New Tunes for Back To School

New Tunes for Back To School

By   7:46:00 AM   No comments:

Send your high school and college students back to school with the newest Christian Rock album "The Medicine" from John Mark McMillan .

With comparisons ranging from Springsteen to Yorn, singer/songwriter John Mark McMillan’s music has been described as "gutsy, poetic rock 'n' roll.” The native North Carolinian draws from his Southern, “preader’s kid” roots to create spiritually-minded indie rock that is connecting with mainstream and Gospel music fans.

McMillan describes this project The Medicine) as "portraits of resurrection”

“More than anything, I think The Medicine explores the implications of resurrection in our everyday lives, even the dead places of our lives that need resurrecting,” he continues. “To his own hurt, Jesus, chose to be a part of our world. Why would we pretend that we don’t bring all our love, loss, and insecurity with us into the conversations we call ‘worship’? After all, we don’t serve a God who is unacquainted with grief. He is not surprised by or even unfamiliar with the darkness that can plague a human heart. In fact, he specializes at dealing with that sort of thing.”

The Wholesale Costume Club is the home of the guaranteed lowest Internet prices on Halloween costumes and we need your help to let the world!

Seruoisly at these prices we started looking at filling our dress up bin.

What would you do in Kissimmee?

What would you do in Kissimmee?

By   12:04:00 PM   No comments:

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Kissimmee Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.

We are a Disney family. I would go to Disneyland once a year if I could afford it. We have never been to Disney World though. I think it would be fun to visit Disney World once both of the kids are old enough. And while there we would be sure to check out Kissimmee! Just next door to the Magic Kingdom!

Located in the heart of Florida, Kissimmee sounds like my recent Mexico trip, just in the USA!
With great activities from zip lining, horse back riding, hot air balloon rides, carriage rides and ghost tracker tours, this definitely sounds like my kind of kid-friendly vacationing!

The beach is only about a hour away, just another great way to spend some quality family time. We love building sand castles, flying kits and swimming in the ocean!

Close to Kissimmee are theme parks such as, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando (with the new Harry Potter ride), Seaworld Orlando, and four different water parks!

I would LOVE to stay a Disney resort when we visit if possible. We have never stayed there but I am sure they are AMAZING!

Of course with shopping and many great restaurants near by I'm not sure if we would ever want to leave!

Visit http://bit.ly/a7PkBE  today and start planning your next vacation to Kissimmee, Florida!

John Morrell Introduces Allergen-Free Meats!

John Morrell Introduces Allergen-Free Meats!

By   9:24:00 AM   No comments:

We don't have any food allergies in our house but we also still have a young one who still may develop food allergens. Right now we prefer to buy the Hebrew National kosher hot dogs but our NEW favorite is the new John Morrell Allergen-Free Hot Dogs! With many households experiencing food allergies, it has become more stressful for some of us to find meals for everyone that won't cause a problem due to a common allergen such as dairy, nuts, wheat, or gluten. Past generations had less information and concern towards food allergies, but as modern parents we pay much more attention to what we feed our children. And while meat products don't necessarily trigger an alarm to look for possible allergen risks in the ingredients, many in fact do contain a hazard.


John Morrell, maker of great tasting hotdogs, smoked sausages, and bologna, now offers these products 100% "worry-free". Free from allergens of milk, nuts, egg, soy, wheat, gluten, and MSG, these John Morrell meats provide a great option whether you're having a barbecue or packing a lunch for the kids. John Morrell removed all the allergens from these meats without sacrificing the mouth-watering taste, and still offering them at a low price. They even went a step further by making their hot dogs, smoked sausages and bologna in a completely allergen-free facility. Knowing that these John Morrell meats will never cause an allergic reaction in my children allows me to cross off "label reading" on my already endless grocery store to-do list.


John Morrell will also launch a designated Facebook page to serve as a destination for allergen-free information. The site will feature regular coupons, contests, expert advice, recipes and nutritional information. The Facebook page will be offering daily "Free" and "$1 Off" coupons – cascading into even more coupon giveaways!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of John Morrell and received a free coupon for John Morrell products to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central also sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Road Trip Activities for Kids

Road Trip Activities for Kids

By   8:38:00 AM   No comments:

Taking a road trip is fun but long strechs in the car can sometimes be a challege for children.

The first rule in our house is the Nintendo DS is played only in the car. Before a road trip we try to get a new game for the kids to play as a surprise. Step-3 provide my family with a copy of the new Shrek Forever After Nintendo DS game. I surprised Little Man with it before we went camping on Memorial Day. Little Man thinks it is GREAT! And his 1-year old sister tries to play it too!

