Hopping for your Honey: Scentsy Plug In and Scent Bar Giveaway!





THANK YOU FOR VISITING!

I am excited to share this Giveaway with you as I am a HUGE Scentsy fan! They have adorable Warmers and the best selection of Scents. You may have seen the warmers at Retail Stores as many variations are now out there, but I went down that road to save money a while back and I will only ever buy from Scentsy now. My "store" warmers get VERY HOT and I have thrown certain one's out because I am scared my son will touch it. And the "store" scents do not last nearly as long or are as fragrant. One Warmer does my entire home well, but I do have 2 just because! 
If you are familiar with Scentsy, then I KNOW you will be as excited as me to see what they have in store between now and Spring! Here is a sneak peak below:

Scentsy Velata    sincerely scent by scentsy  Layers by Scentsy - Personal and Laundry Care products

YES! You see Correct-Fondu, Scented Greeting Cards and Body/Home Products! Are you as excited as I am? You will have to make sure you follow my Sponsor's Facebook Page and Scentsy Page as listed in Rafflecopter to stay up to date as the release Information on these! 

So! Who is my Sponsor?
 Quick Story and a Special Benefit she has going on for the Month of February!
Alison is my Husband's Ex-Wife. We are the Mothers' of 2 boys-14 and 19 years old. A few weeks ago-Friday the 13th to be exact, our 19 Year Old ran out in nothing but his Boxers and carrying his new Beagle from his burning house my FIL was renting to him. He is OK and young enough to be able to get back on his feet in some time. But, at 19 you work hard and buy things! He did that and although he shared the home with other's, the majority of the things lost were his and they lost EVERYTHING! The Benefit: Alison is donating all of her February Profit to Alan. He is a good kid and is saving for a place of his own again and will need to refurnish his new place and any help he can get is very gratifying to him. Please contact Alison with any questions or contemplate placing your order through her. There is an option to subscribe to her Scentsy Newsletter and on that link is also information on how to contact her or order right from her site.

My Pick: Product of the Week is Amazon's Appstore

OK. So this is more of a Website, but I have grown to become addicted to the daily Free App at Amazons App Store. I have an Android Smartphone and Android Software on my Acer Tablet and a 3 year old who likes to entertain himself on them. Many of the times the Free App is geared towards him. The most recent that is one of his favorites was the SuperWhy App that was free for a day.

When you go to the App store you will see the front screen has an App free for that day on the front page like the one below. You click on Get App. Log into your Amazon account and download it. Open the App store on your device-it will have it in the Que and Download it there! That simple. All the other Apps like the Kids and E Books are very reasonable in price. So remind yourself to log in daily and see if the Free App of the day is for you!

Review: The Handy Bryton Pick-Floss on the Go



 I was recently sent a packet of Bryton Pick Floss to review. I opened the envelope and thought "OK, this could be alright!" After sitting at the computer reading  y emails, i suddenly found myself flossing in my teeth with this over and over. It has a very flexible and soft edging and it works great even in the areas where my teethe are really close together. It is very handy. I immediately put the second one in my purse because I know I will be happy I have this one day when out and about!

  as you can see, it is safe to use with braces also!

You can purchase these online at Drugstore.com, Amazon.com, Dentist.net, BrytonPick.com , CVS.com and Walgreens.com or at the following retailers: Meijer, Drug Fair, Kinney Drugs, A&P, PathMark, DIK Drug and Superfresh. To stay up to date on what Bryton Pick is up to, follow them on Facebook.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.StumbleUpon

My 3 Year Old's Dream

See full size image
I was driving my son to Daycare this morning when he started this conversation:

A: Mommy, at night when my eyes were closed I was walking and walking and I saw you at the Chinese Food Place!
Me: Um-what?
A: I was walking and walking then I found you!
Me: Oh! Did you have a dream you walked to the Chinese Restaurant?
A: NO! Ummmm...Yes!
Me: ?
A: I mean I was lost and Maddox (daycare friend) was with me and I could not find you. But I found you at the
     Chinese Food place and you gave me soup! But Maddox could not come in!
Me: Well, A you had a Dream. And if you were really lost, I would not be at the Chinese Restaurant eating! I
      would be out looking for you, right?
A: Yes! And Mommy...I want to go to that restaurant and eat that soup!
Me: You liked the soup, did you?

Later as I picked him up from Daycare...yes it continued LATER!

A: Mommy, can we go?
Me: Where?
A: To that Chinese Place.
Me: Really? Baby, that was just a dream.
A: But I want that soup!
Me: What kind of soup was it?
A: Umm..I Don't know...the one that has stuff in it!
Me: So....you want me to take you to the Chinese Food Restaurant that you found in your dream and order
    you the Soup with stuff in it?
A: Yup!
Me: Ya! Not sure I can do that for you bud!StumbleUpon

Cook'n Recipe Organizer Giveaway- $80 Value!

Cook'n Recipe Organizer Review and AWESOME Giveaway!

