*Sponsor Spotlight* Buffalo Jackson Trading Co.

Today, I want to introduce you to a great company called Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. In 2009, Xan Hood started Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. (formerly Buffalo & Company) on the belief that at least one way honor can be restored to men is by providing a clothing line that conjures up the rich images of our past, images full of tradition and camaraderie and character that is true to our heritage and America. I fully support American owned and operated companies 100%. 

For our review we received a pretty cool wallet from Buffalo Jackson Trading Co called The Rebel - Dark Walnut.  

I'd say my husband is a pretty simple guy. When I first met him he didn't actually carry a wallet he had a money clip because the only thing he ever carried with him was his ID and cash. Then after we had kids, started opening bank accounts etc the money clip would no longer hold the necessities he needed to carry with him such as his insurance card, debit card, and credit card, and occasionally some cash. So he started carrying a wallet and the wallet he had was way to much it was a tri-fold wallet, up until the time we received   the Rebel wallet to review he was still using a tri-fold wallet. 

When we first received the wallet we didn't even have to open the package to smell the leather you could smell it all the way through the envelope it was shipped in. I love the smell of leather. This wallet is clean and simple, no velcro, no plastic snaps, no lining - nothing but pure leather. 

 This wallet features and ID slot, 3 slots on the opposite side for necessary cards, and a top slot to hold cash. I love the quality and craftsmanship of this wallet. It is extremely well made. I was kind of skeptical to begin with because the wallet was so stiff but my husband has been using the wallet ever since we received it about 3 or 4 weeks ago and he has got it broken in nicely. 

Overall, my husband is extremely satisfied with The Rebel wallet from Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. Like I mentioned before the quality is excellent and I think it will last for years to come. 

The Rebel wallet retails for $34.95 and is available online in their store. 

Would you like to win the same Rebel wallet from Buffalo Jackson Trading Co? If, so make sure you check back starting June 2nd, I will be giving away one to a lucky winner! Yay!

*Sponsor Spotlight* Cattleboyz Grilling Starter Kit Review

My husband LOVES to grill. Typically when I don't feel like cooking anything all I have to say is "well I guess I can grill the chicken" and he will do it because he knows I am not the greatest at it. When my husband does grill he likes to try different sauces and seasonings to change things up a bit. 

Here is a little bit about CattleBoyZ before I begin my review. 

CattleBoyZ Original BBQ Sauce was developed by a cattle rancher in Alberta, Canada who did not want to mask the taste of his beef with an overpowering sauce, but enhance it. CattleBoyZ Original started out on the ranch, but today it’s sold throughout North America. CattleBoyZ Foods has brought this Albertan’s savory sauce to the marketplace along with a second flavour – Cattle Boyz Honey Hot BBQ Sauce. 

CattleBoyZ BBQ sauces use only the finest all-natural ingredients to create a sweet, tangy barbecue sauce with a spicy kick. All of their sauces and seasonings are Gluten Free. Their 25 time International award winning barbecue sauces are perfect as a marinade, BBQ rub, or barbecue glaze for steaks, beef, pork, ribs, chicken and seafood. CattleBoyZ tastes great on vegetables too and our BBQ sauces do not contain additives.Satisfied customers say it best: the magical mix of flavor, texture, heat, and versatility will keep you coming back for more of the Best BBQ sauce in the World – CattleBoyZ.(from cattleboyz.com)

We received an awesome starter kit from CattleBoyZ to review. The starter kit includes 2 x 500 ml Collector Glass Bottles of BBQ Sauce (Original and Sweet Chili) AND 4 x bottles of Seasoning (Gourmet, Smokey Southwest, Big Country Garlic and Smokin' & Grillin Rub)

I really love the glass bottles that the BBQ sauce is in. Really nifty, but sort of hard to open, at least for me. These are great to use over and over again. 

The first thing we use once our package arrived was the gourmet seasoning. I thawed some country style ribs for dinner that night, and my husband grilled them. The seasoning gave them a nice flavor and they were very good. I also used the Original BBQ sauce that night and dipped my ribs in it and the sauce was outstanding!

The garlic blend is also very good I actually seasoned some potatoes with it in a skillet with a touch of olive oil and those came out yummy. I am not much for spicy foods but I have to say the Chili BBQ sauce is quite good, I'm not going to lie it is very hot though at least to me. 

CattleboyZ is great on hamburgers as well, we sprinkled some of the Smokey Southwest on our burgers just before grilling and it gave the burgers a good flavor. 

