This post is Sponsored by Cottonelle but my opinions are 100% my own! I had no idea how hard it was bringing up kids. We truly do have to teach them everything (of course we do!). Some lessons are easier than others, but I've also learned that teaching by example is one very effective way.  (Keep reading for a toilet paper coupon) To me, the bathroom is full of germs, even when it's clean.  So it's a huge pet peeve of mine when my kids try to get away with entering the bathroom and leaving without properly cleaning themselves. My husband and I try to teach good cleaning habits in the bathroom.  And not just hand washing.  All parts of their body. Brushing their Teeth If you have children,...

This post is Sponsored by Savers but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls start talking about Halloween months before it arrives.  They usually change their minds a few times about what they want to be, but this year they both knew right away what they wanted to be for Halloween.    82% of those who usually dress up plan ahead for their costumes and don’t just put something together that day—on average, these folks start preparing their costumes 75 days ahead of time. That’s more than two months! My oldest who is in 4th grade wants to be a nerd (not sure why, but I'll go with it) and my youngest who is in 2nd grade, wants to be Elsa, of course! I have a feeling we are going to have a...

This post is Sponsored by Burt's Bees but my opinions are 100% my own! Burt's Bees is celebrating 30 years of protecting our skin.  I was surprised to hear they have been around that long because it wasn't until a few years ago that I started seeing their products and using them.   This is the time of year that I am shopping for things to help my skin from drying up and Burt's Bees is one product I've been using for a while. I have two main concerns when it comes to the effects the cold in New England have on my skin - my lips and my hands.   I'm a lip balm addict and so is my husband.  We use it all the time and even more in the winter.   So I was happy to see that Walmart has a really...

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Crest. My opinions are 100% my own! A few weeks ago I told you about the NEW Crest Sensi-Stop strips to help those with sensitive teeth.  I have sensitive teeth so I was eager to try these out. Crest® Sensi-Stop™ Strips are thin, flexible strips that contain an active ingredient used by dental professionals. Unlike toothpaste, Crest® Sensi-Stop™ Strips are applied directly to sensitive areas, providing targeted delivery of the key ingredient that allows for longer contact time on the surface of the tooth. Within minutes, strips build a lasting barrier that helps stop sensitivity pain by blocking tubules, relieving symptoms of dental sensitivity for up...
