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.

Getting Back on Track with the Help of Green Mountain Coffee Iced Latte

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Whitewave Foods, makers of Green Mountain Coffee®. The opinions and text are all mine.

The last month has taken a toll on me. I have been busy and got behind on a lot of different things. I am working hard this week to turn that around and get things back on track. It’s the holiday season and I don’t have time to be unorganized or let the stress get to me. It’s time I sit down and work out a plan.

Quick Dinner Recipe – Knorr Pasta Sides with Fresh Produce

This Knorr Pasta & fresh produce dinner recipe is part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #WalmartProduce #cbias campaign. All opinions expressed are my own. 

In a perfect world, I would have time to cook a homemade dinner every evening for my family. I try my best by creating a meal plan each week to stay on track. But even then, some days fly by, leaving me with no time to make what was planned. That’s why I keep my pantry stocked for quick meals.

Organizing Baking Tools & Accessories with the BakeStack

I received YouCopia’s BakeStack as part of an Outburst Media campaign. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

Baking and organizing are two of my favorite things. However, I have never found a good way to organize all my baking tools and accessories. That is, until recently when I was introduced to the company YouCopia. Their products make organizing in the kitchen easily manageable.

Lemon Pepper Pasta with Shrimp – Quick Dinner Recipe

This Lemon Pepper Pasta with Shrimp quick dinner recipe is part of a sponsored post for a Collective Bias® #SauteExpress campaign. All opinions expressed are my own. 

Making dinner every day is important to me. It gives us, as a family, a reason to sit down and spend time together over a great meal. When days are busy and I start running out of time to prepare a meal, it is great to have some quick meal options.

I received the mentioned supplemental learning products to review. All opinions are my own.

Starting my in-home preschool has been an overwhelming experience. I have been trying to use my creative side to come up with activities and projects, but I also still need materials to help. I have been trying to find products and activities that cover numerous areas of development.
