This is a sponsored conversation on behalf of the Huggies MomInspired Grant Program. All words and opinions are my own.

Have you ever been doing something and thought to yourself “this would be so much easier if only I had…”?  What if that thing you wish you had didn’t exist?  Does it pass from your mind, or do you start thinking about creating a product to meet that need?

If the latter sounds like you, then Huggies has a program you may find very interesting.  They are currently in the 4th year of their Huggies MomInspired Grant Program which provides awards of $15,000 to up to 12 people.  This money will allow the winners to further expand on that idea and work to actually produce that creative idea that will help make parents’ lives easier.

I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Lay’s. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

This summer has been filled with days that alternate between pouring-down-rain and melt-your-face hot.  But it hasn’t stopped us from enjoying lots of fun activities.  We’ve splashed in the pool, built castles in the sand, said hi to the animals at the zoo, visited the local farmers’ markets, and played games at a local carnival.  And that’s all just in a few weeks – there’s lots of summer left!

Lay's 75 Days & Sunny Photo Contest

Lay’s is celebrating this summer, too, and not just the carefree days of no school and warm weather.  They’re celebrating 75 years of being the perfect summer snack.  As part of that they are recreating iconic summer images using just Lay’s packaging.  Check out their Pinterest album to see all the cool images already shared.  If you’re a DIYer you might enjoy the tutorials on how to recreate some of the images, too.

Entertainment news is light this week, but here are a few movie clips and trailers for you!

The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger Movie Clips with Armie Hammer #LoneRanger

There are two cool videos now available that are part of a series of Lone Ranger featurettes.  The first is called “Spirit Platform” and the second is called “Cowboy Bootcamp”.  Both include interviews with mister Lone Ranger, Armie Hammer.  I anticipate more movie clips in the series before the July 3rd premier.  Maybe Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter will be featured!

This is a partnered post with Minted.  All opinions are my own.

New Children's Photo Stationery
You all know how much I love planning a party or even just a family night.  And if I can plan it around a theme – all the better.  So sites like Minted can keep me browsing for hours at a time.

If you’re not familiar with Minted they are a global community of independent graphic designers that create beautiful products.  They’re probably the most comprehensive site that I’ve found.  In addition to the cards, invitations, and thank you notes for weddings, birthdays, and births that you would expect, they also have journals, art prints, and stationary.
