Kohl's Has All Your Back To School Needs That Kids Will Love #sponsored

I am participating in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Kohl’s.   I received a promotional item to facilitate my review.
A few weeks ago, we met Josiah's 1st grade teachers for the during open house and were ready to get into school mode. This means many things for our family, including buying new clothes for the school year. Since we are on a budget, I shop for great deals, but I also want quality clothes that will stand the test of time. That's why I love shopping at Kohl's! They have everything we need not only for Josiah, but for my younger son as well as my husband and myself. After buying Josiah some new clothes, we can head right over to the shoe department for new socks and shoes. They have all the popular brands, so Josiah is always excited to check them out.

What excites me the most is using Kohl's Cash coupons! Yes, I said the magic word: COUPONS! When you purchase $50 worth of items at Kohl's (in-store or online), you automatically receive $10 in Kohl's Cash to use on your next purchase. Plus, if you have a Kohl's charge card like we do, you can save even more. They often send some great coupons for percentages off your purchase. These can be used during specific dates and you can still get Kohl's Cash.
Josiah on his first day of school with his new backpack and shirt from Kohl's!
Whenever we go, I always have my Kohl's Cash and coupon in hand. Once I even had a 30% off coupon and couldn't wait to see how much I would save. This year Josiah knew he would need a backpack for school and when he saw a Skylanders backpack at Kohl's, he had to have it! I purchased all of Josiah's back to school clothes and his backpack for a little over $100 and saved close to $100. Saving so much money is an incredible feeling! Not to mention, my husband can't complain about me shopping in the future since I have more Kohl's Cash to save even more money. There are always clearance racks around the store, so I always check those out first and have even bought off-season clothes before for less than $2 a piece. I just buy one size up for the kids and hang them in the closet until the next year. When clothes are priced so low, I have to buy them!
The weather was cooler today, so Josiah wore his new fall attire from Kohl's!
Not only can you find great deals and receive Kohl's Cash for your purchases in-store! You can also get both online at Kohls.com, too! I've found some great deals there as well and they often have items that aren't available in my local store. I love being able to see other outfit selections!

Show Off Your Unique & Fun Finds Via the New Finds App

Growing up in Athens, Georgia, I cannot tell you how often I found unique and fun items in the downtown shops. Back then, I would share my finds my purchasing the items as gifts for special occasions. Now that I am a blogger, I have the opportunity to share many finds with all of my followers. Let me just start out by saying I LOVE to shop! I can easily waste an hour walking around Target or the mall, just looking at all the new and interesting items for sale. I get so excited when I find great products for our family and I enjoy sharing my finds with others just as much. This is why I was so excited to learn about the new app Finds, which is available for free in the iTunes store!

What's so awesome about Finds? I easily uploaded the app to both my iPhone and my iPad since I usually have one of the two with me when shopping. Then I made my account and was immediately ready to share my finds! Once you have your account (just by adding your name and email address), you can do several different things:

Share your finds- Click the + symbol to take a picture of your unique find. You can edit the picture, add information about the item and also what you think about it. We shared three of my new most favorite products I recently received and purchased. Each time I posted about an item, it immediately shares them with everyone else who has the app. Plus, it automatically links the item up to a website where others can purchase the item! Isn't that ingenious? Here are my first three finds:
My first three finds of many to come!
I found this view via clicking on my profile. By clicking on one photo, I can pull up the information about it. These are my favorite new finds and I couldn't wait to share them. The first is a Skip-Hop book bag for my son Liam. He absolutely loves this backpack and takes it everywhere with him. The pair of shoes is by Zipz and, true to its name, the top of the shoe can zip on and off, so you can add new tops designs on top of the soles. The last one is something I just bought this weekend, the new Knock Knock Clump-O-Lumps stuffed animals that have interchangeable parts. Just like the shoes, each of these animals has 3 zippered parts that you can change around to create your own new animal. I bet you've never seen a shark-frog before, but now you can! Isn't that cool?

Share your thoughts- You can not only share your thoughts about your own finds, but you can comment on the finds other people add! You can also add your favorite items to your own Wishlist for future reference. This way you can keep up with all your new finds for shopping or sharing with others at a later time.

