P&G Stock Up and Save Event at Walmart with a Gift Card Giveaway!

April 17, 2015Contests, Shoppinggiveaway, P&G, WalmartAlicia

The Walmart gift cards and information have been provided by P&G.

Spring has sprung in Atlanta and in spite of spreading a thick layer of pollen on every surface imaginable, Spring is the time when the kids spend the most time outdoors. Paper towels, paper towels, paper towels… that’s one of our staples during Spring. Whether we use them to wipe pollen off Madelyn’s sandbox, the swings, or blow noses when tissues aren’t available outside, paper towels can be found around every corner of our house and outdoor spaces.

What else does Spring mean for our family? Well, this goes along with the playing outside I mentioned earlier… laundry detergent galore! We recently stocked a shelf system in our garage with 4 HUGE things of Tide Coldwater amongst other often used items. It seems during the spring and summer months we do three times the laundry as in winter. It makes sense seeing as how the kids are much more active outdoors and get dirty and stinky.

Thanks to Walmart and P&G teaming up for Walmart’s Stock Up and Save event, I was able to seriously stock up.. and save.. on some of our favorite staples this week!

Shopping at Walmart during the Stock Up and Save event allows me to stock our shelves with must-have staples and makes it so that I don’t have to go to the store as often.. hallelujah! Walmart already offers everyday low prices so the rollback events like this one are just another way to get the most of your money.

There’s still time to get these in time for a Christmas or New Year’s gift! Order Audio-Technica’s SonicFuel In-ear Headphones on Amazon.com with your Prime account and get free 2-day shipping!

Gone are the days when earphones with a price point of less than $100 are expected to not provide deep bass and great sound. Audio-Technica’s SonicFuel™ In-ear Headphones are the answer to many-a-teens request this Christmas with their affordable price of just $49, bass boosting sound, 360˚ rotating eartip, and in-line volume and microphone controls.

Music is likely your teen’s energy for life. Listening to podcasts gets me through long days whether it’s while I work, while doing laundry, or waiting in the carpool line. My 15-year-old son gets his chores done quicker when he listens to music while doing chores or yard work, just like you and I might burn more calories if we listen to our favorite jams from the 80’s while working out. 🙂 SonicFuel™ headphones are specifically designed for active, daily use, to power your teen forward by delivering extraordinary comfort, style and an immersive listening experience that never sounds artificial, processed or filtered. Just pure sonic goodness for the high-octane tempo of your life.

The ATH-CKX5iS SonicFuel in-ear headphones feature stay-in-place fit, providing unique comfort in addition to optimal sound. The C-tip configuration nestles within the ear where it locks in place for extra stability. A 360˚ rotating eartip adjusts to the unique angle of your ear canal for personalized fit and improved sound isolation.

You can adjust the size and fit to your ear, making a HUGE difference when it comes to comfort and sound quality. The ATH-CKX5iS headphones offer 4 different size eartips (XS, S, M, L), and three c-tips (S, M, L) for a customized fit designed to stay in place, no matter what you’re doing. The unique eartips rotate a full 360° to automatically align with the angle of your ear canal, directing the sound towards your inner ear to avoid pressure and discomfort, while the c-tips fit the curvature of your ear for maximum stability.

Thanks to an in-line microphone and controller, the ATH-CKX5iS headphones function as an extension of your or your child’s smartphone allowing you to quickly answer a call, then return to your music. No more excuse for not answering your call or text while your teen is listening to music!

If you, your partner, or your child love listening to music, podcasts, and being able to talk on your smartphone without holding the phone to your ear for a long period of time, Audio-Technica’s SonicFuel™ In-ear Headphones are a perfect fit for you!

Every year around the beginning of November, once Halloween has passed, I think I’ll get creative and make things to give friends and family for Christmas.

December is here now and I just want to do what’s easy. What’s easy, for me, is buying gifts.

If you are absolutely in love with one particular card, by all means get a set of that card, but with the variety of designs Masha D’yans offers there’s no reason you shouldn’t get each of your child’s teachers, athletic coaches, friends, your coworkers, and family members a unique card, chosen specifically for them!

Great American Cookies Introduces NEW! Fudge Brownie Made With M&M’s®!

March 23, 2014Contests, Food and DrinkGreat American CookiesAlicia

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Great American Cookies.

I haven’t baked a birthday cake for my husband or son in years. Every year they both request a cookie cake from Great American Cookies in lieu of birthday cake. I don’t mind because I don’t have to make a cake or clean up after making it either! Not a bad deal. I have a feeling that my husband might ask for brownies for his birthday this year. You might think that’s strange but once you see and taste Great American Cookies NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s®, you’ll know why!

Great American Cookies added something new to their already scrumptious line of cookies, cookie cakes, and other delightful treats! They already offer a variety of brownies, but if you’re like us, you are going to drool over their newest addition, the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s®.

