My Review

Finding good snacks has been, for me, one of the hardest parts when on my journey to living a greener lifestyle. It can be difficult to give up years of bad habits when it comes to snack foods. Any busy mom can tell you that although we do our best to make sure our kids are eating right, we tend to not be so picky when it comes to ourselves. When you're tired and hungry, you reach for whatever is available.

I was really surprised that Almondina sent such a large package for review. Very pleased though! Here is what I received:

I know what you're thinking! Low calorie, no added fat or salt, no cholesterol, it can't be that good, right? Wrong! I devoured the whole bag of Almondina Chocolate Cherry in about 30 minutes!

That particular flavor is my favorite, but the others are really good too!

These are great snacks that are good for you! What more do you want in a cookie?

They are great in the morning with coffee or as an afternoon snack.

They also have a really great back story that you can read about here. They are made using the secret recipe of the owner's grandmother:

GRANDMA DINA’S SECRET RECIPE...

This Delectable award-winning cookie recipe is prepared just the way Grandma Dina used to make in her kitchen.

If you've been thinking about getting some, DO IT! They are really great!

How I Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

Today I want to talk about something that tends to be taboo on some blogs. Money.

The truth is, no matter how much you love blogging, blogging alone doesn't pay the bills. Many of the bloggers that I know are stay-at-home moms like myself who could really use some extra cash but are afraid to push affiliate links for fear of losing their readership.

This is a very valid concern, as you certainly don't want to push a bunch of spammy affiliate links onto people who have no interest in those products or services.

But clouding up your readers' news feeds with irrelevant links is not the only way to go with affiliate marketing.

I currently average about $100-$200 a month using affiliate marketing using just one affiliate network. And I'm still learning.

Here is a screenshot of what I made for the month of May using the ShareASale Network:

Find Great Wedding Gifts at Layla Grace and Get 15% Off Through 6/30

It can be really hard to choose the perfect wedding gift. I'm always worried that they won't like the gift or that I'm buying something that they already have, especially if they are not registered anywhere.

That's why I like shopping online, there is so much variety and unique stores to choose from, and my favorite (which you may know if you follow this blog) is Layla Grace.

Whether you're looking for wedding gifts, baby gifts, or any other type of gifts, you can always find something unique at Layla Grace.

Now through June 30th Layla Grace is offering 15% off wedding gifts with code BRIDE2BE.

Here's a couple of tips for buying great wedding gifts

• Don't be afraid to go small. Many times its the small things that get remembered, especially if they know you put some thought into it.

Petite Rose Blue Small Creamer Pitcher - $14.00

This adorable little creamer pitcher is only $14.00 AND is shipped free. Not including the 15% off coupon! If you're bride or groom drinks coffee, you know they'll use it and love it.

Ribbon Rose Blue Sugar Bowl - $16.00

If you're feeling generous, add the matching sugar bowl! That's two great gifts for under $30!

• Get Personal

New brides love to see their new names plastered on everything. I know I did! Get them something that they will last and keep those special memories alive like this personalized Decoupage Picture Frame touting the new couples' name.

 

Forever Creme Announcement Personalized Decoupage Picture Frame - $52.00

Or something both personalized and useful like this beautiful personalized tray. Don't forget to go over for tea or coffee so they can show it off to you!

Boatman Geller Personalized Wrought Iron Gray Lucite Tray - $58.00


The truth is, they will probably love whatever you get them, just put a little thought into it. Go see what else Layla Grace has before this sale ends. You and the happy couple will surely be pleased!
