I received food items in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. Like many of you, my workweek is hectic. I don't know one mother who has "all the time in the world" to get things done. As our to do list gets longer, our free time gets cut even shorter so I am always on a mission to find ways to cut corners. Dinnertime is a perfect example on how I cut corners. I try to use ingredients that can help save me time in the kitchen so I can spend more quality time where it maters Continue Reading

nuNAAT NAAT Treatment For Curly Hair Review
Products used were provided by the brand. All opinions & thoughts are my own. Like many woman, hair is a hot topic. We love what others have & want to change what we were born with. It's no surprise that my teen daughter is also in this category. But with having curly hair and living in the humid South, having a good hair day is few and far between. My daughter has been flat ironing her hair for at least a year. I know using a flat iron isn't exactly good for her hair we she tries to Continue Reading
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
I’m Styling with the Conair Infiniti Pro Series #conairdidmyhair
My hair, like for many women is something I can't begin to explain! Years ago I used to wake up, brush my hair and I would be done with the prep work that involved my hair. I haven't brushed and left my hair alone since back in the mid 90's when I was in high school. Then one day my curly haired youngest sister started using a flat iron and my life forever changed. I know it's not good for my hair, but I need to flat iron and blow dry. My hair needs it. I need it. Believe me, you don't want to 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. This meant I spent a lot of time with my older brother and enjoyed playing with him every weekend when we were not in school. By playing, I mean playing with HIS toys. We played Continue Reading

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
Because I’m Your Dad By Ahmet Zappa
There is nothing more that tugs at a woman's heart than the love between a father & his children.
