Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries, Review & Giveaway

2012-05-30T20:39:00.000-04:00

My regular readers know I love my technology, but one thing I haven't really mentioned is my loathing of batteries. It seems like I am constantly forking over an arm and a leg at the store for batteries. I normally by name brand because they really do seem to last longer than the store brand (could be just me though), either way it makes me cringe when I have to buy them. In the past I have

PB Crave Review & Giveaway

2012-05-29T21:02:00.001-04:00

Peanut Butter was pretty much a standard when I was growing up and I admit to still loving it as an adult. The thing is though, sometimes peanut butter gets boring when it's all by itself. Curt Reiss thought so too and after avoiding it for years one day he tried a combo of raspberries, peanut butter and chocolate. A light bulb went off in his head and it wasn't long before he created four

Xperience Days Giveaway

2012-05-23T15:31:00.000-04:00

Fathers Day is coming up in four short weeks. If you are anything like me, buying a gift for you father is about as much fun as a trip to the dentist. My dad has every tool he could ever need, the only things he hasn't bought for himself are expensive things I couldn't afford without robbing a bank. So the poor guy usually ends up with some new TShirts. Any of that sound familiar too you? If

These bagels are made with 7 different

The Complete Idiots Guide to Couponing Review & Giveaway

2012-05-20T18:32:00.000-04:00

I started couponing last year for several reasons. 1) I saw all those Extreme Couponers on TV and thought, "I can do that" 2) I got super tired of getting into my shower and finding my shampoo was missing because my husband ran out and swiped it for his shower and 3) Who doesn't want to save money? I really, really wish that I had had The Complete Idiot's Guide to Couponing when I first

Dropps Fabric Softener Pacs Review & Giveaway

2012-05-12T10:33:00.000-04:00

Have you heard of dropps, the pre-measured toss in laundry detergent pacs? If not you can read the review I did on them last year here. Most recently dropps has come out with a totally revolutionary and unique product (at least as far as I know), a drop in laundry softener pac!

Plus Size Lingerie Boutique Review

2012-05-12T10:13:00.000-04:00

Calling all ladies! Just cuz we might be considered plus size doesn't mean we don't like to feel sexy, am I right? Of course I am, I am always right (just ask my husband--or maybe not). I discovered Plus Size Lingerie Boutique and I did what any good blogger does, I looked for their "about us" section. I like to know what makes a company tick, how they came about or even what their mission

Happy Napper Review

2012-05-09T21:10:00.001-04:00

Converts from doghouse to dog! Recently I had the opportunity to review a Happy Napper. Since my sister leaves her kids at my house quite regularly I jumped at the chance. My nieces are 12 and 2 and both love dogs so it was a no brainer to ask to review the Doghouse to Dog Happy Napper. Happy Nappers are a super soft plush pillow that convert to fun and adorable stuffed animal. They are

Mom Would Love EdenFantasys Too

2012-05-08T22:33:00.002-04:00

You might be thinking Edenfantasys for Mothers Day? Isn't that a store that sells sex toys? You would be right. EdenFantasys.com does sell high quality sex toys but that isn't all they sell. They have so, SO much more! Don't worry, I'll point you in the right direction! Moms need "me" time, whether they have kiddos in the house or the kids are grown with kids of their own. If your mom isn't

Body Media Review

2012-05-06T19:58:00.000-04:00

It is no secret that I have been trying (and mostly succeeding) to lose weight over that last year. I've done it before, but always with crazy diets. Sure you can get results drinking a shake twice a day, but a) you miss chewing food like you wouldn't believe and b) that really doesn't set you up to keep the weight off. Eventually you have to start eating again! This time around I am not on a

The Interent Amuses Me

2012-05-02T20:50:00.000-04:00

So usually in the mornings I take my breakfast to work with me and pray they are all smart enough to stay the heck away from me for at least a half hour minimum. I eat my weight watcher bagel and ingest caffeine and read the headlines on the internet. Today a couple caught my eye and made go HUH? Then when I clicked and looked at the pictures I knew it was too much to keep these gems to myself!

COOL WHIP: Everyday Desserts, What You Add Makes It #coolwhipmoms

2012-04-25T21:08:00.000-04:00

I consider myself to be a pretty darn good cook, and really enjoy making food for people. I enjoy when others enjoy what I have created. Unfortunately I am not a recipe follower-- I learn to cook something once then tend to just do my own thing. This does not translate into a great baker. My holiday cookies are dismal for the most part. Apparently when baking, you need to follow the recipe