Find some new finds- Click on the "Finds" button to discover what great finds others have found. Someone posted about Buncha Blocks earlier and they look perfect for my little boys who love to build. There were also some adorable rain boots someone added. In the description it also mentioned where she found them and that they are on sale. Those are my kinds of rain boots. All I had to do was click on the "Find" button on the product picture and I was immediately transported to the website where I could purchase them at great prices.
Rylee would love these boots!
Get inspired- By looking at all the products people have posted on the Finds app, I have found some great ideas for future birthdays and special occasions. Josiah's 6th birthday is coming up in June, so this is really the perfect place for me to find some inspiration. Plus, he can even look through the finds, too, and let me know what he likes!
My Zipz Shoes Find!
I enjoy sharing my finds and am just like a kid in that I still get excited when I find something new and fun, especially when it is something for my kiddos. My favorite thing about the Finds app is that I can see what others have found. I do a great deal of shopping online, so this makes finding new items not only fun, but easy. Plus, I saved money on the rain boots since the link went to a sale website. So, I'm thinking maybe this app can help me find new gift ideas and maybe even save me some money on the gifts.

Do you love shopping as much as I do? If so, the Finds app is definitely for you! This is a fun app for anyone and is so simple to use that even my computer illiterate mom could figure it out.  Even after using the app for the past few days, I've grown addicted to it and love checking in to see what else has been added. I love that I can use this app anywhere- on-the-go, at a store, or even at home!

A Chance to Win a $100 Visa Debit Card on Finds every week!! 
As if you needed more incentive to try out this app, Finds is giving away a $100 Visa Gift Card every week to a random user that not only has posted that week, but also has at least 3 followers. 


I participated in a campaign for Mom Central Consulting on behalf of the Finds mobile app. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Scooby-Doo Mystery Workshop For Last Minute Present Ideas

 Josiah is a huge Scooby-Doo fan and has just about all the movies and many of the episodes on DVD. When we are on the road during the holidays that's what he usually wants to watch in the car. He also has several Scooby-Doo toys, including the Mystery van and the character figures, which are in use pretty much every day. It's so funny because he loves playing with knights and sets up the battleground with Scooby-Doo right in the middle of the action!
This year Christmas has seemed to come out of nowhere. I cannot believe it is less than a week away! Needless to say, I keep thinking of presents I need to buy last minute and am stressing a little. However, I have a great suggestion for those who love Scooby-Doo. Have your children visit the new Warner Bros. Scooby Mystery Workshop site where kids can customize their own holiday gift list of awesome Scooby Doo items. The site offers Scooby-Doo games, toys, costumes, bedding and much more to help Mom and Dad solve the holiday shopping mystery.

One your child has picked their favorite Scooby-Doo items, they can print or email the list to a parent or Grandma! In addition to helping with gift selections, the site also provides additional fun for kids, such as helping The Gang pick out gifts for each other through an interactive poll. For instance, what should Scooby get Daphne for the holidays? They can also compete to win fun prizes or play games with Scooby-Doo and Shaggy! Check out the Scooby Mystery Workshop today.



I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Scooby-Doo. I received a product sample to thank me for participating.

Kmart Friends & Family Sale This Sunday, November 4th

We have always been huge Kmart fans. I remember shopping as a kid with my Grandma and she'd run every time the blue light started flashing for a sale. Now that I'm older an can appreciate a good sale myself, I realize why she loved Kmart so much. They always have great deals going on, especially around the holidays.

Speaking of sales, this Sunday, November 4th, Kmart will have a Friends & Family Day Sale! What does this mean? You can receive 10% off ALL sale, regular and clearance price merchandise with a coupon! Just click here to print out your coupons and get ready to shop.

Now is the time to shop for holiday presents. I love the holidays, but I am not a fan of long lines and crowded stores. In the past I have admittedly procrastinated and am always kicking myself on Christmas Eve trying to get everything ready. Not this year, though! I am going to be at Kmart this weekend stocking up on toys for the kids. They have already been asking about Santa and have not hesitated to start requesting toys, so I have a pretty good list of items to buy this year.

