Magic Jinn Review & Giveaway (ends 7/22)

Magic Jinn Review & Giveaway (ends 7/22)

This post is Sponsored by Hasbro but my opinions are 100% my own! Remember playing 20 questions? Hasbro’s new MAGIC JINN brings that game to life by actually guessing what you’re thinking. Think of an animal and then listen to a series of questions from MAGIC JINN to which you answer ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ ‘I don’t know’ or ‘it depends.’ You might think you can stump him, but through a series of silly and thought-provoking questions MAGIC JINN will magically try to guess exactly what you’re thinking! He’s great for one on one play to keep little ones thinking and imagining, and he’s also great for a group game that the whole family can enjoy together. My girls and their friends had so much fun with...

Save Money with the Conair® 20-Piece Lithium Ion Haircut Kit

Save Money with the Conair® 20-Piece Lithium Ion Haircut Kit

This post is Sponsored by Conair but my opinions are 100% my own! Now that the summer is here and in full swing, I'd love to shave both my girls heads.  Seriously if they'd let me, I would.  They both have very long hair and it is getting more and more difficult to brush each day.  And now that they are in the pool so much, it's even harder because it gets tangled more than normal.  This is when I wish I had boys because I could just buzz it off and not have to worry about it. If you have boys and want to buzz their hair for the summer to help them to stay cooler but you don't want to have someone else do it, then save some money and grab one of these Conair® 20-Piece Lithium Ion Haircut...

She doesn't look too sad, does she?   That's my oldest and she is turning into a fish!

Breakfast at Home Makes Sense General Mills Giveaway (ends 7/15)

Breakfast at Home Makes Sense General Mills Giveaway (ends 7/15)

This post is Sponsored by General Mills but my opinions are 100% my own! We love breakfast and have it everyday.  I know some people like to skip it but not in this house.  On the weekends, my husband makes a big breakfast for him and girls and I think they girls really look forward to it.   But during the week it's much more simpler when it comes to breakfast.   The girls enjoy either toast or cereal.  And General Mills makes a few of their favorite brands - Cheerios and Lucky Charms! We rarely go out to eat for breakfast but I know a lot of people do.  The reason we don't is I just don't want to spend the money!  I don't feel that we consume enough breakfast foods to justify the cost.  ...

Polly Pocket Wall Party Tree House Review & Special Savings

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Polly Pocket. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. My girls LOVE Polly Pocket and they are still at the age where they love imaginary play, especially my little one. We have a lot of Polly toys and they all have a spot in her room so they stay together. The most recent Polly Pocket play set however, won't be put with the rest of them. Why you ask? Because it stays on her wall! Yes you read that right, the Polly Pocket Wall Party Tree House actually attaches to the wall so they kids can play with it while it's on the wall, and it will stay there as...

Band-Aid® and Monsters University Giveaway (ends 7/15)

Band-Aid® and Monsters University Giveaway (ends 7/15)

This post is Sponsored by Band-Aid® but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls are addicted to Band-Aid® and we go through so many of them.  My girls are also very dramatic.  If they get a bump they instantly think it's going to bleed and we have to run and get a Band-Aid.   Once it's in place, then everything is all better.   So when there is a fun band-aid to put on, it makes it better even faster.  I'm happy to add the Monsters University to our first aid kit because I know this summer they will come in very handy. This summer, school is cool, as everyone’s favorite Monsters are embarking on their next adventure—college!  As you may know, the Disney•Pixar Monsters University movie hit...

Fruit of The Loom Underwear for the Entire Family

This post is Sponsored by Fruit of the Loom but my opinions are 100% my own! I do all of the shopping for the family not just for food and household items, but also for clothes.  Even for my husband because he's very busy with work.  But I'll admit, one thing that sometimes gets overlooked is the underwear and when we all need new ones.   I know some people buy new stuff before school starts or around the holidays but I really don't have a schedule for these items. My little ones are growing like weeds these days and while I buy them bigger clothes as they grow, I tend to forget about the garments that are under their clothes. I was happy when Fruit of the Loom offered to send my family...

Make Your Grill Shine with Brillo

This post is Sponsored by Brillo but my opinions are 100% my own! Now that summer is here you are probably pulling out your grill and getting it prepped for entertaining. Backyard BBQers have many different techniques when it comes to cleaning the grill. Some choose to turn the burner on high and cook off all the leftover grease and food build up, while others use a bucket of water with harsh, chemical cleaning products. Both of these methods can be messy, difficult and time-consuming. difficult and time-consuming.  Several options from Brillo® however, including their company’s signature Brillo Steel Wool Soap Pads, the new Brillo Heavy Duty Soap Pads, or the Heavy Duty Scour Pad, can...

P&G and Always Give A Girl A Break Giveaway (ends 7/8)

This post is Sponsored by Always, a Procter & Gamble Product but my opinions are 100% my own! Every day, women are trying to pursue their dreams and realize their passions, but can be held back (even by other women).   Are you ready to give a girl a break?   Research shows that helping others and being in the supporting company of other women actually reduces stress and makes women healthier and happier.   And donating or doing something good releases oxytocin and physiologically, you feel good by doing good. I truly believe this because I always have a natural high when I help someone, especially someone that is really in need.  And I try so hard to teach my girls about doing this as...

Old Time Candy Decade Box Review & Giveaway (ends 7/1)

This post is Sponsored by Old Time Candy but my opinions are 100% my own! I love candy.  Always have and always will.  I'm currently following the Nutrisystem program so right now I am not eating candy (I will again someday!) but that hasn't stopped my family from eating candy. Have you heard of Old Time Candy?  It's a website that sells candy from years ago.  You know that stuff you ate as a kid that you don't find in stores anymore!   They sell what they call Decade Boxes and these boxes are full of candy that was either first introduced in that decade or very popular then.   You can get Decade Boxes from  the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and they are available in two sizes.

Flying Heroes Action Figures Review & Giveaway (ends 7/1)

This post is Sponsored by The Bridge Direct but my opinions are 100% my own! The new Superman movie hit theaters on June 14th so now we are going to see lots of new Superman toys including this really fun Superman Flying Heroes action figure!  My girls had so much fun with this trying to see how high they could get it to go.  It was a little harder for them then it was for me because you have to pull it pretty fast so that it spins enough to really take off.   I made a video of them trying and then of me doing it so you can see it's much easier for me.  But the more they tried the better they got. Check out the video below but you may want to shut the volume off or down at least because...