Return to Far Far Away in Activision Publishing, Inc.’s upcoming Shrek Forever After™ video game. Based on the final chapter in the Shrek® franchise from DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc., the game reunites fans with their favorite characters – Shrek, Fiona, Donkey and Puss In Boots.

Gamers will adventure through a variety of locations from the Shrek universe, solve challenging puzzles and battle exciting new enemies as they morph between Shrek’s normal world and his alternate reality…and ultimately conquer that crafty Rumpelstiltskin! The game offers a fun-filled social and collaborative experience with its co-operative multiplayer mode, allowing up to four players to work together through the single player story.

Shrek Forever After will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PC. The game is rated “E10+” (Cartoon Violence, Comic Mischief, Mild Lyrics) for all consoles and PC and “E” (Cartoon Violence) for the DS by the ESRB. Shrek Forever After is in development by XPEC for all consoles.

Another great way for kids to pass the time away in the car is digital books. We have TONS of them downloaded on my iPod Touch for Little Man. You can find many free books in the App Store. We recently were given the opportunity to review the new Shrek Forever After Movie Storybook app for iPhone and Android.

iStoryTime brings the adventures of Shrek to the convenience of your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch in this entertaining kid’s book application based on the DreamWorks Animation movie, Shrek Forever After. Welcome to iStoryTime, a library of narrated children’s books for the iPhone and iPad. iStoryTime books are illustrated and narrated, so your child can enjoy the book even when you’re busy. Best of all, the app is drop-dead simple to use because it’s actually designed for kids 2-years and up.

Glidden - Paint Your Way to Happy! #Get Color

Glidden - Paint Your Way to Happy! #Get Color

By   9:22:00 PM   No comments:

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Glidden. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love COLOR. And even more so when you get to chose it! One of my favorite stores is, yes I admit it, The Home Depot!

My favorite department in the whole store is the paint department. At least one wall in every room of our house is filled with color. Now I work for an interior design firm so I had some help choosing the right color scheme. But this also means when my husband asks me to bring some white paint home, I reply "What color white paint?" After all there are thousands of shades of white!

When I start a room I start at Glidden.com. Glidden has many user friendly tools on their site to help you choose just the right color for your project! They offer paint testers in EVERY color. Yes EVERY color not just a select few like MOST paint companies! They also have extra large paint chips and a ton of coordinating color ideas and pictures for your home!

One of my FAVORITE product from Glidden is their Ready-To-Go Paint Testers. This is very beneficial is you have children. Because I don't know about you but my walls can get scratched, scraped, colored on, and who else knows what! I found it is easier to paint over the black permanent marker my son decorated my office with than try to scrub it off with stinky rubbing alcohol! So another cool feature about the Ready-To-Go Paint Testers is you don't have to purchase an additional paint brush to test your color out! It comes with one attached to the lid! That is a great feature for a mom that seems to loose track of everything. And lastly my most favorite feature of all..small and easy to store! I cannot honestly tell you how many gallons of paint I have stored in my garage. Um let's say at LEAST a dozen, not to mention the 5 gallon buckets which realistically only have a half of paint left in them!

Glidden.com also offers a Room Painter feature on their website allowing you to visualize your color choice on your wall.

It is almost that time again…SUMMER! For many of my readers it already is summer for your children. So during the summer what do you do most? The first thing that comes to my mind is DRIVING. Yes that is correct. Between driving to and from work every day, dropping everyone off at day care and pick up, then onto the weekend road trips, trips to the park, friends houses, so on and so fourth.

How many times do you get lost, well I’m “pretty” good at following directions, and printing them out from the computer BUT I often don’t remember to bring them with me, or in some cases drop them down the side of the passenger seat and cannot reach them!

The average American spends over 100 hours a YEAR driving in their car! WOW!

Ok so let’s say I remember to print my directions, and don’t loose them down the side of the passenger seat. Now let’s talk about “Mom are we there yet?”

Followed by “I have to go potty!” GREAT! Now where is the nearest restroom?

NAVTEQ is the industry leading company that supplies maps and technology to most of the in-car navigation systems in the United States.

We have a Nanny? - Giveaway

We have a Nanny? - Giveaway

By   2:42:00 PM   6 comments:

With summer approaching we have been faced with the realization of again how much child care costs! Since Little Man has been in school we have not had to worry about child care for him. We are also very blessed to live right across the street from my aunt and uncle and their two teenage children who help with before and after school care with him.


So there it was. Again we were faced with trying to find affordable child care, in the same location, for a toddler and a school age child. We were also trying to do this without going bankrupt.

