We only have a couple of weeks left before Thanksgiving arrives and then after that it's the Christmas rush! Part of getting prepared for our big Thanksgiving meal, is getting everything ready to prepare, cook and serve the meal. In about a week, I'll be pulling out my best dinner plates and washing them all to use for Thanksgiving day. Since they sit in my cabinet all year long, I like to run them through the dishwasher before we use them. I also dig out all my knives, serving plates, bowls and gravy boat. It's a lot of stuff...

Our Bathroom Routines include Cottonelle + High Value Printable Coupon #LetsTalkBums

by Karen Mendes | Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 23 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Cottonelle but my opinions are 100% my own! I had no idea how hard it was bringing up kids. We truly do have to teach them everything (of course we do!). Some lessons are easier than others, but I've also learned that teaching by example is one very effective way. (Keep reading for a toilet paper coupon) To me, the bathroom is full of germs, even when it's clean. So it's a huge pet peeve of mine when my kids try to get away with entering the bathroom and leaving without properly cleaning themselves. My husband and I try to teach good cleaning habits in the bathroom. And not just hand washing. All parts of their body. Brushing their Teeth If you have children,...

FabKids October Picks – Cute Fall and Holiday Dresses

by Karen Mendes | FabKids, Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 17 Comments

This post is Sponsored by FabKids but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls love to wear dresses. Even in the winter when it's cold in New England. So we usually pair them with leggings to keep their legs warm. Sometimes they'll put on a pair of yoga pants under a dress and try to get away with it but I don't let them. They clearly don't look in the mirror before leaving their bedrooms! FabKids is one of my favorite places to get cute and stylish dresses for my girls. They have more than dresses, but I'm drawn to them. Each month, FabKids introduces new styles to their adorable selection. I honestly get excited when I see an email with a new look book.
