Halls Intense Cool with Extra Strong Menthol Flavor Review (Giveaway ends 12/23)

Halls Intense Cool with Extra Strong Menthol Flavor Review (Giveaway ends 12/23)

This post is Sponsored by Halls but my opinions are 100% my own! It is cough and cold season along with the Flu as well.  We found this out during our recent trip to Disney World where we picked up some germs that slowly went through my family.  Thankfully most of us were sick the day we left and then throughout the week after.  One at a time, except for my mother (who traveled with us) and my husband.  Not only is it a bad season for illnesses in the air, but to make matters worse, 56 % of people with a cough or cold are still working out at the gym, riding public transportation and shaking hands.   Which is how we got sick!   According to a new survey from HALLS, Americans are out and...

Johnson & Johnson Care To Recycle Program and Giveaway (ends 12/23)

  This post is Sponsored by Johnson's but my opinions are 100% my own! We recycle a lot!  As a matter of fact, since we moved into this house, we recycle even more.  In our old house we always ran out of room for recyclables in our bins.  They were small and falling a part.  I guess we could have asked for new ones and perhaps even bigger ones but I never took the time to look into it.  When we moved to our current house, we had two huge barrels for recyclables.  They used to have to separate cardboard from the rest in my town, but not anymore.  So we can mix all our recyclables into the two big bins each week.  So needless to say, I wanted to recycle as much as I could since we had...

Conquer the Holidays with Try it & Love it from P&G and Giveaway (ends 12/16)

This post is Sponsored by P&G but my opinions are 100% my own! We are a family of P&G users and we have been for years.   My husband and I grew up using some of the brands we still use today.  It's crazy how we keep going back to the same products over and over again.  We have our favorites that's for sure,  and we have reasons for why they are our favorites - they work and they make our lives easier.  That's what P&G wants from their products.   How do I know this?  Because they say it over and over again, they want to make our lives easier.  Read the stuff I share and watch their commercials and you'll see it's always the same message - help us in our busy lives.

This post is Sponsored by Vlasic but my opinions are 100% my own! Football season is in full swing and lots of tailgating parties, right?  My husband and his family are BIG football fans, me.... not so much! But I love parties so if you put football with a party.... I'm all game! We love having our neighbors over so when Vlasic asked me to host a tailgating party and sent me a really fun kit to do it with, I was all for it.    And our friends are always up for a blog party!  So I invited a few over and planned my menu.  Of course Farmer's Garden by Vlasic would be included because I always have pickles out for a party.  I grew up with Vlasic pickles and always have some in my fridge. We...

WaterSavers Cold Weather Survival Kit Giveaway (ends 12/16)

  This post is sponsored by the International Carwash Association but my opinions are 100% my own! Is it cold where you live?  It is here!  And it seems like it happened really fast.  Perhaps I may think it's colder than it is because I hate the cold, but I live in New England so I should be used to it by now.    We've prepared our house for the cold - all the air conditioners are out of the windows, the yard has been cleaned up and all the outdoor items are snug in the shed.  Oh and I even thought to dig out the shovel and put it in front first this year.  Last year we had to buy a 2nd one because we couldn't find it when we needed it.  Now we have two and they are both easily accessible!...

This post is Sponsored by Entertainment Book but my opinions are 100% my own! I love my Entertainment Book and I was very happy with my 2014 book arrived last week.  We were planning on taking the girls to see FROZEN over their holiday break and this book would be put to immediate use with the discount movie tickets inside!  Instead of paying $13 for each adult ticket, we paid only $8.50 each for a savings of $9.00.  We also used another coupon to get a FREE Large Popcorn (BOGO Large Popcorn) for a savings of $8.50.  Even though we spent quite a bit for the 4 of us to go to the movies, we were able to save $17.50 with two coupons from the Entertainment Book.   And that was only ONE trip to...

The Energizer Bunny Turns 25 and a Giveaway! (ends 12/13)

The Energizer Bunny Turns 25 and a Giveaway! (ends 12/13)

  This post is Sponsored by Energizer but my opinions are 100% my own! I can't believe it but it has been 25 years since America’s favorite unstoppable icon, the Energizer Bunny, drummed his way in to consumers’ hearts and homes.  Sadly I'm old enough to remember all 25 of those years and I remember seeing him on commercials.  Actually, he's what I identify Energizer batteries with, and only him.  I'm sure a lot of you can agree with me on that. Age has not slowed the Energizer Bunny down one bit.  Rather, it has motivated and expanded his personal mantra to that’s positivenergy™ - a commitment to designing products with people in mind and investing in programs that have a positive impact...
