Crafting With My Little Angel and Halos Oranges

March 6, 2017
Art , Food , Life

I’ve always dreamed about leading arts ‘n crafts with my child one day and am so thrilled that my little one is into it. I try to ensure that she has some sort of artsy exposure everyday whether that means an outing to one of New York’s many art galleries, installations and exhibits, or making sure she has hands-on art experience through class/school or at home. So when Mom Trends and Halos invited us as one of the bloggers to join them at the Children’s Museum of Arts, we jumped at the chance to share some quality mommy and me time this Saturday!

Together, we made a bird, a bunny and even a potted flower!

Who would have thought to craft with food but orange you glad you now know?? (sorry I had to insert that corny children’s joke)!

Seriously though, how cute are these creations, all made with some construction paper, glue dots, googly eyes, straw, cupcake liners, and pipe cleaner – basics that any crafter at home most likely already owns! Juliet loved it!

We already love Halos oranges because they’re sweet, seedless and easy for toddler hands to eat and peel. They’re such a healthy non-GMO alternative to the many unnatural, processed snacks out there. Plus they make for great on-the-go, packable treats! I also learned through the event, that “Pure Goodness” is Halo’s motto. Halo spreads goodness through their charitable work. They contribute more than $2 million annually to kids’ education, they partner with Feeding America to provide healthy fruit, and they support solar power usage and water conservation. They’re good to families, communities and the land! Kudos to them! That’s a halo well-deserved

And the food. Can we talk about the Halo orange – infused FOOD?! I’m getting hungry as I type and look at these pictures remembering all this deliciousness. Fruity pizza cookie made with pomegrante seeds, oranges and pistachios atop a frosted sugar cookie? YES PLEASE! Orange infused cider, chocolate covered orange slices, mandarin salsa, spring salads and smoothies?

Uh can I go back right now for MORE?!

Luckily, they sent us all home with a bag of oranges, a craft kit and all the recipe cards to replicate this tasty experience at home. I’m definitely trying this prosciutto bruschetta bite below!

Is anyone else’s mouth watering now??

Thank you to the team at MomTrends and Halo for inviting us to such a fun mommy and me experience! We enjoyed the day at the museum (see my IG feed and stories), learned so many great things about Halo and had a memorable day crafting away!

Jell-O Simply Good Launch and OOTD

October 6, 2016

Being a daughter of a blogger means you get invites to a ton of cool events and that your closets are filled with freebies from sponsors and goody bags past. Juliet is getting addicted to this blogger life and asks to attend each event now. Today we had several invites all packed into one day but decided that we’d take it easy and just attend the later ones. We enjoyed a lazy morning snuggling in bed and ventured out for some coffee …that is until Juliet found these stairs. Walking around with a toddler means lots of detours. And hey we matched the bright orange steps so why not capture our outfits of the day, we, (I mean I) thought..

Wearing whites and brights on this 75 degree day was a warm way to welcome in fall.

Juliet loved her ring pop treat which turned her tongue and mouth blue.

Here she is wearing a fuzzy white jacket that Guess Kids gave us (see more on our showroom shopping spree with them here). I decorated it with our collection of buttons and it went so nicely with our Cat and Jack tutu, and the complimentary orange shirt that we received from Kidbox.

See what I mean? Being a blogger kid ain’t so bad.

To launch a new product line within the Jell-O family, Jell-O and The Moms Network treated us to a delightful sampling of all the flavors of Jell-O Simply Good (which included strawberry, mixed berry, orange-tangerine and pineapple-orange).

The Moms event made it especially kid-friendly by encouraging creative Jell-O recipe-making by laying out an enticing assortment of toppings. And they even offered complimentary recipe cards for the moms to try their Jell-O Simply Good mixes at home with their kids (courtesy of their head chef).

We were happy to learn that Jell-O Simply Good pudding mixes are made with real ingredients like banana, cocoa and vanilla bean and that the gelatin mixes are flavored with real fruit juices.

No artificial flavors, dyes or preservatives! That makes eating chocolate pudding a little less guilt-inducing in my book!

Available nationwide, all flavors are now on shelves in the baking aisle of major retail stores at a suggested retail price of $1.59. After having inhaled 3 whole cups herself, it was clear to see that Jell-O had a passionate 3.5 year old fan!
