Some of you may remember my post about my obsession with party planning? I will fully admit I am a HUGE fan of creative, fun, and unique party ideas. I spend a great deal of time and effort and pour my heart and soul into making my kid's birthday parties a memorable one. With all the planning and crafting I rarely have time left over to make all of the food for our party guests. Since our oldest son's first birthday we've used Cub to help out in just this situation. We always know that Cub will supply us with fresh, fantastic, and tasty food for our friends and families. Their catering is by far our favorite. The fruit and vegetables are always incredibly fresh and so nicely arranged. The meat and cheese platters always impress our guests! Want another reason to shop at Cub®? How about a $4500 gift card?

Cottonelle® #LetsTalkBums #ad
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cottonelle. Let's talk WHAT? Yes, today we're talking bums (bottoms, rumps, back-sides, ba-dunk-a-dunks, tooshies, whatever you want to call them). You might be thinking this should be one of our After Hours posts but rest assured, we're not going to go that crazy! Cottonelle® is already one of our favorite brands of toilet paper. It's super soft to wipe with. Now they've come up with something even better...Cottonelle® Flushable Cleansing Cloths. In combination with their toilet paper, they make the Cottonelle® Clean Routine. I'll admit, I was bit skeptical about trying wet cloths on my bum. After all, isn't soft toilet paper enough? Aren't wet wipes for babies or kids who are potty training? I don't want to walk around with a wet bum after wiping! Au contraire mon frère, cleansing cloths are perfect for adults too! (Yes, suddenly I'm talking French while discussing my bum! Huh? I guess it's because the French … [Read more...]

Love Your Cub® Contest #ILoveMyCub #spon
Hubby and I just returned from a fabulous 5 day cruise to the Bahamas. It was a much needed vacation for both of us. I'll be writing a post about it soon! Unfortunately, Sunday was back to reality as the girls came home from Grandma and Grandpa's house, there was laundry to do, and the cupboards were empty. School started for us today so not only did I have to shop for regular groceries, I had to shop for things for Nutty to take for school lunch. What did I do to make things easier? I got out the Sunday paper and found the Cub® Foods ad! They have great back to school savings this weeks such as 5 for $5 on Lunchables! Score! Then I headed to their website and created a meal plan complete with recipes I found on their site! Back from vacation and back to school lunch shopping was stress free with Cub®! Want even more stress free grocery shopping with Cub®? Enter the "Love Your Cub® Photo/Video Contest for a chance to win a $4500 Cub® Gift Card! PRIZES: One grand … [Read more...]
Bethenny #CallingAllMyGirls Tour Recap
One week from today the talk show bethenny will premiere on TV and we couldn't be more excited! You bet we've got our DVRs ready to go (both to watch the show and to see if our confession made the cut)! As we mentioned earlier, part of the celebrations and advertising for bethenny included Bethenny Frankel's Calling All My Girls Tour. As bloggers, we were invited to attend the party in Minneapolis. It was more fun than we could have imagined! Neither of us have had the opportunity to get dressed up lately so that was the first exciting part of it. We have to admit, we think we looked pretty darn good on that pink carpet! We continued to look good through out the party too (despite having multiple glasses of champagne and cocktails!). Yes, we did require a sober cab after the party was over but it was girls' night and it was a blast! We were tired in the morning but thank goodness did not have hangovers as someone had to take care of the kids! Bethenny was way more … [Read more...]
Back to School Meals Made Easy with Relish (Sample recipe included!) #Spon
Last year we told you about meal planning made easy with Relish! We enjoyed them so much that we're here to remind you that your back to school meals can be easy with them too!! What is Relish? Here's how they describe themselves: A weekly menu planner aimed to help busy families put wonderful meals on the table every night. No sloppy casseroles or expensive kitchen blunders. Instead look for everyday food...with a gourmet twist. We can vouch for the fact that their meals are easy, made with normal, fresh foods, and definitely taste gourmet (even though they don't take the gourmet time or skill to make). As far as the planning part of it goes...It takes me 15 minutes to come up with a menu for the entire week including a detailed grocery list broken down by store aisle!! With slightly extra time, I can make a menu full of freezer meals for busy weeks. That's how easy Relish! makes menu planning! Vegetarian family? No problem. Picky kids? No problem. Having … [Read more...]
