Label Maker Review : Epson Label Maker lw-600 review Recently I was ask the Review the Epson LW-600 Label maker.  What is so great about this printer is a it can use either your computer or an app on your phone to create the label.  So labels on the go.    Quickly and easy with no wires all through blue tooth.   My daughter created her own.

For me the Epson was a winner In the past I was always looking for cord or adapters.  The Epson LW-600 was so easy I find in not as cumbersome as older style label makers so I use it more.

We used  label everything for my daughter for school outside,  My daughter did her own .  The App has a huge variety of different fonts and logos and very easy for a ( year old to use.   You just open the box add batteries or the cord for power, down load the add and ad the label cartridge as instructed and you are off and printing labels.

Udis Gluten Free and Meal Planning

14 Comments

udisI was recently asked to try Udis Gluten free products.  When the Udis people sent me the baked products to review,   I was able to try Udis muffins, cookies, bread, fajitas, and pizza dough.  I was not  sure what to expect of gluten free product, I have heard from my gluten free friends that well some gluten free food can be well unpleasant.  I was pleasantly surprised by Udis the food was delicious  and flavorful.

Udis Gluten Free Review

Vanilla Muffins we amazing buttery, moist, and yummy.  I have to let you know the Udis Vanilla muffins were like eating a pound cake they were some of the best muffins I have had a in sometime. udis blueberry muffins

The blueberry muffins we very tasty and my kids really enjoyed the very generous amount of blueberries.  The Udis Snicker Doodles are super yummy.  I allowed the kid to have a few cookies.  I have to admit I hid them so the kids would not eat them all. udis gluten free rolls

My husband has sever psoriasis and it is recommend to go gluten free to help his condition.  We decided to try the  Udis bake goods and try to convince him there are options of great food options when you go gluten free.  The Udis brownie bites defiantly helped to seal the deal.   The Udis brownies are rich and thick and fudge.

I have heard many gluten free people say this is amazing  when referring to something (personally I think they have been eating tasteless food for so long they don’t know what good food is. )  I have to say the Udis food developers really came through, delivering  a great bake good that would make a gluten free person or  any baker proud.   So if you are gluten free or thinking of the option of just plan great tasting bake goods I can recommend Udis.

Meal Planning:

  • Monday: Fish and Rice
  • Tuesday Pasta with meat sauce
  • Wednesday: Grill Night shcaboobs
  • Thursday:  Pizza kids return
  • Friday: tator tot casserole  I am using “crown or flat round”  tater tots

Lindsay Phillips Ballet Flat Review

shoes with emblished snapsI recently had the opportunity to review Lindsay Phillips Ballet Flat with snap on entitlements,  I love these shoes they are comfy and fashionable.   They are prefect for this spring.  These shoes have a Fashion feature snap embellishment options,  which make the choices of Lindsay Phillips shoes endless.

The Lindsay Phillips shoes are made of quality materials.  I received the Liz Ballet flat in Neutral Canvas.  The color is great for the spring and compliments many colors.  The lovely option of these flats are the snap embellishments.  The shoes come with a zipper like rosette.  The rosettes snap off and you can change them to many different available optional snaps.  Purchased separately the snaps  options are fantastic. You can quickly change your Lindsay Phillips shoe snap to coordinate  with many outfits and jewelery.  For a head to toe finished fashionable look.   The company even have a Mystery 5 or 10 pack of snaps available for purchase,  I love that Idea because I was having a hard time choosing.ballet shoes

A little history of Lindsay Phillips  started the idea company as a flip flop shoe project in ceramics in High School.  She then went to college   thinking about the interchange able Flip flop.  After graduating she worked for Ralph Lauren,  then with an investment from her mother she started her own company.  The Switch Flop is a flip flop was her first big seller, it uses hook and loop tapes which allows you to change the straps and front embellishments  on your Switch flop.  The are super cute  fun and flirty.   Lindsay built a multimillion dollar company catering to women’s needs for more shoe looks.  Yea! women owned business.

Back to these stellar flats, I love the idea that the shoes I received are so comfy and fit  in my budget ($64).  With the ablity to change the look they are great for traveling,  because they are easy packable and flexible to my busy life style.  Great for my everyday fashion.

I received 2 different embellished  snaps with my shoes.  The Audra Snap  (sale for $9) which are a great emerald color and Dorothy Snap ($15.95) which are a raffia like with a great gem in the middle.   I love also they idea that that Lindsay Phillips offer a variety of shoes so you can use the snaps on the wedges, heels, and switch flops year round. shoe emblishmentsSo you want to know how easy they are to use.  Watch my video review:

The Lindsay Phillips Liz Ballet Flat  shoes cost $64
