Zact Holiday Blog Blast #MC

"I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Zact. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating"


My kids (like most kids their age) are constantly asking for a smartphone, and they've put one on their Christmas list. I don't want to deal with the massive costs kids can incur though (I have a friend whose son had a $700 bill!).

I found out about Zact, a nationwide mobile service with no contract that lets parents control text and data usage, along with curfews!


Zact was awarded the seal of approval from National Parenting Center, and their average bill is only $22 a month (I can get behind that!)

If your kids want a smartphone for Christmas check out Zact Mobile and look at all their cool features!

Help! I need ideas!

So in the past year we've gotten her potty trained and gotten rid of bottles. But the pacifier? Not so much. We're down to where she's only allowed to have it in bed, at night. But Scooter is obsessed!

For the older kids we got them down to night time only and they just lost interest. Scooter? She'll ask to go to bed anytime she wants her plug. I want it gone in the next couple weeks, but it's not looking good on our end.

I thought about doing the "Binkie Fairy" thing, but since the older kids still believe in the tooth fairy and Santa (or claim that they do), I don't want to add a new fairy to the mix and cause doubts.

So help this mama out and give me some ideas on how to get the plugs gone without traumatizing her (or causing a bunch of sleepless nights in our house).

*Just an FYI, this picture is really old and she only uses one at a time. She was playing around, so don't judge me, I just thought it was cute.

Where Petals Fall Book Tour and Giveaway

NEW RELEASE........

On the surface Junie Olson’s life looks idyllic, from her handsome husband and beautiful daughter to her successful business, the bakery she'd always dreamed of opening. But in the past few months her world has slowly unraveled. Her precocious child is withdrawing, showing unexplainable signs of emotional regression, a condition that frays the bonds of Junie’s once impenetrable marriage. When her father dies suddenly of a heart attack, Junie packs up her daughter and goes home to help her mother. Her homecoming stirs up memories of the nightmare she thought she had put behind her, the disappearance of her childhood friend, Ellen. Haunted by recurring memories of what happened on that fateful day, Junie must gather the courage to revisit her past and untangle the secrets surrounding her missing friend, and the trauma that has caused her little girl to climb back into herself. As the pieces come together on the event that shook her small town, and at the risk of losing everyone she loves, Junie will question everything she thought she could rely on and everyone she thought she knew.

WHERE PETALS FALL is a gripping and emotional novel with an undercurrent of suspense, featuring a determined mother whose world slowly comes apart around her. Readers will root for Junie as they follow her transition into an indomitable heroine who must reconcile what she discovers about her husband and family’s tragic past, and find a way to put the pieces of her family back together and carry on.

My Thoughts:

I don't normally read stories of this type, but the description was interesting enough to compel me to read it. And boy am I glad I did! This is a story of a woman with a nice life, a wonderful child and husband, and the career she's always wanted. Then her child starts regressing and she's unable to help her. She feels incompetent because she can't help her child and it's ruining her marriage. Then her father dies and she's stuck in the middle... trying to help her daughter, her mother, run her business and attempting to keep her marriage afloat.

And to make matters worse being at home is bringing up memories of her childhood when her best friend disappeared. Can Junie take care of everyone and discover what her memories are trying to tell her? Who can she trust?

This was a gripping story that will keep you filled with suspense until the very end. I couldn't put it down until it was finished! I haven't read Melissa Foster before but I definitely will again.

Key Ingredient Recipe Reader Giveaway

I was not compensated in any way for this post.

A perfect gift for Mom, grandma or the pint-sized budding chef in the family, the Key Ingredient Recipe Reader lets home chefs access up to 4,000 recipes at the touch of a screen. The Recipe Reader syncs with a free keyingredient.com account, which allows people to search, download and “cookmark” an unlimited number of recipes online. 

Just load it with favorite recipes and switch it on. With a color, large-font touch screen feature, built-in-timers, handy substitution and conversion tools, and durable construction that withstands the hazards of a kitchen, the Recipe Reader is a great gift for all the chefs in the family. Retailing at $149, the Recipe Reader is available at www.store.keyingredient.com; www.amazon.com and www.costco.com.

I loved the reader. I had flour all over it that easily wiped off with a wet paper towel. I found a ton of amazing looking dinner ideas from hour prep to a crock-pot prep. I also found a bunch of scrumptious looking desserts. I tried to make one called lemon sponge drops. I changed up the recipe by making the cake part vanilla and flavoring the whip cream strawberry. It was really good! 

A lot of their pictures are drool worthy! They offer so much more though. It converts measurements for you and also has substitutions you can use. Such as an egg allergy, they have options on how to change out the recipe to make it work for your needs. It's such an easy product to learn and use I love mine. I have used it often and it has become a staple in my kitchen while cooking something new!

