  This post is Sponsored by Softsoap but my opinions are 100% my own! Summer isn't over yet and you can still enjoy the new Limited Edition Softsoap Body Wash in either Pacific Sunset or Maui Coconut Splash!  They both have awesome smells that make me think of summer so using them in the morning puts me in the right mood for a hot day.  Isn't it funny how scents can do that?  You'll love these all year round but they will only be out for a short time so stock up on them for a pick me up in the middle of winter! The fresh scents and Moisture-Rich Formulas provide a Beach Escape Softsoap® Pacific Sunset Refreshing Citrus Capture the summer sunset in your shower with the new Softsoap® brand...

This post is Sponsored by General Mills through My Blog Spark but my opinions are 100% my own! I am not a morning person so needless to say I'm not looking forward to school starting up again because that means I have to be up early to get the kids ready to go. So simple yet good breakfasts are on the top of my list especially during the Back To School Season. Pillsbruy has a new product that will surely help you during the school year - Pancakes and Waffles in a Pouch!! Pillsbury Heat-N-Go come in two tasty flavors of pancakes (Maple Burst’n and Blueberry) and one flavor of waffle (Maple Madness). Time and convenience are on your side as each serving comes individually wrapped with flavor...

This post is Sponsored by Sara Lee but my opinions are 100% my own! Oh how I love little pastries.  And I was very sad when a company (who will rename nameless) went out of business.  However, my hips don't need them but every now and then it's a nice treat to have.  So I was pretty excited when I saw that Sara Lee has a new line of Snack Cakes and we received a few for review. Bimbo Bakeries USA (BBU), the nation’s largest baking company and part of Grupo Bimbo, announced the national launch of Sara Lee Snack Cakes, baked fresh to go. The Sara Lee brand has been an American household icon for decades, with moist, buttery and delicious desserts that create lasting memories. Sara Lee has an...

This post is Sponsored by MyAllergyTest but my opinions are 100% my own! I had terrible seasonal allergies as a child and even through high school.  I eventually grew out of them, I guess?   I am not sure if that’s really what happens but as I went through college I didn’t suffer from them much anymore. Until this summer.  We moved last year and now we live in the city and in a neighborhood surround by neighbors and yards and lots of green and colorful ‘stuff’.  I love it and it’s all beautiful.   But when everything was in bloom earlier this spring boy did I suffer!  It’s seriously been YEARS since I’ve dealt with allergies and it wasn’t fun. I’m guessing it’s because we moved into a...

This post is Sponsored by Sears Optical but my opinions are 100% my own! The back to school season is upon us and some kids have already begun the new school year in some parts of the country.  We still have a few weeks to go but we are getting ready. One thing we always did when I was a kid was get our eyes checked before school started.  Both my brother and I wore glasses so it was a good time to get a new prescription, if needed.  My youngest doesn’t seem to have any vision problems but she is going into the 1st grade which means she’s finally in school all day long.   If we were going to notice a problem, this year would be it so before school starts we are bringing both of them to...

This post is Sponsored by Lionsgate Home Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! I grew up with the Care Bears and I love that my kids are too.   We have several of the little bears scattered though out our house as my kids love stuffed animals and hate to part with them.   But the Care Bears are just so colorful and each of them has a special message that teaches children as well, so they are definitely my favorite. I love anything that promotes learning through play and I feel that’s the message of the Care Bears as well.  All of their books and movies are teaching my kids something, and the kids have no idea.   They are just enjoying the entertainment of it! If you are a parent...

This post is Sponsored by Hasbro but my opinions are 100% my own! I may have girls and not boys but they love building things.  This makes my husband happy because he can only do enough with dolls and play food.  He loves building things as well and each year after Christmas he usually spends hours with them, building play sets that they receive as gifts. We’ve enjoy KRO-O Construction sets but this is way beyond brilliant of them and just opens the door to so much more playing time.  I love when kids play and whenever they tell me they are bored I give them the speech about how they have so many things to just go and play! We’ll they have been playing since we received the KRE-O CityVille...

This post is Sponsored by Disney but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls counted down the days for this movie to be on.... and they've watched it so many times since, that they know certain parts by heart!  And of course they know all the songs.   My little one had no idea how to use the DVD player until we got this.  Now all of a sudden she can figure it out by herself.  I've come down almost each morning and she has it on, AGAIN. I can't say I blame her.   It's a cute movie and the songs are fun and catchy.   I find myself singing them as well when they aren't around.   I have always loved musicals and especially ones where they just start singing in the middle of a scene.  My favorite...

This post is Sponsored by Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® Mac & Cheese but my opinions are 100% my own! I know it's not the best meal they can have, but my kids enjoy mac & cheese.  I've made it myself and I've made it from a box, either way they enjoy it.  We do try to turn it into more of a meal by serving it with a side of veggies, salad and sometimes grilled chicken!   But since they enjoy the boxed ones, I sometimes save some time and money and just make those. I was excited to learn that Pepperidge Farm® has their own Mac & Cheese now and it features their very famous Goldfish!     I had a feeling this would be a big hit with my kids and I was right.  The pasta is shaped liked...
