#HormelFamily June box #spon Pulled Pork Sammies


     Once again I am a #HormelFamily blogger and I have the opportunity to sample their products to give my honest and unbiased opinion. Most not all are provided in conjunction with this blog post.


     This month I received a variety of products but this post is centered on one dinner idea/solution  for a quick night dinner that the whole family could love. After all it is the season to BBQ and what could be easier than...well not BBQ'n up a mess :)

Lloyds Pulled Pork (BBQ sauce not included) was a big hit in this months box. It arrives in a resealable pouch with easy to follow instructions and all creativity is up to you with this. My family wanted pulled pork sammies and this is what we did:

INGREDIENTS
1 (16-ounce) container LLOYD'S®Seasoned Shredded Pork in Original BBQ Sauce
4 kaiser buns, split and toasted
4 (¾- to 1-ounce) slices American cheese
1 cup deli coleslaw
¼ cup sweet or dill pickle slices

DIRECTIONS
PREP: Prepare LLOYD'S® Seasoned Shredded Pork in Original BBQ Sauce according to package directions.

SERVE: Spoon meat mixture onto buns. Top with cheese. Place open sandwiches on foil-lined baking sheet under broiler just to melt cheese, about 1 minute. Top with coleslaw, pickles and bun top.




This was super easy to make and my kids and I enjoyed this very much. My kids are very open to flavors and textures so the cole slaw was perfect for us, everyone is different and feel free to leave it out.

**Beyond The Mask** Family Film


Coming to theaters this weekend, Beyond the Mask is a revolutionary new family film that brings history to life in a faith-filled adventure celebrating grace, liberty, and the true freedom that can only be found in Christ. We would like to offer you two theatrical posters signed by the stars of the film for use as a giveaway on your blog.

Both posters include the autographs of actors Andrew Cheney (SEASONS OF GRAY), Kara Killmer (Chicago Fire) and John Rhys-Davies (LORD OF THE RINGS, RETURN TO THE HIDING PLACE).

Synopsis
The leading mercenary for the British East India Company, Will Reynolds, has just been double-crossed and is on the run in the American colonies. Working to redeem his name and win back the woman with whom he's never been fully truthful, Will now hides behind a new mask in hopes of thwarting his former employer. As his past life closes in, Will must somehow gain the trust and the help of his beloved Charlotte—as well as Ben Franklin—while he races time to defuse a plot of historical proportions.

**Glider DLX Gliding Swing (Greenhill; Infant)** #sponsored



can be found at Toys R Us
  • Soothes with the same gentle motion of your nursery glider
  • Vibration with two speed settings keeps baby relaxed
  • Adjustable canopy with toys shields baby from light
  • 6 gliding speeds allows you to find the right pace
  • 10 melodies and 5 nature sounds will delight and amuse


     When becoming a new mom we look for anything that can provide the comfort and care our special bundle of joy needs. This Glider Swing by Graco offers the safe protective care a mother offers her child, a warm hug with gentle rocking motion to soothe the little one to sleep so you can get some much needed arm rest. After 4 children myself I can remember the tireless days and nights of rocking to soothe the cranky baby and knowing I am getting nothing done because no rocking means no peace.
I have to say I really like the seat belt, if applied correctly the baby is safe and secure. The shoulder harness is not specifically attached to the belt which makes it so much easier to adjust baby.



     The Glider swing offers you the option to plug in or use batteries, as we all know everything runs on batteries and that in itself can cost a fortune. I remember back before they were battery operated :o and we had to crank them to keep the swing rocking and at the time of my first born gliders were unheard of.


      The seating is so soft and cushion y to protect that little back and head and provide the same comfort mom or dads lap offers. The padding is removable and washing machine safe (IMO gentle detergent, no bleach and I line dry). The padding can be removed as the baby gets a little bigger as no so much support will be required. The seating does offer vibration to rock to sleep but as always be aware of your baby and the swing. Do not extra pad it as what comes with is plenty and has been tested and baby proofed. Once baby is asleep it is not necessary to remove baby from swing just turn it off to save electricity and batteries. AND always strap a baby in you do not want any unneeded accidents that could be prevented.


     The final thing I want to mention is the music I loved the wide variety of music and sounds, if you are not a good singer (like me) this is a godsend. Music can help calm as well as relax the senses for a baby after all they have been hearing all the sounds from outside for months before birth.
