Kohl's Halloween Essentials It's no secret that I am an avid Kohl's shopper. If I have a few minutes to spend by myself shopping, that is probably where you will find me. That is why I was so excited when I received a surprise box of Halloween essentials from Kohl's to share with you! I have scaled back over the years on our Halloween decorations, but this pillow is just the right subtle touch for our living room. The kids love to lay … [Read more...]

by 4 Comments
Project Sunlight is Turning the Table on Child Hunger Promotional item received. All opinions are my own. Child hunger, often perceived to be a world-away issue, is now an all too common reality facing millions of America’s most vulnerable.

Your Best Friend Deserves a DogVacay | Make Money Watching Dogs
by 57 Comments
Thank you to DogVacay for sponsoring today's conversation. All opinions are my own. Our pets are like our second set of children... and in some cases our only children. We take them everywhere with us. Some even carry their furry friends around in bags so they are always by their side. But sometimes... we have to leave them behind. Leaving our best friends at a kennel for boarding is terrifying for them and heartbreaking for us. We … [Read more...]

Find Your Halloween at Kmart Promotional items received. All opinions are my own. When someone mentions Halloween, I instantly think trick or treating, decorating, parties, pumpkin carving and candy. Did you know, this year, Americans will spend an average of $72 on Halloween, $7 billion overall (National Retail Federation, 2014)? INSANE! This year we decided to make our dollar go a little further and have our candy bowl a tad bit … [Read more...]
Target and Dove Want YOU to Celebrate Feeling Beautiful
by 359 Comments
Sponsored post by Lunchbox, all opinions are 100% my own. I was bullied and teased enough about my weight as a child that the words continued to haunt my head into adulthood. Until recently. No matter what I weighed, I always saw in the mirror what people told me I was. I recently decided that they were liars. This began my journey to transform my thinking... which in turn is finally transforming my body. I'm not sure what helped flip … [Read more...]

Shark Rocket Vacuum
by 302 Comments
Sample received for review. All opinions are my own. The Shark Rocket is a new ultra light vacuum that comes in a small compact size but yet has a amazing suction like a larger vacuum. Taking the Vacuum out of the box there is very minimal assembly. The vacuum came with some great additional accessories including; A crevice tool, for those small hard to reach corners. A small head upholstery brush, works great for pet owners and … [Read more...]

Time to Up Our Oral Hygiene Routine | Be a Healthy Habit Hero
by 9 Comments
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for LISTERINE. I received samples for this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating. As a child, I will openly admit I had a horrible oral hygiene routine. I'm not talking only brushing once or twice a day and skipping the floss... I'm talking I would brush maybe once a week. We had "swish and spit" at school (a weekly activity that all the children … [Read more...]

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Today was the first day I really felt the crisp chill of fall air... and it excited me! For some strange reason I get this overwhelming urge to bake and cook in the fall/winter. Maybe it's because I'd prefer staying warm inside, or maybe it's something about all the colors that's stirs my … [Read more...]
