Legoland Review

We love Legos in our house. So when our homeschool group set up a field trip to Legoland we were so excited!  Legos everywhere? Lego Rides? Lego stores? Lego themed show??  Oh yeah! Sounds like fun!

 How cute is this??  I can't believe all of the detail.  I know I expected detail, but they really did put small details into every part of the park.  I think this is so fantastic for the kids imaginations!  You can build pretty much anything with legos!

This is so crazy!! It's the space shuttle built out of legos! Not only fun, but educational too!

I LOVE this pirate ship!!  One of my favorite parts of mini land!

And the shows were totally cool!! We were so entertained! So exciting!

And I can't forget the boys favorite part of going...Star Wars!

It was a fantastically fun day at Legoland Florida.  Entertaining, terrific fun on the rides, and sights to see everywhere you turn.  What a great field trip!

*The review is purely my opinion when my family visited here. (pictures are from our trip). I was not compensated for this post.

Isadoras Gourmet Goods Review and Giveaway

Isadoras Gourmet Goods Review and Giveaway

Isadora's Gourmet Goods is created from a farm that lies along the Columbia River in Washington. It is a family business, that, from veggie and fruit gardens,  makes wonderful, healthful certified organic products.

This is certainly one of my favorite new shops! I had so much fun reviewing this lovely shop.  The flavors sooth your spirit and make your taste-buds so happy! But not only that, the scents from the lavender infused items invigorated your senses! 

I am so excited when I here about a sustainable shop... I love to garden, but am not able to get much from it.  So when someone dedicates so much to creating their product, it means so much more when you take the time to enjoy it.

First we had a chance to review some jam.

 This is the Organic Lavender Jam

 

 

 LOVE this!!

  

 It is smooth, fragrant, and yummy.  I cannot believe how good it is.  While you can put this on many things, I learned my favorite thing to put it on is homemade biscuits!!  It has a wonderful fresh flavor. 

The Organic Blackberry Lavender Jam...

No junk!! Only the freshest ingredients. I think it is wonderful that Isadora's grows what they put in their products.  I can just imagine the rows of lavender that are growing to put in this wonderful jam!

 

 The pickled beets!

 

 Our beets are ready to be eaten... and eaten they were!  They were better than I remember my great grandmother's pickled beets to be.  I don't know how, but these were pickled to perfection.

 

 Seseame Ginger Sauce and Marinade 

 We marinated the chicken...

Ok, so here's where I oops-ed.  The chicken smell and looked SO GOOD...

I forgot to get a picture of the finished product!!! We just wanted to eat it and I forgot!

So, ----insert beautifully cooked chicken that smells delicious and tastes even better here----- (how is that possible??!!  It smells amazing!)

But, the flavor was spot on.  So, so delish!!  The best Sesame Ginger glaze we have had to date!

Isadoras Gourmet Goods has many other different items as well... from Organic Lavender Honey Mustard to Bistro Dressing and Organic Pepper Jelly, you can certainly find something to add to your table!  Be sure to check them out!

Giveaway Closed. Congratulations Becky!
