Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition – Bootcamp DVD Review & Giveaway (ends 7/29)

This post is Sponsored by Lionsgate Home Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! Have you seen Extreme Weight Lost with Chris Powell?  It's an amazing show and the transformations on that show are amazing.  I give those people a lot of credit for doing what they do to lose weight.  They are my heroes that's for sure.  Doing it with diet and exercise is very hard and anyone who can stick it out that long and go through what they do on this show is a strong and determined person.  I applaud them for sure! Not all of us can be on that show but we can all be as successful as they are with a lot of hard work and determination.  I've battled my weight all my life and the older I get the...

Lotty Dotty Shirt and Mini Outfit Review

This post is Sponsored by Lotty Dotty but my opinions are 100% my own! I am so tickled pink over this.  Have you heard of  Lotty Dotty interactive t-shirts and handbags?   They were inspired by playing dress up with paper dolls because you can change the outfit of the girl on your shirt with another outfit.  So cool right?  Well my daughter received a Lotty Dotty t-shirt along with an extra mini outfit and her eyes opened wide when she saw that she can dress up the doll on her shirt.  Cute right? They sell them for mother and for daughter so you can match each other... or not!   They even sell tote bags that also have dolls on them you can dress up.  It's really simple to do because the...

I'm sure you've all heard of Tupperware.   I love Tupperware and always have.  As a matter of fact I used to sell it when I was single and had more time.  I loved using it and selling it and I still love it.  We have several pieces in our home and use them all the time. We grill a lot in the summertime and I"m sure a lot of you do too.   Having products to help when grilling is a plus for me.  My husband runs the grill and he loves to bark orders and requests when he's grilling so I try to have everything ready to go when it's time to light the grill.

Breakfast at Home Makes Sense General Mills Giveaway (ends 7/15)

This post is Sponsored by General Mills but my opinions are 100% my own! We love breakfast and have it everyday.  I know some people like to skip it but not in this house.  On the weekends, my husband makes a big breakfast for him and girls and I think they girls really look forward to it.   But during the week it's much more simpler when it comes to breakfast.   The girls enjoy either toast or cereal.  And General Mills makes a few of their favorite brands - Cheerios and Lucky Charms! We rarely go out to eat for breakfast but I know a lot of people do.  The reason we don't is I just don't want to spend the money!  I don't feel that we consume enough breakfast foods to justify the cost.  ...

This summer, school is cool, as everyone’s favorite Monsters are embarking on their next adventure—college!  As you may know, the Disney•Pixar Monsters University movie hit...
