Gift Ideas for Christmas in July: Smart Cart! #Picnic #Travel #Shopping #GiftIdeas

Posted on July 24, 2017 by MsMingo

Spring and Summertime for my household is about going on little adventures. My daughter and I truly enjoy going for picnics at the park and since she is not really that little anymore we don’t tend to bring her stroller as much as we used to. We just loved having it for those days when we would be taking multiple items with us and it made it easy for me to get everything together. Smart Cart is a great replacement for that. I love that it easily folds down when we are not using it. I love that I am able to carry everything we will need for our picnics or even load it up when taking groceries into the house. It really makes our days easier. Continue reading →

Posted on July 24, 2017 by MsMingo

Chelsea and I are always excited to try new things. We were excited to find out that we would be able to test out Graeter’s Ice Cream. Normally we are the types to get the cheapest ice cream available. Chelsea and I wanted to try a flavor that we had not had yet so we decided to try Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. I thought that it was really sweet and delicious. I loved that it is pint size since we don’t have a large freezer and its a perfect size for sharing.
