If you’re visiting from Beauty and Bedlam or Blessed with Grace then welcome! Here is a GREAT recipe for Orange Cranberry Muffins. I was out of eggs yesterday so I substituted with cornstarch and they came out wonderful! So here is my eggless recipe-perfect if anyone in your family has an egg allergy!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 TBS. Cornstarch
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup Orange Juice
1 cup dried cranberries
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Add the milk, oil and orange juice.
Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries.
Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees
for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing
from pan to a wire rack.

As a native Floridian, I know orange juice! I grew up drinking Tropicana Orange Juice. My mother wouldn’t buy any other brand. She claimed it tasted the best and was the healthiest. I have carried that belief on with my family. Oh I’ve tried other brands, but they taste more watered down and/or sour. When I go out to eat for breakfast or brunch and the waitress asks if I’d like juice or coffee, I always ask her if it’s Tropicana juice! My kids love it too. It really gets us through cold and flu season. I feel great knowing they are getting their Vitamin C and Folic Acid. When I was pregnant I made sure I drank plenty of Orange Juice for the extra Folic Acid! When you are sick, what is the first beverage you think of….Orange Juice!
Well I have exciting news to announce…..not only does my favorite brand win every taste test (in my household) they are now offering a NEW Juicy Rewards Program! This falls right into my budget-conscious lifestyle! Every time you buy Tropicana Orange Juice, you will find a reward code under the cap. Plug this number in on their website and start earning points! Here’s how easy it is….
1. Go to http://juicyrewards.tropicana.com
2. Register
3. And start entering the codes from under the cap!
I have a total of 10 points right now! I gained 1 point by answering a 4 question survey. And a total of 9 points for entering the codes on 2 caps that I have!
So what’s in my fridge?

Once you have points you can start shopping. Yes I said the “S” word! You can redeem those points for Adidas sporting goods, Coleman Outdoor Gear, discounts of park admission to Kennedy Space Center, Norwegian Cruise Line discounts…..and discounted home services like house cleaning and lawn care! Someone to come clean my house? I’m there! Tropicana wants families to spend more time together and are helping you achieve that! I’ll keep everyone posted on how many points I’m collecting and what I’m redeeming them for….
Let me ask you - are you guys collecting points? Have you redeemed them for anything interesting yet? I want to hear from you! Please leave a link back to your website as I always comment back
If your visiting from SITSgirls Hello!







Consignment Sales in Tampa
Mar 8
Posted by Stephanie in Commentary | No Comments
Anyone who knows me knows I love a good bargain. And kid’s consignment sales are the way to snag one! I’ve purchased $120 strollers for $45, bathing suits for $1, books and puzzles for $1, and full outfits for $1.50 each!
You can also SELL you unwanted baby and kid’s items at these sales and make some extra cash. Let me tell you it’s better than holding a garage sale at your home! Your things get exposed to hundreds of mommies too!
Still not convinced? Check one out for yourself! Here are 2 consignment sales coming up in Tampa…..
Crazy Mommas Consignment
When- Saturday March 27th
Where- Fireman’s Benevolent Association Hall
Times- 7am - 2pm
I have been to this sale several times. They hold one twice a year - every Fall and Spring. It is well-organized and I have gotten so many great deals. I highly suggest attending if you’ve never been! Check out their website on more details - map of location, or to sell your items and how to attend the pre-sale!
Just Between Friends Consignment Sale
When- March 18th-20th
Where- Tampa Bay Baptist Conference Center
First time shoppers can shop the pre-sale on March 17th! That would be me! I’ve never attended this consignment sale before, but I plan on it! I’m excited to see what will be there.
Do you know of any other upcoming Consignment Sales in the Tampa area? If so please leave a comment!
