What is Next for Raffey Cassidy of TOMORROWLAND? Read This Exclusive Interview #TomorrowlandEvent

by Karen Mendes | Blog Trips, Disney News, Entertainment | 2 Comments

Disclosure: I received an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles California for the #TomorrowlandEvent. All opinions are my own and were not swayed by any outside sources! I was very excited to interview Raffey Cassidy as she was the youngest person I'd ever interviewed and honestly I wasn't quite sure what to expect. When she walked into the room full of 25 mom bloggers, you could tell she was a bit nervous. At that point I realized, she probably had no idea what to expect from us either! She is a beautiful young lady with the cutest British accent and I could seriously listen to her talk all day long! Raffey Cassidy is one of 5 kids. She has three brothers and one sister, who along...

FabKids Summer Stripe Tutu Dress #MyFabKid

by Karen Mendes | FabKids, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by FabKids but my opinions are 100% my own! Getting dressed in the morning in my house is never really a problem with my girls. They love all the clothes in their closets and aren't too picky about what they wear. (Shoes however are a completely different story!) That being said, our mornings don't always run that smoothly. They are usually fighting with me over their hair and whether or not they did a good job brushing it. And then those mornings when I have nothing for them to eat for breakfast! (I have plenty of food for them to eat, it's just not always what they want!) Do you have these problems too? But when it comes to clothes, thankfully that goes...

by Karen Mendes | HOT Deals, Printable Coupons, Target, Walmart | 0 Comments

Toilet paper is a must and it always seems prices get higher and higher for this item that is so disposable that it seems a waste to spend so much money on it but what choice do we all have? Nothing good, if you think about it. Therefore, we're stuck with trying to find the best deals on toilet paper every time we're in the store.

Nicorette Lozenge Deal at Wal-Mart

by Karen Mendes | HOT Deals, Printable Coupons, Walmart | 0 Comments

All of us have a habit or had one at some point that we wanted to get rid of. When I was younger, I used to bite my nails nonstop. My dad hated it and I hated that I always ruined my nails that grew so long and naturally shaped themselves pretty. I decided to grab up some gum and keep my mouth busy so I wouldn't have my fingernails in my mouth all the time. Thank goodness it worked. I had kicked the habit in about a month. Sometimes it just takes a little something to help us kick our habits we don't want anymore. Smoking is a habit that my grandma had to kick and Nicorette was her little helper in kicking that habit. Check below for a huge savings and a great deal on...

Last week I shared the first part of our interview and today I'm sharing the rest of it. Our interview contained some spoilers so I wanted to make sure you had a chance to see the movie before you read it. George Clooney Talks About...
