Utah Valley Moms was given flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries with the possibility that we might write about their product.  All opinions are our own.

Some other local bloggers and I recently got together for a blogger breakfast and it was fantastic.  If you have Instagram, search “#bloggerbreakfast” and you can see a bit of what we did.  But the highlight of my day was the Shari’s Berries I received.  I took them home and then indulged.  They were amazing!

They look amazing, right?! And trust me, they tasted a million times better than they looked. My husband’s friend who I would have not expected to eat any chocolate-covered strawberries because of how healthy he eats ended up eating two. I even let my kids eat a couple for breakfast because they’re somewhat healthy, right? I mean, the main part is a strawberry and that is definitely a breakfast food.

But what we didn’t realize is this evening, after I fed my family chocolate-covered strawberries from Shari’s Berries for breakfast, we’d actually receive another package of not only Shari’s Berries but some flowers from Pro Flowers as well!

When I found out that some blogger friends were receiving their packages and it was flowers and berries, I waited and waited and waited until I finally found something on my porch!

So I opened it immediately and my family were already trying to get to the berries.

I just wanted the flowers but they had to stay wrapped up for at least 8-12 hours so I kept them in their little sleeve.

And then the next morning I unwrapped them and this is what they look like now. And yes, I know, I’m not supposed to keep them on a windowsill to get direct light but in my defense, this window doesn’t usually get direct light and you know it’s been snowy outside so it’s been cloudy so they’ve been okay. But I do take them down if it gets too light and yes, they sit next to our knives.

These flowers were absolutely gorgeous and reminded me of the days when my husband used to always get me lilies from Pro Flowers for Valentine’s Day, which, by the way, is soon approaching.  This might be a good time to start planting those seeds in your significant other’s heads about sending you some flowers!

In case you’re wanting to know more about their products, here’s some great ones to view.  These are mostly for the holidays but I wouldn’t mind getting these at any time through the year.

Shari’s Berries:

  • Handmade Christmas Cake Pops
  • Swizzled Strawberries – The first picture is of the Full Dozen Gourmet Dipped Fancy Strawberries and they were my favorite – worth every penny!
  • Christmas Strawberries

Pro Flowers:
