DIY Greeting Card Organizer Using Cardstock Paper And A Storage Bin

I never thought I would willingly admit this but over the years it’s been brought to my attention that I have become a greeting card hoarder collector. With two full boxes sitting in the closet it’s hard to deny my fondness for those with a heart warming message or beautiful designs on the front. They always find a way to suck me in, especially when I get lost in Walmart at 2 in the morning and am reminded of how many celebrations call for warm wishes throughout the year. Luckily, they have a huge selection of affordable Hallmark cards starting at just 47 cents a piece. It’s easy to go in with the intention of picking up one or two and leave with a dozen in your cart. They also carry wrapping paper, tissue paper, and bows to complete your gift.

Decked Out Crunchy Taco Tostadas With Hamburger Helper

Is tomorrow really the first day of May? Spring is flying by right before my eyes. Soon it will be the end of the school year and the beginning of a long awaited Summer vacation. I can’t stress enough how thrilled I am to not have to wake up before the sun rises each day. The next month or so is going to be hectic, from the end of the year classroom celebrations to preparing for Summer camp activities. I have plenty to do and each day it seems like something new gets added to that list. There really isn’t very much time in between either. The last thing I want to do after a busy day of running around is slave away in the kitchen. Simple meals are a must and while we all appreciate a quick fix satisfy hungry tummies, it doesn’t mean they have to be bland or boring. In fact, these decked out Crunchy Taco Tostadas using Hamburger Helper are anything but that!

Spring isn’t just about cleaning out the clutter and starting fresh. It’s also the season to save and stock up on household must-have items.

Ever have that feel good moment when you buy a new outfit and cannot wait to wear it out for the first time?

We’ve all fallen victim to the dreaded residue and fortunately for us there is now a solution. You can now get superior protection without the hassle with the new dry spray antiperspirants from Degree, Dove, and Axe.

Peanut Butter Chocolate + Caramel Cashew Clusters #AnySnackPerfect

I received compensation and information and/or free product from The Hershey Company and/or Collective Bias. All opinions expressed within are my own. #CollectiveBias #AnySnackPerfect

Since I can remember I have been an avid snacker. Graze, nibble, sample, taste, munch- you name it and it is most likely part of my snacking strategy. When I was younger I could grab a bowl of cereal and be completely content. These days picking a snack is much more complex. There’s always that constant battle between sweet or salty. So many choices yet so little time and whatever I choose has to be simple. I find it’s best to combine the two along with my favorite satisfying snacks all in one, salted cashews and peanut butter. The new Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Spreads is a delicious indulgence on it’s own but when generously coated on top of my homemade clusters a new snack is born.

5 Must Have Hair Products For Kids + Earn Rewards With Suave Family Perks

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I have a confession. I strongly dislike HATE doing my daughter’s hair. I try, I really do… but I’m just not very good at it. You would think after spending many years doing my own hair I would have somehow mastered the common pony tail and maybe even a braid here and there. When I found out I was having a little girl I couldn’t wait for the frilly dresses, embellished shoes, and adorable hairstyles with coordinating accessories. Well here we are five years later and the adorable hairstyle fantasy just isn’t happening. I am lucky if I get a comb through it without a loud scream of terror.

It’s no mystery that Halloween is high on the list when it comes to my favorite holidays. Last month I got a head start and began sharing a few of my ghoulish recipes to get into the spirit. As we approach the spooky day of celebration my gears have been locked into creative mode and there has been quite a bit of hocus pocus going on in the kitchen. As much as I enjoy nibbling on Halloween candy before and after the big day, it has become a staple ingredient in my creations lately. These Lumpy Bumpy Monster Candy Cupcakes bring the best of my two favorite treats together- cake and candy. Using the Wonka Mix Ups I was able to bring those fun lumpy bumpy creatures to life!

Split ends are one of the most common hair care issues that many woman have. No matter how healthy your hair is or how many miracle products you invest in, everyone has suffered from this dreadful enemy. I have spent the past year doing everything I can to improve the appearance and overall quality of my hair. This includes reducing the heat on my blow dryer,  taking vitamins, using protective sprays, passing up the daily use of my favorite straightener, and even sticking to a dark hair style so I could grow out the bleach from previous highlighting. The condition of my hair has improved drastically but there are times that those annoying split ends need a little TLC and Suave Professionals Split End Rescue duo does just that.
