Mountains from my Hometown | Dream of Mountains Challenge

I grew up in a very small town in Upstate NY. Despite it being small, it was right on the edge of the Adirondack Foothills, best known for their beautiful mountain ranges. This time of year, I think about the mountains a lot. In the fall, you see, the mountain range starts dancing with color and life. There are some amazing trees all crisp and colorful, waiting for the season to change. Some of my fondest memories are my grandmother driving around, just to take a look at the trees. When I heard about AliKats’ Dream of Mountains Challenge, I wanted to share my reasons why I miss the mountains.

Scrumbles Cat Advent Calendar | Review

Did you know they make cat advent calendars? Well, as an American living in the UK, I always forget about calendars. They just aren’t something I’ve ever had before – and as I am not a fan of chocolate – I haven’t been too interested in them before. Now that we have a little furbaby, it’s exciting to get him new treats to try! Scrumbles offers both cat and dog advent calendars – so we figured we’d see how Pancake enjoyed this calendar!

Mrs. Brown’s Kitchen Chicken Fajita Crowns | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Let’s start off this review by stating that I did not know who Mrs. Brown was before trying these treats and am just here for the food! For those, like me, who are unfamiliar, Mrs. Brown is the main character of Mrs. Brown’s Boys – a comedy TV series in the UK, which features many celebrity guests like Caitlin Jenner and Pamela Anderson. She clearly likes home cooking, which is why they have launched Mrs. Brown’s Kitchen – a line of easy to cook, easy to eat food. These foods are exclusively avaliable in store and online at Iceland.

Give someone the gift of Time with the Box Of Favours | Review

[Ad- gifted product] When I was a child, it was a tradition to make these sort of cards for Father’s Day or for Christmas, that gave someone the ability to redeem them to get some sort of thing from me. They were concepts like “back rubs” and “do the dishes”, things that would normally be a bit of a fight or something that took up a lot of my time. When you are a kid, making these cards are super cute and it’s a cheaper gift that can keep on giving, depending on the number of cards that are given. Bringing this concept to an adult setting, Box of Favours has created a great stocking stuffer or gift that follows the format.
