Kroger's The Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies = YUM!

BzzAgent recently gave me the opportunity to try Kroger's new Truly Awesome Homestyle Chocolate Chip Cookies.  Needless to say, I was super excited because I have a horrible sweet tooth.  I HAVE to have something sweet every day or I feel as though my day in incomplete.  The cookies happened to arrive when we were getting ready to go out of town so I tossed the cookies in the bags with all the other snacks.

Jonathan and I were the first to try the new cookies and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised!  I have tried lots of store brand items and I am usually not too happy with the taste.  Store brand items just do not taste the same to me so I am always hesitant to buy them.  After trying these cookies, I have to say that I would be totally okay with buying these cookies on a regular basis.

These cookies were so buttery and you could not take a bite without get some chocolate chips.  Jonathan and I had a hard time stopping once we started eating them.  As a matter of fact, I am pretty sure that we finished the first box in one sitting and that's a little sad because these cookies were huge!  I have to admit that I was put off at first because I love chewy cookies and with the first bite I could tell that these were not chewy.  However, they tasted so good that I completely lost the thoughts about the texture!  I would definitely recommend trying these cookies the next time you are shopping at Kroger (or any of their chain of stores) because you will not be disappointed!!

Thanks BzzAgent for giving me the opportunity to try these cookies!!

Thanks Crowdtap and Old Navy!!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE Old Navy!  I would buy all my clothes there if I had disposable income.  They have great quality clothes and awesome sales!  So, when Crowdtap offered the chance to try a new piece of outerwear, I was over the moon!  I met my friend Katie at Old Navy in Murfreesboro and off we were to find some awesome Old Navy jackets.

As always, Old Navy had all types of different jackets/coats.  They have the "bubble" jacket, the lightweight jackets and the wool blend jackets (as well as many others).  I already have a "bubble" jacket so I passed on those.  I really wanted something that I could wear with dress up clothes as well as casual wear.  Katie seemed to know exactly what she wanted.  She picked out his one almost immediately...http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=73774&vid=1&pid=839574&scid=839574042  I am way to indecisive for that!  I tried on probably 4 different wool blend jackets before Katie convinced me that this one looked the best...http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=73781&vid=1&pid=864329&scid=864329012  I really like that this jacket has a hood!  Most of my jackets do not, especially the more dressy ones.  This jacket is also a little more lightweight than my other jackets but it's still very warm.

I was able to break out my new jacket on Saturday to wear to my sons soccer game.  I was actually pretty comfortable in this jacket.  It's not at itchy as your normal wool blend jackets but it looks great!  I am once again thoroughly pleased with Old Navy!  Thanks so much Old Navy and Crowdtap for giving me this opportunity!
