Hormel Compleats Kids Meals a Review

Through SheSpeaks Hormel asked that I try the Compleats Kids Meals and then write a review.  (Actually in the program survey to see if you qualify it asked specifically if you had a blog and if so would you be willing to write a review... I clicked Yes)

Anyways in the mail today came a package of four different meals to try (1) Spaghetti and Meatballs, (2) Pasta and Chicken, (3) Beef Ravioli, and (4) Macaroni and Beef.  They looked kinda neat... like T.V. dinners for small people.  They all had the same directions.  Poke it, throw in the micro for 45 secs and then let chill for a min.

Well with all this variety I let the kids pick out their own meals.  Mara picked out the Spaghetti and Meatballs.    When asked what she thought she said she like it and ate it all gone.


Theresa picked the Ravioli.  When asked if she liked it she said she was being careful and would not burn herself.  Then she continued to eat.  I thought that was a yes.  She ate 3/4 of her bowl


Timmy picked a box and started eating it.  It was the Pasta and Chicken box.  When I actually made it he seemed to like it.  I didn't get any pictures of him though because I was feeding him.  It's hard to do both at the same time.  He ate it all gone.

Overall the kids liked it, and it was fast and convenient.  On the inside of the box it had some games to play as a family and each kiddo got a sticker.  They really liked those.  I'm on the fence as to whether to buy them or not.  I'm not a real big micro dinner girl but maybe when we have a sitter cause Tim and I are going out.  I'll have to check what the price is.  We'll see.

Hormel Foods provided samples ofHormel® Compleats® Kids Microwave Meals for me and my family to try. No payment was given and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

church without walls

Church is not a place of four walls that people meet in on Sunday but a community of believers that stretches back through time to the Church of Acts and far into the future.  It encompasses all believers and should stretch out it's hand to the community surrounding it.  To celebrate we had Church Without Walls this last Sunday at the Park.  Fun times


Later that day I went to my mom's house and took some pictures of her flowers.  I hope you like.

Car Wash

I went and took pictures of the car wash my church was hosting.  It was kinda fun.  Here are the best ones.

Marching Along

Well so far March is going along well.  I got a new camera as a tax return present and so there will be many pictures to come.  The kids had a fun birthday party, Timmy turned 1 and Mara turned 6.  We celebrated at the park with some good friends and family.  Christen (my sis-in-law) made the cakes again.  She did an awesome job doing a Noah's ark cake for Timmy and a Castle Cake for Mara.  (I helped with the castle cake).


After the party we went up to my parents new house in Pinetop.  The kids had a blast hiking all around.  While there we saw Elk, Squirrels, a Skunk, Crawdad.  Plus we saw a Coyote on the way back.  Although the kids favorite part was going to the park and sliding on the slide.  Plus we got to eat at Charlie Clark's, supper yummy.  Mara wants to go back again.
