Enjoying Grove Square & Caza Trail Single Serve Hot Beverages + Flash Giveaway

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Sturm Foods, Inc. I received a promotional item and product samples as a thank you for participating

We all know I may be slightly addicted to coffee. It need it daily. It helps get me started each day, keeps me going through the afternoon, and sometimes keeps me up to make it through late nights.

This DIY gift idea is part of a #HalosFun campaign sponsored by Halos. All opinions expressed are my own. 

Giving gifts throughout the year can be fun and rewarding. No matter how small or large it is, a thoughtful one can go a long way.

Santa’s Secret Deal – A Children’s Book Teaching Toy Appreciation + Flash Giveaway

I received the book ‘Santa’s Secret Deal’ to review and share with my kids. All opinions expressed are my own. 

I don’t think we will ever have too many children’s books. There are loaded bookshelves in each of the boys’ rooms, plus a stack downstairs. There are many lessons and skills taught through reading books and my sons soak up all that information daily. I always found a good excuse for new books, including the holidays.

Battling Cough, Cold, & Flu Season with 3 Kids + a DIY Kleenex Box Train Craft

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Kleenex but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #KleenexTarget  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO

When someone gets sick on our house, a one-day virus can easily turn into a few week ordeal. It doesn’t take much for my 2, 3, and 4 year old to pass around the sickness like a ping pong ball. No matter how much I try to prevent it, every year it happens. We have to find ways to stay busy indoors during these times, and crafts are always a hit.

Indulge Yourself to Help Manage the Holiday Season Stress

This post about managing holiday stress and Walgreens holiday solutions is part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #HappyAllTheWay #cbias campaign. All opinions expressed are my own.

Every day, normal days, are chaotic and are accompanied with long ‘to-do’ lists. Then comes December, where the lists triple in length and there seems to be no time sleep or finish everything. For me, it gets stressful and sometimes I just have to remind myself the take a break and indulge in some premium snacks.

Holiday Baking – Dark Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies

This holiday baking recipe is part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #HolidayButter #cbias campaign. All opinions expressed are my own.

Baking delectable treats is a huge part of the holiday season. They are an important part of dinner parties, gatherings, and as gifts. If there is one thing I learned about gift giving, it’s that I can rarely go wrong with delicious treats.

Best Buy #BBHoliday13

Each year during the holidays, I know I will be buying at least a few gifts from Best Buy. Not only is it basically the only place my husband will shop for his technology needs, but he always has a list of things he wants. While I’ll be finding the perfect gift(s) for him, I can also pick up things for my sons and others in my list. Best Buy’s has an amazing assortment of products with more choices, more savings, and more gifts. There are even over 100 featured items this holiday season exclusively at Best Buy.

I am a fan of shopping online, but I love the experience of shopping in-store at Best Buy. There are always knowledgeable employees to assist with questions and help with deciding which product would be perfect for my needs. They offer the ultimate showroom to touch, test, try, and the latest technology, which is great when you are unfamiliar with a product, brand, or looking for something new. With technology rapidly evolving and becoming increasingly complex, the in-store benefits and on-site help is necessary.
