Must-have addition to your spring wardrobe

March 28, 2012 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Spring has arrived!

We have already started changing out wardrobes. It is so wonderful to see bright and new fresh colors come to light after all the winter colors that are not so bright. The girls enjoy changing wardrobes each season. It’s like Christmas all over in our house.

There is one piece that you need to add to your Spring wardrobe. Lands’ End sent me their best seller Fine Gauge Supima Crew Cardigan. I absolutely love this beautiful Spring piece. It is so versatile and I have already wore it with several different outfits. One day you can wear it with a dress and days later you can wear it with jeans. The transitions are flawless.

The soft feel, since it is made with premium Supima – America’s finest cotton, is a huge plus to me. The cardigan as you can see in the picture falls right at the hips which is just perfect for me. I can leave the cardigan unbuttoned or button only a couple of buttons. The cuteness factor is there either way. See how versatile the cardigan can be?

A perfect addition to your Spring wardrobe. It is always nice to purchase an item that can be used many different ways so you are not only wearing an item a couple times a season.

Lands’ End is having their Spring sale right now. You can save up to 30% off on select items and get free shipping with no minimum order. Use – Promotion Code SWIMHQ1 and PIN 2512. Happy Shopping!

Disclosure: Lands’ End provided the cardigan in order to facilitate this review. No other compensation was given. All thoughts and opinions are of my own.

Save BIG on your spring cleaning with Glade

March 27, 2012 by Jennifer Leave a Comment

We are all about saving money. The one thing that we can say with the economy downturn is that more and more people are becoming frugal. Our country needed this in a big way. We as a country were living above our means and needed our attitudes toward money adjusted.

Since we are all starting or in the midst of our spring cleaning, I wanted to bring to your attention great money-saving coupons from Glade®. As you all know, this month I have been sharing information on the new Limited Edition Spring Collection from Glade.

Here are three ways to save on Glade® air fresheners:

1. Try the Glade® Limited Edition Spring Collection at your nearest Food Lion! Enhancing your home’s ambiance has never been easier or more affordable thanks to the digital coupon from Glade®. Purchase three Glade® products and instantly save $2!

Thanks to Glade® and Food Lion, all of these scents will have your house smelling fresh without breaking the bank. Now, that is a win-win solution.

Lower your grocery bill with Food Lion + Giveaway!

March 25, 2012 by Jennifer 49 Comments

We live by our budget each month. I check into our software daily to ensure we are not going over budget. Each week, I have a limit of $75 for our weekly groceries. Due to several factors in the economy, food prices are increasing at an alarming rate. We have to use coupons and purchase generic items in order to stay within our budget each week. I sit and do a weekly meal plan all the while ensuring we are staying away from high fructose corn syrup products. Is it easy? No, but it is definitely doable.

Thank goodness, Food Lion is helping us stay within our weekly budget. I have been a loyal Food Lion customer since I was a small child and would go shopping with my mom. Food Lion was also my first job. I was a cashier and got moved to Office Assistant very quickly during my high school days. So, naturally, I am going to give props since we go way back. It helps though with all the recent changes that Food Lion has went through in their stores.

Food Lion has lowered their prices all throughout their store. They have also added several food items under the brand name “My Essentials”

The My Essentials brand can be found on just about every food product that you can think of on the grocery shelves.

You may think since it is a generic brand, that the taste would be less than thrilling. This is actually the opposite. If you put the generic brand beside a regular brand, you would have a hard time telling the difference. My girls or hubby has yet to say a word about the food tasting different. I purchased all of the My Essentials items below this past week and none of the products have high fructose corn syrup. Huge score since you are receiving a healthier item minus the increased price.

Food Lion gave me a $150 gift card to do my shopping. I came out of the store with a total of $158 spent. The grocery trip fulfilled all our grocery needs for the next two weeks. I was one happy mom!

Overall, I am a very pleased customer. It did take me a while to shop because I was looking for the high fructose corn syrup in every product but I was able to come away with several My Essential items, several quality meats and lots of fresh produce. Take your time, remember your budget and keep your meal plan in your hand. You can shop for less at Food Lion.

When I came home from shopping, I actually whipped up an easy recipe for my Mom’s birthday using two items from the My Essentials brand. Check out this easy German Chocolate cake that is so moist. It got raving reviews from everyone at the party.

YOU can experience the new lower prices at Food Lion.

Decorate your home with Glade – WIN!

March 22, 2012 by Jennifer 52 Comments

Let’s face the music — air fresheners can bring a wonderful aroma into our house, but the packaging isnot always the prettiest. Well Glade® must’ve heard us moms across the U.S. because the new Glade® Limited Edition Spring Collection is adorable!

In fact, the new Polka Dot Petals™ candle released a wonderful aroma in our house this weekend.

I didn’t have to compromise my style with the dispenser. This made for a very happy mom. As I had that extra bounce in my step, my husband just looked at me. He said: “So, is it the smell or the decor that has made you so happy?” — HA! The sun was shining in the windows, the candle was burning, and I was in full spring cleaning mode. I am not the only one that gets in these modes, right?

The extra cheer could possibly be coming from the Glade® packaging design. The Limited Edition Spring Collection offers fresh, exhilarating fragrances that are complemented by vibrant packaging design. In each of the rooms, I have placed a premium room spray. The packaging screams “WELCOME, SPRING!”

My favorite room spray is the Polka Dots Petals™. My husband is really enjoying the Magic Meadow™. He is a carpenter, so it would be expected in my opinion.

You can see for yourself — the Glade® Limited Edition Spring Collection home fragrance products look as good as they smell.

WIN!

New Strawberry Shortcake DVD Coloring Contest

March 20, 2012 by Jennifer 1 Comment

Spring gets sweeter with two new whimsical adventures. On our road trip this weekend, the girls were having fun with the new adventures. I love that a childhood favorite of mine is back just in time to be a favorite of my girls. Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Brick Road and Strawberry Shortcake: Bloomin’ Berry Garden, blossomed on DVD earlier this month from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

First, Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Brick Road follows Strawberry and her friends as they retell the classic “Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” When a cyclone blows Strawberry to the strange land of Oz, she runs into trouble with the Wicked Witch and must journey to the Emerald City to ask the Wizard how to find her way back home.

Next, Strawberry Shortcake: Bloomin’ Berry Garden shows that it’s time for garden growing fun with Strawberry and her friends as they prepare for the Spring Flower Festival! But when magical sparkles make the Berrykins grow tall and the girls shrink down small, they discover that even when they’re tiny, they can make a big difference.

There are not many shows left in today’s society that is good clean family fun. The girls have watched the DVDs over and over this past weekend and have enjoyed telling their favorite parts to me. I would love for you to experience the fun with your kids as well.

COLORING CONTEST

1. Print this coloring sheet. Have your little one color to their delight.

2. Once the coloring sheet is finished, submit photos of your child’s beautifully colored sheets via Twitpic (or your fave twitter photo tool) to @onemomsworld and @FoxHomeEnt, using the hashtag #StrawberryShortcake.

3. Fox Entertainment will then choose five of their favorite submissions, and those readers’ entries will be re-tweeted from @FoxHomeEnt and each will win both new Strawberry Shortcake DVDs described above! Pretty cool right?

Let the coloring begin. I can’t wait to see the beautiful artwork!
