Cooking With Mommy

 Originally written 12/17/22 7:07pm 12/20/22 11:08pm I almost passed up this opportunity! I mentioned in my other (one of my other) blog posts that "life" kept happening! As it usually does! I just happen to go back & review my invitations (on this platform for brands, yada) & Thistle stood out to me. I told my daughter that I didn't want to start something that I couldn't finish. I'm all ready to my limit with brands, trying to figure out what direction I want to go in with several of them. I don't know what it was, Thistle was really intriguing to me. I can't remember if it was the day of (12/14) or the day after (12/15) my surgery, I received an email from Thistle. The VERY company that I had looked at again not too long ago! 8:28pm - On paper, we are a match made in heaven! Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Plant Forward, Organic (whenever possible), environmentally sustainable, sustainable sourcing, in addition to local sourcing!!! Like, this is ALL me...

Hello Love Muffins!   Long Time no See! Or so that's what it feels like to me! I was supposed to be back a little while ago but ...life! Since the last time I was here, I've added some newness to my life. I have MORE Brands that I'm working with now. I'm not sure if I ever told you all that I was a MAJOR workaholic many years ago. If not, it was bad. I went from never having a job for 18 years to having 3 jobs (simultaneously) by the time I was 20/21 (I think 20). Why is that significant? Because I have a really hard time turning down opportunities when it comes to brand deals (which doesn't work the way you think it does!)  Anyway! Let me tell you about these Deals that are going on Right Now!  *You know those viral videos of the Moms with the big houses/kitchens refilling the fridge or doing the pantry makeover? 9 times out of 10 those containers and bins are from  Smart Design ! Well, if you're trying to get organized before your Holiday Guests arrive; you ca...

Hello 👋🏾, how are you guys? I'm trying to put my foot in the door 🚪 . I'm trying to ease back into this "blogger situation. I will start with a Company that is new to me. (This blog post like ALL the others are NOT sponsored... Though that would be nice. 😏) I saw the ad for this company several times on various social media sites and really never paid it any attention... Because I don't care for ads. The ad that caught my attention included the fact that for every however much they donate a meal 🍴. I personally like companies that care about the world 🗺, whether it's recycling ♻ (that's a huge plus ➕ for me), donating food 🍲, water, clothes, etc. Another big plus for me was the fact that everything is Organic. I do not on any level agree with GMOs. In addition to those awesome stats...... (which took me forever to believe) EVERYTHING IS ONLY $3!!!! Please tell me where are yo...