As I mentioned before CattleboyZ is Gluten Free and has no additives and can be used on a wide variety of foods including vegetables, beef, pork, chicken, fish, dips & sauces. 

Overall my husband and I are pleased with CattleBoyZ, the seasoning are wonderful and the sauces are outstanding as well. My favorite product out of the whole package has to be the original BBQ sauce. 

CattleboyZ is available online in their store, The starter set gift package retails for $39.99. 

But guess what? Thanks to CattleBoyZ, I will be giving TWO, yes TWO lucky  readers the very same starter set I received. But you have to come back starting June 2nd for your chance to win in the Celebrating Dad Father's Day giveaway hop! Yay! Thanks CattleBoyZ!

*Sponsor Spotlight* Shoes For Crews Empire - Composite Toe Work Boots Review

My husband works for a TV satellite company so he installs satellite dishes for a living. Let me be the first to tell you it is very hard work. He has to be on his feet sometimes 15-16 hours a day, crawling under houses, standing on ladders for sometimes hours at a time, roofs, you name it he does it.  Being that he has to stand, crawl, dig ditches, etc it is essential he has very good work boots. The company he works for has standards for their technicians and their boots must meet a certain criteria.

I was contacted by Shoes For Crews to do a review. I was extremely excited because my husband just commented a couple weeks ago it was almost time AGAIN to buy a new pair of boots because his old ones were starting to wear out. Boots don't typically last long for him-6 months at the most. I let my husband choose the pair he wanted to review since he knows what type he has to have and what he likes. Ultimately he chose the Empire - Composite Toe Work Boot in Black.

Shoes For Crews slip-resistant footwear has been tested and proven to be your best defense against slips and falls for over 25 years. Shoes For Crews began producing slip-resistant footwear in 1984 and through superior technology quickly became the industry leader.

There were several factors on why he chose this boot. First of all the heel, company polices state the heel of his work boots must be reinforced and raised. 

The second reason why he chose this boot was because of the SFC V-GRIP Slip-Resistant Out sole. Here is a little info about their special soles in case you're wondering: 

Shoes For Crews has revolutionized workplace safety by designing the most advanced and durable slip-resistant outsoles on the market. Their SFC V-GRIP™ outsole is specially engineered with enhanced durability, traction and slip resistance – even in colder weather!

Their specially designed outsole tread pattern reduces build-up and channels liquids away from the bottom of the sole to provide more sole-to-floor contact and prevent hydroplaning – also known as slipping and sliding on those dangerous wet and greasy surfaces. Not all slip-resistant shoes are created equal. SFC V-GRIP™ is the result of our ongoing dedication to the prevention of on-the-job accidents. This exclusive technology helps keep you safely on your feet even in the toughest conditions. You can’t find more advanced protection! (from shoesforcrews.com)

 Being a TV tech he works in all types of weather. Rain, sleet, snow (not that we get much if any here in SC) etc, but you get the idea so the last thing he needs is to be up on a ladder and slip because of his work boots. It is also company policy that his boots have a slip resistant sole. Actually, I have to mention we were boot shopping a few months ago and you wouldn't believe some of these boots that DON'T have slip resistant soles-crazy. 

Another reason why he chose this boot is because of the Composite toe, while this is not company standards for him to have a steel or composite toe boot, he likes to wear these types just in case he were to drop a heavy tool or a brick on his foot. The polycarbonate composite toe meets ASTM F-2413-05 standards bearing a class 75 rating. 

This boot is also EH rated meaning it is designed to provide a secondary source of protection from line circuits, wires or highly-charged electrical equipment. EH Rated footwear meet ASTM standards by providing Electrical Shock Resistance protection for the entire work boot. The insulating properties are measure under dry conditions and may deteriorate with wear, and in wet environments. My husband rarely ever gets in contact with highly charged electrical equipment, but he never knows when he goes out to a job site what the job is going to look like. 

My husband has been wearing these boots to work every day for about a week now, he is extremely satisfied with the quality of the  Empire boots by Shoes For Crews. He is also satisfied with how comfortable they are. The Empire boots we received to review retail for $89.99.

 Would you like to win ANY pair of Shoes For Crews? If, so make sure you check back starting June 2nd, I will be giving away a gift code to Shoes For Crews! Yay!

