I love one pot meals, especially if they require long slow cooking. And the best pots for this are Le Creuset's French Ovens. These are made to last for generations. Though expensive, you can find these ovens ranging in price from $79.00 to over $300.00, depending on size. Le Creuset offers a life time warranty on their cookware. They are hand forged and have all in one piece hand...

I remember loving Russell Stover French Mints ever since I was a small child, when the company was little known.  And they are still one of my favorite candy treats to this day. A ten ounce box is $7.99 and they can be found at most grocery stores and drug store chains.  I love the fact that the are bite-sized.  I like to take two or three out of the box, put the box away and enj...

On this 8 oz. bottle of Simply Basic French Vanilla Pear Body Mist, it claims their fragrance is a mix of fresh pear with a touch of grapefruit and green apple as well as vanilla. I use this Simply Basic Body Mist usually after I have showered. The smell is good but it is really strong. I don't detect a scent of grapefruit, apple or even vanilla. All I can smell is the pear, it overrides an...

Glade* French Vanilla Scented Candles are real winners. And who doesn't like the smell of soft, creamy, french vanilla? French Vanilla may well be one of everybody's favorite scents to smell.What makes this Glade French Vanilla candle better than others is that it's made with essential oils. In other words, the essence of the fragrance is directly extracted from its natural sou...

I have been using Glade aerosol air-freshening sprays for many years, and I like most of the fragrances this brand offers. This one, however - French Vanilla - turned out to be a disappointment. When I first purchased it, I fully expected to like it since vanilla is one of my favorite fragrances. I tried the spray at the store, and the familiar, sweet candy-like scent of vanilla seemed good. Ye...

Back, a few years ago, we decided to add on to our house.   Our two kids had to share a room, and the oldest was needing her space.  Plus, all those two do when they are together is fight.  So, we added a dinning room and along with the extra room.We thought while we are borrowing the money, we should go ahead and get everything that we want.  I have always loved the lo...

I got Rosetta Stone French for my birthday this year because I was having French Student come over and visit me for an emmersion course. I was very excited to get because I am really into languages and I was pleased that Rosetta Stone was only fun but it tought me important things like pronunciation and grammar, it also came with different activities to help you retain what you have learned. So...

What did we do before liquid hand soaps? I cannot stand to see a bar of soap out on a counter, for hand washing, as it spreads germs, and it gets so messy. I love the liquid soaps, and I've always been a fan of Softsoap. I've tried many fragrances, and antibacterial Softsoaps, but I had never tried a foaming hand soap until the Christmas holidays. We were away on vacation, and I always ...

The Sally Hansen French Manicure pen makes history of the little glue on tip tape with their quick to use pen.  It isn't perfect but it certainly does make creating the French manicure look (white tipped nails) a much quicker process.The pen holds about 5ml of white nail polish and when you use it for the first time you need to press the tip of the pen down on a protected surface to ge...

I recently stayed at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter Resort with my family while on vacation at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. While the resort was okay, it just wasn't that great. I really expected a lot more. This resort really lacked what other Disney resorts have. It is very, very small. There's no recreation activities going on like at many other Disney resorts. The roo...

We chose the Graco Step 1 carseat for my daughter. The color we have is French Roast, a lovely combination of chocolate and soft green. We wanted a gender-neutral color even though we knew we were having a girl so that we could use the carseat for future babies and this was an excellent choice! We also purchased the coordinating stroller.  This car seat is slightly wider than others made b...

We purchased the Graco Quattro Stroller in French Roast for our first child before she was born. We loved the gender-neutral color combo so that we can use it for our daughter and possibly later on for little boys! This thing rolls like a Cadillac! It collapes really easily and stores in the back of my car with no problem. I drive an SUV and this thing takes up half of the back area, so if you ...

My husband and I received a box of Laura Secord French and Frosted Mints for Christmas.  We've had other mints before, but Laura Secord is one brand that we don't endulge ourselves with, due to the (supposed) cost.   These mints were divine.  The chocolate was smooth and creamy, melting in my mouth like ice cream on a summer's day.  The mint flavour was just...

Included in this line of cosmetics is a french manicure duo.I recently purchased this duo on sale, in hopes to have great quality polish. What I got was something different.

I am addicted to shopping in the Country House catalogue.  They sell a variety of primitive decor items and I have been a loyal customer for many years.Recently, I purchased the French Round Wire Stand to add to my deck decor.  The price was a little steep, especially when you throw in the cost of shipping for this oversized item.When this piece arrived, it came in two pieces that req...

    On my journey to live as naturally as possible (without having to move into a hut in the middle of the wilderness, go hunting for my own food, ect), I decided it would be a good idea to start cleaning with all-natural products. That is when I decided to buy this.     Overall, it is an absolutely wonderful product. A literal breath of fresh air. It works well on...

I love the scent of lavender-whenever I smell it, it immediately calms and puts me in a happy place.  I am not brand loyal to a particular brand of deodorant as I tend to buy whatever I have a coupon for.  I happened to have one for Secret and jumped all over the fact that they had a lavender fragrance.   The French Lavender scent is from one of Secret's newest categorie...

Port Orleans French Quarter Resort is one of the resorts/hotels at Walt Disney World in Florida. Disney has three categories of resorts: Value, Moderate, and Deluxe. Port Orleans French Quarter is in the moderate category. This is one of the smallest, if not the smallest resort at Disney. That can make it nice in a way bceause all room locations are within close proximity to the food court, the...

When you're tired irritable or ready to scream, turn on the taps, pour in the bubbles and sink in a nice hot tub. Then.. grab a big fat fragrant bar of Roger et Gallet's perfumed soap and let the dreamy fragrance melt your cares away. Yes, they are that lovely. I got my first box at 16 years old from my mother, and have been buying these soaps ever since. These are not just soaps, but a...
