Hormel Gatherings Party Tray

*I received free product in exchange for my honest review*

I don't cook because I enjoy it.  I cook out of necessity.  So when it comes time to contribute to get together and pot lucks I tend to take the easy way out and buy premade things.

This thanksgiving was no different.   I picked up a Hormel Gatherings Party Tray to bring to my thanksgiving family gathering.  With pre cut cheese, meat and crackers (individually wrapped for freshness) it was so simple.



These would be so easy to use for any sort of big group gathering, like tailgating, new years eve etc...
I didn't open the packages ahead of time just in case it dumped in the truck (although unlikely since the lid is pretty durable) but they were easy to open and set out once I got there.

I got distracted by the girls so I didn't get a picture until it was nearly gone, but the fact that it was nearly gone means it was good right?  Who doesn't love cheese and meat?  Apparently nobody likes olives though.



So lesson learned, next time get the olive free one.  I would totally get a Hormel Gatherings Party Tray again.  The convenience of my time is worth the extra cost.  Plus I know that my kids would be all over me if I tried to make my own tray.  And by keeping them sealed up individually I can say nope, sorry!  Haha.

I bought my tray at Meijer but to find a retailer near you check here.

Eleanor is 4 (a month ago...)

My big girl turned four a month ago and I should really get to her update.  Whoops!

I asked her a few questions to see her answers.  :)
What is your name? Eleanor Rose Urban.  My teacher knows that
How old are you? 4 still
What is your favorite color? Green. go green! and I love pink
Favorite animal: Flamingo
Favorite tv show : Paw control (that's what she calls Paw Patrol)
Movie: Sleeping Beauty
Book: The flamingo book
Friend: Sydney
Activity with mom: Go on the ferris wheel.  We've never been on one.  But I know about ferris wheels because I saw one before. 
Favorite activity with dad: listen to the handclap song
Any other thoughts:  I liked my cake from my birthday and the ice popsicle and thank you.  

She's about 34lbs and 40 inches tall.

Still doesn't consistently sleep through the night, like she wakes up every single night and comes to my room.  She either climbs into the pack n play if it's set up, or the floor bed (a pile of blankets on the floor).

She loves to eat vinegar noodles (plain noodles with butter and red wine vinegar), cheese sticks, popcorn and fruit snacks

She loves watching movies, painting and the swing.

She is stubborn, hilarious (facebook friends can attest to this one), sassy, kind, helpful, and I'm so blessed to have her in my life.

Happy (late) 4th birthday Eleanor!!

Get more free gift cards during November Swago with Spin & Win



The digital rewards site Swagbucks is celebrating Thanksgiving early with another big "Swago" promotion starting Monday, November 6th at 9am PT and running until Monday, November 13th! Swago is just like bingo, but in this case you're filling out squares as you earn points on their site for doing things you already do online. If you're thinking of trying Swagbucks, this is a great chance to learn all about how the site works and earn bonus points while doing it, meaning you can get more gift cards faster. Here are a few tips: 

  • Each square on your Swago Board will contain an action item to complete. They can be anything from getting a search win, completing a survey, or just visiting one of our popular stores!
     
  • Once you complete the action item in a particular square the square will change color signifying the action item is complete.
     
  • You have until 12pm PT/3pm ET on Monday, November 13th to mark off as many squares as possible so use your time wisely.
     
  • Be mindful of the patterns and their corresponding bonuses located on the right of your Swago Board. The patterns will vary in difficulty and bonus value. Once you’ve achieved a pattern, the corresponding “Submit” button will light up. You can have multiple patterns available for submission, however, you can only submit ONE pattern so choose wisely.
  • Each activity you successfully complete on your Swago Board will give you anywhere from 1-20 spins on the Spin & Win Wheel. PLUS, when you submit your board for a bonus you'll get additional spins. The number of spins will depend on the pattern you complete. The wheel has all sorts of great prizes that you can win, and each spin is a winner!

The Spin & Win Wheel will be available all throughout Swago and you have until 11:59pm PT on Monday, November 16th to use all your spins. 

Fill up your board and then submit your pattern to get even more points - if you can fill in the whole board, you get a 500 SB bonus, which is enough for a $5 gift card from the retailer of your choice.  

Click here right now and click "Join" to get started! If you don't already have a Swagbucks account, you'll be able to quickly sign up; PLUS, if you earn 300 SB before the first of next month, you'll get a bonus 300 SB!
