Fla-Vor-Ice: A Classic, Favorite Summer Snack for the Family

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Jel Sert for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Fla-Vor-Ice, the summer snack you loved as a kid can still be enjoyed by you and your family.  Fla-Vor-ice is a trusted brand that's been delivering refreshment and great taste for over forty years, and you can happily serve it, knowing it is a  "mom-approved" snack.

So what makes Fla-Vor-Ice such a good snack to serve to your family?  For one thing, it tastes delicious. (My favorite flavor has always been green lime.)  And apart from the Original Fruit Flavors you loved as a kid, they have Tropical Flavors and a Sugar-Free variety.

It's also perfectly refreshing on hot days and a great snack to help you and your family beat the heat.

Fla-Vor-Ice is great snack for health conscience families because it is made with real fruit juice, is low in sugar, gluten free, and contains no major allergens. (This also makes it a safe choice to serve to your kid's friends.)

It is also a great value at only 10 cents a serving.  And because you can conveniently serve it straight out of the freezer it is great to serve for your kid's sports team, or for sleepovers, play dates, pool parties, picnics, and backyard barbeques.

And because it is a light snack and not at all filling you can serve one or two Fla-Vor-Ice at any time of day without spoiling your child's appetite. 

Go pick up some Fla-Vor-Ice for your family and beat the summer heat! Also, show your love for Fla-Vorice by liking Fla-Vor-Ice on Facebook.

I am very excited to welcome a new sponsor to Simply Sweet Home! Novel Creations is a new chapter in purses!  Karen of Argyle, Texas has taken some of the best loved books out their (classics and current favorites) and repurposed them in to cute and fashionable purses and clutches.

Eyewear for the Family at Coastal.com

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Coastal.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Eyecare is important to every family.  Even though summer has just gotten here, I'm sure you are already thinking things that will have to be for back to school, especially the shopping for school supplies, clothes, and eyewear. Coastal.com makes it easy for you to supply your family with the eyeglasses and contact lenses.

Their website offers easy ordering and fast shipping options.  They also offer free shipping and free returns if you are no fully satisfied.  The free return policy is a big seller for me! In the past I have been unsure about buying online, afraid that  I would choose a frame online but not like it when I actually received it. At Coastal.com you can avoid this!

You can also save big! Because they are an online retailer, they are able to offer a much greater savings than retail stores you usually go to. In fact, you can save as much as 70%.  And they offer great, quality name brands that you know and love like Vera Wang, Christian Dior, Gucci, Esprit, Calvin Klein, and more!

I like a very simple, thin, rectangular frame for myself.  One of my personal favorite pairs from their site is this selection from DKNY:

 


 


And I also like this pair from Calvin Klein:

 

And I also like this pair from Armani:

 


 

 

 

Coastal.com has reached 1 million followers on Facebook (the company in second place only has 260K fans) and would like to thank you for your support:

Go check out Coastal.com's fine selections and follow them on Facebook for great deals and updates!

Barnsley

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Home Depot.

This week I am wrapping up my post series on creating a stylized outdoor space.  I have to be honest, before starting this series,I had always primarily focused on the patterns and colors of cushions and throw pillows when it came to furniture, but as I’ve looked over all the products available in store at The Home Depot and seen the ideas and tips they have  on their The Garden Club site, I’ve really gotten inspired and learned that there is so much more to outdoor living design.
