Young At Heart Mommy

Managing Motherhood Through Love & Laughter

Influenster #UniVoxBox

I received these complementary products from Influenster for testing purposes.

As a member of Influenster I am occasionally chosen to review and test a themed boxed of goodies. This month I was sent the #UniVoxBox which is targeted towards students in college. It’s hard to believe that I still find a way to juggle being a mom, working part time, AND going to school. In this box I found products that I was familiar with and many that I had never tried.  

Here is what I found inside…

Simple Solutions For Busy Parents + #WIN A Keurig Special Edition Brewer! #JustBrewIt

I participated in this sponsored campaign on behalf of One2One Network. All opinions stated are my own.

Depresso(n): the moment of sadness when you realize there is no more coffee in your cup.

I never considered myself a coffee drinker until I became a mother. I didn’t like the taste, was clueless about creamers, and had no clue how to use a coffee pot. It’s safe to say that many things change the moment you become a parent; lack of energy is at the top of that long list.  My ability to function without caffeine has become more apparent and that convenient Keurig brewer in my kitchen gets more love than any other appliance. Five years later and coffee is practically running through my veins at any given hour of the day. It’s a good thing because I always have a million things going on and there are never enough hours to get them all done. Even on the busiest of days the Keurig Special Edition brewer makes it a cinch to brew a nice cuppa’ coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cider in under one minute. It only takes a touch of a button and shortly after you are presented with a cup of happiness. Oh, how I love thee!

When Super Lice Attack!

If you have spent some time watching the news lately then you probably saw the recent segment on lice infestations. It is thought that the popular “selfie” trend is causing an increase in these little critters. Who would have thought that taking a quick photo with a friend would actually be the gateway to bug swapping? It gives me the creepy crawlies thinking about it! I remember having lice as a kid and it was no fun. The only perk is being able to stay home from school for a few days until the six legged critters die off. Thank goodness Toodie has not come home with it yet. I know it’s bound to happen but until then I can take precautions.

Give Your Man A Little TLC With Dove Men+ Hair

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

I used to think that woman were the only ones with hair woes and worries. We get caught up fussing about the length, color, texture, thickness, and those pesky roots that grow faster than they can be retouched. It’s true, we do have more options and a lot more tools to keep our hair manageable. But in all honesty we are not the only ones that have hair needs. Men have it just as bad as we do in their own special way. They have their own list of issues including balding, turning grey, receding hairlines, hat hair, cowlicks, and the occasional dandruff outbreak from a dry itchy scalp. Yes ladies, these are more serious than what hair accessory will match our outfit for the day! The men in our life need a little hair TLC too.

Big G Retro Cereals Are A Blast From The Past #CerealThrowback #PlatefullCoOp

The information and free cereal have been provided by General Mills through Platefull Co-Op.

Did you know that the cereal in your pantry could have an interesting story behind it? Many families begin the morning with a big bowl of their favorite cereal. Whether your pick is sugary sweet or plain grain, each has it’s own history. For example, Lucky Charms was created in 1962 and was actually based on the idea of combining classic Cheerios with Brach’s Circus Peanuts. I bet you didn’t know that little tidbit!

Upgrade Your Armpit Arsenal With Dove® Advanced Care

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

Armpits are one of those body parts that you don’t often talk about. They’re not much of a conversation starter at the dinner table and let’s face it, I find them kind of strange. Some are smooth. Some are hairy. Some look like they came out of the Planet of the Apes movie. To each his own right? Regardless, we all take care of our underarms in one way or another. I find myself shaving every other day because I can’t stand the pricklies. But this leaves my underarms feeling very sensitive and irritated. There has to be something I can do to repair the damage.

Are you ready to sweeten up Spring time? Chapstick® has just released two limited edition flavors for Spring, Pomegranate Gumdrop & Citrus Jelly Bean. These two candylicious flavors are just as good as they sound! Pomegranate Gumdrop is fruity and has a nice red tint to it. I wear it over my lip stain and it keeps my lips moisturized all day. Citrus Jelly Bean reminds me of an orange creamsicle! They are both good enough to eat.

Monetize Your Blog Through Fun Campaigns With Linqia

This post is not sponsored but does contain affiliate links.

When I first started my blog I had no plan, no direction, and no idea what I was getting into. It started as an outlet to share my kid friendly crafts and recipes. As time went on I began to invest more of myself into my writing and started to enjoy sharing my adventures in motherhood. Two years ago I was at a completely different place in my life than I am now. After working since I was 16 years old, I was now a full time stay at home mom with more than enough free time on my hands. Young At Heart Mommy is one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. It gave me re-direction and confidence to continue with my goals, aspirations, and dreams.  I also quickly learned that I could actually earn an income by doing something I truly loved, blogging. After realizing that there were so many ways to monetize my blog I began researching and communicating with seasoned bloggers who knew the tricks of the trade.

Decorate Your Space With Stylish Styles From Kleenex #KleenexStyle

Thank you to Kleenex for sponsoring this post and keeping my home stylish and practical!


Spring has officially sprung and with the season change comes an abundance of beautiful flowers, fluttering butterflies, and the occasional allergy attack which creeps up ever so gently. This is one of my favorite times of the year because the weather is lovely and it’s the ideal opportunity to step outside to enjoy nature at its finest. When Spring arrives it often sets off allergy and cold season in our home. To battle the runny noses you can find a box of Kleenex tissues in every room at any given time. To bring a pop of color to your space Kleenex has new packaging out in stores. The designs are bright, colorful, and modern. It’s a  refreshing change compared to the classic solid colored tissue boxes you usually find on shelves and hidden under bathroom sinks.
