My husband has a tube of the regular Carmex in his coat right now and I know this because this weekend while we Christmas Caroled in the neighborhood, he pulled it out and applied it to the girls lips because it was pretty cold and dry out there.

Halls Intense Cool with Extra Strong Menthol Flavor Review (Giveaway ends 12/23)
This post is Sponsored by Halls but my opinions are 100% my own! It is cough and cold season along with the Flu as well. We found this out during our recent trip to Disney World where we picked up some germs that slowly went through my family. Thankfully most of us were sick the day we left and then throughout the week after. One at a time, except for my mother (who traveled with us) and my husband. Not only is it a bad season for illnesses in the air, but to make matters worse, 56 % of people with a cough or cold are still working out at the gym, riding public transportation and shaking hands. Which is how we got sick! According to a new survey from HALLS, Americans are out and...
Johnson & Johnson Care To Recycle Program and Giveaway (ends 12/23)
This post is Sponsored by Johnson's but my opinions are 100% my own! We recycle a lot! As a matter of fact, since we moved into this house, we recycle even more. In our old house we always ran out of room for recyclables in our bins. They were small and falling a part. I guess we could have asked for new ones and perhaps even bigger ones but I never took the time to look into it. When we moved to our current house, we had two huge barrels for recyclables. They used to have to separate cardboard from the rest in my town, but not anymore. So we can mix all our recyclables into the two big bins each week. So needless to say, I wanted to recycle as much as I could since we had...
