The Yummy Nutella Dream Cookies
I found this recipe and I knew I HAD to share it with yall! I did a review of Nutella not to long ago and these cookies are sure to bring a smile to my little girl's faces! If you didn't read my review then you can read it here - Why my family is crazy for Nutella! I haven't gotten the chance to make these cookies yet but when i do I may leave out the nuts but I'm sure they will be delicious with or without the hazelnuts.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plus one tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped hazlenuts
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Directions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixture until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs. Add cocoa powder and beat until fully incorporated.
- Mix in flour mixture until well combined. Stir in hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
- Take two tablespoons of dough and form into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Press a large indent into center of ball and fill with about 1/2 tablespoon of Nutella. Crimp dough on top to seal in Nutella then roll dough gently in your hands to recreate the ball shape. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Cover cookies and chill in refrigerator for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cookies until beginning to look dry and cracked on top (Nutella will be viscous in the center), 15 minutes.

A Wonderful Faerie Book for Young Girls - A Fairy Ballet
"A Fairy Ballet"
by Daisy Meadows
by Daisy Meadows
If you have or know a little girl who loves faeries, then the book 'A Fairy Ballet' will for sure put a smile on her face.
The story is about a group of faerie sisters that get invited to a special party by The Fairy God-Mother. All the guests that attend the party are requested to bring a gift for the royals.... A performance for the King and Queen. Each performance has to be a "Gift straight from the Heart"
The 7 best-friends are very excited to be invited to the party but they have trouble figuring out what they want to preform. After lots of thinking, they decide to have a ballet where each faerie comes up with a dance with pin-points on their talent and what they love. Then they come together at the end to compete the ballet with a group dance.
One of the faeries gets nervous and continues to mess up during practice, She's afraid that she will mess up in-front of the King and Queen. Her sisters comfort her by reminding her that if she dances from her heart that she won't notice all the people and won't be nervous anymore.
In the end, the ballet is a hit and everyone claps and cheers.
Thru My Eyes ~ The moral of the story is that it doesn't matter how much something cost or how big or small it is......
If it comes from the heart... It's Something Special!
I bought the book, 'A Fairy Ballet' from a Scholastic Book Order from my daughters' school and I couldn't of made a better choice!
My daughters love faeries and this book is one of their favorites. I like how it helps them understand that nothing is perfect but as long as you have your family and friends...
You can do anything you put your heart into!
I recommend this book to any parent or grand-parent who is looking for a special story to read to that special little faerie lover in your life!

DaddyScrubs Bag O Books Giveaway
This Review/Giveaway is hosted by The Momma And Boys!
Every night at bedtime the boys get a bedtime story read to them. It is the perfect time for bonding & winding down from a crazy day. DaddyScrubs offers great products for fathers and their bonding time with the kids. My family and I had the opportunity to review the Bag O Books from DaddyScrubs.
My 3 boys loved sitting with Daddy before bed and hearing him read a story. It's great seeing all my boys sitting down and enjoying time together.
After story time with Daddy they were so excited that they had to make sure they gave him big hugs and then hurried off to bed to be tucked in!
DaddyScrubs is a great company. They have great daddy to be gifts or even new dad gifts! Daddy's don't get enough attention during pregnancy so this is a wonderful idea to help bring daddy's into the baby-shower fun!

The Little Green Pouch Giveaway
The Little Green Pouch is the coolest idea I've seen in a while!! I am always buying those little pouches full of fruit at the store and they vary in price fro $1 a piece to almost $2 a piece! My daughters LOVE them though and they make great lunch-box and after school snacks. But the money adds up when your buying 5 or 6 of those pouches at a time.
With the Little Green Pouch you can wash and reuse the pouch over and over again and add anything you like!
The giveaway is for (1) 4 pack of Little Green Pouch
OPEN TO US AND CANADA
Read below to learn more!
This review/giveaway is hosted by The Momma And Boys!
Little Green Pouch was made to make mom's lives easier. Your able to feed your children on the go without a big mess. One of the great things about Little Green Pouch is that they're reusable and dishwasher safe!!
As you see, on the back of the pouches they have very simple directions on how to fill them up, which makes it extremely easy to use.
When trying to open them I found that they were real simple to open without any problems. I was able to open Little Green Pouch with one hand and hold on to it while filling the pouch with the smoothie I made for my son.
Another great thing is that if you need to... you can freeze them.
As you see Momma's Boy #3 loved the Little Green Pouch and drank his smoothie. We didn't have any issues will spilling either. It's a nice thing to bring on the go also. There's a lid that places over it so while it's not in use you can make sure it doesn't spill out. When you are all done using your Little Green Pouch you can put it on the top rack of your dishwasher!
It's dish washer safe!!
