Saving Time, Money & Energy #FiltreteFilters AD
My husband has been an Electrician for the past 20 years, so it is no surprise that we always invest time and money to make our home more energy efficient. I was recently given the opportunity to review Filtrete Filters by 3M air filters for my heating and cooling system. I needed the change too! I have bought air filters from as little as $2-$22 and all were mediocre. Why? Well, the generic no name brands caught the dust & sometimes just masked odors from our pets, mildew, cooking, cleaning Continue Reading
28 Days to Supercharge My Metabolism #FastMetabolismDiet
The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years. It seems like I do well for a few weeks then once I plateau, all my good word ends and nothing else is lost. What I have been needing is something to change my mind frame and metabolism. It's not that I eat a overeat or that I'm eating nothing but processed, unhealthy foods either. I need to exercise more and get my slow Continue Reading
Connect With Family Using the textPlus App #llblog
This post is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influenced. They say "Home is where the heart is" but sometimes being at home isn't always a possible. Being a blogger, I sometimes have to travel out of state without my family. Naturally I can connect with family on social media, but sometimes you want to hear your loved ones voice or have a private quick conversation as time permits. As connected as I may be to my mobile device, my entire family isn't as connected do Continue Reading
ANGRY BIRDS STAR WARS Toy Giveaway Ends 5/3
The following is a Sponsored Post. Giveaway listed below is provided by Hasbro. All opions and thoughts are as always, my own. As a young child living in Los Angeles, my mother was extremely protective of us. Since she was a single mother for so many years, she was always working to provide for my older brother & I.

Finding A Refreshing Snack Alternative in Chunk O’ Fruti Fruit Bars #FreshNFruti #Cbias
The following is a sponsored post. As always, all opinions are my own. As our school aged children (ages 8 & almost 13 yrs old) get older, I'm finding that they are starting to make their own food choices outside of my home. Whether it's at school, at friend's house, or at local events I have to trust that they are going to make the "right" choice. But choosing healthy snacks isn't always easy. We love fruit in my home. Seriously, I haven't met a fruit my son won't eat, but I generally Continue Reading

Stepping Into Springtime with BIGELOW Tea #AmericasTea
It's funny how certain seasons triggers specific emotions & memories I had as a child. My grandmother would spend several hours a day in the spring & summer months tending to her large garden. I benefited from the harvest, but I also grew a love for gardening and to this day have a large vegetable garden every springtime. One thing I clearly remembered was my grandmother coming inside on a hot day to enjoy a glass of iced tea. She had boxes of tea on the counter from herbal tea, Continue Reading
Game of Thrones – Characters We Love To Hate
If your of fan of the George R. R. Martin's The Game of Thrones fantasy novels, then your more than likely a fan of the HBO Fantasy Drama Game of Thrones which chronicles the struggles among the realm's noble families for ultimate control of the Iron Throne. The series (and books) can be complex at time with the massive amount of noble families, how their lives intertwine, and who would have the right to the throne. But one thing we can all agree on is that the characters, although complex in Continue Reading
