How to Be the Coolest House on Your Block this Halloween

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sam’s Club for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. We’ve never given out treats during Halloween, because we’ve always been the ones going door-to-door, but our three-year-old will someday outgrow the annual candy-gathering tradition. And when she does, you can rest assured we’ll be […]

Scary and Safe: Hitting the Streets on Halloween with Help from Stride Rite

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Stride Rite. I received products to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation.

Slow and Smoky with the Arby’s Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Arby’s for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Shower Power with the Waterpik Medallion Shower Head (One Commenter will Win a $100 Home Depot Gift Card!)

I’m not sure exactly when our guest bathroom became better than our regular bathroom, but it has. Better towels, better hand soap, it’s even got a better toilet.

Taco Casserole: McCormick Style (Win a Selection of Spices by Leaving a Comment!)

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of McCormick & Company for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: The best dinners are 1) Easy to make, 2) Affordable, 3) Delicious, and 4) Relatively healthy. If you can find a recipe that fits at least […]

Happy Starts With ALPO®: A Taste Test!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ALPO® Brand Dog Food for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. A few weeks ago, I wrote about my happy dog, Ali. Why is Ali so happy? No, it’s not because he’s spoiled rotten (which he is), it’s because he’s healthy. A big part […]

Trick or Treat! Orbit Value Packs Make Choosing Flavors Easy

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dollar General for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Halloween is still over a month away, but we’ve already purchased our three-year-old’s costume. For the first time, she chose her own costume and she had her heart set on being a witch.
