A few weeks ago I shared with you all that we were headed to Maine to visit my family. We hadn’t been up in awhile and we wanted to be there to celebrate with my Grandmother for her 85th birthday. I’m really glad we had the opportunity, as we had the chance to visit with a lot of family at my Gram’s surprise party that I hadn’t seen in years.

Vacations in general can be expensive, but it has always seemed to me that trying to get to rural Maine is one of the most expensive places to which you can travel. While I was in college I remember trying to get a last-minute flight home for a surprise visit and the tickets were over a thousand dollars. Fortunately it wasn’t quite that expensive this time with a little advanced planning. Continue reading »

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Welch’s. I received product samples to facilitate my review, and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

It’s always interesting to me what memories you carry with you in life. Some of them are big, like your first trip to Disney World. And some of them are more mundane, like your favorite snack.

We recently were visiting my family in Maine, and we created a number of new memories. Bubbles reminds us frequently of some of her favorite moments from the trip: visiting the pumpkin patch, playing with her young cousins, and the little gift that my Mom would leave on the table for Bubbles to open each morning when she woke up.

This is a sponsored post on the Personal Shopper program. I am a Sears blogger, though all opinions are my own.

This is the time of year when people start to step up their shopping game. There are new looks for fall, a winter wardrobe that needs to be thought about (especially if you live someplace that gets snow), great new product releases in the home entertainment world, and multiple holidays that all inspire changes to home decor. It’s exciting, but can also be a little overwhelming.

If you’re not someone that really enjoys shopping, or if comparing prices and styles across multiple websites leaves you frazzled, then you may want to consider the Sears and Kmart Personal Shopping program. Using a personal shopping expert is a free service for Shop Your Way rewards members (which is also free) and it gives you access to folks who will do the research and comparing for you. These shoppers know the Sears and Kmart brands and provide you with great advice on quality shopping purchases.

Now, if you’re someone who does love to shop (like me!), instead of using the Personal Shopper service you might consider signing up to be a Personal Shopper. You’ll be able to share your expertise with friends and family and when they make qualifying purchases from Kmart, Sears or Land’s End, you’ll earn commission! If you’re someone that people turn to for recommendations, anyway, why not get paid for it? Everyone could use a little extra money before the holidays and this is one way to earn it while doing something you enjoy.

If that sounds like you, sign up to become a Personal Shopper and get started helping people find products they’ll love.

This post on healthy lunch ideas is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Lean Cuisine, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HonestlyGood #ad http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO

When you’re trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle one of the biggest roadblocks can be life itself. It often feels like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get all the necessities done, let alone anything extra. Things like the gym or getting a full night’s sleep sort of fall by the wayside.

One of the easiest ways that I’ve found to stay on track is to stock my freezer with frozen meals. Breakfast and lunch are both frequently a “lite” or healthy entree that I can pop in the microwave. They’re huge time-savers and you can’t beat the portion and calorie control that a prepackaged meal provides.

We received a Disney Princess & Me Jewel Edition Belle in order to facilitate our review. No additional compensation was received and all words and thoughts are my own.

My husband thinks I put her up to it (I don’t), but Bubbles randomly starts running around the house yelling, “I do, I do, I DO want to go to Disney!” She then tells us a list of all the friends she wants to meet while there: Minnie & Mickey, Tinker Bell and the fairies, and, of course, the princesses. Kind of hard to deny that enthusiasm!

While we can’t hop down the road to Disney World right now, we can create opportunities to play with her friends while at home. Last month Disney had an “I am a PRINCESS weekend” on the Disney Channel. If you missed it, don’t worry. There’s lot of princess goodness scheduled for the rest of the year.

In addition to watching Princess movies like Tangled and Cinderella on the Disney Channel or on DVDs, we also like to play princess. Bubbles has a tiara that she likes to wear, as well as a fancy “princess skirt” made of tulle. She then sends her little princess and prince friends off on fun adventures in her castle – like when they all received puppies to take care of, went to a ball, or even when they’re just having naptime (“Shh, mama, the princesses are sleepy”).

Now, though, Bubbles has a big princess friend to play with. Recently a Disney Princess & Me Jewel Edition Belle came to live with us. At 21″ high, she’s not quite life-sized but she’s pretty close. Continue reading »