Check out this amazing looking turkey!

I've used several of their recipes already, and I don't even own the unit!

Open to US Residents, 18+. Ends December 15 at midnight EST.

I am not responsible nor is It's Peachy Keen for product shipment. Also not responsible for anything with prize fulfillment or mishaps during shipment.

GOOD LUCK and have fun!

Thanksgiving Deliciousness

It's that time of year again when we're all planning our Thanksgiving dinners, and I figured I'd share our plans with you.

For the past several years I make this turkey:

It is SO wonderful and juicy! Basically pepper the chicken and throw some onion chunks in the cavity and then coat it with bacon. Roast as normal and remove the bacon before serving.

The bacon keeps the turkey moister than you can believe! Your turkey doesn't taste like bacon (although the drippings are wonderfully bacony).

The one downside is it doesn't get brown and gorgeous, although we carve the turkey before dinner anyways so it doesn't matter to us. Presumably you could broil it for a couple minutes to make the skin golden and crispy.

We also don't do mashed potatoes (it's one of the few things that I can't cook well), so we make these awesome Four Cheese Scalloped Potatoes from Food Network, along with stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, roasted quash, and homemade rolls.

Of course for dessert we have pumpkin pie and pecan pie (this one is my all-time favorite!). I'm still looking for one more dessert recipe.

What are your family favorites? Any good recipes to share?

Glide Bikes Giveaway

Welcome to the Glide Bikes giveaway!

Hosted by Miss Frugal Mommy and sponsored by Glide Bikes

About Glide Bikes

"Glide bikes are small balance bikes that are built low to the ground and without pedals, chains, or gears. This eliminates the risk of crashes and injuries caused by chains and gears while giving your children less to think about while learning a new skill.  Eliminating the need to pedal allows your child to focus on how to balance without worrying about the footwork required to power a traditional bicycle. Of course, there are no training wheels either; kids won't need them with our specially designed bikes which are perfect for young children or special needs children. 

Glide Bikes are built low to the ground in order to easily allow children to place both feet on the road at any time.  This enables them to feel in control of their speed and balance; letting them focus on gliding instead of falling.  The child propels the bike by walking, and once they have built up some momentum, they lift their feet. This gives them the opportunity to practice steering and balancing without the distractions of using pedals and braking. 

Glide Bikes are light and safe, weighing in at just 8-10 pounds and designed with our patented low speed downhill geometry of just 2 mph.  Riders as young as eighteen months can begin their bike riding adventures easily and safely with glide bikes."

You can discover more about the Mini Glider in Miss Frugal Mommy's review!

InnoTab 3S Premium Kid Connect Review and Giveaway

Now that we've had a couple of months to play with our Vtech InnoTab 3S, I've discovered even more about it that I love! We had the opportunity to test the Premium Kid Connect, and it's one of Scooter's favorite ways to use her InnoTab 3S.

VTech Kid Connect is a one of a kind app that lets you communicate with your child through your mobile phone or from another InnoTab 3s. It lets you send text messages and photos safely.

The messaging is secure, and you set up who your child is allowed to communicate with (so you can ensure that your child is only chatting with Grandma, siblings, you, etc. No weirdos to worry about.)

The InnoTab 3s comes with a free year of Basic Kid Connect, but with Premium Kid Connect (available for only $14.99), you can also send voice messages, photos and drawings to each other! It definitely brings out the creativity in all of us and lets us share more about our lives (Scooter is too young to text much but she loves to send pictures or to talk and tell me what's going on).

In this screenshot she sent a sticker, a voice message and a drawing. It looks almost identical on her InnoTab 3S as it does on my phone (as you can see she found the emoticons!)

Again, Kid Connect is only available on the InnoTab 3S. Plus the InnoTab 3S is available this holiday season for only $79.99, a $20 savings! It comes with 20 apps and a rechargeable battery pack! See my original review here.

Want more info? You can find out more on VTech's website, their Kid Connect page, Twitter or Facebook.

 Here's a fun video by VTech that shows how Kid Connect works.




Want to try it for yourself? VTech is giving one of my readers a chance to win their own InnoTab 3S! Enter on the Rafflecopter below.

Snowman Cupcakes Recipe

Here's the cute snowman cupcakes I made last winter for a Girl Scouts party. Sorry for the horrible picture but I had a group of girls waiting to eat them as I was decorating them (so you're lucky to see them at all, and the decorating is sketchy at best!)

They're easy to make, just make tiny balls of foil (you can use marbles, some people say to but I don't trust that they won't explode in the oven) and place them next to the cupcake wrapper in the shape you want and fill.

Once it's baked it looks like this and all you have to do is decorate it however you want! You can do the same thing (with one foil ball) at Valentine's Day to make heart shaped cupcakes!