*Sponsor Spotlight* SKIL iXO 4V Max Palm-Sized Screwdriver Review

My husband is a DIY'er he likes to fix things and he likes to make excuses to buy any kind of new tools. I guess it's a man thing. For Father's Day & Christmas every year I try to give him some new tools and tool "gadgets" to make his DIY'ing a little easier. It's nice to have someone I can call on when something is broken or not working so I have to make sure he has the appropriate tools to get the job done :)

For my our review today, I was sent a SKIL iXO 4V Max Palm-Sized Screwdriver w/Attachment.

This handy dandy screwdriver is pretty nifty! Before I begin my review here is a little about the Screwdriver from Skil.com

The 2354-01 iXO is the latest in the SKIL generation of palm-sized screwdrivers. Compact, lightweight, and more powerful than it's predecessors, its the one tool no household should be without!

• 4V Max power with 20% longer run time
• Compact, Powerful and Lightweight
• SiteLight™ LED Work Light for better visibility
• Forward/Reverse LED Indicator shows drilling direction
• Lithium-Ion Power Battery holds charge up to 18 months

This little screwdriver is pretty darn nifty for small project and small things that need to be fixed. I love the forward/reverse LED Indicator on the screwdriver. I am one to use the drill and not have it going in the right direction so this little feature is perfect for me. 

Since it is palm size it make it super easy to get to those hard to reach places. The battery is suppose to last up to 18 months. Which is amazing. We've only had it a couple of weeks so I can't tell you if it lasts that long but so far we haven't had to charge it. 

Included with the screwdriver is a charger as you can see in the background of the photo above and a 5 piece bit set. (see below)

The screwdriver also features an LED sight light that lights up your work space, so if you're trying to fix something in the dark or somewhere that doesn't have good lighting the LED sight light is awesome!

Overall we are extremely pleased with the SKIL iXO 4V Max Palm-Sized Screwdriver. It's a great little tool to have around the house. It's easy to use and stores great in my husband's toolbox. You can purchase the SKIL iXO 4V Max Palm-Sized Screwdriver on Amazon and Lowes for approximately $29.99. 

But guess what? SKIL is giving one lucky My Little Space 4 Everything reader their own SKIL iXO 4V Max Palm-Sized Screwdriver. Yep, that's right come back here starting June 2nd and you can win your own  in the Super Dad Father's Day Giveaway Hop! Yay! Thank you SKIL!

Farm Rich Snacks Review & Giveaway

I've been a Farm Rich fan for years. I've always loved their cheese sticks and whenever I want cheese sticks Farm Rich is the brand I go to first. I've tried several store brands but nothing tastes as good as Farm Rich.

I was so happy when I was contacted by Farm Rich to do a review and offer my readers a coupon giveaway. I gladly accepted :)

For over 25 years, they have been making Farm Rich products with one goal in mind: keep 'em happy. Whether it's the wholesome ingredients in our products you can feel good about serving your family, or the wide variety of our offerings that appeals to everyone, Farm Rich knows how to keep your family smiling. Farm Rich is based out of Saint Simmons Island, Georgia.

For my review I was sent 2 coupons to choose any Farm Rich product. My local Bi-Lo only carries like 4 varieties of their product so I was limited on choice. Out of 16 varieties I wish they had more but they didn't.  I chose Cheese Sticks of course :) and the Queso Cheese Bites to try.

I, of course have nothing but positive things to say about the Cheese Sticks, they are just as good as any cheese stick you would get at a restaurant, the flavor is amazing and my kids devour these every time I cook them. 

The Queso Cheese Bites, are pretty good as well. I probably should have read the package because I didn't really think they were going to be spicy. But they are. I like them but not as good as I do the cheese sticks. I probably wouldn't buy them again just because of the heat but if you like spicy foods then you'll love the Queso Cheese Bites. 

I have tried Farm Rich's Battered Mushrooms and they are absolutely delicious as well. I look forward to trying some more of their products, like I said I wish my local Bi-Lo carried more varieties. 

Farm Rich products make perfect appetizers & after school snacks. 

Guess what? Thanks to Farm Rich, ONE lucky winner is going to receive 2 coupons good for ONE free Farm Rich snacks and appetizers ($6.99 value each) Thanks Farm Rich! 

Entering is easy on the Rafflecopter form below! Good luck!

Upcoming events, giveaways, and news! #TGIF

Happy Friday!!