Liam is very much a Chuggington Choo Choo fan and I am definitely going to look at the sets at Kmart. Josiah, on the other hand, loves action figures. This year I'll have the presents purchased, wrapped and under our tree early!

What about you? Will you get a head start on your holiday shopping at the Kmart Friends & Family Sale this Sunday? Maybe I'll see you there!

Start The Season Off Right With Designer Clothing From Cruise

I have always been interested in fashion and I absolutely love designer clothing. I even subscribe to magazines like W and Vogue just to see all the newest styles hitting the runway. Recently, I came across an amazing website, Cruise, which is a luxury designer clothing retailer in the UK! They have a huge variety of designer brands for both men and women. In another life I was definitely a rich socialite with a closet full of Jimmy Choos and Dolce & Gabbana dresses. The holidays are nearing and this means several parties must be attended, so I have to get some new clothes, of course, and I am searching Cruise for the perfect outfit!

I always wear dresses to our holiday parties, so I knew this is exactly what I was looking for. Women's Dresses on Cruise come in a variety of designer brands, colors and links, which means you can find the perfect dress for your body type. I fell in love with the gorgeous Alex McQueen Victorian Pink Lace Jacquard Pencil Dress and think it would be look great on me!
The one thing I love more than designer clothing is designer shoes, so that's what I picked out next. I cannot resist high heels, so I began my search through ladies footwear. With over 300 choices, I had my work cut out for me. I finally decided on a pair of black Gucci high heel shoes that will go perfectly with the dress and many other of my dresses in the future.
I am so excited about the upcoming holiday parties and cannot wait to show off my amazing ensemble. I also love designer jewelry, so my dress, along with a Vivien Westwood necklace and earrings, will make me feel like a princess and look like one, too.

Who is your favorite designer? Take a look at Cruise and leave a comment below telling me what your favorites are!

Finding the Right Bed For Your Home at Sueno Beds

When I was pregnant with Josiah, we were still in graduate school and lived in an apartment. Our bed was a small futon that was fine for our needs at the time. Being pregnant changed everything because I could NOT get comfortable on that tiny mattress and knew I needed a mattress that provided more support. We immediately started looking for new beds and mattresses, both of which can be found at Sueno Beds!

Now that we have an even bigger family and we are redecorating our home, I have remembered just how fun it is to shop for new luxury beds. I have wanted a King size bed and found a few that really match my tastes and the decor of our home. The Zocalo Toscana Bed, a beautiful luxury bed made of solid wood and scrolled metalwork. The Frank Hudson Belgravia Bed is also a favorite. Paired with the right healthopaedic mattress, this will be an amazing bed for our master bedroom.

Right now Josiah has a double bed mattress, but has needed a frame for a while. I was so excited to find upholstered beds on the Sueno website because I wanted a soft headboard since he is always bonking his head on ours. He picked out the purple Sueno Libby Fabric Bed. It is stylish and completely lined in fabric from top to bottom. Plus, it's his favorite color!
Picking the right bed for your home is very important because you want it to fit your other furniture, but you also want the mattress to be very comfortable. It's important to do your research and find a bed that's right for you! Take a look at Sueno Beds and see which bed suites your tastes!

Make This Summer Fun & Memorable For The Family With Target's "Big Honkin' Summer"


We always make the most of our summer vacation with the kids by planning activities, trips to the beach and more. Just last week we actually went to Myrtle Beach and had a blast! I want to make sure all of us have a great, relaxing summer away while having fun at the same time. I remember being a kid and some days were just plain boring. I couldn't wait to get back to school just to have something to do. That's why, even if we are staying at home for the day, we still play fun games, have arts & crafts time and more.

On the way to the beach, we made 2 stops for food and one stop at Target! That is, by far, my favorite place to shop and the perfect place to purchase everything we need for the entire summer! Right now Target is celebrating Summer with their "Big Honkin' Summer" promo. You'll find great deals on all the items needed to make this summer unforgettable! We bought sandals for the beach, a new swimsuit for my husband, snacks and a few beach toys while there. I'm pretty sure I could spend hours browsing the store if my husband let me. We always shop at Target before and during our trips as well as when at home.

