Colgate Kids Smile for Picture Day Giveaway (ends 8/26)
This post is Sponsored by Colgate but my opinions are 100% my own! Part of the Back To School excitement is picture day. I love picture day and so do my girls! But at the same time I'm nervous because I never know what we'll get since both of them are known for not smiling, or smiling funny. My oldest daughter had this really weird look on her face for her Kindergarten picture. Her eyes were open wide as if she was trying to smile but tried too hard. I laughed so hard when I saw it! But as a mother I learned pretty quickly that you never know what you'll get from kids! Beginning September 2013, Colgate Bright Smiles, Bright Futures® will launch Smile for Picture Day™ – a new...

This post is Sponsored by Sara Lee but my opinions are 100% my own! Oh how I love little pastries. And I was very sad when a company (who will rename nameless) went out of business.

MyAllergyTest the First & Only At-Home Allergy Test Product Review & Giveaway (ends 8/19)
This post is Sponsored by MyAllergyTest but my opinions are 100% my own! I had terrible seasonal allergies as a child and even through high school. I eventually grew out of them, I guess? I am not sure if that’s really what happens but as I went through college I didn’t suffer from them much anymore. Until this summer. We moved last year and now we live in the city and in a neighborhood surround by neighbors and yards and lots of green and colorful ‘stuff’. I love it and it’s all beautiful. But when everything was in bloom earlier this spring boy did I suffer! It’s seriously been YEARS since I’ve dealt with allergies and it wasn’t fun. I’m guessing it’s because we moved into a...
National Eye Exam Month | Sears Back To School Optical Sale
This post is Sponsored by Sears Optical but my opinions are 100% my own! The back to school season is upon us and some kids have already begun the new school year in some parts of the country. We still have a few weeks to go but we are getting ready. One thing we always did when I was a kid was get our eyes checked before school started. Both my brother and I wore glasses so it was a good time to get a new prescription, if needed. My youngest doesn’t seem to have any vision problems but she is going into the 1st grade which means she’s finally in school all day long. If we were going to notice a problem, this year would be it so before school starts we are bringing both of them to...
Care Bears: A Belly Badge for Wonderheart DVD Review & Giveaway (ends 8/19)
This post is Sponsored by Lionsgate Home Entertainment but my opinions are 100% my own! I grew up with the Care Bears and I love that my kids are too. We have several of the little bears scattered though out our house as my kids love stuffed animals and hate to part with them. But the Care Bears are just so colorful and each of them has a special message that teaches children as well, so they are definitely my favorite. I love anything that promotes learning through play and I feel that’s the message of the Care Bears as well. All of their books and movies are teaching my kids something, and the kids have no idea. They are just enjoying the entertainment of it! If you are a parent...
KRE-O CityVille Invasion Police Station Zombie Defense Building Set Giveaway (ends 8/19)
This post is Sponsored by Hasbro but my opinions are 100% my own! I may have girls and not boys but they love building things. This makes my husband happy because he can only do enough with dolls and play food. He loves building things as well and each year after Christmas he usually spends hours with them, building play sets that they receive as gifts. We’ve enjoy KRO-O Construction sets but this is way beyond brilliant of them and just opens the door to so much more playing time. I love when kids play and whenever they tell me they are bored I give them the speech about how they have so many things to just go and play! We’ll they have been playing since we received the KRE-O CityVille...
Teen Beach Movie DVD Review & Giveaway (ends 8/12)
This post is Sponsored by Disney but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls counted down the days for this movie to be on.... and they've watched it so many times since, that they know certain parts by heart! And of course they know all the songs. My little one had no idea how to use the DVD player until we got this. Now all of a sudden she can figure it out by herself. I've come down almost each morning and she has it on, AGAIN. I can't say I blame her. It's a cute movie and the songs are fun and catchy. I find myself singing them as well when they aren't around. I have always loved musicals and especially ones where they just start singing in the middle of a scene. My favorite...
