Make A Stop At The Walgreens Wellness Tour

Disclosure: I partnered with Walgreens to provide an overview of the 2015 Wellness Tour. All opinions are my own, as always. Earlier this year, I had a health scare that finally scared me enough that I went to see an urgent care doctor. He checked me out, gave me a prescription for a steroid and sent me on my way, but not before encouraging me to get myself a primary care physician. "Do they … [Continue reading...]

Save $$$ On Your Next Vacation: The Benefits Beyond Groceries At BJ’s Wholesale Club

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of BJ's Wholesale Club and all opinions are 100% my own. I've been shopping at BJ's for about three months now and I've quickly become a fan. I love that they have a wide selection of organic food and my kids had a ball with some of the summer toys we found in the center of the store. (My kids call it the "fun part.") The store continues to … [Continue reading...]

When Childhood Memories Come Full Circle

This is a sponsored post by Tootsie Pops and these opinions are 100% my own. It’s a widely accepted fact that old people in church always have “the candy”—usually the peppermint, the butterscotch and that weird strawberry hard candy that I rarely, if ever, see in the stores. (I think it just materializes in their pockets once they hit a certain age.) As a child, I remember walking into … [Continue reading...]

UMIGO.com Is A Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved Website For Your Little Math Lovers

Over the past year, my 6-year-old son has really blossomed in math. I was talking on the phone to my husband about a delivery with my son present. "It's going to be an additional $50 with a $59 delivery charge," I told him. "They're charging you $109 dollars?!" my son Thomas asked, his eyes wide. My husband and I looked at each other. When did he learn to do math like that in his head? We … [Continue reading...]

#StateFarmGroove Giveaway: Win Tickets To 2015 Essence Music Festival OR Visa Gift Card!

When I decided to go get my master's degree in 2010, most people probably thought I was crazy. I had two small children (ages 4 and 2), a full-time job with a two-hour daily commute and a husband who, while supportive, had a very demanding job of his own. But I went ahead and applied to my alma mater for its graduate program in Family Studies. In a nutshell, I would be studying how to help … [Continue reading...]

5 Tips For Maximum Fun At Great Wolf Lodge

Disclosure: I received a discounted media rate for my stay at Great Wolf Lodge, and as always, my opinions are my own! 1. Bring your robes. They have plenty of towels in different corners of the waterpark and I grabbed quite a few to make sure we had enough to dry us off after being in the water. They don't want you to take the towels out of the waterpark area (even though I noticed some … [Continue reading...]

Disclosure: This is a review post sponsored by BJ's Wholesale Club and all opinions, as always, are my own. As I am the main grocery shopper and meal planner/preparer in my house, buying organic has become increasingly important to me. While I am still thrilled by the expanded organic selection at Aldi, my weekly grocery store, I find myself wishing I could buy more organic items in bulk. It's … [Continue reading...]