So you may or may not have noticed I haven't been blogging much lately, not as many reviews and giveaways as there was a few weeks ago. That's because several a lot of things are going on. My husband has been down in his back for the past 2 weeks so we have been back and forth to the doctors etc, things are getting better with that thank goodness. My oldest son is finally getting over his strep throat he had last week. Summer is quickly approaching and my oldest son is going to be out of school in less than 2 weeks. Wow, hard to believe, this year has litterly flown by. He has already asked if he can go spend some time at his granny and papa's house over the summer :) My kid's birthdays are coming up in June and July. Since my oldest son is in school now he has gained a lot of new friends which is awesome, but he wants to have a big birthday party this year so he can invite all his new friends. So we're still trying to figure out what we want to do as far as that is concerned.

Also a reminder please check your spam messages I had 2 winners that didn't reply and unfortunately I had to re-draw. I'd hate for anyone to lose out on a prize. Sometimes emails go to spam for unknown reasons. I get important emails in my spam messages all the time and it drives me nuts.  

I have some great giveaways coming up the next few weeks. Including several geared towards dads since Father's Day is quickly approaching. I am going to be participating in some great blog hops and I will also be starting our Birthday Bash extravaganza which will include lots of toddler and children's gift ideas to celebrate my kid's birthdays coming up in June and July. So be on the lookout for those, you won't want to miss anything trust me! I am also still looking for some more sponsors for Summer Blog hop events and the Birthday Bash extravaganza, if you know of anyone or would like to sponsor shoot me an email mylittlespace4everything at mail dot com          :)

This summer is going to be pretty cool around here so stick around!!!

With that being said I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Peggie Chemise and Robe Set Plus Size Lingerie Boutique Review

Plus Size Lingerie Boutique has sexy and fashionable lingerie for plus size women. Thanks to Plus Size Lingerie Boutique there is no reason why plus size women can't find cute lingerie, bras, panties, and other accessories. Sometimes I feel like when I walk into "the lingerie store" in the mall that I get stared at by employees because I am plus size and all they sell is small, medium, and "large" sizes. And their large sizes aren't even that large they fit like a size 8. That's why I don't even bother any more taking the time to go in and look at their stuff.

For my review I was sent the Peggie Chemise and Robe Set. I chose this item because I needed a new robe and "gown".

Description from Plus Size Lingerie Boutique: A polka isn't necessarily the a sexy dance but this Peggie Chemise and Robe with its polka dot pattern will make you want to do the love dance all night long. It features a black satin chemise with pink polka dots. It feature a low scoop back with criss-cross adjustable straps. The matching robe has pink satin trim and a pink satin tie belt. Made of a satiny blend of 97% polyester and 3% spandex for lots a shine and a little bit of give. This is a perfect set for everyday sexy lingerie. 

I really like this set. It's sexy but comfortable. I personally don't like to wear lingerie, I am the type to wear t-shirts and jammie pants to sleep in but after wearing this a couple of times it was quite comfy. The criss-cross back was kind of confusing to figure out the first time I put it on but after I figured it out it was actually pretty simple to adjust it. I love the feel of satin its soft and cool which is great for the summer time. 

Overall I am extremely satisfied with the chemise and robe set I received from Plus Size Lingerie Boutique. 

The Peggie Chemise and Robe set retails for $29.95.

Honey Bunches of Oats Review #HBOats

My family and I have been huge Honey Bunches of Oats fans for years. It was one of my favorite cereals when I was pregnant with my kids, I would eat it just about every single morning. My kids even love it, especially my youngest son. He doesn't like to eat any of his cereal with milk but he loves it dry so he will eat is as a snack and for breakfast. Honey Bunches of Oats - Honey Roasted now has more granola bunches and I can really tell it. The granola part is my favorite and I love that there is more in the box! 

Honey Bunches of Oats now has new fruit blends as well. We haven't tried them yet but we can't wait to! 

Honey Bunches of Oats is not only good but offers some great benefits to your health. It offers 10 grams of whole grain per serving, and nutritionist recommend eating 3 or more servings of whole grain per day. There is only 6 grams of sugar. It provides 9 essential vitamins and minerals, and it's heart healthy! 

Overall I am truly satisfied AND happy that Honey Bunches, Honey Roasted offers more granola.

SodaStream Home Soda Maker Review!

Oh my gosh you guys I am so excited for this review! My husband is even more excited because he loves soda. I, on the other hand can take it or leave it. Have you ever heard of SodaStream? No? Well, no worries we are going to fill you in today! SodaStream is so unbelievably cool and I truly believe this is the next best thing to the coffee maker, every home should have one! Here is a little description of SodaStream from their website:

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you'll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor.

