wasn't given it to him frozen. Yoplait Splitz had won him over.

Me personally, I wouldn't get sherbert again. Not because it wasn't good it's just I'm not a sherbert gal. I am going to give the Strawberry Banana Split a try. A frozen, portion controlled, cup of that would be a nice alternative to gorging myself on a pint of high calorie ice-cream during the summer.

I can't send you any yogurt but what I can do is offer you a chance to win a free prize pack from Yoplait that includes an insulated carry tote and a roll up fleece picnic blanket.

It's Not You, It's Me. No, Really

I thought I should let you all know that yes, I'm still alive.

I've been a very bad blogger but a really great mommy. I knew that once I had the baby it was going to be inevitable that I pull back from blogging a bit but I just never imagined how 24/7 all consuming it would be. That must sound so naive to you seasoned moms (and dads!) but I really did think I'd be able to steal away more time during naps. HA! I keep seeing things and think I should blog about that and I just never get around to it. Sorry folks.

I bunch of you have asked how she's doing- she's wonderful. I look at her and think how the heck did two mutts like us get such a great kid? She's such a joy but, full disclosure, she's got this little bit of a bad-ass streak in her. She sure lets you know if you're not doing something to her liking. It's pretty cool that even at this age (4 months) they have such prominent personalities. Nature vs. Nurture? Nature is in the lead.

To make up for my absence I'm going to be holding an awesome giveaway. I'll announce the details tomorrow but suffice it to say it's not for some god awful tchotchkes that you'll never use or wear. How do I know? Because, you will get to choose it. Anything you want. For real. It's not from a store you don't need anything from. You can choose from over 200 stores. The best part? It's worth some serious coin. Sounds awesome right?!?! I knew you'd think so.

I'll fill you in on the deets tomorrow so make sure you come back.

Please excuse my no make-up morning face.

Oh, who am I kidding? It's not like any of you are looking at me!

Thanks for sticking by me-

The Townhouselady

The response I received to this post about Lipstick Queen, Poppy King and her Sinner and Saint Lipstick Lines was incredible.

As a blogger, it thrills me to bring products to you that you may not have known about and can really get excited over.

In order to thank my dear readers for their loyalty and enthusiasm, I have teamed up with The Lipstick Queen herself, Poppy King to bring you a giveaway to beat all giveaways!

You see, Poppy is an enormously generous person. She didn't just send me one or two lipsticks, she sent along so many amazing products that I just had to divvy them up.

I have designed 4 super sweet and subtle shades inspired by the colors of cheek blush so that finally a lip product can do to your lips what blush does to the cheeks...make them look glowing and romantic. Presto!
