Easy Home Meals with the NFRA + Twitter Party on 6/27

Thank you to National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are my own.

Easy Home Meals is like music to my ears. Trying to make dinner in my house is typically a challenge. With a one year old begging to be picked up while a two and three year old run run around or wrestle each other, it ends up taking me twice as long to make even simple meals. I try to find easy meals as often as possible to help me in the kitchen.

Enjoying Story Time: The New ‘Peppa Pig and the Muddy Puddles’ Book

I received a sample of Peppa Pig products for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Story time can be a pretty big deal in my house. My boys want me to read to them throughout the whole day. I can’t complain about it. I just need to make sure we frequently add new books to our collection. The most recent book addition is a family favorite: Peppa Pig and the Muddy Puddles.

Sparkling Dishes and No More Pre-Washing with Cascade Platinum

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

A few weeks ago, I started using the new Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Pacs exclusively. I had high hopes that the new pacs could cure me of my pre-washing obsession and allow me to spend less time doing the dishes. After a few weeks, I couldn’t be more happy with my results.

It’s All About the Earrings + Blue Nile Leaf Chandelier Earrings Giveaway

Thank you to Blue Nile for sponsoring this post and fabulous giveaway. 

Who doesn’t like a little bling? Before I had three kids, I wore a lot of jewelry. I frequently sported clusters of bracelets, shiny rings, statement necklaces and fun earrings. Even when I went out in sweats, I would always have on a pair of earrings to match. Drop earrings is definitely my favorite piece of jewelry.

Bumbleberry Summer Sundae + Cascade Platinum

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

During the warm summer months, not only do we grill often, but I also enjoy making lots of summer desserts. Some of my favorites involve  lots of fruits and ice cream. When I saw Gail Simmons recipe for Bumbleberry Summer Sundae, I knew we had to try it.

How to be More Productive with Efficient Daily ‘To Do’ Lists

 

Too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Isn’t it always like that? It’s like, for every task I cross off my ‘To Do’ list, I add two more. It simply never ends. I’ve decided to accept the fact that I’ll never be ‘caught up’ but I am working daily to get there as close as possible. To do so, I am becoming more efficient with my tasks and ‘To Do’ lists.
