My husband always makes fun of me for this, but I refuse to wear anything but sandals in the summer. Because of this I will only wear flip flops, sandals, or maybe flats if it isn't over 90 degrees (which rarely happens in the summer here.) This doesn't work out for me when certain situations require shoes that protect my feet more. I just hate my feet being sweaty. It grosses me out...anyone else? Bueller? Bueller? Enter geox shoes, breathable happiness for my feet. Now, I've come to accept this fact after years of denial...but flip flops are kind of ugly. Now, before the rage begins I have to say I still love them to death and will always own at least five pairs. … [Read more...]

Does Your Husband Get Bored of His Games? Sell Them!
June 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment
My husband loves his games. I don't blame him--I'm the same way with my things like makeup. But the thing about the games is he normally gets bored really fast, then the games just sit there and never get played (even though he goes to midnight launches and whatnot.) I am always telling him..."HEY! GO! Sell Games!" but he never does. When my husband gets pleasure from video games, I have absolutely no problem...but when they just sit there I start having an issue. Why not get the money back? Put it towards something else that he wants, even another video game if thats what he decides. Having a service to trade in games, consoles, and whatever else has value is … [Read more...]
Subaru Backseat Living, Embrace the Backseat #SubaruBackseat
June 19, 2013 By
One of the craziest times with kids is in the car. Now, being in the car for maybe five minutes while we're driving to the store is not too bad...it's the 30 minute+ drives that make me want to pull my hair out. These times can be crazy and unforgiving, but like everything else in life that drives us to the edge--it has it's silver lining as well, and that silver lining is more like gold.Subaru Forester? Life in the Backseat Videos have reminded me about this silver gold lining, and has reminded me to embrace the backseat shenanigans. My favorite is actually a video I saw before this awesome Subaru campaign, it made me laugh to the point of tears then and still does … [Read more...]
Cascade Platinum–I Might Actually Like Doing Dishes Now #MyPlatinum
June 17, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I used to be one of those people who scrubbed dishes thoroughly before putting them in the dishwasher to run the cycle. It was my belief that the dishwasher just "sanitized" my dishes, and I would always have to do the heavy lifting of actually scrubbing off the caked on food. It sucked. I would often put off dishes because I despised doing them so much...not that I'm proud to admit it. Due to my belief that the dishwasher was only there to sanitize, I would only buy the generic … [Read more...]

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Dole Packaged Foods, LLC. However, all opinions expressed are my own. Lately my family has been on-the-go all the time.

Anything that will give that feel of relaxing and enjoying something delicious with my girls is always welcomed in my house--and I've found something that does that. The Dole Fruit Squish'ems.

Pro Blogging Tip: Don’t Sell Big Ticket “Review” Items as “New In Box” on Facebook
June 4, 2013 By 13 Comments
My good friend and business partner, Jenna, and I always chat every night and just talk about the world and how things are going. Unfortunately tonight's chat was about something that both shocked and disgusted me. An "influential" blogger was selling her $170 portable crib on Facebook "New in Box" just two days after publishing the review on her blog. Wait...WHAT? Don't believe me? I have a handy dandy screenshot. When I saw this, I commented on the photo with her review link asking her if the product was really New in Box or not. Within two minutes her "for sale" post on Facebook had been deleted. Shady shady business. The point is...do not do this. This is … [Read more...]

Summer is coming, don’t relax too much on personal security. #LifeLock
May 30, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Summer is coming up quick and one of the easiest things to do is get a little too comfortable and forget to regularly check the mail, or don't catch the signs of your child's credit being taken advantage of. I will talk about some of these risks and give you some ways to better protect yourself, and your family, during the lazy summer. Watch the mail, carefully! Mail is one of the easiest and most basic ways identity theft can happen. Don't let it be you! It is a good idea to invest in a lockable mail box and it will help protect you from thieves who are interested and stealing your valuables and information that regularly visit your mail box. Protecting … [Read more...]
Family Time in the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
May 29, 2013 By Leave a Comment
I'm always ready to try out a new car, and I was really excited to try out the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The car is beautiful in photographs and looks pretty slick from the outside. When it showed up at my doorstep I was psyched that it was red (I'm convinced I'm going to be buying a red car one day.) The Outlander Sport has its pros and cons, but nothing really stood out to me. Not a bad car at all, but not outrageously impressive either. It is really cute, and totally looks like a "Mom car" that I would most likely be driving. Don't mind the dirt, we really drove it and anytime we have to go somewhere around here it requires driving through the … [Read more...]
