The Flintstones Vitamins “10 Million Stronger” Campaign & Giveaway (ends 12/17)

The Flintstones Vitamins “10 Million Stronger” Campaign & Giveaway (ends 12/17)

  My girls love taking vitamins and they remind me every day that they need their vitamins.  To them it's like having candy because their vitamins taste good.  And I'll admit, occasionally when I give them their vitamins, I'll take some too.  (I'm not as good about taking vitamins as they are!) I am grateful that they enjoy taking them and they remind me.  When the doctor asks me if I give them a multivitamin I say yes and they always chime in "when you remember".  Those are the moments where I miss them being small enough to not talk for themselves!  Hey I'm a busy mom and I forgot from time to time. My point to all this is I'm so happy that companies like Flintstones make them yummy...

Over the next month or so I'll be sharing with you my experience using Bluebird.   It's not a credit card, it's more of a prepaid card and you can only spend the money...

Contac® Cold + Flu Day & Night Review & Giveaway (ends 12/10)

I've been battling a cold for the past month.  It went away for a little while and came back.  I'm so tired of being sick and I'm happy to say I think I'm on the way to feeling better.  Last week was the hardest because I couldn't even breathe.  I'm absolutely miserable when I can't breathe.  And at the same time I had my 5-year-old home with me because she also had a cold and a fever, so I had to keep her home.  It hasn't been fun! I used the Contac cold+flu that I received for review and I will say it worked pretty good, but the best part was the nighttime one really helped me to sleep!  That was the important part.  And I loved how it's a Dual Formula pack so I don't have to buy two...
