Let’s Party: #HappyHealthySmiles Twitter Party May 30

#CP_Total_Regimen_Group_600px_Tall

As I get older, I realize more and more the importance of oral hygiene.  While I might not be able to turn back the clock and change some of the bad habits from my past, I can certainly do something about it now.  Removing stains and plaque germs are my number one priority when choosing oral health care products and that is why my husband and I choose Colgate Total® Advanced products in our … [Read more...]

Introducing the New Gevalia Single Serve Cups #CupOfKaffe

Coffee Drinker

I am sure I have mentioned that I am a little bit of a coffee snob!  I have been drinking coffee longer than I care to admit.  In fact, it is one of my vices that I never will give up.  I truly enjoy drinking a cup a day (or more).  Being the coffee snob that I am, I have been familiar with Gevalia rich never bitter coffee.  My mom used to subscribe to the Gevalia Kaffe automatic delivery … [Read more...]

ID Rice Krispy Treats

 I am not as big of a dessert fan as my son or my husband, but I love a little sweet treat every once in a while.  One of my favorite treats is Rice Crispy Treats.  They are light, yet filling and they leave me feeling satisfied.  When Tapinfluence and International Delight asked me to write a post about my favorite ID creamer, I knew right away that I wanted to incorporate rice crispy … [Read more...]

Johnson & Johnson For All You Love Campaign #ForAllYouLove

This post is sponsored by Johnson & Johnson and The Motherhood. All opinions are mine.

I never knew what unconditional love was until I gave birth to my children.  Someone once told me that being a mom was like having a part of your heart running around all over the place.  I didn't really understand what they meant until I had a child of my own.  Like all parents, I would do absolutely anything for my child.  From the sleepless nights, to the diaper changes, to the large amount … [Read more...]

Child Hunger Ends Here with ConAgra Foods and You

IMG_1175

I absolutely love my job as a first grade teacher.  I feel so honored to be able to do what I do for a living.  But, just like with any career, there are things that are very hard to deal with.  One of those things is seeing a hungry child.  Unfortunately, I am not the only one who sees these children.  Nearly 1 in 5 children in the United States may not know where their next meal is going to … [Read more...]


Springtime Fun with Tyson Chicken Nuggets #SpringtimeNuggets

Spring Turtle

Spring is finally here!  We have been enjoying the nice weather outside.  My son is having a great time exploring all the new insects and creatures that spring brings with it.  Lately he has been very curious about worms and how they are "the good guys" and we shouldn't step on them when it rains.  What a curious little mind he has. He also has been all about playing baseball in the front yard … [Read more...]
