We've had a truly amazing cold and flu season in my house. I have three young children and we've suffered only one stomach bug and a few runny noses. My daughter turned 1 this past winter and as the youngest she had a few ear infections, but my 3 and 4 year-old boys were pretty healthy. In fact, my 3 year-old didn't even miss any school this year! Until the last week of school. I don't even know how its possible to get a stomach bug this late in ...

Relieve your Migraine Symptoms with an Excedrin prize pack! (#giveaway) 2 winners
Ever since I started understanding what triggers my migraines, I have been able to minimize and somewhat avoid them. Until recently. Although I can control what I eat, there are changes that affect my migraines that are beyond my control, such as the weather. I noticed this past month my migraines have increased on the days the humidity was high. After not having a migraine for a few months, I really believed I was in the clear, but this month I ...
Let Colgate Total Give You A Clean Mouth! @ColgateSmile #cbias #HappyHealthySmiles
I've always been obsessed with my oral care routine. Your mouth is a communication tool and it shouldn't be tainted with discolored or dirty teeth. A clean mouth and clean teeth are important when making first impressions on people! When Colgate Total was first introduced to the market, I remember thinking my mouth had never felt cleaner. I was still living with my parents, and I told my dad that it was THE ONLY toothpaste I was able to use. ...
Take Care Of Your Eyes – You Will Have Them All Your Life!
I never realized how important was until a friend of mine ended up with a horrible eye infection, which lead to a corneal transplant and loss of vision in one eye. It all happened so quick, and made me realize something I already knew but took for granted: we only have one set of eyes, and we need to take care of them from a young age. This is when I decided that when I had kids, I would ensure their eyes were well protected from UV exposure ...
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 ...
Achieving A Perfect Smile With @Invisalign #INVStraightTalk
Disclosure: This is post was brought to you by Invisalign. All opinions are my own. When I was a teen, I remember many of my friends getting braces. I didn't need braces, although a dentist did suggest it at some point, but eventually, my teeth adjusted and I only have one tooth that is misplaced. It bothers me ALL the time. Because of it's location, it is very uncomfortable, but at this stage in my life, there is no way you will see me with a ...
Issues with Bedwetting? Check out #WhiteCloudSleepPants #ad
My preschooler was potty trained at 2 years old, and while it was pretty easy to get her potty trained once she was ready, I can't say that night time was just as easy. She slept in training pants for about 6 months, which is the point where she woke up dry every night and I was daring enough to leave her in underwear. Just recently, she started having accidents at night, which aren't frequent but enough to make me want to take precautionary ...
Get Ready For Summer With Nair Hair Removal! #NairSummer #sp
"Who wears short shorts...?" Remember those commercials? Well, your grandmother's Nair is still on the shelves of today's drugstore, but it is not the same formula! Nair has come a long way and has more varieties that cater to various body parts or skin types. They even have a men's formula! Being of European decent, I guess you can say I'm quite hairy. Nair has always been my summer go-to remedy for shaving because it can last longer than ...
