However, this year is different and I've got some great gift ideas for the men in your life! For one hour tomorrow night during the Philips NORELCO Twitter Party … [Read more...]
Like most shoppers, I get pretty excited when I discover a deal on a product I've been searching for. Unfortunately, I'm not the best deal finder out there. In fact, I'm pretty bad at finding deals. They're in ads, newspapers, magazines, coupon websites, marketing emails, blogs and everywhere in between. It's stressful for me to sort through all of those things to find the best deals. There are times I'd rather just give up and pay full price … [Read more...]

Last week I introduced you to the line of LG front load washers along with a fabulous giveaway all while "airing my dirty laundry" so to speak. This week, I'm proud to say that I did finally get around to putting away all of those clean clothes and now have a new pile of dirty ones waiting on me to find time to wash. It most definitely feels like a never-ending cycle that feels impossible to conquer sometimes. If you ever feel the same, you … [Read more...]

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of New-Skin for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Being a parent means I have to fill a lot of roles. Sometimes I'm a friend, a cook, a house keeper, a shoulder to cry on and on more occasions than I'd like, I'm also a nurse. Having three kids that are full of energy, I've dealt with my fair share of bumps, bruises, scrapes and cuts. My 10 year old son in particular comes home from … [Read more...]

Well, what if you had a front load washer that you could count on day and night to get the job done for you? … [Read more...]
