This post is Sponsored by Always, a Procter & Gamble Product but my opinions are 100% my own! Every day, women are trying to pursue their dreams and realize their passions, but can be held back (even by other women). Are you ready to give a girl a break? Research shows that helping others and being in the supporting company of other women actually reduces stress and makes women healthier and happier. And donating or doing something good releases oxytocin and physiologically, you feel good by doing good. I truly believe this because I always have a natural high when I help someone, especially someone that is really in need. And I try so hard to teach my girls about doing this as...

Old Time Candy Decade Box Review & Giveaway (ends 7/1)
This post is Sponsored by Old Time Candy but my opinions are 100% my own! I love candy. Always have and always will. I'm currently following the Nutrisystem program so right now I am not eating candy (I will again someday!) but that hasn't stopped my family from eating candy. Have you heard of Old Time Candy? It's a website that sells candy from years ago. You know that stuff you ate as a kid that you don't find in stores anymore! They sell what they call Decade Boxes and these boxes are full of candy that was either first introduced in that decade or very popular then. You can get Decade Boxes from the 1950s, 60s, 70s, 80s and they are available in two sizes. The 4 lb box...
Flying Heroes Action Figures Review & Giveaway (ends 7/1)
This post is Sponsored by The Bridge Direct but my opinions are 100% my own! The new Superman movie hit theaters on June 14th so now we are going to see lots of new Superman toys including this really fun Superman Flying Heroes action figure! My girls had so much fun with this trying to see how high they could get it to go. It was a little harder for them then it was for me because you have to pull it pretty fast so that it spins enough to really take off. I made a video of them trying and then of me doing it so you can see it's much easier for me. But the more they tried the better they got. Check out the video below but you may want to shut the volume off or down at least because...

Keep Your Phone Charged with the PowerSkin for Samsung Galaxy S™ III
This post is Sponsored by PowerSkin but my opinions are 100% my own! I have a Samsung Galaxy S III and I love it! One of my favorite phones yet! I use it so much. It's like a mini computer. Most of the pictures I take are taken on this phone, I also use it for video. I'm constantly checking my email and surfing the web. Especially while having lunch or walking to get the girls from school. Yes, I am addicted to my phone and I would be lost without it. So when the battery dies by around 5pm, I am lost especially if I'm heading out for the evening and won't be able to plug it in for long. I've used some traveling battery packs before and while those work good, it's something extra...

Snuggle Up with Lullaby & Good Night Elmo
This post is Sponsored by Sesame Street & Playskool but my opinions are 100% my own! I've always loved Elmo. My kids love Elmo and even now at 8 and 6, they still love Elmo. The minute this new Lullaby & Good Night Elmo doll arrived they started pushing his buttons and trying to snuggle with him in the box. So even though it says up to 4 years old, my kids still love him and so do I. My girls love their stuffed animals and they sleep with them every night. They always have. I check in on them each night before I go to bed and if by chance their favorite animal has fallen on the floor, I pick it up and they immediately snuggle back up with it. So had I given them this...

The Ergo Comfort Rug Review & Giveaway (ends 7/1)
This post is Sponsored by GelPro™ but my opinions are 100% my own! I love my GelPro™ mats and it's in my kitchen. I've been asked by so many people what kind of mat it is because everyone loves it. I actually move it around sometimes when I'm standing at my island for a while because I normally keep it in front of the sink. Ideally I'd love to have my entire floor made of a GelPro™ mat so it would always be cushioned. But I have a feeling my husband won't go for that! I received and email recently asking if I wanted to try out The Ergo Comfort Rug™ and as I continued to read the email, I realized that it's from the makers of GelPro™ so I jumped at the chance. The difference with...

Good Cook Produce Keepers Review & Giveaway (ends 6/24)
This post is Sponsored by Good Cook but my opinions are 100% my own! As you know, I've been following the Nutrisystem program for almost 2 months now and I'm eating a lot of fruits and veggies so my fridge is always stocked well. I'm finding out through trial and error how long I can actually keep the veggies in the fridge and how long they'll last. I've lost a few but learned along the way. As part of the Good Cook Kitchen Expert program, I received a box of Good Cook Produce Keepers to try out. These containers won't magically make your veggies and fruits last longer, but their life may be increased a bit more over a plastic bag! Included in the box was a Citrus Keeper, Banana...