According to data from the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), an average of $8,150 per year ($679 a month), daycare costs for babies and toddlers in the United States range from $4,388 to $14,647 a year ($366 to $1,221 monthly). Now this is only for One child not the TWO we have.

So I went on the hunt. Starting with my local Child Care Resource and Referral agency which provides a list of all the licensed care centers in your area. The problem I was having was no one was able to take a school aged child and a toddler for a decent price and in the same school district.

I turned to Candi Wingate, President of Nannies4hire.com, a mother herself. Candi graciously granted me one month access to her two sites, http://www.nannies4hire.com/ and http://www.care4hire.com/.

I have found both of these sites equally useful for different reasons.

Nannies4hire.com allowed us to research, interview, and hire a nanny at a price that was in our range, in our school district, and even better yet, in our home. Surprisingly this did not blow our child care budget (my husband was VERY skeptical!).

First we filled out our family information and information about our position. Then we waited for nannies to contact us. Then I got antsy and started to contact them based on my “NannyMatch settings.” We received a great response. Initially I told them the hours and pay and a little about our family. From there I looked them up on Facebook. Yes moms one of our greatest research tools is Facebook! Next we set up an initial interview at the local Starbucks. Then we invited them to our home to meet our children.

And that was it! Our nanny, Michelle starts on July 1st! I am VERY excited!

A free preview of available nannies is available to families. Whether you are looking for full-time, part-time, temporary, summer, live-in or live-out nannies or elderly/companion care there are a variety of experience levels available. Once you are a registered member, you will have access to contact information and advanced search features. Helpful tools are available to registered families and nannies, including sample interview questions, a sample reference form and a sample contract.

Besides relationships with Dr. Phil, Supernanny and the Discovery Channel/TLC to name a few they have also teamed up with corporations to help find childcare for their employees. Thousands of families and nannies throughout the United States and Canada have joined Nannies4hire.com and their list continues to grow daily.

Care4hire.com takes a different approach to child care AND other care you may need! Care4hire.com offers searches for babysitters, house cleaners, tutors, elder care, pet sitters, and misc. care. This site is GREAT to have a date night out! And I found it especially useful for elder care. My grandmother cares for my grandfather and often needs help but can’t get state assistance. She did not know where to turn to? Care4hire.com is a great resource for her!

Tanya Peila and Care4hire.com are giving away a one month membership gift certificate.

Butt Paste!

By   8:54:00 AM   No comments:

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

So I am on my second child now. And with my first he would absolutely SCREAM when I used diaper rash ointment on him. I never wanted to use it. It was suppose to make him feel better not sting, which is what I am assuming it did! We literally had to hold him down to put it on him. Just as her was about to turn 1 someone told me about Boudreaux’s Butt Paste.
Only only does Boudreaux’s Butt Paste not have the "diaper rash cream" smell (you know what I'm talking about MOMS), but it does not bother either of my children. No having to hold them down to change their diapers, no tears, no screams. And honestly I LOVE the name!!

You can pick up Butt Paste at any local chain store or drug store. It comes in small tubes from 1 oz. packs up to a full sized 16 oz. jar!

Boudreaux’s Butt Paste has also been featured on Oprah, The Today Show, The Tonight Show and in magazines such as People.

I hope if you have not already tried Boudreaux’s Butt Paste that you will soon (no more smelly "diaper rash cream scents!). Here is a link to get a sample to get you started! http://www.blairex.com/BLButtPaste.php

My friends at My Blog Spark sent me a Delight Your Day gift pack with this new yummy treat. Let me say, it lasted exactly 1-hour, yes ONE HOUR in my house. My husband and son ate them ALL up.

The only down fall i found was the packaging was not all that great. The container fell out of the cardboard in my shopping cart. But HEY did not effect the taste!

So being the mom of a Kindergartner school lunches are a new things for us. Smuckers makes those "oops I forgot to pack you lunch" mornings SUPER easy and now even healthier!

In an effort to give Moms an "after school snack break," The J.M. Smucker Company will give away 80,000 Smucker's Uncrustables sandwiches, a wholesome after-school snack that provides the protein our kids need and the great homemade peanut butter and jelly taste they love. These thaw-and-serve sandwiches make for easy on-the-go snacks for an active family like mine. And now that Uncrustables are made with whole wheat bread, Moms can feel great about serving them. Starting September 28, parents can register for a free 4-pack box by logging on to www.uncrustables.com and sharing a helpful time-saving after-school organizational tip.
I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Smucker’s Uncrustables and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.
