Hillshire Farm New Commercial “Timer”

I wanted to share this new commercial from Hillshire Farm with you. They are going back to their farmhouse roots with a new commercial themed "Greatness is in the Details." The new ad shines a spotlight on what has long been a differentiator for Hillshire Farm Lunchmeat - quality, taste and craftsmanship. In the new ad titled “Timer,” you’ll see how the Hillshire Farm brand slow roasts its turkeys, and how every minute counts in creating delicious and great tasting cuts of lunch meat that make a Hillshire Farm sandwich stand apart. Watching this commercial makes me hungry! I love Hillshire Farm lunch meats and we usually get the Turkey as it's a favorite of my older daughter's.  It's nice...

Finding Nemo 3D In Theaters September 14th #DisneyInHomeBloggers

We are so excited because Finding Nemo 3D is in theaters tomorrow, September 14th.  We are probably going to see it this weekend, and I can't wait.  I think I'm more excited than the girls are.  LOL  Of course we've seen Finding Nemo many times but there is nothing like seeing it on the big screen.  And it wasn't until recently that my oldest decided she likes 3D movies so now she wants to see them all. My buddy Keri Lyn from She Saved was able to get a sneak peak of this on her trip to California last month and even though she saw it a million times as well, she said it was great to see it in 3D. Here is what she said..... "....when I attended the screening, I wasn’t expecting to be too...

Help the Boys & Girls Clubs of American and Disney Raise Money with the Tools for Back to School Quiz

Back to School is here and we are hurrying to get all our last-minute things. My youngest needs a new backpack, her first one actually and she wants a Zebra print one. We haven't had much luck finding on yet, but I know we will. We bought them a few new clothing items but for the most part they can still wear some of their summer dresses until the weather gets cooler. Have you been running around grabbing all your last-minute things this weekend? You aren't alone, I'm sure. Unfortunately not everyone can afford all that they need for the new school year. Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA) and Disney have partnered to launch the Tools for Back to School initiative. This initiative...

Back To School Shopping at Dollar General

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. It's amazing how much the kids need when they start school.   Even as little as grade school.  I do not remember needed all these supplies when I was in grade school and I don't think it's because it was a long time ago and I forgot.  I honestly don't think we had a school supply list, but the kids today do! We are starting at a new school this year so we haven't received a supply list yet but I'll be checking with them next week to see what my girls need before it starts because I don't want them walking in empty handed if they aren't supposed to be. And of course then it comes...

Haircut Coupon-A-Thon for Back To School

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Regis Family of Brands for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. You probably have a checklist of things to do before the kids head back to school... Clothes Shoes/Sneakers Underwear (lets face it we all need it) Backpack School Supplies And of course we can't forget about the new Haircut!  Everyone needs to look cool the first day of school and a messy head of hair isn't going to make the cut.   A new hair style or just a touch up will make everyone look fresh the first day of school.  All this stuff adds up quickly, especially if you have more than one child.  So anyway I can save, I save. I'm...

Couponing as a Part Time Job

If you are a one-income family, couponing can be like pulling in a second income with the money you’re saving.   When I first starting using coupons I felt like I had a part time job.  It took me about an hour - two hours a week to plan my shopping trips and then about another hour - two hours to go shopping (depending on how many stores I went to each time).  When I looked at my savings, I thought of it as an income.  Because after all my time is worth money, isn't it? If I put 3 hours into my planning and shopping and saved $40 between sales and coupons, then I made about $13 an hour!   And I probably used the equivalent of gas that I would use if I was driving to work each day. All the...

That is where Roadtrip-A-Matic comes in.  It does all the work for you!  It's pretty cool because it'll tell you where you'll stop each day on your road trip and even suggest a place to eat and...

Florida Orange Juice is Good for You in So Many Ways!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Florida Orange Juice for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Starting off the day with Orange Juice is good for you in so many ways - and it tastes good too.  I like my  Florida Orange Juice with no pulp as does my family so it makes buying it easier.  However I have enjoy fresh squeezed OJ in the past, with a little pulp.  Perhaps because it's fresh I don't mind it as much?  Either way having a glass of Orange Juice in the morning makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my body, which is a nice way to start the day! A key recommendation of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans is to...
