My review of Silk Nutchello Caramel Almonds + Cashews from Crowdtap


I received a coupon from Crowdtap for a free bottle of Silk Nutchello. I was able to find this as Target for $3.99. There was three flavors to choose from and I chose Caramel Almonds + Cashews. All of the flavors looked really good so it was a tough choice just picking one. 




The first thing I did was to try this out by itself in a glass with ice. It was so delicious once I finished the glass I wanted to finish the entire bottle. I had to use it sparingly though as I knew I would have more things to do on Crowdtap that I might need to take more photos with it.



The second thing I tried was drinking this in something warm. I put milk in a mug and then added some Tazo tea concentrate and the Nutchello. I heated it up in the microwave and it was pretty yummy.



The last way I tried this which is also the way I have been having it each morning is in my coffee. I brew a pot of Shur Fine French Vanilla coffee. Then I add Great Value Grandulated No Calorie Sweetener, Nestle Coffee-mate Girl Scouts caramel & coconut powdered creamer, and instead of using milk I added the Silk Nutchello. It is the perfect thing to get my day started.

Geocache find #73 The Frog (with spoilers!)

This past week my kids and I were out eating at a restaurant in Elmira NY. When I go to a town I haven't been before I like to try to find a geocache nearby. All the ones around the Old Country Buffet plaza had been ruined by muggles and not replaced. 

We headed down the road a little ways to get groceries at Walmart. Before we left I checked the geocaching app again to see if there were any nearby. Usually most Walmarts have had them placed somewhere in their plaza. 



There wasn't one dedicated to being a Walmart find but in the same plaza is Sweet Frog and there was on dedicated to that. The cache was called The Frog. It was about 400 feet from where I was parked. My son and I went to look for it.

As we walked and got near each light pole and tree my son would tell me how many feet the cache was from that point. When we got to 22 feet we were in front of a light pole. I lifted up the base and sure enough there was the cache.


Since the cache was called The Frog I thought this little green container was a cute idea. Everything was in great shape which is just what I like to see. 



I signed the log and placed it back in the green container and inside the ziplock bag it was in and put it back exactly where we found it.  This brings us to a total of 73 geocaches found.
