This post is Sponsored by Winning Moves but my opinions are 100% my own! We are all about playing games here and now that it is summertime, we are in the pool most days.  But sometimes jumping in the pool can get boring (no not really but bear with me).  So adding fun things to do in the pool always makes a happier environment right? I have some pool 'toys' that are pretty non-traditional and I think you are going to like them - at least I hope so!   Do you like to play card games?  Do your kids like to play card games?  If you answered yes to either one of those questions and you have a pool (big or small doesn't matter) then what would you say if I said they made cards that you can use...

This post is Sponsored by Softsoap but my opinions are 100% my own! There is a NEW line of Softsoap in stores right now and I love them!  The new Softsoap premium liquid hand soap line, the Décor Collection, comes in three enticing scents, Peony & Plum, Orchid Petals & Mint Water, and Wild Basil & Lime. They cost $2.49 a bottle but when you indulge in this purchase you are allowing yourself to take in the scents of summer while expressing your own personal style at home. We tried all 3 scents and while I love them all, the Wild Basil & Lime is my favorite.  It smells amazing and fresh and so good, that I have a hard time believing it's Softsoap.  The girls think they are...

This post is Sponsored by Gildan but my opinions are 100% my own! Just like the weather, most people talk about "spring cleaning," but few do much about it.  Gildan, the world's largest manufacturer of t-shirts, encourages women (and everyone else, for that matter) to do a little spring cleaning — starting with their underwear drawer.  Yes, it's the season to change your underwear. It's time to throw out the old, threadbare, discolored or uncomfortable panties and t-shirts and start fresh with Gildan's new women's brand, now available at major department stores and retailers nationwide.  Rid your drawers of old drawers and step into soft 100% cotton hipster, hi-cut, low-rise or bikini...

This post is Sponsored by Lysol but my opinions are 100% my own! If you are a mom then you know that Bathroom time can be an escape for you.   Chances are you use your cell phone or tablet while sitting on the porcelain throne, right?  -If so you are not alone. A new survey [1] found that more than one-third of Americans admit to regularly using a digital device while in the loo.  This number grows significantly when you’re a mom, with nearly 60 percent parents opting to reading on their digital devices while in the bathroom (only about 25 percent of people without kids do). So then you probably want to keep your toilet as clean as you can. The Lysol No Mess Max Automatic Toilet Bowl...

This post is Sponsored by Madecasse but my opinions are 100% my own! I love chocolate.  I mean really who doesn't?!  I recently tried a new chocolate from Madécasse – a maker of high-quality, bean-to-bar chocolate and vanilla products grown and made entirely in Madagascar.  They sent me their new Salted Almond chocolate bar which is  now available at Whole Foods nationwide. About Madecasse Madécasse started with a mission to improve economic opportunities for impoverished farmers and villagers in the region. Today, it is the only company producing bean-to-bar chocolate and vanilla products that are grown, harvested and hand-wrapped entirely in Madagascar. Chocolate lovers now have another...

This post is Sponsored by Heluva Good but my opinions are 100% my own! We entertain a lot in the summertime.  We start in the spring and just about every weekend we have some neighbors or friends over.  We have pool which we all love using so we are more than happy to enjoy our weekends (and week days for the mom's and the kids) by the pool.  And I am SO READY for school to be over and summer to begin. One thing we like to have when we have guests over, is lots of things to snack on.  And my kids love to not only snack, but dip!  Wheather its chips, crackers or veggies, when they have something to dip it in, it makes it that much better!  Are you ready to dip into an out-of-this-world...

This post is Sponsored by Nonni's THINaddictives but my opinions are 100% my own! I love to snack and so does my family.  But when I snack I want something either crunchy or sweet that I can have with a cup of coffee.  With Nonni's THINaddictives I can have both of those!  I was already a fan of the Cinnamon Raisin and Pistachio but now I have more to add to my list. Nonni’s, creator of the number one selling biscotti, recently introduced THINaddictives in Banana Dark Chocolate and Blueberry Oat to grocery stores nationwide.
