Pistachios, pecans, cashews, peanuts, pignolias, sunflower seeds and much more can be purchased on the farm. The nuts come raw, roasted, some spiced up and unsalted. To ensure quality and freshness we roast and package our nuts on the farm. The Bates family takes pride in providing a quality product at a fair price. It’s part of the tradition.

Easter Treats for kids

by

We love to make treats to give out in my son’s class for pretty much any holiday, and I wanted to share this super cute idea I found for Easter treats.

It is a little play on smores, items needed:  Graham crackers (will use two per child) 1 tiny chocolate bar (last year we used chocolate bunnies) and 1 marshmallow peep (in whatever color you choose)

Lindt_Gold_Bunny_100g_Milk_Chocolate_67113_large

To make use place two graham crackers, 1 tiny chocolate bar, and a marshmallow peep inside a cute plastic bag that you can see through.  Add a cute note saying to use as a smore, then write a note from your child and include it inside.

Enjoy!  For another fun Easter treat idea click here.

Ergobaby new 360 carrier review and more!

by

This post is written by me on behalf of Liz Lange and Ergobaby.  Product was provided.

Baby Bloggy Bootcamp was a few weeks ago and I got the privilege of attending and learning about the hottest newest baby products out on the market. They were demonstrating new baby products that are about to hit the shelves. I love the new stuff from Ergobaby and Liz Lange Maternity. I was so excited to see the new products Ergo had and the new fashions of Liz Lange.

Ergobaby was demonstrating their new carrier the Ergo 360.  I was excited to see all the new upgrades.  I have used the Original Ergo for several years and loved it. It was used daily for 3 years and still looks brand new, so I know what quality to expect. The Ergo 360 has added features, such as a wider back belt waistband that Velcro’s and now has forward facing ability. I know forward facing has it’s dangers to the childs hips, but somehow Ergo has solved this problem.  Baby actually sits in the Ergo instead of dangling as other front carriers tend to do.  The baby’s knees are still above their bottom as they are facing inward. The new added features makes babywearing a lot more comfortable. I was so excited to use the new Ergo 360, my husband, baby and I headed to the local vineyard for a tour to test out the new carrier.

Ergo also demoed their Ergobaby Wrap.  The fabric on the wrap is incomparable to other baby wraps out there. It’s soft, comfortable, and the wrap keeps baby close to your body and your heart.

I also got to check out the newest from Liz Lange. Liz Lange Maternity offers comfortable maternity fashion at affordable prices.  The dresses are so velvety soft, feels like pure luxury.  Their maxi dresses are figure flattering and feels like pajamas. It almost make me want to get pregnant again, almost.
