If you’re in need of personalized gifts, where do you shop for them? I’ll tell you where I go – CafePress. It’s the first place that pops into my mind and their vast array of products is virtually unparralelled. I’ve reviewed CafePress before, which you can read here. In addition to that, I’ve made seval purchases with them over the years, and with that said, when I was recently given the chance to do a second review for CafePress, I jumped at it. I’m pretty sure that everyone knows by now how much I love personalized, well – anything.
The first item I got was this Personalized Tote Bag:

For decades Energizer has supported organizations helping to make a positive impact in local communities and around the world. This spring as part of the Energizer campaign—that’s positivenergy—they’re “building” on that commitment in a new way through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity®.

Energizer not only wants to help Habitat for Humanity®, they want to help you with your utility bills, too! Continue reading »

Anyone who knows me, knows that I like to keep things around my house organized. Everything has a place and if it’s not in its place, I start to feel out of sorts. Whenever a new product that’s going to make my life a little easier and help keep my home organized – I’m all over it! When I heard about Rubbermaid’s new 2-in-1 Recycler, I was pretty excited.

When Stonyfield recently contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their new YoKids Greek Yogurt, my answer was a very enthusiastic yes! My kids and I love yogurt!

I love my Keurig. I truly do. I use it every single day to make my morning coffee and sometimes I’ve been known to make several cups in one day. But did you know that the Keurig can also brew the perfect cup of tea? I grew up drinking tea and the top two brands that come to my mind when I think of teas are Bigelow and Celestial Seasonings. Thanks to my Keurig ambassadorship, I recently received a variety of Bigelow® and Celestial Seasonings® teas in K-Cup® portion packs to try out for myself.

I am one of those people who doesn’t necessarily have to wear a watch every day, but sometimes I like to wear one to change my look up a bit. I remember years ago (I’m talking when I was a teenager here), my mother had gotten me a set of interchangeable watches for Christmas and I just loved them. Somewhere along the lines, I lost them, but I recently found out about a company called J3LL, who not only has the coolest interchangeable watches, but they’re also jelly watches! How cool is that?

There is nothing worse than a little one who wakes up in the middle of the night with a fever. They’re so weak & it’s just heartbreaking for us parents to see our babies like that. It seems that every time either of my boys has had a fever, it would spike during the night. So I did what every parent does – I gave them a dose of acetaminophen. PediaCare is a trusted brand of acetaminophen for children and I’ve used it myself on many occasions.
