Amdro PowerFlex Pest & Weed Killer Review & $50 American Express Gift Card Giveaway (ends 6/17)
This post is Sponsored by AMDRO but my opinions are 100% my own! I hate bugs, in the house and outside. One thing I like about winter is that a lot of them disappear during the cold months. But the minute the ground starts to warm up, they are back. The only time I'm brave when it comes to bugs is when my kids are around because I don't want them to hate them like I do. So I put on a brave face and tell them "oh it's just a bug, you are bigger than it" when really inside I'm thinking "OMG it's gonna eat me!". I know silly but I just don't like them. It's nice out now so we are outside more, with the bugs of course. I don't enjoy walking around barefoot in the grass because it could...
Father’s Day Gift Idea | Oral-B Electric Toothbrush
If you follow my blog regularly, then you know that I've had several opportunities to try some Oral-B Electric toothbrushes and honestly I love them all.

Father's Day is a great time to get dad something that is for him only and once you are a dad then the things that you like change. As you get older practical items are better than those that are not practical. So an Oral-B toothbrush would be a great gift for Dad for Father's Day and...
