I really love the smell of this soap, The Apricot leaves behind a soft scent on your skin. I've been using it in the morning on my face asa cleanser, It "wakes" my face up! I also love how the scrubby side gently massages as you use it. My son really liked the little ducky soap I also recieved(which was the Citrus Basil glycerine with fresh orange peel). It was so cute and the smell was so fresh and clean. I didn't have any problem gettin Hayden to get cleaned up with his new ducky pal. Its pretty cool because you can buy these little ducky sample soaps so you can see which scents are your favorite and trust me you'll be coming back for the big bars! Also right now Whimsy Wares is having a mother's day sale! All soaps are BUY 2 GET ONE FREE ($4-$5.50 value), all you have to do is enter your free bar choice in the "message to seller" section whe your checking out!

Well I made my mini chocolate lava cakes tonight and they were a big hit with me and my kiddos! They were fairly simple to make(while chasing kiddos) and only take 10 minutes to bake! Each mix will make 6 medium ramekin cakes, We decided to top our desserts with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Hayden and Rylee dug right in and polished off their bowls. My mother also came over for dinner tonight and I ased if she could taste anything different about her cake she couldn't figure anything out that tasted out of the ordinary, I had to show her the package to prove they were really gluten free.(lol) I love how the chocolate flavor wasn't too overwhelming with he chocolate cake and the oozing center. MMM the ooey gooey "lava" inside each cake makes these treats taste AMAZING! I wanted to say thanks again to Gluten Freedom in hosting this review and giveaway!

Here's the fun part where you can enter to win this DELICIOUS cake mix!

First off here's a little information about the Local Boy Bakery. They are based out of Charlotte,North Carolina. Everything is natural and handemade, they only use European style butter,unbleached flour and free range chicken eggs in their products, unless it's labeled gluten-free or vegan. They make your product when you order it to make sure everything is fresh! All items are shipped in heat sealed bags. When I got my cookies I wanted to take pictures of them when I first got them and then some when we tried them but of course Hayden and Rylee weren't fixing to wait for my batteries to charge before the dug in! I was so excited to try the Lemon Rosemary cookies and Im not even a big fan of lemon either but these cookies were so delicious! They were very moist and still fresh coming all the way from NC to TEXAS! I lovethe unique flavor that burst into your mouth when you bite into one. Hayden and Rylee on the other hand preferred the Chocolate Chip Toffee cookies and of course I had to try some of the Chocolate Chip Toffee cookie too..for the review yanno? :) They tasted amazing! I mean first of all who does like Chocolate Chip cookies? Then they had just the right amount of Toffee for a delicious flavor but not a big hard crunch from the toffee. I was very impressed with the cookies they were kind enough to send me and I am so happy I had the opportunity to work with the Local Boy Bakery, thanks again!! And guess what they didn't forget about my readers either! They are offering one of my readers a 3 flavor box of 1 dozen cookies. I know your already drooling right? Me too :( but its too bad im excluded from the giveaway! But anyways here's your chance to get your hands on these mouth watering cookies! This giveaway will end on May 11th!