I had the opportunity to try the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s® at a Great American Cookies party hosted by Stacie from The Divine Miss Mommy, along with Piera from Jolly Mom, Dianne from Suburbia Unwrapped, and Kesha from We Got Kidz and her adorable son. I think I was the first of the gang to grab a brownie. The other ladies were super-patient but I couldn’t hold back. I’m pretty sure I made a sound when I bit into the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s®. I wish the internet was scratch n’ sniff or even better, scratch n’ eat. I would hook you up with a brownie right here from this screen!

Here are just two situation during which the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s® is perfect!

Awesome Birthday Cake Alternative
There is something about kids and M&M’s®. It might be all the bright colors or it might be something about candy that melts in your mouth without leaving their hands stained bright colors. The Great American Cookies’ NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s® is sure to be a hit at your child’s next birthday party. The combination of a cookie cake and a platter of the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s® is a winning combination and will leave all the kids jumping with joy. As if you need another reason to order from Great American Cookies, if you let them make your cookie or brownie cake instead of making it at home, you don’t have to clean the kitchen!

Team Sports Snack
Team sports offer a great opportunity for your child to learn to be part of a team. Often player’s parents are responsible for bringing snacks for the team after a practice or game. My kids have to play a big part in that because otherwise, I bring bananas and apples and bottled water for everyone and apparently that’s not what the kids are looking for after a game. If you bring a platter of the NEW! Fudge Brownie made with M&M’s®, you will surely be the team’s favorite parent. Hooray! Whether the kids need encouragement after a lost game or to celebrate a win against their biggest rival, these rainbow colored brownies are sure to get them excited!

TASSIMO T55 Review + A Quick Giveaway! {Enter through 12am Jan. 15}

January 10, 2014Contests, Food and Drink, GiveawaysCoffee, giveaway, TASSIMOAlicia

My husband, the kids and I love hot chocolate and I love a good cup of coffee that tastes like hot chocolate. 🙂 I was excited to be given the opportunity to try out a single cup coffee brewer by TASSIMO when they invited me to ‘Unlock a Perfect Cup this Holiday Season’ by sending me one of their new T55 brewers and a selection of T-disc’s to try out with it. I tried so many kinds of coffee in a span of a few hours that I was ready to conquer the world. (Don’t worry, I took sips of the different flavors and shared with my husband. I didn’t drink like 9 cups of coffee.) Then the kids got home from school and I was conquered.

The Tassimo T55: Easy High-End Brewing at a Mid-Range Price

While there are many high-end, feature-rich coffee makers available on the market, most tend to be extremely pricey for the average consumer. What’s more, many tend to be highly specialized and really excel at only one or two tasks. In truth, the vast majority of hot beverage fans are looking for a machine that’s a bit more flexible and middle-of-the-road. If you find yourself in that camp, the Bosch Tassimo T55 is more than worthy of your consideration.

Main Features & Functionality

For such a versatile appliance, the Tassimo T55 is surprisingly compact at just 8.7 inches deep, 11.26 inches wide and 11.14 inches high. Like its competitors from the likes of Keurig, the T55 boasts instant heat-up and zero power consumption on standby. It also features a removable 68-oz. reservoir fitted with a Mavea Maxtra filter for the purest water possible. In addition, it has a height-adjustable drip tray. Operating at 1300 watts, it can heat beverages to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Tassimo T55 In Action

The real magic of the Tassimo T55 lies in its propriety T-Disc pods. To make the perfect chai latte, hot chocolate or cappuccino, just insert the appropriate T-Disc and press a button. The T55 will read the barcode on the T-Disc and adjust water quantity and temperature to ensure a perfect brew. A simple +/- button allows users to make their beverages stronger or weaker as they may prefer. I prefer a weaker coffee so I’m not found cleaning the carpet and painting the walls while my husband likes a stronger taste.

Overall Quality and Value

In terms of build quality, the T55 is a particularly rugged machine. Its attractive exterior is rather minimalist but sports chrome elements that make it look more expensive than it actually is. As a whole, this machine just feels incredibly solid and put up with quite a bit of use in a short period of time even at the hands of my 14 year old. I heard no complaints from the T55 so all is good! In the bargain department, the T55 is fairly competitive with other single serving coffee makers currently available. While the T-Discs are a bit expensive, they save quite a bit of time when you’re in a rush.

The Verdict

If you’re looking for a brewing powerhouse that can quickly churn out a variety of hot drinks that every member of the family can enjoy, the Tassimo T55 is a safe bet. Besides a high degree of versatility, the T55 boasts convenience and value as additional bona fides. Few coffee makers out there can match its combination of value and beverage quality. Pound for pound, it’s one of the best single serving machines you can buy.

Where to buy the TASSIMO T55
