Sample share: #DiscoverCampbells New Products

To date, this was one of my favorite crowdtap sample shares. I had so much fun creating dishes I normally wouldn't think of, and Campbell's made it so easy! We were given quite a while to complete this sample share. Halfway through, my laptop crashed. I lost most of my images from this sample share, which really bummed me out since I had worked hard on a handful of creative images before losing everything. The kit included:

• campbell's cutting board
• campbell's shaker
• campbell's wooden mixing spoon
• coupon book (including a free v8 coupon and recipe book)
• creamy poblano & queso condensed soup this is the only item I haven't gotten around to trying yet!
• sweet onion soups for easy cooking I made amazing mini-meatloafs with this soup! My kids loved them, and I will definitely be buying this product again!
• swanson traditional cream starter I made loaded potato soup with this. Way easier than I thought it would be, and so, so good! This was my most-bragged about dish!
• prego alfredo sauce I made ranch with bacon mac & cheese with this. I used provolone instead of monterey jack, since I had forgotten to grab some at the store. This was a pretty big hit!
• campbell's skillet sauces: creamy parmesan chicken I made the creamy Parmesan chicken with this. Super easy, the only ingredients were the sauce, chicken, and a tablespoon of vegetable oil! I used bowtie pasta and scored the chicken on sale. The kids ate every bite!
• campbell's chunky beer-n-cheese soup I wasn't expecting to like this soup as much as I did. It was tasty and filling.
• spaghetti O's micros taste like spaghetti O's. I prefer them in a can, but these were easy to heat for a quick lunch or snack. 
• campbell's slow kettle soup: roasted chicken noodle This soup is so good! I wish it was just a tad cheaper in stores, because I would buy it all the time if it were! Very tasty. 

Overall, a great, positive experience. I grew up a campbell's fan (my mom still collect the mugs!) and it was fun to try their other products besides the regular soups. It was great to be able to share the experience with my children (two of which are young foodies!) and learn about quick, easy, tasty meals for a family who is always on the go! Right below, I have shared the photos taken after the great laptop crash of 2014. They are from the loaded potato soup and creamy chicken Parmesan dinners.

Sample Share: Sweet n low holiday

I've done a few sweet n low sample shares in the past (Team Sweet N Low and Sweet n low sampling). This one was by far my favorite! It came with some cool swag:

tote bag, purse hook, recipe card, and samples!

I love, love, love the tote bag! It's cute and functional. I will get many uses out of it! The first thing I did when I got my kit was bring the sweet N low to work with me to give out as samples to my crew:

Next, I needed to plan when and where I was going to whip up the Eggnog. I called my mom who asked for my kids to come over and help make Christmas cookies. I was struck by inspiration: what goes better with cookies than eggnog??? With visiting friends and family, I was sure to reach more people! So I gathered everything up to go to my moms a few days later:

finished product!

I had never tried eggnog that didn't come pre-made in a carton, so I didn't exactly know what to expect. I loved this eggnog! It was so tasty (and no weird after taste! I polled everyone for their feedback, since that is the number one thing I hear when asking people about their sweetener usage-I've sampled sweet n low, truvia, and equal!) and perfect paired with our raw cookie dough (I mean....oops!). I saved this recipe card so I can make it again-it was THAT good!

multi-tasking!

eggnog in one hand, beer in the other!

selfie time!!

Bob is so fancy!

showing off samples!

she's so excited ;)

Sample share: Cottonelle Deck the stalls holiday party

Late last month, I got accepted into the Cottonelle deck the stalls sample share. It was one of the most fun sample shares I've done! 5 Cottonelle fresh care flushable cleansing cloth dispensers were  mailed out to me, as well as decorating supplies (we added our own hot glue gun and markers!), coupons, and holiday conversation cards. I got together with some of my friends and family (and had my two oldest kiddos help out!) and we each made our own dispenser to show off in our own spot (most common place: bathroom sinks/on top of toilets. One ended up on my mom's kitchen counter!). I've done a review of the Cottonelle clean care routine previously (read up on it here!) and I still LOVE these wipes! They are very handy and have become a must-buy when we battle any viruses. Nothing but the freshest, best clean for my boys! I just wanted to show off our dispensers and all the work that went into them. Check out all our photos below (yes, I went a little camera happy!)
