Moxie Girlz™ Poopsy Pets™ {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 4 Comments

This post is Sponsored by MGA Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! Have you seen the Moxie Girlz™ Poopsy Pets™ doll? They are pretty popular with girls ages 7 and up. This summer my girls are really into playing with Dolls. They've got a little town set up in their rooms where all the dolls live. They don't have a doll house but make one using their cubbies in their rooms. So cute and I love their imagination. We were walking through the store one day recently and we happened to be in the toy area and walked down the aisle where the Moxie Girlz were. I already had a doll for review but hadn't given it to them yet. Then all of a sudden my little one yes - "OMG it's the...

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by MGA Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! I remember when we received our first Lalaloopsy Doll. I loved the idea of them and thought they were so adorable. My mother in law heard they were the hottest toy for the holidays and was pretty impressed when I told her we already had one. And the girls loved her. Since they we've collected quite a few of them as they've changed over the years. And now they have a Lalaloopsy Mermaid! But she's not just any kind of mermaid, she's a bubbly mermaid and comes with bubbles! Little girls loves dolls, colorful dolls, mermaids and bubbles. So why not put them together in a cute little package. But this mermaid is...

nanoblock® Build It Your Way Competition {Giveaway} #nanoblockBIYW

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by nanoblock but my opinions are 100% my own! Even though I have girls, it doesn't mean that they don't like building things, because they do! If my husband asked them to build a toy plane, they'd do it. Not only do they enjoy the challenge, but they enjoy doing things with daddy. I've told you about nanoblock® before - the world’s smallest building block construction system from The Ohio Art Company and now you can purchase them at Target, one of my favorite stores to shop at! nanoblock® has some cool sets too. I love the 'Sites-to-See' sets where kids can build places from all over the world including the Taj Mahal, Big Ben, Crysler Building and more. We...

by Karen Mendes | Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Royal Apothic but my opinions are 100% my own! If you love lip balms that are tasty and make your lips feel great, then you will love Royal Apothic The Perfect Lip Collection that can only be found at Costco. But first a little about this brand because it's the first I heard of them... About Royal Apothic The Perfect Lip Collection A chance encounter in a London bookstore led our founder to an unworldly discovery. An apothecaries manual, lost to time, was discovered tucked upon a shelf and would become the inspiration for a collection of unique fragrances and amazing formulations that have taken consumers by storm.

Summer Entertaining made Easy with CVS and #ExtraSavings

by Karen Mendes | Product Review, Recipes | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by CVS/Pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! We do a lot of entertaining in the summer. I guess you could say we are homebodies but really we just love having our friends and neighbors over. The kids enjoy it too since it means more people to play with. This summer we are spending even more time at home due to some health problems my husband is having and entertaining can cost money. (keep reading for a yummy recipe at the bottom of this post) That's where CVS comes in. Each week you can save money on items to entertain in your home, with your ExtraCare Card. And they pretty much have the basics of what you'll need. What can you find at CVS for...

This post is Sponsored by Bodycology but my opinions are 100% my own! I recently received some bodycology Cherish the Moment Body Lotion, Wash and Fragrance Mist to try. I love body lotions, washes and fragrance mists. Especially in the summer. I put lotion on my legs and arms every day and I always use a nice scented body wash.

They come running up to me to tell me how nice I smell. 😉 bodycology Cherish the Moment A blushing fragrance dominated by cherry blossom blooms, creating a blissful and radiant...

A Handy Tool in your Kitchen this Summer is the Gripper Flex Cutting Board

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 2 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Architec but my opinions are 100% my own! I love cool gadgets, but I love gadgets that make my life easier even more. When working in the kitchen, the less of a mess I make, the better because I have to clean up after myself when I cook. I don't have someone working along side of me that will do the clean up for me. So anyway I can save time cleaning up, works for me. Architec has a cool cutting board that really helps in the kitchen. I have something similar but it doesn't work as well as this one. It's the Gripper Flex Cutting Board and it flexes to allow you to pour everything you just cut, right into the bowl/pan/grill - whatever! But what makes this...

Hello Kitty Sunscreen by Australian Gold {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review, TODAYS HOT POST | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Australian Gold but my opinions are 100% my own! We are in the sun a lot in the summer. You may know that by now because I've said it so many times. Sunscreen is VERY important to me and my husband and I are both very diligent about putting it on the girls. They are pretty much trained by now and know they have to put it on. They even remind us to re-apply after a while. Australian Gold is a name I've known for a long time and I'm happy to see they have a brand that is geared towards kids. Because lets face it, sometimes we need to make things fun for kids to do. Australian Gold has some fun Hello Kitty products for the kids, to keep their skin safe from...

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by Fruit of the Loom but my opinions are 100% my own! Fruit of the Loom is excited to announce its new reinvented boxer brief for men. With the reinvention of the boxer brief, Fruit of the Loom is asking America "We've changed our underwear. Shouldn't You?” ummm... YES!

Winning Moves Card Games for Kids and Adults {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Winning Moves but my opinions are 100% my own! We are all about playing games here and now that it is summertime, we are in the pool most days. But sometimes jumping in the pool can get boring (no not really but bear with me). So adding fun things to do in the pool always makes a happier environment right? I have some pool 'toys' that are pretty non-traditional and I think you are going to like them - at least I hope so! Do you like to play card games? Do your kids like to play card games? If you answered yes to either one of those questions and you have a pool (big or small doesn't matter) then what would you say if I said they made cards that you can use...

Treat your Feet to Some Comfortable and Cute Stance Socks

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 1 Comment

This post is Sponsored by Stance but my opinions are 100% my own! I love socks. If you've been reading my site for a while then you may know that. I have a slight obsession with socks. I don't wear them much in the summer but always have them on in the winter. And I don't wear plain white socks either. That is too boring. I like socks with character and comfort. I found a new company that has a nice selection of fun and serious socks and they are amazingly comfortable - Stance Socks. About Stance Socks STANCE is dedicated to the spirit of individuality with a design philosophy that believes in expression and function. Expression that creates an emotional visual connection and...

Stop & Shop Challenges YOU Once Again to Take the Own Brands Challenge

by Karen Mendes | Product Review | 0 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Stop & Shop but my opinions are 100% my own! You may remember a few months back that Stop & Shop challenged you to try some of their brands by offering them for FREE when you purchased the name brand product. There were 4 products each week for 2 weeks and I'm hoping you took advantage of that and found some new products. We took the challenge and figured out that the Stop & Shop cola was just as good as the brand name and their bath tissue worked really well. We have now switched to both those brands when they are priced lower than the national brands. Stop & Shop is once again giving you the opportunity to try some of their store name products...

Softsoap Decor Collection {Giveaway}

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 3 Comments

This post is Sponsored by Softsoap but my opinions are 100% my own! There is a NEW line of Softsoap in stores right now and I love them! The new Softsoap premium liquid hand soap line, the Décor Collection, comes in three enticing scents, Peony & Plum, Orchid Petals & Mint Water, and Wild Basil & Lime. They cost $2.49 a bottle but when you indulge in this purchase you are allowing yourself to take in the scents of summer while expressing your own personal style at home. We tried all 3 scents and while I love them all, the Wild Basil & Lime is my favorite. It smells amazing and fresh and so good, that I have a hard time believing it's Softsoap. The girls think they are...
