This post is Sponsored by P&G but my opinions are 100% my own! We are a family of P&G users and we have been for years. My husband and I grew up using some of the brands we still use today. It's crazy how we keep going back to the same products over and over again. We have our favorites that's for sure, and we have reasons for why they are our favorites - they work and they make our lives easier. That's what P&G wants from their products. How do I know this? Because they say it over and over again, they want to make our lives easier. Read the stuff I share and watch their commercials and you'll see it's always the same message - help us in our busy lives. The holidays...

The Energizer Bunny Turns 25 and a Giveaway! (ends 12/13)
This post is Sponsored by Energizer but my opinions are 100% my own! I can't believe it but it has been 25 years since America’s favorite unstoppable icon, the Energizer Bunny, drummed his way in to consumers’ hearts and homes. Sadly I'm old enough to remember all 25 of those years and I remember seeing him on commercials. Actually, he's what I identify Energizer batteries with, and only him. I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me on that. Age has not slowed the Energizer Bunny down one bit. Rather, it has motivated and expanded his personal mantra to that’s positivenergy™ - a commitment to designing products with people in mind and investing in programs that have a positive impact...
