Stop by Savers for Halloween Decorations and Costumes

Stop by Savers for Halloween Decorations and Costumes

This post is Sponsored by Savers but my opinions are 100% my own! My girls start talking about Halloween months before it arrives.  They usually change their minds a few times about what they want to be, but this year they both knew right away what they wanted to be for Halloween.    82% of those who usually dress up plan ahead for their costumes and don’t just put something together that day—on average, these folks start preparing their costumes 75 days ahead of time. That’s more than two months! My oldest who is in 4th grade wants to be a nerd (not sure why, but I'll go with it) and my youngest who is in 2nd grade, wants to be Elsa, of course! I have a feeling we are going to have a...

30th Anniversary of Burt’s Bees Products

This post is Sponsored by Burt's Bees but my opinions are 100% my own! Burt's Bees is celebrating 30 years of protecting our skin.  I was surprised to hear they have been around that long because it wasn't until a few years ago that I started seeing their products and using them.   This is the time of year that I am shopping for things to help my skin from drying up and Burt's Bees is one product I've been using for a while. I have two main concerns when it comes to the effects the cold in New England have on my skin - my lips and my hands.   I'm a lip balm addict and so is my husband.  We use it all the time and even more in the winter.   So I was happy to see that Walmart has a really...

How to use Fabric Softener to get More Time in your Day!

This shop has been compensated by #CollectiveBias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FastDrySaveTime What would you say if I told you that you could get some extra time in your day by using a particular fabric softener?  I go to bed at least 5 out of 7 days wishing for more time in the day.  I just need a few days a week where I could find a few more hours to get everything done.   Do you feel the same way?  I bet most of you do! My goal each week is to make a list of things I need to do - some of them very minor and some very specific - and cross off as many of them as early in the week as I can.  So then by the weekend, I can breathe. How many weeks do you think this...

I...
