A few weeks ago, my dad had a bizarre request: he asked me to make a lasagna dish I've made in the past, along with some pumpkin pie. It's May. Making lasagna is no big deal, but a pumpkin pie? We just got rid of the winter, I'm not ready to conjure up all those "warm fuzzy holiday" feelings quite yet.. but I'll do it, just for dad. Besides, making a pumpkin pie is probably easier than making a lasagna, and finding the proper ingredients this ...

Take Care of Your Skin With @ElizabethArden #BlogMeetsBrand
A few weeks ago I had the awesome opportunity of attending the Blog Meets Brand event. At the event I received a mini makeover, courtesy of the girls over at Elizabeth Arden. I was also introduced to some Elizabeth Arden products I generally did not use, but was very interested to find out more about. I'm hitting the big 3-0 this year, and now is a better time than ever to start thinking about what my skin will look like as I age. Ugh, I can't ...

Make the Switch to Tree Hut products #NaturalBeauty
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tree Hut for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Did you know that I started my chemical free kick when I found out I was pregnant with my first baby? A co-worker had told me about the nasty chemicals in some of the popular children's bath products and this made me take a deeper look into everything I was using in my home. From food to cleaning products and everything in between, I ...
Netflix for Kids is Available Wherever You Go! #NetflixKids #ad
I use to make fun of my grandmother all the time when she would say, "leave me alone when I'm watching my shows" and would glue herself to the TV from 1-4pm during the weekdays. She had to watch her soaps everyday and find out who was plotting against who and which couple would enter a new hot and steamy love affair. Now, folks, making fun of grandma is NOT nice.. because you might spawn a little being that resembles her in so many ways, ...
