Spring Cleaning with Fellowes Bankers Box Stackable Storages Giveaway

*As a Fellowes Bankers Box Ambassador, I received a prize pack in order to provide an honest opinion.

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, I have finally been in the mood to do some deep spring cleaning. Call me crazy, but I love deep cleaning and I really love organization and order. With that being said, I am embarrassed to admit my lack of organization in some areas in my house. We moved in over a year ago and there are still a few areas that need a lot of attention.

With the help of Fellowes Bankers Box Stackable Storage, I am targeting these areas over the next week or so.

Steps with Walgreens – Earning Rewards for Healthy Lifestyle Choices

My youngest son just turned one in January. After having three children extremely close together, for the first time in years I have finally felt a surge of motivation. I am ready to get in shape again and my interest in health and fitness products and programs has spiked. My ‘go-to’ retailer to purchase wellness products has always been Walgreens. Not only do they have a large select of products, they also have a Balance Rewards Program to maximize savings. I have been a member of the program since they started it and have been able to redeem rewards points numerous times and currently have over $5 worth of points in my account.

DOLE Fruit Parfaits – A Smooth Refreshing Family Snack

I am guilty of skipping breakfast or lunch some days. Normally, I am frantically making my kids meals and while they are eating, I take that time to switch the dishes out of the dishwasher and clean up the kitchen. Then, within an hour or two, my stomach expresses it’s dissatisfaction with my poor eating habits and I just grab a quick little snack. That snack isn’t always a healthy choice. As I have been trying to change my eating my eating habits and decrease my junk food intake, I find myself trying to find a sweet taste with less of the guilt.

Lately, I have been trying to focus more on my health. I have been trying to eat better, take vitamins, and workout. Every time I start to do some research and read about different products, I just get overwhelmed. There are a lot of different vitamins, fitness programs, and products that promote a healthy lifestyle out on the market. When something comes around to help assist me in discovering new products, I can’t pass it up. When I learned about Bulu Box, I couldn’t wait to see what it was all about.

How to Upcycle a Starbucks Coffee Bag into a Bracelet #DeliciousPairings

Coffee has always been one of my favorite beverages. Not a day goes by where I don’t enjoy at least one cup. When I think of coffee, I always think of Starbucks. If I am out running errands, I cannot resist driving through a Starbucks drive-thru for a fresh cup of deliciousness. When it comes to drinking coffee at home, I still can depend on Starbucks to get me through the day.

Winding Down with College Hoops and Kettle Chips + $1 off Coupon #KettleMadness

The month of March brings a lot of great things around my house. My husband gets a year older, spring begins, barbecues start back up and college basketball tournaments are always on. We like to host gatherings at our house almost weekly to watch games, barbecue, snack, play cards and relax. Sometimes our gatherings aren’t planned and end up being last minute with people showing up at the house with little notice. For that reason, I always keep easy snack foods in stock, especially chips.

Why I #LuvSoFab and Want to Go to #SoFabCon with #cbias

sofabcon

When I first started Nifty Mom a couple years ago, I initially just wanted to share great deals and coupons. Then, I started to meet fellow bloggers, networking, and getting more involved in the blogosphere. Last year, with three kids under three, it was getting more and more difficult to constantly post deals and coupons throughout the day, so I s-l-o-w-l-y started to do more reviews, recipes, activities and other non-coupon posts. My goal was to become more of a lifestyle blogger and put the ‘nifty’ more into my site. Then in September, a fellow blogger posted in a Facebook group that Social Fabric was open for new members. Since I have only heard good things about them, I figured it couldn’t hurt to apply. To my surprise, I got accepted and was welcomed with arms wide open.