We received an awesome activity pack from Target for the kids and boy did they LOVE it! There was so much for them to do that I we had no idea where to even start. We received the Kid Made Modern Printed Tape Set, Kid Made Modern Board Book Kit, Toy Golf Club with Ball Set, Giant Badminton Set along with everything needed to set up a lemonade stand! You should have seen the kids' eyes light up when they opened this box of goodies! We took the Badminton Set and Golf Club Set to the beach with us and the kids couldn't wait to give it a try. For the golf set, I dug holes in the sand so the kids could try hitting them in from all different directions. For only $2.99 at Target, it was a deal and something that was so much fun. Then the kids played badminton for over an hour! Be sure to check out Target's kids catalog with a huge list of fun products, activities and more.
Ry ready to play some badminton at the beach!

For rainy days and days that are so hot it's impossible to go outdoors, the Kid Made Modern Printed Tape Set and Board Book Kit are perfect. The Printed Tape Set is definitely my favorite because I'd never seen anything like it before. Kids can make wallets, bags and other items from masking tape! Isn't that so cool? The Board Book Kit allows kids to make their very own book from start to finish. Both of these are great ways to get that imagination going and keep those minds going. The kit included everything needed to make a creative and colorful book. Even our babysitter was intrigued and made one for the boys! Here's Josiah working on his book, sure to become a best-seller one day:



The book Emily, our babysitter, made!
We haven't had a chance to do the lemonade stand stuff just yet, but the kids are dying to give have their own little business. The entire set of items, including a banner, money box, sign, juice container and ice bucket, is all you need to get started besides the lemonade! Since we live up in the mountains (aka- away from civilization), there is no one to sell lemonade to, but we are going to take it to grandma's house next weekend for some fun.

This summer has been so much fun and we still have 3 weeks to go. I know the kids have had a blast and we've made some memories that will last a lifetime. I have definitely taken a great deal of photos. The great thing is that Target now has a Facebook app called the "Summer-izer", which allows you and the kids to upload your summer photos and add the "Big Honkin' Summer" icons to them. Then, you can either share them online or print at a local Target Photo Center.

How do you plan to make this summer fun and memorable for your children? Have a great summer and enjoy every minute! School will be back in session before we know it, so we have to make the most out of your vacation!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Target and received products to facilitate my review and thank me for taking the time to participate.

Reasons to Choose Products In Carton Containers

Moving to the mountains has really helped out family in many ways, including becoming more eco-conscious. We tried to do our part before, but living here is much different and forces a different way of living. We no longer have a trash service, which is actually a really great thing because it forced us to evaluate the kinds of things we purchase and how much waste we create each day.

Buying more items that are recyclable or reusable has definitely contributed to less waste and has also saved us money since we pay per $3 a bag to dump trash! We try to use items that are recyclable, but I have to admit I don't always purchase foods based on their containers. I went on a fridge hunt to see what containers were there and found out many things, including the fact that I really need to clean it out!
As you can see, it is full of just about everything and the kids have done a number on it, for sure! We have a variety of containers, many of which are recyclable or reusable, such as the glass containers. I sometimes freeze items and save them in glass jars, can my vegetables and we also save leftovers for another meal, which is why there are our own containers in there, many of which are made of recycled plastics. I see a few cartons there, but not nearly enough! The ones I see are the almond milk, soy milk and aseptic soy milk I use for baking.

The more I read about paper cartons, I realize we need to purchase more items with carton containers. Why? Because they are so eco-friendly! There are so many different items that come in cartons, including orange juice, milk, soy milk, sometimes packs of tomatoes, and much, much more!