We received a super cool (and heavy) package from SodaStream about a week ago and ever since we have been making our own soda at home! Yes, you heard read that right, we are making our own soda at home!

This is what we got: The SodaStream Fountain Jet and the flavors we got were: Root Beer, Cola, Orange, Ginger Ale, Cranberry Raspberry, Black Currant and Pear, Cola Free, Diet Pink Grapefruit, Diet Lemon Lime. MyWater Flavor Essence Variety 3 pack! Whew what a lot huh?

Whenever we get a new gadget like this as soon as the package man drops it off my husband goes straight for it, so I apologize if the photos are a little crummy. 

So first things first when you open the SodaStream Fountain Jet you want to make sure you read the directions. My husband failed to do this and in the long run he made a huge mess with the water. 

The CO2 cylinder, it easily attaches to the back of the SodaStream. 

Getting the SodaStream set up is extremely easy and there are four steps to making your own soda at home! Attaching the CO2 cylinder to the back of the fountain is the first step. You will want to rinse your carbonating bottle before you first use it, so do that. Then fill it up with VERY cold water, Screw the bottle into the machine.

Now this is where the part on reading the directions before you begin comes in. My husband did NOT screw the bottle into the machine, he just placed it in the fountain. So be sure to screw the bottle in otherwise you will have a mess.

See? Bottle is not screwed in :)

Once you get the bottle screwed in you will pull the lever on top of the SodaStream until you hear a loud buzz. 3 buzzes will get you average carbonation. The thing that my husband likes about the SodaStream is the fact that you can adjust the carbonation to your liking. 

When you are finished carbonating your water pull the bottle toward you and unscrew from the maker. And bam you have carbonated water! Next, as lastly you will add the soda mix to your water! We chose orange to try out first.

We have tried 3 out of the 9 flavors we were sent. Like I mentioned we tried the orange first. Orange soda is really the only kind of carbonated soda I will drink, but I have to say I am quite impressed with the taste. It really does taste like brand name orange soda. My husband has tried the Cola and Ginger Ale flavors and he loves them both! While we are going to try out all of the flavors the reason why we didn't try them all is because the soda mix has to be refrigerated after opening.

I really like the ability to be able to control how much soda mix you put into the water. For sweeter drinks add a little more or for less sweeter drinks add less. I tend to find that store bought sodas are way to sweet for me so being able to adjust it to my liking is a huge plus.

SodaStream has a wide variety of over 50 sodamix syrups including dozens of regular, diet and caffeine-free options. Flavors include classics like cola, lemon-lime, and root beer. SodaMix flavors are all available in economy sized bottles. Each bottle makes 12 liters (about 33 cans) of soda! The SodaMix range in price from $4.99-$9.99.

Another thing you have to think about when you have the SodaStream is purchasing the CO2 for it. Carbonators are available in two sizes, to make up to 60 or 130 liters of soda or sparkling water per carbonator. When empty, SodaStream takes back the cylinder to be cleaned, inspected, refilled and reused. Carbonators may be exchanged online, or at select SodaStream authorized retailers. There are a lot of choices when it comes to exchanging and ordering spare carbonators for your SodaStream.

As if I couldn't give you enough reasons to purchase a SodaStream for yourself here are some more:

• Quick, convenient and easy to use
• Fresh, delicious soda in seconds
• No more lugging heavy, bulky bottles and cans from the store
• No more worries about running out of your favorite soft drinks
• Over 25 great-tasting flavors, including regular, diet and caffeine-free options
• Regular flavors have much less sugar, carbs and sodium than store-bought brands
• Diet flavors are sweetened with Splenda® and contain no aspartame
• Reusable BPA-free bottles and concentrated sodamix cut down on recyclables and disposables, making an environmentally-friendly alternative to store-bought drinks
• No batteries, electricity or plumbing
• Money-back guarantee and two-year warranty

Overall my husband and I are extremely satisfied with our new SodaStream maker. I think in the long run it will save us money and I really like the fact that it is Eco-friendly since we're not throwing away plastic 2 liter bottles and cola cans anymore.

SodaStream products are available at a wide variety of retailers across the world including Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, Amazon, & Target. For a more detailed list check out their store locator.

You can connect with SodaStream on facebook, twitter, and Youtube!
