#SummerFun with Blobby's Pizza Strategic Pizza-Eating Game!

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Semper Smart Games for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

We found a fun game for family game nights this summer and we'd love to share it with y'all today!  Check out Blobby's Pizza:

Blobby's Pizza is perfectly travel-sized for family/friend adventures with its bright colors and cute monsters! The strategic pizza-eating contest teaches fractions, decimals, and percentages for kids 9 and up, so it's great for keeping those young brains sharp this summer!

With their monsters, players can eat their way to the highest bill, while sharpening those math skills! However, in the game, you’ll also need to keep your eyes on your pies, because you can never know when another player's monster will try to steal your pizza! 

We are really enjoying Blobby's Pizza and I have a feeling we will be playing it quite often this summer!

#SummerFun and Healthy Snacking with Quevos!

 *DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Quevos for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

Something about summer makes us crave salty and savory snacks, but after too much snacking comes the guilt of indulging in tons of empty calories.  Quevos has the solution with their yummy egg white crisps!  What's better than guilt-free summer snacking? 

Quevos was featured on Shark Tank and they have put together a special Shark Tank Variety pack that includes the following flavors:

Quevos Rancheros

Honey Mustard

Dill Pickle

2 Sour Cream and Onion

These Keto-friendly flavors provide a good source of protein and fiber in addition to being extremely low carb. Each 1 oz bag contains 8 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and only 4 grams of net carbs! Wow!  Quevos are also Gluten Free and all except the Honey Mustard are Grain Free as well.  Plus, if you purchase more than one 5 pack, shipping is free!

These crispy snacks were a hit with the adults and teens in our household.  I love the variety of flavors and our favorites were the Sour Cream and Onion and the Dill Pickle.  So super yummy!  Quevos are the perfect high fiber/high protein treat that you can feel good about snacking on all summer!
