Keep Your Feet Warm with Gold Toe Ribbed Crew Socks {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Gold Toe but my opinions are 100% my own! Gold Toe has socks for everyone in the family. You may remember over the holidays Gold Toe was part of my holiday gift guide as a place to buy something for the entire family. I added socks to that because I always buy new socks for my husband for Christmas. I put them in his stocking! I don't know why I do but I just always do. And he's happy to get them because through the year he always ends up either losing one of a pair or getting a hole in the socks. So by the end of the year, he's ready for more. You can find Gold Toe socks in stores like Kohl's, JCPenny, Macy's and more. Plus they have some outlet stores through...

Kidz Bop 25 in stores January 14, 2014 with New Kidz Bop Kids {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Kidz Bop but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls love music and dancing but they especially love Kidz Bop! They were very excited to recently learn that there is a Kidz Bop channel on Sirus XM radio so now it's Kidz Bop all the time in the car. At least when my husband isn't in the car. And honestly I don't mind because I really enjoy the music too. If you aren't familiar with Kidz Bop it's all of today's recent top music only sung by kids - for kids. What that means is it's cleaned up! Lets face it the music today is not appropriate for our kids but they love music. So Kidz Bop will give them that fun music to get them up and moving but in a G rated...

Add King’s Hawaiian Bread to Any Meal to Sweeten It Up {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 11 Comments

This post is Sponsored by King's Hawaiian but my opinions are 100% my own! We love bread. I grew up having bread with just about every meal and so did my husband. We don't always put it on the table because in the end we don't need all those extra carbs but we do have it on occasion. Since it's a rarity at our table, when we do have it it has to be GOOD! One brand we absolutely all agree upon is King's Hawaiian bread - especially the original Hawaiian sweet bread! It's more than just bread, it's like a treat because of the slight sweetness it has. But don't just stop at serving it as a side piece at dinner. You can do so much with this bread which is full of flavor. It's not flat...

omax3® The Ultra-Pure Omega-3 Supplement® {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 2 Comments

This post is Sponsored by omax3 Ultra-Pure but my opinions are 100% my own! Are you “omega-imbalanced?” If you’re like most Americans, the answer is yes! What does that mean? Essential fatty acids like omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the cellular function of our bodies. Omega-6 fatty acids help the body trigger an inflammatory response, necessary for the body to heal. Omega-3s counteract omega-6s to help the body resolve inflammation and keep it under control. The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is about 3 to 1, but the American diet, which is heavy on corn-fed meats, saturated fats and processed grains, is estimated to be at about 20 to 1.

Green Mountain Wild Mountain Blueberry K-Cups (Giveaway ends 1/6)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Cross Country Cafe but my opinions are 100% my own! I will admit, the first time I heard of Blueberry coffee, I wasn't very excited to run out and get some. Don't get me wrong, I love blueberry anything, especially blueberry muffins but blueberry coffee? That's just odd! But I was told that it was actually quite tasty so I had to try it. Plus it's a mild roast coffee, which is what I prefer. So I brewed a cup in my Keurig brewer and added some sugar (I always add sugar) but no creamer. I enjoy my coffee black now. It smelled amazing when it was brewing, more like I was baking blueberry muffins, not coffee. Even the girls noticed the scent and asked what I...

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 63 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Hampton Hotels but my opinions are 100% my own! Like most people, we have friends and family that visit us from out-of-state during the holidays. We have one extra bed here, but that's all. If we need more room than that, they have to stay else where. Hampton Hotels invites everyone who needs a place to stay this holiday, to stay with them.