Cook'n Recipe Organizer


I have to say that cooking is not my thing. The reason I say that is that I do not know how. I lack creativity in that field! And to think I have a brother who is a successful Chef. It goes to show that once you start trying and reading recipes, that you just start to "Get It". However, it is overwhelming these days to keep track of recipes. With so many Magazines, Blogs, Websites- where do you begin? And what if I don't want to browse through 100 recipes to figure out what to do with that can of soup or leftovers? As a Chef, my brother has a program (YES! Even Chef's turn to tools similar to Cook'n Recipe Organizer). But my brother's is complicated. The Instructions are foreign and the average household could not comprehend and follow it. When I was chatting with him about how I am trying out the Cook'n Recipe Organizer, he agreed it is the closest thing to his program he has heard of and much simpler for someone like me (haha "someone like me!" funny!). Here is a short video that says it all:












Is that not the coolest?! So, since there is no dialogue because the video is visual and still says it all I will recap with words..here we go:
Open those cupboards and fridge door 20 times, when nothing jumps out at you then Load your Cook'n Recipe Organizer. Type ingredients you have and a simple list of recipes from all over the web matching your list comes up. Find one, CAPTURE it (it is a button that says Capture :-) and it will grab the recipe and picture and leave out extra unnecessary page words. Grab it and edit it-can change serving size to fit your needs and watch measurements auto adjust. Hit shopping List (it is a Button that says List..too easy :-) and it will allow you to check off the ingredients you already have and leave you with your shopping list of things you need AND that shopping list is organized into aisles within the store (Dairy/Soups/Meats, etc..). You can load the recipe into your Phone/device instead of printing list or recipe on paper. Take your device to the store for shopping list or to your counter to read the recipe! You can add your personal recipes, create chapters and order a bounded Cook Book to take to a printer for a Personalized gift for family of all your favorite recipes.

The only negative I have was the amount of time wasted sitting here trying to think of a negative! Really, I am in love with this. Not only will it allow me to experiment, but will save me so much money when shopping ingredients! 

Cook'n Recipe was very generous to offer 1 of my readers the program for their very own!! That is an $80 value! You will fall in love with it. AND you can get a 50% off discount (WOW!) HERE! 
Use code: mb-3sonshavei

Just enter in the Rafflecopter below and Good Luck! Please use Comments section to leave any info/entry names you feel are needed for me to verify your entry.
NOTE: Many have emailed me to say that their comments are not loading. If this is true for you then you may need to delete your Browser History and Cookies. Not doing this will cause you problems, not on just my blog. but other blogs as well. The fix is easy! Go to your Internet Options (either via Control Panel in your Start menu or from drop down tools bar on right side of browser), once in Internet Options, go to "delete Browsing History/Cookies"-Once deleted, restart your computer or sometimes all it takes is exit completely out of all Windows and re-enter into your Internet Connection. This is very common and you can Google :How to delete Cookies to find a ton of tutorials. I have to do this myself from time to time-maybe once every 3-4 months. HOWEVER, I have yet to have a problem (or other problems I used to have) since switching from using Internet Explorer to Google Chrome! Might want to use Chrome and see if it works better for you. I love it!

Go crazy Labeling all your Children's Items! Lovable Labels Giveaway.

                  


I was recently sent the Friendship Pack of Labels from Lovable Labels. I chose to get some in my Son's name and also made a pack for my Mom who is a Third Grade Teacher. The packaging was so adorable and every item was tucked in its own creative packaging. I immediately walked around finding items to label..my son's LeapPad, his Alphie, his Water Bottle, etc.. My mom was excited about her labels. She is 1 class in a Pod of 2 and all hers and the other Teacher next to her are always reclaiming each others items that end up in the wrong area. My mom said she knew EXACTLY what items she would label right away. 
They have Clothing Iron-on Labels, She Labels, Coat Tags, Luggage Tags, Metal Tags, Adorable Allergy and Kids ID Bracelets, Office, Recycling and Spice Labels to name a few. The list goes on and on!
Here is what came in the Friendship Packet below



The BEST Part of all is Lovable Labels has generously supplied us with a pack of "Friendship Pack" for one lucky winner!  Thanks, Lovable Labels!

Are Your Blog Comments not loading? It can cost you Giveaway Entries!

I have had a few emails from my posts or Giveaways where comments will not load. Does this sound like you?

You want to leave a comment-most crucial is when it is required for a Giveaway entry and the page freshens and your comment does not load. The fix is simple. It should work for many of you unless you have some other issues happening!

Go to your Internet Options!
   -Can get there via Control Panel in Start Menu or drop down from Tools Icon in your browser (the icon that
      looks like a wrench for most)
   - Click on Delete Browser History and Delete Cookies
   - In  the General Tab-under Home- you will see a Browsing History Section-Click Delete
   - Restart your Computer (sometimes all you have to do is exit all your Internet windows & go back in)
   - It should work now!

If you want an official tutorial, go HERE!

ONE MORE NOTE! Ever since I recently stopped using Internet Explorer and went with Google Chrome. I no longer have this issue and I no longer have a lot of loading issues I had with IE. Google Chrome is so easy to install-just Google it! and use that Icon to enter the Internet instead of the IE icon. I love it. My techy friend told me all the quirky issues I had around XMAS was because I am using IE which has been causing problems. I love it and it is flawless so far!StumbleUpon
