I rarely go shopping without a list. I've learned from my mistakes of forgetting to purchase what I set out for in the first place or spending way too much on items that I didn't really need. My hubby use to make fun of me when I would sit down in from of the computer and make a list before shopping, but those days are over! He understands the importance of being organized and shopping the sales! I find myself at Duane Reade A LOT! There ...

Keep them comfy – take their temperature with an Ear Thermometer!
When your little one is sick, the last thing you want to do is make them more uncomfortable. I learned this with my first baby during her first fever. She had Roseola, and if you don't know what that is, it is a common childhood disease in the chicken pox family that presents itself with a very high fever for a few days and then a rash throughout the body. She was never this sick before and frequent fever checks were a must! As I learned ...
Tell Me Your P&G Favorites and Win a P&G Prize Pack!
I never put much thought into brand loyalty until I got married and did the majority of household and personal shopping myself. There is not just one company or brand I like across the board, but I like many companies for specific things. Mascara, for example; I love CoverGirl. When it comes to cleaning my home, I swear by my Swiffer. My husband will never use another mousse, unless it is Herbal Essences. You can say that we are very familiar ...
Whiten Your Teeth At Home With Smile Brilliant! (#Giveaway)
I think it's safe to say that you know at least one person who is on the smile train. They strive to get the whitest smiles and always seem to have perfectly pearly whites. I can't complain - my teeth aren't horribly discolored - I don't drink soda, but I am a coffee drinker, so I do have a little staining. It's no biggie - no reason to get a professional whitening treatment, but enough to make me want a slightly whiter smile. I knew I could ...
When There’s Not Enough Hours in the Day #DRApp #Cbias
After I became a mother, my routine didn't DRASTICALLY change. Sure, I had to plan my outings around nap times, feeding times, and the dreaded witching hour, but other than that, I found it relatively easy to get up and go with my daughter. Throw another baby in the mix and my whole world has been shaken up. I'm managing a lot better than I thought I would, but planning our outings around TWO kids, tantrums, potty runs, and the like, it's almost ...
Check Out Olay Fresh Effect and Win a $25 Walmart Gift Card! (#giveaway)
When it comes to skin care, I tend to be very picky about what I put on my face. My skin is so sensitive and will break out, or become very dry and flaky. Olay is a skin care company that my mother used, and had introduced me to years ago when I needed a good makeup removed and facial cleanser. Since that time, I still use some Olay products and have been very happy with them. Just recently, Olay has added some new products to their skin care ...
Why I Use Probiotics (Provella #Giveaway 5 Winners!)
I can't believe it's been a decade since I overcame a horrible digestive illness. Some may have called it IBS, but it was an overall digestive issues that included my stomach, as well as my intestines. It lasted for about 3 years, and I was sick every.single.day. I had seen many specialists who ran a bunch of tests and couldn't find anything wrong with me. My symptoms: extreme nausea after eating ANYTHING. Most foods were hard to keep down, ...
FeverAll Acetaminophen Suppositories
As a new parent I found myself calling my pediatrician's office constantly for advice regarding everything from feeding to sleep to concerns about my baby's health. I think the nurse would see my number on her caller ID and wonder, “what's the question of day today??” Once my 2nd child was born I had a better handle on the answers to the multitude of questions that come up with small children at home. And by the time my 3rd came into this world, ...
