Sahale Snacks Nut Mixes


Thanks to Crowdtap and Sahale Snacks I was given 33lbs of Nuts to share with my community for Free!  We had a community wide Halloween Trunk or Treat where I handed out these awesome snacks. I had to try all the amazing different flavors for my self as well and here is my opinion of them all:



Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews Glazed Mix- This is by far my favorite nut mix by Sahale Snacks!! I love the sweet flavor of the Vanilla and the little tart bites of pomegranate complement it very nicely! It probably helps the Cashews are one of my favorite nuts I love the way the crunch in your mouth!! Could eat this mix all day long! 


Classic Fruit + Nut Trail Mix - This one was not quite what I was expecting at first but I still love it. This snack mix is defiantly more focused on the dried fruit then the nuts. So this blend is more chewy and sweet then it is crunchy. My son loves this one the most. But I was so excited to find pistachios in this mix!! I love pistachios and you don't often find them in nut mixes! 


Raspberry Crumble Cashew Mix - This was once again another good flavor combo. I would of never put raspberries with bananas together but it totally works! However I was not in love with the peanuts in this mixture, I think it could do with out them.


Honey Almonds Glazed Mix - is good but I defiantly need to be in the right mood for it. Its not quite as sweet as I expected it to be.The toasted sesame seeds give it more of a saltier taste but the cranberries help bring the sweet back! This ones good but definitely not it my top favorite.  Plus the almond skins get stuck in my teeth and drive me crazy.


Berry Macaroon Almond Mix - Sahale Snacks has a lot of winning combinations but this is not one of them for me. They say this blend is inspired by a love for macaroon cookies, and I love those cookies but I don't like this blend. I think its the tart lemon that ruins it for me.

iBaby Monitor M6T

The iBaby Monitor M6T is easy to set up, all you do it plug it in to your phone, sync to internet and download the app. The first time I downloaded it the internet synced just fine but the video dint appear until I closed the app and restated it. Other then that I haven't had any issues with it connecting to the internet. The App is very user friendly and straight forward. The app lets you move the camera with just a swipe of your finger. You can take pictures or video of your baby, and my personal favorite is you can press a button and speak to your baby or play a song. It comes preloaded with a few songs and stories but you can also down load your own or record your own songs which is what my son prefers the most! But be sure to be pretty loud when you are recording it because it plays pretty softly. There is also a motion sensor alarm that will sound if the baby moves. I set the alarm to low to medium other wise the alarm goes off to often. You can also add multiple users and devices so that others can see the baby too. So my husband has it on his phone and can check in on him when hes away at work.

Occasionally (I would say about 35% off the time) when I open up the app the camera does not load. When this happens if I unplug the monitor and then plug it back in again, it seems to work just fine again. This is a little frustrating when the baby is trying to go to sleep and you have to sneak back in the room again with out disturbing your baby. The camera is high quality and you can see lots of detail,  it also has a low light setting that it switches to automatically. The app calls it Night Vision but if there is no light then it doesn't pick anything up so I call it low light setting. This is a little frustrating seeing as my baby goes to sleep at night in the pitch dark, so the video is useless to me at bedtime.
It does have to be plugged in to the wall to work which is a little annoying because as kids get older they tend to mess with cords and I wouldn't want it to get broken. Hopefully they can produces a wireless option at some point. The camera does view 360 degrees horizontally but its got a stopping point where you then have to swipe it all the way around the opposite direction to see the who 360. I wish It could just continuously go around in circles. However my biggest complaint is that it only does a 110° tilt vertically. It doesn't angle down enough . I had it on a dresser that was 3 inches from the crib and it couldn't see the crib. I had to move the crib about 3 feet for the monitor to see inside it. However you can buy a wall mount which might solve the issue. Its got a few flaws that I think they could improve on but overall I really like my iBaby Monitor! I was give this product free for the purpose of my review!

EQtainment - Q Wunder


Thanks to @Tryazon I had the wonderful opportunity to experience and share the Q Wunder Board game, App and Tv Show, coloring book, and read along book all for free!! Q Wunder is all about a hansom little monkey named Q who teaches your kids important social and behavioral skills in a fun environment! It comes with cards that have questions which  are designed to promote feeling identification and communication, manners, social skills, creative thinking, balance, and coordination.The illustrations in the tv show, board game and coloring books are super cute and well done! Overall I think its a great tool to help kids learn social skills! The App even has a Quiz to learn more your child’s emotional and social strengths and areas to work on. My son LOVES monkeys, so he was instantly hooked and excited to play! He takes the Q stuff monkey to bed every night! The biggest issue I had was the fact that the Board game box was so hard to take the lid off. It literally took me 5 very frustrating minutes to open the box. #qwunder