Here are some interesting facts about paper cartons and why we should all use them more often:
  • Over 41 million households have access to carton recycling, and that number is on the rise. In addition, cartons are made from renewable materials – more than 70 percent of the carton is made from paper, all from trees from responsibly managed forests.
  • Packaging plays a very important role in keeping food and beverages fresh. The environmental impact of a package is just as important as the contents inside. 
  • Cartons are recyclable where facilities exist. The paper fiber contained in cartons is valuable. Recycled cartons are used to make products such as tissue, office paper, wall boards and other building materials.  To learn if your community accepts cartons for recycling, please visit www.recyclecartons.com or check with your local recycling program.
  • Cartons are made with renewable energy. More than 50 percent of the energy used to make the paper in Evergreen Packaging’s cartons comes from biomass.
  • Responsible forestry promotes new forest growth, and these forests help to diminish greenhouse gases. Forests remove carbon from the atmosphere and store it in trees. In the US, due to both increases in the total area of forest land and increases in the carbon stored per acre, an additional 192 million metric tons of carbon are sequestered each year through responsible forest management programs nationwide. This offsets roughly 11% of the country’s industrial greenhouse gas emissions, the equivalent of removing almost 135 million passenger vehicles from the nation’s highways.
Since we already recycle, I know that our area does accept cartons and yours probably does, too. If they don't, save them for arts & crafts projects with the kids! There are some cute ideas on the Evergreen website. If you do make a craft with cartons, you can submit a picture to be featured on the website, too! I also didn't know that cartons help protect the food from UV light that can decrease the nutritional value or that 70% of the paper used for cardboard cartons is from a renewable resource! There are so many reasons to use cartons that I just never knew before. See how much you know about cartons by taking the quiz on the website. I'll definitely pay more attention to the types of containers I purchase from now on. Will you?

Do your part to give back!
Please share the story about paper cartons and why others should use them. Why? To raise money for Habitat for Humanity! Evergreen Packaging will donate a whopping $15,000 when 1,500 combined tweets and Facebook posts using the hashtag #choosecartons have been made. Go to the website and click on some tweets there are make your own! It's simple and for a wonderful cause.

Don't forget to follow Evergreen Packaging on Facebook & Twitter to stay on top of all paper carton related news!


I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Evergreen and received a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Discount Codes Galore At Discount Reactor

Looking for coupons and discount codes has become a hobby of mine over the past few months. I love putting my budgeting skills to the test each month to see just how much I can really save. I haven't reached coupon-superstar status, but have reached over $150 in savings on purchases in the past! It's such a rewarding feeling and now I know never to purchase anything at retail price. There is just no reason for it, especially with Discount Reactor to help guide the way.

I used to search the internet for an hour looking for discount codes, free shipping and more! This is no longer the case because Discount Reactor offers a simple way to find all kinds of codes for many shops! At the top of the home page, you can click on categories from "for children" to travel, all just waiting to take you to a variety of savings. In the middle, the newest and freshest codes appear and at the bottom there is a list of the shops with the best codes to check out.

Since I want to find the best codes, I scrolled to the bottom and started searching. My son's birthday is this weekend, so I really need to find a few extra presents. I found free shipping codes for both One Step Ahead and The Disney Store, two of my favorites with toys both my children love. We all know how expensive shipping costs are these days, so free shipping codes can save a great deal of money.

Take a look at the coupons available at Discount Reactor and tell me which ones are your favorites! There are some great Father's Day gift ideas, including codes for The Chess Store and LobsterAnywhere.com! Since it is a relatively new website, expect Discount Reactor to continue growing over the next months. More and more codes will be added and you will be able to find even more great deals. I've already bookmarked the website and will be checking back often, but you can also sign up for their newsletter to keep up with deals, too.

Make #TysonGoodness Mini Chicken Sandwiches For Simply Delicious Snacks Your Family Will Love #CBias

My son had school today and, as usual, came home starving. I knew we'd have to eat a snack since it would be several hours before my husband returned from work. This was the perfect time to give Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches a try! If one kid eats, both of them have to, so it's perfect that the sandwiches are packaged in twos.

When at Walmart, we actually purchased everything we needed for a perfect lunch, small dinner or snack with the Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches. Since my husband is a huge chicken sandwich eater, I figured he would be more than happy to give these a try when he got home, too. At Walmart, they had 2 different types of the chicken sandwiches- with or without cheddar cheese. Since all of us in this house love our dairy, I sprung for the Minis with cheese! We had quite a shopping adventure at Walmart, which you can see more about on the CTM Google+ Photo Album!

