This post is Sponsored by Good Cook but my opinions are 100% my own! As you know, I've been following the Nutrisystem program for almost 2 months now and I'm eating a lot of fruits and veggies so my fridge is always stocked well.

As part of the Good Cook Kitchen Expert program, I received a box of Good Cook Produce Keepers to try out. These containers won't magically make your veggies and fruits last longer, but their life may be increased a bit more over a plastic bag! Included in the box was a Citrus Keeper, Banana...

Amdro PowerFlex Pest & Weed Killer Review & $50 American Express Gift Card Giveaway (ends 6/17)
This post is Sponsored by AMDRO but my opinions are 100% my own! I hate bugs, in the house and outside. One thing I like about winter is that a lot of them disappear during the cold months. But the minute the ground starts to warm up, they are back. The only time I'm brave when it comes to bugs is when my kids are around because I don't want them to hate them like I do. So I put on a brave face and tell them "oh it's just a bug, you are bigger than it" when really inside I'm thinking "OMG it's gonna eat me!". I know silly but I just don't like them. It's nice out now so we are outside more, with the bugs of course. I don't enjoy walking around barefoot in the grass because it could...
