If you like Splenda and want to join in on fun chat, ideas, and prizes, then mark your calendars for Thursday April 24, 2014 at 12pm ET.

A different take on the Easter Basket
One thing I looked forward to each Easter was making my own Easter basket full of goodies with my mom. Since Greek Easter typically falls after Easter season, we would get our basket supplies for 50 and even 75% off when everything was on sale. My mom allowed me to fill my basket with whatever I wanted: Candy, chocolate, and that annoying basket grass that gets everywhere. Once I had kids, I decided to do away with the candy, grass, and even the ...
Our Potty Training Journey Update #CelebrateFirstFlush #Sponsored #MC
We started our potty training journey with my almost two year old a few months ago. She was showing me many signs of being ready and initiated potty training on her own. I thought since she showed much interest, potty training was going to be a breeze. What I didn't realize was that shortly after being diaper free for nearly 3 days, she would start regressing after she got sick. With her temperature reaching 104, she was no longer interested in ...
A Movie Night Featuring Brancott Estate Flight Song Wine
Many of my mom friends always complained that they never get enough time with their friends. After becoming a mom, I finally understood and after my second child I made it a point to get out more. Don't get me wrong, motherhood is wonderful and something I looked forward to since I was a kid. I do, however, see how easy it is to get lost in the humdrum of routine, diapers, and goldfish crackers. It doesn't have to be like this! Taking time out ...
Enter to Win $140 Worth of Roc Skincare Products! #Eyes4NYC #ad #CBias #Giveaway
A few months ago I attended an event which had skin care experts. I had a skin evaluation done and I hear mention of the terms wrinkles, fine lines, and extremely dry skin. Now, I know my skin can get horribly dry over the winter, but crows feet? Wrinkles? Really!? 30 is not feeling so fun after all. The lady suggested I check out some products that contained Retinol. The very next day I headed to my local Duane Reade and went down the skin care ...
Honeywell Wifi Smart Thermostat Review and #Giveaway!
Not only are homes becoming more energy efficient, but they are also becoming more technologically advanced. Smart televisions, wireless speakers, and digital thermostats all have Wifi options and make life just a little easier. When my hubby and I bought our first home a few months ago, we knew that we would want a thermostat that we could connect to using an app on our phone. After doing a lot of research, we came across Honeywell products. It ...
Check out the new @Logitech Harmony Keyboard for Smart TVs at @BestBuy #HarmonySmartKeyboard
After my hubby and I purchased our first home a few months ago, we also needed to purchase new appliances, video consoles, and two televisions. I didn't know what a Smart TV was when we purchased it. To be completely honest, we purchased our television from a clearance sale and it was the right price. The reality of all the bells and whistles it came along with didn't phase me until the TV was set up and I had access to so much more than I had on ...
Week 2 Weigh In with Nutrisystem #NSNation #sponsored
After the Fast 5 portion of the plan, Nutrisystem changes the calorie count to a higher number (1,800 per day under my plan). The reason for this is to keep you at a number that will allow you to sustain the weight loss over a longer period of time. The key to losing weight is to burn more calories than you take in, so each Nutrisystem plan is set up to do this (different plans within Nutrisystem use different numbers). After ...