I purchased Lay's BBQ Potato Chips to eat with the Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches. Those are Liam's favorites! Since the cheese was already on the sandwiches, I popped them into the microwave for less than 2 minutes, let them sit for a few minutes and they were ready for the boys to try. All of the directions are printed on each of the packages, which made things even easier. You just leave the sandwiches in the wrap, put them in the microwave and follow the directions. Simple!

Almost done!
Did Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches pass the taste test? Absolutely! Even my pick eater, Liam, gobbled his down without hesitation. Josiah did, too, and even asked to eat another one for lunch tomorrow. I was so happy to learn yet another quick and easy food the kids love. My husband also had nothing but good things to say about the mini sandwiches. Our entire family enjoyed eating them, but I think I got the most out of them-- an entire family fed for less than $6 and in only a few minutes. I also love how moist and fresh the sandwiches are. Since they are kept inside the packaging for cooking, the sandwich retains all of the moisture, so the bread is so soft and fluffy.
See the melted cheese? Delicious!
Like I said, with the holidays nearing, I have been so busy wrapping presents, sending Christmas cards and trying to get everything organized before the big day! I love for the kids to have a good breakfast, snack, lunch and dinner, but this has been tough and will be especially this week. Tyson has hit a home run with these Mini Chicken Sandwiches! Families will love how delicious they are and moms will especially love how quickly they are ready.

Are you ready to give Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches a try? Well, you will love the awesome deal going on at Walmart right now! Buy any 2 Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches and receive a $5 Walmart gift card!! Click HERE for all of the details. Unfortunately the Tyson Mini Chicken Sandwiches are not sold at all WalMart stores, so click HERE to locate one that carries them.

Add Beautiful Lounge Chairs To Your Home

We are moving into a new home in a few months and I told my husband it's time to get rid of our well-used furniture. It's been through so much with our two children and I'd like to actually get something not only functional, but pretty and decorative. Who wouldn't?

First, I want to add indoor lounge chairs to our living area. I'd love to have something I can relax in and that adds something to the room, for sure. Finding a quality indoor lounge chair is not as easy as it seems so, when you find the perfect chairs, you will definitely know!

Secondly, our outdoor furniture is close to 5 years old now! Time goes by so quickly. It's time to add new lounge chairs to our patio, especially since we spend so much time outside in the spring and summer months. No cheap plastic chairs for us! I want something that I can sit in and be comfortable, but also something I can lay in to get some sun. When I saw this chair, I knew it was the one for me!

Knock Knock Review & Giveaway

In 2002, Jen Bilik decided it was time to create her own unique gift and stationary products. Thus, Knock Knock was born with a mission to make their products smart, interesting and well-designed. If you appreciate intelligent items with wit and word-play, then Knock Knock is definitely for you.

I do most of the shopping in our household and, try as I might to keep everything organized, it's near impossible with 2 children, hundreds of coupons, and the list I left on the kitchen counter. Oops! Knock Knock offers such a variety of fun and useful notepads, including the All Out Of pads. I couldn't wait to try these out, believe me!

Knock Knock All Out Of Note Pads (Pack of 4)What is the All Out Of pad? It's a grocery list with a magnet on the back. Keep it on the fridge, mark off items as you run out, and be more prepared when going to the grocery store. There are spaces for those every-day items and extras spaces for those tofu turkey burgers and other random items you may choose to purchase on a regular basis. It's available in several colors, but I chose red.

The All Out Of pad actually ended up helping me organize more than I imagined it would. First, I made out my list. Then, I went through and marked the items for which I had coupons. This way I made sure I purchased the items and didn't have to sort through all of my coupons at the end of the shopping trip! Believe me, this saves a ton of time.

Kids' Night Out Bingo by Knock KnockI highly recommend the Knock Knock All Out Of pad. If you like those, take a look at the other pads, such as the Let's Pretend Play and Kid's Night Out Bingo to occupy kids and keep them happy on long car rides and boring nights.
