International Delight Iced Coffee Tasting Party #IcedCoffee #Cbias



A couple of nights ago I had some family members come over for my International Delight Coffee Tasting Party. I was excited to see how much everyone would like the iced coffee. I had already tried it and loved it. I set up the table with the coffee and the lemon bars I has made.



International Delight Iced Coffee comes in three flavors, Original, Vanilla, and Mocha. Unfortunately, not all the flavors were available in my area. But no problem, we would have a great event with the Original and Vanilla flavors.



Pouring out the coffee. I used large glasses because I know everyone is a coffee lover here.

International Delight #IcedCoffee


It looks so delicious!



I put whip cream on whoever wanted it for their coffee. It made it seem more like what you would order in a coffeehouse.The original flavor got more votes than the vanilla, which surprised me. I liked both flavors equally well. The kids were having milk, not coffee, but they knew it looked tasty.




Everyone helped themselves. Our family has tried other coffee drinks and not always liked them, so I was happy that everybody liked the International Delight brand. My son-in-law said he liked the vanilla the best. When I told everyone how inexpensive the coffee was, they liked it even more!



The #IcedCoffee was a definite hit, and they all said they would be buying it for their own households. My lemon bars were a hit, too. By the end of the night both the half gallon cartons were empty.



Thanks everyone. We had great coffee and a great time!

This Time Last Year Valentines


You know the saying time flies by when your having fun. Well we must be having a blast around here because everyday it seems time is going by faster and faster. This is my little guy last year eating some Valentines goodies. I adore this little angel and he makes me a better person everyday.

Today in the store he spotted some Valentines teddy bears and ran over to them and hugged them and gave them kisses. He is such a sweetheart! He even listened when I asked him to put them back since they lived at the store and it was their nap time lol.

Organic Wacky Apple Review and Giveaway


My family loves apples. I like to make sure I eat an apple a day, but my son does not like to eat apple slices. He does like apple juice and apple sauce. He is picky about the brands he will eat. He has to have them sweet and delicious! I was happy to be able to offer him Wacky Apple treats for Valentines instead of lots of candies. I don't like him to eat hard or gummy candy and he can only eat so much chocolate so he was please when I let him eat as much Wacky Apple fruit flats and apple sauce that he wanted.




We tried several of the Wacky Apple products and liked them all. There is something about the flavor of organic foods like apples that just taste so much better than conventional apples.

The first product we tried was the Wacky Apple Fruit Flats. He loved them and wanted to eat them all in one sitting so I had to hide a few! I liked them as well. The Apple Cinnamon was my favorite and his was the Wild Berry. The Wild Berry even has organic blackberries in it, YUM! This is a sweet treat I feel good about giving him. Its organic and good for him.



Next we tried the Wacky Apple Applesauce. My son loves to eat apple sauce. He takes it out of the fridge and brings it to me almost daily. He liked the Cinnamon one the most and oddly he did not like the Wild Berry one even though he loved the Fruit Flat in that flavor. Hes such the critic lol. I tried a flavor that made me say "Wow" and I had to keep it all to myself! The Apricot Applesauce was unlike an applesauce I have tasted. It was so sweet with the flavor unique and balanced. The best part about Wacky Apple Applesauce is they use locally sourced apples and there is never any added sugar or artificial ingredients or colors. Just pure organic deliciousness!

Enjoying his Wacky Apple Cinnamon Applesauce


The last item we tried was the Wacky Apple Juices. My son LOVES juice. He asks for it all the time. I try to monitor his intake so when I do give him juice I want it to be quality and of course tasty. We tried the Grape, Fruit Punch and Apple Grape juices. His favorite was the Apple Grape. The juice comes in a little cup with a foil lid that you can poke a straw into. This was great since it made it easy for him to hold and not squeeze everything out like he does with some juice pouches. Plus the little cups are great to save for painting crafts. Upcycling is awesome!


We love that Wacky Apple is family owned and operated. It feels great to support a company who values family like we do at Frugal Family Tree. You can buy Wacky Apple products online and you can find a local store near you using the store locator.  Many Walmarts are starting to carry them and hopefully will be at a store near you soon!

Sibu Beauty Review





Sibu Beauty is a line of skin care and personal products that contain a super ingredient called Sea Buckhorn. This is a berry that is harvested exclusively for Sibu Beauty in the Himalayas of Tibet.

The Sea Buckhorn berry contains over 190 bioactive compounds and is a powerful source of Omegas 3, 6 and 9. Sibu Beauty products also contain Omega-7, an essential fatty acid vital to collagen production and healthy skin, hair and nails. All products are 100% natural and PETA Certified.


I was sent the Facial Cream for review. It is made for all skin types and has a wonderful citrus fragrance. The packaging is pretty and I like the pump bottle. I have used it for seven days now and and I like it very much. It rubbed into my skin very smoothly, and left it feeling soft and refreshed.
I love knowing that it moisturizes and protects my skin from UV rays. It is perfect for daily use under makeup or all by itself.

I can't wait to try other Subi Beauty products, especially the Facial Soap and the Body Cream.
I admire the company's philosophy of treating it's workers well and paying them a fair wage . I also like their spirit of generosity and giving back.


You can go to their website at sibubeauty.com to learn more about the company and the amazing Sea Buckhorn Berry. You can also order products on line and find them at select stores.

Disney Treasure Buddies Now On DVD & Blu-ray Movie Review




Oh how we love the Buddies! My son adores these cute and adventurous pups. We have seen all the Buddies movies and Treasure Buddies is as good as the rest. As a lover of archeology and a fascination with ancient Egypt I thought this was a cool movie too. It was a fun movie to watch with my son. The story line was simple enough for kids and kept adults interested as well. The story is about the Buddies traveling to Egypt to stop an evil cat from trying to find the ancient cats eye necklace that will band dogs from being mans best friend. The movie is a a cute dog vs cats with the story about a cat's desire for power.




Treasure Buddies Story Plot:
Canine superstars Rosebud, B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha and Mudbud, as the pup pack journeys to mysterious Egypt in search of the greatest treasure known to animalkind, the legendary Cat’s Eye jewel, from the lost treasure of Cleocatra! Danger lurks around every secret sphinx, cryptic crypt and puzzling pyramid as Ubasti, a devious cat, schemes to possess the mystical jewel and use its powerful energy to rid the planet of all dogs! With help from new lovable friends Cammy, a baby camel - and a mischievous monkey named Babi - the gang and their new friends avoid booby traps, solve puzzles and explore a mysterious tomb in their most exciting and challenging adventure yet.












We are fans of the Disney Buddies on facebook so we can stay up to date on all the latest Buddies news. You can play some fun games on the Treasure Buddies website including a decoder game with Egyptian hieroglyphics.
