Disclosure: Post sponsored by Lunchbox but all opinions are my own. Please see below for additional disclosure Fall is not just about the holidays in our house, it's also about Football!  My husband enjoys watching college football as much as any other game.  The colleges we went to don't have football teams so we aren't very partial to a team, but we have a few favorites - Notre Dame and Ole Miss. And if you are going to watch football, you really need a nice TV because if you've ever watched football on a nice HD TV, then you won't want to go backwards because the quality is amazing.   The colors between the team uniforms, the cheerleader uniforms and then the green from the AstroTurf...

Our Bathroom Routines include Cottonelle + High Value Printable Coupon #LetsTalkBums

This post is Sponsored by Cottonelle but my opinions are 100% my own! I had no idea how hard it was bringing up kids. We truly do have to teach them everything (of course we do!).

My husband and I try to teach good cleaning habits in the bathroom.  And not just hand washing.  All parts of their body. Brushing their Teeth If you have children,...
