This post brought to you by TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine. I love HOT food.... but not too hot.  Just enough to give it a kick.  So I'd prefer to add the heat myself and for that reason I love TABASCO® Original Red because I can add as much as I want or as little as I want.  My favorite thing to use Tabasco sauce on is tacos or any Mexican food for that matter.  I can totally control how much I use, rather than wondering how hot the peppers will or will not be. As I mentioned last week, the Superbowl is approaching and I'm sure you are planning your Game-Day Party Menu so I wanted to mention something you may not of considered.  How about doing something different this...

My girls love their LeapFrog Explorer and so do I.  They have learned so much through play and though we do try to limit their time playing video games, we are happy to know when they do play they are getting something out of it.  But lets face it, fun is fun and the more fun they can have the happier they are!  Right? And happy kids make a happy mommy! Well when I say that this new addition that we received for the LeapFrog explorer is fun, I mean it is REALLY FUN!  What I'm talking about is the Camera & Video Recorder.  This thing is amazing not only in what it can do but in the quality that it does it. Here is what I love about the camera: It's just a little piece that you attach to...

On November 16th Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released Disney's A Christmas Carol on DVD and Blu-Ray.  Robert Zemeckis directs this great interpretation of Charles Dickens’ beloved tale, A Christmas Carol.

I don't like washing dishes by hand, I'm sure I'm not alone in this!  But what I really don't like to do is rewash dishes that have already gone through my dishwasher.  That's a HUGE waste of time and water as far as I'm concerned.   That's what I like about Finish Quantum, it helps eliminate the need for pre-rinsing and also the dishes come out clean so you don't have to wash them again. There are at least two days a week that I don't run the dishwasher.  If I don't have enough for a full load, I hate to waste the water and the detergent.  Unfortunately sometimes after sitting for that extra day, some of the dishes have dried food on them.   And I will admit, I'm too lazy to take them...

Snapfish has a Brand NEW Huge selection of photo cards to choose from this year.  So many that you may want to order a few different designs, I know I did!  But I settled on one... It looks like my oldest has her eyes closed, but they really aren't.  It's just a cheesy smile with her eyes scrunched up.  It's really a cute picture of them, they were laughing at me.  These pictures were taken Thanksgiving day and I was having a very hard time getting them to smile so I was being silly and they laughed.  I loved some of the 'not so perfect' pictures so I choose this design so I could display a few of them.  I especially love the one of them kissing.  They love giving each other kisses.  I'm...

Snapfish has a lot of new products that would make GREAT holiday gifts!  As part of the Snapfish Selects, they asked me to choose one of the new products for review.   I choose to make a Kidlandia Poster because I thought they were so cool and I know my daughter will love it. What is Kidlandia?  It's a 'world' you can personalize just for your child.  But the best part is they have a nice variety of themes to choose from.... Whimsical World Map - This world map adds cheerful Kreechurs and playful personalization to the oceans and the far reaches of the north and south.  A fun mix of fantasy and geography, it will inspire both curiosity and the imagination. USA Patchwork Map - Teach your...

With a pre-schooler in the house, we talk about what's going on in the bathroom all the time.  It's just something that happens when you have kids!  And lets face it, the kids aren't always too good about "the clean up" process, if you know what I mean! lol  That's why I was more than happy to work with Cottonelle and Mom Centrel on their Cottonelle Moist Wipes Blog Tour.  I figured this was something that would help with at least my preschooler, if not anyone else in my house. Cottonelle is giving us reason to rethink our families' and our own bathroom routines with Cottonelle brand Flushable Moist Wipes, designed to leave a fresher, cleaner feeling than dry toilet paper alone. Cottonelle...

Product Name: Hefty Odor Block Trash Bags I'm a fan of Hefty but I will admit I buy store brand bags most of the time, actually I've been buying them for a while now so I was excited to try out the Hefty Odor Block kitchen bags.  To be honest with you, I noticed immediately how much thicker these were than the store brand bags I've been using.  I actually like these so much better.  I hadn't realized how little quality the others were until I used the Hefty bags. As far as the Odor Blocking technology, at first I didn't really notice a difference but after using the entire box, I was able to look back and realize they really did seem to work.  Of course our garbage isn't always smelly...
