summer snack review {3}

June 27, 2009
biggby-mint-chip-edit
hello 

it’s summer snack review {3}! 

today we are reviewing Biggby Coffee’s Mint Chip Freeze 

same rating as before, 1 poor, 5 fabulous:

  • overall taste:  5  (if you love mint chocolate chip ice cream–you will love this!) 
  • added goodies:  4  (this was loaded with chocolate pieces, a spoon would have been better than a straw towards the end and the whip cream was super…the drizzle of chocolate could have been a tad more, but can there ever be enough?) 
  • size/value:  3  (i think we paid around $4.50 for a tall–which is a small….pretty pricey…although it is good)
  • “coffee-ness”:  doesn’t apply to this drink 
  • nutrition facts:  2  ( 677 calories / 30 grams of fat / 92 carbs / 81 grams of sugar)  oh my gosh! 677 calories for a small!  good thing my husband & i split it!!!!!  yikes!!!!

Over-all rating of Biggby Coffee’s Mint Chip Freeze:  3.5 

special note:  i was NOT able to locate ingredients on the Biggby website, so if food allergies are a concern for you, please contact your local Biggby before trying the Mint Chip Freeze.

have you had one?  what did you think?  let me know! 

…ahhhh…

i’ve been scrapping a little here & there. 

…between my son’s summer gym schedule, running errands, usual housework and enjoying our pool…. 

i have been wanting to scrap my blog for a while.  i was inspired by one of my scrapbooking magazines that showed a few blog-themed layouts.  i love how this turned out!  loooove using THICKERS, printed out my flair, hand-cut some clouds from scrap paper…used lots of 3D foam to make some of the embellishments ‘pop’…love the wood-grain brown paper for the background, (although it’s a little hard to see in the pictures).

my son does not like to have his pictures posted…so i block his face…lol 

(it’s a good thing my mom didn’t have a “blog” when i was young.) 

pool-09
our pool has been nothing but trouble this summer.  my wonderful husband has worked like crazy to get the parts that we needed and get it up and running.  he knows how much i love my pool.  thanks, honey  ; )

thanks for looking!

bowling-balls-edit
i haven’t blogged for the last few days…it’s been busy around here. 

a few extra nephews hanging out around the house lately….nick loves the company! 

they have enjoyed a few activities….like bowling & swimming… 

if you have little ones and you like to bowl, try kidsbowlfree.com 

kids under 15 can bowl TWO games EVERY day of the summer!!!!  for FREEEEEEEEEEE, yes free!!!!

including free shoe rental!!! 

(and for $23 you can join the family plan for up to 4 adults, then they can bowl two games EVERY day of summer!!!!)

pool-shimmer-edit
and 

we finally opened our pool!! 

perfect timing….the temps have been in the upper 80’s… 

snapped a few pix and of course, i had fun editing them on picnik.com! 

(notice the lack of people in the pool pictures??…took many pix, but 14 year olds do not want their pix posted on mom’s blog…lol) 

enjoy your weekend!

i used some Daisy Bucket paper….the “In The Meadow” line… i had bought a few sheets a week or two ago.  it caught my eye because it has some of my current favorite colors–teal, green & brown.  i love that color combo! 

i am really into making these layered button flowers right now.  anything goes!  there are many ways to do it….this one i just cut out different sizes of circles and layered them together, and stitched 2 coordinating buttons to the top of it!  ta-da!

of course the gift tag included a THICKER!!! 

thanks for stopping by!
