Fairytale Brownies Review

Chocolate is my number one weakness.  I try to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly, but I cannot resist the luscious goodness of chocolate.  How can you say no to a deliciously sweet and rich chocolate chip cookie or brownie? It's next to impossible.  There is no discriminating when it comes to sweets in my book because cookies, cake, and brownies are loved equally by me. When's the last time you indulged in a fabulous piece of chocolate cake? 

Fairytale Brownies are premium all-natural brownies and cookies that come in mouth-watering flavors such as caramel, cheesecake swirl, chocolate chip, cream cheese and many more.   You'll instantly find a favorite.  These delectable treats are perfect for not only Valentine's Day but every day of the week too.  Choose from different sweet treat sizes including full-size brownies, snack-size Fairytale Sprites, and bite-sized Magic Morsels.  Don't worry that they may be small, they still pack a big taste.

 The brownies and cookies are offered as a box of 12, 24, 36, 48, and come in multiple box towers that make a wonderful gift.  You can find the combination box that offers the right flavor and size mix that suits your needs.  There is no flavor or size mix that I wouldn't instantly attack if given the opportunity.  I doubt I would even come up for air either.  If you're looking for the perfect gift for your boss, colleague, or even son's teacher, anything from Fairytale Brownies would make an excellent gift. Don't forget to treat yourself to a delicious cheesecake swirl brownie too.

My stomach was so happy when it was able to taste an assortment of 24 brownies from Fairytale Brownies.  I don't blame it at all! The Valentine Double Dozen is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day.  Showing your significant other you love them with delicious brownies is the smartest thing you could do.

Every flavor of brownies that Fairytale Brownies creates is represented in this box.  You'll be able to delight your taste buds with such yummies as cool mint, toasty walnut, caramel, and smooth cream cheese among many others.

I had no problem diving right into these brownies.  Can you blame me though? Not only were these goodies beautiful to look at, they were also equally as gorgeous in my stomach! These square beauties were so tasty that I had to control myself from eating the entire box.  The brownies were soft, moist and full of delicious chocolate flavor.  I hadn't enjoyed anything this delicious in a long, long time.

My two favorite flavors hands down were cream cheese and mint.  The cream cheese added a nice texture and flavor to the chocolate which was fantastic. The cream cheese swirl design on top was really appealing.   I really liked how each bite was equal part cream cheese and chocolate.  Consistency is always nice! Mint and chocolate are two classic flavors and this pairing did not disappoint in the slightest.  Sometimes the flavor of mint is too strong and overpowers the chocolate, but not in this case.  The cool flavor of mint combined with sweet chocolate provided everything I could want out of a brownie.  I enjoyed each and every bite and can't wait to try the rest of the flavors soon.

No brownie is complete without an icy cold glass of milk to wash it down with.  Don't forget to pair your sweet treat with milk for a snack you won't soon forget.

If you're looking to make Valentine's Day the ultimate event this year, Fairytale Brownies is waiting for your order.

Teaching Your Child is The Best Thing You Can Do

In my opinion there's nothing more important than educating and teaching your child. Whether you have a 15 month old or a 10 year old, it doesn't matter.  There's always something essential that they need to know, and it's up to you to provide that information.

There are tons of educational toys and books in my house for Scarlett.  For months she would play with them and I didn't think she was retaining any of the lessons because she was so young.  The books I would read taught colors, letters, numbers, and animals.  Even if she didn't fully understand, it's always good to reach to your child no matter what.

Make sure to read to your child daily

Now that Scarlett is almost 14 months old, I've seen a big change in the past 2-3 months in what she can grasp and retain.  She knows a few select words and it's so rewarding as a parent to see your child growing and developing.  As a parent you put so much time and effort into teaching and shaping your child to be the best they can be.  It's amazing when that day finally comes and they understand and can tell you exactly what you want them to do.  I believe repetition is key to having your child retain knowledge.  Show them a book of animals and say this is the white cat, this is the black dog, etc.  They'll learn colors and animals at the same time and soon enough they'll be able to show you the picture of the dog when asked.

Learning through play

A very exciting moment happened yesterday with Scarlett and I.  We were reading a book and there was a picture of the moon in it.  I pointed to the moon and then I asked her to show me where the moon was herself, which she did.  I was so impressed and couldn't believe she did it, and I asked her many times afterwards and she showed me each time. Since I'm a stay-at-home-mom, my job is to be with Scarlett all day.  The days can be long and tiring, but a moment like this makes all of the exhaustion go away.  I felt like I had succeeded as a parent and taught my child, and you cannot put a price tag on that.

I can't wait to see how much Scarlett learns in the next few months, I'm sure she'll continue to surprise and impress me time and time again.  This is such an exciting time and there's nothing like seeing your child learn.

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs on DVD!

Disney movies were my absolute favorite when I was child.  The first movie that I saw in theaters was Beauty and the Beast when I was three years old.  There's just something so intriguing and wonderful about each and every Disney movie.  Of course everyone has their favorite title, there's no denying that.

Now that I have my own child, I can't wait to show her the classics when she's old enough to appreciate them.  My parents still have all of my old Disney VHS tapes in the clamshell case in their garage.  They saved them for me when I had a child, but it might be easier to upgrade to DVD at this point.

Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs is a forever enchanting and inspiring film that any child would fall in love with.  The flick embodies The Walt Disney Signature Collection's legacy of animation.  In this epic story of love and friendship, the kind and beautiful princess Snow White wins the hearts of the Seven Dwarfs and triumphs over the evil plans of a wicked queen.  This movie was deemed "The Greatest Animated Film of All Time" by the American Film Institute.  You can own a copy on Blu-Ray debuting February 2nd, or you can enjoy the crystal clear HD version that's available now.  

The best part about this timeless classic is that it has has special never before seen features for the whole family to enjoy.  Gather the kids around the screen for a movie night that they'll love.  Don't forget plenty of snacks!

If you're introducing your children to the movie for the first time, it'll surely capture your hearts.  You'll surely be interested in such bonus features including "In Walt's Words: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Iconography", "The Fairest Facts of Them All: 7 Facts You May not Know About Snow White", and many more! I don't want to ruin any surprises, but you'll definitely be pleasantly surprised.

I can't wait to show Scarlett Snow White when she's old enough to appreciate it.  I just know she'll love it.  There's nothing like seeing the magical wonder of a Disney movie through your child's eyes.
