#HoneyBakedEaster Ham, Turkey, and Sides Review #Sponsored #Giveaway #EasyLikeSundayMorning #EasterMeals @HoneyBakedHam

Disclaimer: I received product for free to facilitate a review/giveaway.  All opinions, and photos are my own. 

Hippity Hop, hop HoneyBaked Easter is on it's way!  Recently I received a Gift Card to put together a HoneyBaked Ham meal that my family would enjoy.  Which is really easy to do! HoneyBaked Ham isn't just Ham, there are other meats, and sides. There are always coupons to use that can be found directly on HoneyBakedForYou.com/ 

I wanted to just show up at the store this time with Gift Card in hand and choose items on a spur of the moment.  I wanted it to feel like a "OMG I didn't buy anything for Easter Brunch," feeling.  

There were different Hams in the Fridge for me to pick from ranging from Mini to Large with, or without bone in.  HoneyBaked Ham also carries Smoked, or Roasted Turkey Breast too.  I couldn't decide just one, so I picked one of each.  For sides there were cold salads and take home sides in the Freezers.  Along with Bacon too.

 Mini Ham with Bone; 3.77 lbs for $30.12

Smoked Turkey Breast, 3.14 lbs for $31.37

Broccoli Slaw, $1.99 x4

Macaroni Salad, $1.99 x4

Slice of Carrot Cake, $1.99 

Ordering was easy in store.   Everything we tasted was Amazing.  Both meats were moist, and juicy with a thin outer crust of glaze.  

The Broccoli slaw had crunchy florets, sweet raisins amongst other ingredients.  I loved the contrast between the greens, and sweetness. The macaroni salad had little chunks of Cheese.

I had a hiccup tho, she forgot to put my slice of Carrot Cake in the bag, and when I returned home I called.. still no phone call back from the Manager for the Newport News Virginia location.

The carrot cake looked so good, I bet it tasted as good as it looked too. My plan for the Carrot Cake was to cut it into squares and use it for bite size dessert.  I'll update this if the Manager calls me back.

The meal itself fed 8 adults, and 3 children.  Everyone loved the sweet glaze, and sides.  So if you are looking for an easy Easter Meal, but don't feel like cooking (or forgot to cook.) go to HoneyBaked Ham, or just call your local HoneyBaked Ham to see what their schedule is for Easter, and pre-order your meal to pick up, or just do like I did, walk in! Don't forget to print your coupons for HoneyBaked Ham from off their website. I justify meals like this by The time you get to spend with your family by not being in the kitchen cooking, and the energy saved by not using my oven.  It really is a win-win situation.  

Also, don't forget to check out my other HoneyBaked Ham Review for the Ultimate Sandwich (I went in a day before, and ordered this for next day Cater at the Sawmill Rd, Columbus, Ohio Location.)

If you're looking for an Easter Brunch check out the Ultimate Sandwich, Dessert Tray, and Meat Platter.  I enjoyed the catering way better, because everything came with trays already, and tongs. Some items can only be catered, but if it's on a spur of the moment,  in store does have a selection of foods. 

If it's just a sandwich you want, HoneyBaked Ham does that too!

Few quick tips to help make your home a little more Energy Efficient.

Disclosure: Many thanks to Direct Energy for sponsoring today's story and inspiring me to live a smarter and more eco-friendly lifestyle!

Here are a few ways my family likes to make our homes a little smarter.

We buy nothing but Energy Star electronics to use it really is worth the extra cash to save on electricity in the long run.  We also only use LED lights.  They last us a while, and once again cheaper, I have seen dollar stores sell Energy Efficient LED lights for 2 for $1.00 before, and they seriously last us years.  I also don't like lights being left on,  and I am a firm believer in unplugging electronics when not in use.  I'm a true believer every little thing helps.

I like to take quick  Need help thinking of ways to make your home smarter? We’ve got a mixture of energy efficiency and smart home ideas for you!

1. Install a smart thermostat. Smart thermostats offer you climate control, the convenience of programming away from home, and more.

2. Your living room typically has multiple active light sources available. Make sure your lighting is energy efficient by switching traditional bulbs to CFLs or LEDs.

3. Replace your old, inefficient appliances with new, efficient, Energy Star® appliances. Old appliances tend to run inefficiently.

4. Replace the showerhead in your bathroom(s) with low flow showerheads. These showerheads regulate the flow of water, assuring you a more efficient shower.

5. Change your air filter every 1-3 months. Clogged air filters increase your energy costs. Even though smart thermostats will send out reminders, YOU still have to do it.

6. Be sure your air return vents aren’t being blocked by furniture or carpets.

7. Insulate and seal your duct work. Make sure that all your heated and cooled air gets circulated in the right places.

8. Make sure you have a strong Wi-fi signal from your smart thermostat and smart devices. Because you can remotely control your smart thermostat via the internet, periodically check the signal strength in the network settings on the thermostat’s control screen.

9. Unplug energy sucking devices when they are not in use. Common energy wasters include your computer, printer, DVD player, phone charger and any electronics attached to a power strip. Unplug these electronics at night or when you are away from home.

10. Reduce waste at home by paying your bills online and reusing plastic shopping bags after you go to the grocery store to line trash cans instead of throwing them away.

11. Using dishwashers and washer/dryers at night will keep the house cooler, reduce strain on the power grid during the peak usage hours of 4 PM and 6 PM and reduce the chance of an emergency!

Think of an exotic blend of natural oils, and musk from Indonesia Morocco, Japan, Turkey, South Africa, Lebanon, France, and Australia. That is the Journey this scent takes you on.  Honestly I get into moods that I don't want to wear a light foo-foo scent.

My overall impression about Journey is, a little goes a long way.  It is a Musk, so a little is needed. It smells wonderful on my skin after a few squirts on the wrists, and neck.  I have been complimented on Journey while out Grocery shopping.

Notes: Indonesian Clove Bud, Australian Sandalwood, Moroccan Rose, French Bergamot, Indian Tuberose, Japanese Orange Flower, Lebanese Cedarwood, Turkish Cyclamen, South African Freesia

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no Pain, so hit me with music yeaaah, Brutalize me with Music." If you can tell me who sings that, you, my friend, are pretty awesome.

Music has always been a big part of my life.  Even while growing up, my parents both always had music playing in the car, in the house, and while outside for bbq's and swimming in the pool.  I seriously can't see life without music. 

Technology has came a long way since records, tapes, and cd's.  Sure you can still get electronics that can play that, while being Wifi, and Blue tooth compatible now.  That is what is so great about our generation.  It also depends on the Speakers you purchase too.  JBL has a new Indoor/Outdoor Speaker that can connect to any Wifi/Bluetooth compatible device (That means blu ray players, android devices, iphones, ipads. If you have any questions you can always ask Costumer Service at Best Buy.)

Just wanted to show you all how easy it is to Open, and pour an Emergen-C serving into a bottle of water. It can be done one handed, and while holding a 3 year old. It's also delicious, and full of so many nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins.

The flavor I'm currently digging is the 1,000 MG Vitamin C Raspberry Emergen-C.  It's also really good added to my juice in the morning, so I get kind've like a tropical fizz drink.
