NEW Always Discreet Line {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by P&G but my opinions are 100% my own! You may have noticed in stores that P&G has re-entered the Adult Incontinence category with the Always brand and is now offering Always Discreet. I will admit, this is a product that as I get older, I'm realizing I need. After having two babies and two c-sections, things don't work as they should. Always is a name I grew up with because they came out around the same time I started needed them. It's a name I trust and I'm excited to have another product I can count on. Always aren't just for "that time of the month" anymore! Unfortunately, 1 in 3 women ages 18-75 has a sensitive bladder, but only 1 in 9 use the...

This post is Sponsored by CVS/Pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! My kids are off to school today! It seems so early this year since it's not even September.

BJ’s Back To School Lunch Box Makeover

by Karen Mendes | Lunch Recipes, Product Review | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by BJ's Wholesale Club but my opinions are 100% my own! Next week is back to school for us so we've been talking about back packs, lunchboxes and lunch ideas. I like to give them healthy options in their lunch box because they need good fuel to get them through the day. But sometimes I need to hide those healthy options so they don't know they are there. Because grade school is supposed to be fun right? And boring lunches aren't fun. BJ's Wholesale club offers a lot of healthy lunch options that kids will enjoy. They sent me a sample of some items they sell for my kids to try out. And for me to check out. If you are looking for some ideas to change the...

If you like to bake you have to check them out. I love to bake. But one thing I love more than baking is eating the things I bake. My husband loves when I bake cookies. Even if they come from a mix.
