Moms, Find Your Inner Beauty and Outer Glow *Giveaway*

This last week, the weather has been beautiful.  There were a few times I thought about busting out the flip flops and capris!  I don’t know what it is about spring, but it makes me want to get with it!  I want to spice up my wardrobe, start a beauty routine and keep my greys under control.  However, that takes time and money…or does it? Because Disney Family recognizes that many moms are short on time and cash, they wanted to provide tips and advice on easy and inexpensive ways moms can shine. To help moms find their inner beauty & outer glow, Disney Family.com recently added new beauty-related content to their site in the Makeover Mom section, including how to build a better... [more]

Weird But True! *Giveaway*

I’m one of those people that loves learning quirky facts.  So much so, I’ve read all of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader books.  To be truthful, I’ve read them all many, many times.  Just one or two of the quips before I go to bed. We recently tried out National Geographic Kids, Weird But True.  It’s a book chock-full of fun facts!  You never know when you’ll need these little bits of knowledge. Johnny has been reading the facts and then we try to find more information online.  For instance, The Amazon rain forest is home to giant rodents- called capybaras- that are about as tall as German Shepherds. After using our friend Google, we were able to find... [more]

This Week on The View *Giveaway!*

So I’m having issues with this here little blog…and it’s holding me back.  No worries though, they are close to being resolved and I appreciate you hanging in there with me!  In case you missed it, yesterday the women of The View did the Oscar Talk. Did you happen to see Sherri Shepherd there? I loved her dress, so beautiful!  Now, I’m not a big movie watcher and I did read Push, the book Precious was based on and it was really something.  Wow.  I was rooting for everyone nominated from that movie. So, the rest of the week looks like this: Tuesday: Guests -Andy Garcia and his daughter Dominik Garcia-Lorido (“City Island”); Elissa Stein and Susan Kim (author,... [more]

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since the defining and most critically acclaimed album of the 1990’s was released.  That’s right, Supernatural is celebrating it’s 10th Anniversary of the multi-platinum album.  Who doesn’t remember jammin’ to that delicious tune, Smooth?  It’s one of my favorites still!

Keeping Hands Germ Free *Giveaway

Flu season is far from over.  I stress hand washing to the kids and when given the opportunity to try out the Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System from Lysol…I jumped on it!  After all, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends hand washing as the number one way to avoid getting sick and prevent the spread of germs to others. With the Healthy Touch No-Touch Hand Soap System, I’m no longer asking – “Did you use soap?”.  The kids LOVE using this system!  And to be honest, I do too.  No more germy soap pumps!  I keep the system we were sent in the bathroom, and I’m going to purchase another one for the kitchen.  How many times... [more]

Date Night Package *CLOSED*

I’m sure I’ve mentioned it…but just in case you’ve forgotten, Brand and I were married on Valentine’s Day.  Surprisingly enough, Brand was the one who wanted to get married on that particular day.  Romantic, right?  Yeah, well, he’s not.  He picked that day because it’s easy to remember, and in a sense, kills two birds with one stone.  No guy wants to forget his anniversary. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, many couples are planning the perfect evening out.  I can’t tell you the last time we went on a actual date.  I mean, we always seem to have one or both of the kids in tow…and that’s okay.  Perhaps that’s... [more]

Gearing Up For Gametime! *CLOSED*

I love football.  High school, college and pro.  I love it all!  Of course, I bleed red with my Nebraska Huskers, but we’re also fans of the New York Jets.  While I was disappointed that they didn’t make it to the Superbowl, I’m a fan of the New Orleans Saints…it’s all good! That said, the Superbowl is one of my favorite days of the year.  I make finger foods for the family to enjoy all night long.  Last year we had, spicy wings, spinach artichoke dip, bbq meatballs, 7 layer mexican dip and stuffed puffed pastry bites.  It was delicious…and fun!  I’d have to rate it as a perfect day.  I guess that is why I’m excited for the game on Sunday. ... [more]

Canker Cover *CLOSED*

When I get stressed, I get canker sores. It’s been that way since I was a child.   It’s brings me to the “OMG, Sweet Baby Jesus” mode that often includes tears.  Seriously, it hurts to eat, drink and talk because I don’t get one canker sore,  I usually get 5 or 6…and they are huge.  TMI, I know. I jumped at the chance to try Canker Cover! Canker Cover is the only over-the-counter canker sore treatment shown in clinical studies to significantly speed treatment.  The pill shaped patch adheres to the sore and forms a gel patch that protect the sore, relieves the pain and speeds treatment.  In two separtate clincal studies, Canker Cover was shown to heal... [more]

Wash Them Grow with Suave Kids

Ironically enough, before I knew about this campaign, I had bought a bottle of Suave Kids No More Tangles for Paige…and our love affair with Suave started all over again.  Then, I heard about the Suave Kids “Wash Them Grow” program.  The package arrived last night and Paige couldn’t wait for bath time!  We received the Strawberry Body Wash, Berry Body Wash, Free and Gentle Body Wash and perhaps my favorite the Moisturizing Body Wash.  I like the Suave Kids because it’s perfect for both kids to use.  Suave Kids products are perfect for babies, on up to the independent child: Nurture Your Baby’s Firsts – While enjoying all your baby’s firsts,... [more]

Making Perfect Scents! *CLOSED*

I love candles and smellies (ahem, good smellies) in the house.  What I don’t love is the black soot that comes from the candles.  Perhaps something is wrong with my house, but I’ve had several brands of candles fill my front room with soot and smoke, to the point that the smoke detector goes off.  I’m left with sooty walls and furniture/toys/floors that must be washed. I’m no longer worried about a soot filled room with Scentsy.  Scentsy is a wickless candle system.  Using a warmer heated by a light bulb, bars of wax are heated releasing their delicious scents. Amazingly enough, Scentsy is a rather new company…yet it’s grown so fast.  Having celebrated... [more]

I’ve found a scrumptious site that I have to share!  It’s a great little place known as The Tots. Founded by a stay at home mom, The Tots is dedicated to bringing unique gifts for both babies and toddlers.  From the handmade to the trusted brands.  You will love what you’ll find. For instance, Tell me that this Cherry Flurry Silk Flower Headband isn’t on every toddlers wish list.  I think it would make an excellent Valentine’s Day gift for my little Paige. Spoil those newborns with the Olive and Merlot Booties.  Made with cashmere marino wool, I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you they give me baby fever. I know I feature items for girls…I... [more]

Being that it’s National Fiber Focus Month, Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies fit right in! That’s right, I have yet another way to get fiber in to my little lady.  And it’s so easy! Paige loves her Fiber Gummies!  I love them because: 1.5 grams of fiber per gummy Sugar-free, zero calories Great tasting, all natural fruit flavors NOT  a laxative Often times Paige will have some sort of fruit snacks during the day.  She likes them in a mug and it’s easy for me to toss in several Fiber Gummies.  With their fun penguin shape, Paige doesn’t even notice the difference.  The Fiber Gummies are dentist approved too.

Chasing Pirates *CLOSED*

Lego’s and Norah Jones.  It’s probably not a combination you’d associate with each other.  Back in November Norah Jones released a new album, The Fall. Included on that album is the song Chasing Pirates. It’s a song that has stuck with me…and the video is pretty darn creative, of course being a fan of NYC, you can see why!  You can find Chasing Pirates here on Seeryus Mama and on the Norah Jones Hulu Channel.  Norah Jones and Lego’s have teamed up to promote her new album, The Fall and Chasing Pirates…which means an incredible giveaway for you!

Well, you can certainly find really good chocolate from Ritter Sport.  It all started in 1912, when Alfred Ritter and his wife,... [more]
