I'm back with some exciting news!

Hi!
It has been quite a while since I have been able to post anything here! I missed you all. I will be working through past emails and getting back to everyone.
I would like to take this time to make a few announcements!

  • We will be having a baby in January! It will be our first boy!
  • This blog will be taking a somewhat new direction and all will be revealed in time... My hint: Less kid, more Mom!
  • I started a second blog as a result of my being unable to use this one. That blog will focus on kids!

I also want to say that one of the programs I am a part of has also undergone a makeover! Influenster is a fantastic place to find out about products, read real reviews from women like yourself and even try them out yourself! The new site is by invite only. So you can request an invite for this exclusive "party".
The newest part, which I love, is the new Influenster score! Scores are on a scale of 1-100 (mine is currently 65) and is based on a number of factors including social media activity, hoe valuable other embers think your reviews are and creating content on Influenster!
The benefits of becoming a member? Access to exclusive content, product reviews, and discussion within a community of tastemakers. The Voxboxes (product samples for you to review based on theme) are of course great! However, nobody is guaranteed "free stuff". This is a great active community where you can connect with other like-minded individuals with great incite and experiences to share! Check it out for yourself, you won't regret it!
You can check out my "Mom voxbox" unveil HERE, and products reviews from it HERE and HERE!

I'm glad to be back and I will be taking it slowly for a little while. Thank you for sticking with me!

Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway!

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

The Holidays will be here sooner than we think. One thing that we always consider is Layaway. I remember my mom using Kmart's free layaway plan when I was a kid. It makes it very easy to choose all of the items on your Holiday shopping list and pay for it slowly. Not only that, you don't have to find a place to hide everything because it is held at the store away from the snoopers in your house!

What I like best about Kmart's layaway plan is that it is different from the other major retailers. Other stores are only offering layaway for the holiday season, but you can put things on layaway at Kmart all year long! This is perfect for big birthday gifts, back to school shopping and of course holiday gifts!

Another thing that Kmart offers is online layaway shopping! That's right! You can shop from the comfort of your own home, make payments online and then pick up your layaway purchase at a local store! 

Take a look at the other differences between Kmart's layaway plan and those of Walmart, Best Buy and Toys R' Us:

What's even better? Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway! Do you remember last years anonymous "Layaway Secret Santa"? A very generous person started just paying off random peoples' layaway purchases and it started a fantastic chain of people showing that there is still a great generosity out there! Well, Kmart has decided to take it on this year! One layaway purchase PER STORE will be paid off (up to $500) EVERY WEEK until November 17th! That means every store will have a winner every week!

I've already starting my online layaway list:

For Charlotte:

For The Hubby:

 Of course this is just the beginning of my list! I really hope that my layaway purchase wins! You can click on any of the links above to be taken to Kmart's website for more details, rules and of course how to enter! Good luck to all of us!!

Summer Lovin' Sponsor Spotlight for Zoobies with a discount


In the Summer Lovin' giveaway hop, you have the chance to win a prize package worth $110! One of the fantastic sponsors for this prize is 
Zoobies make fun, convertible blankets and plush friends for all ages. They have a variety of products including Book Buddies, Duffel Dogs, Slumber Pets, Blankie Babies, Storytime Pals and I had the opportunity to review the Blanket Pet. 

My Experience:
We chose to review Zulu the Zebra. When we first opened the package we noticed how soft the fabric was! When the blanket is tucked inside we have a soft and squishable plush toy. All we have to do is undo the velcro straps and it becomes a soft pillow. Unzip the pillow to reveal the softest blanket you have ever felt! This is the most versatile product I have used in a very long time.
Taking care of Zulu is a breeze. the blanket is able to sip completely off and goes in the washing machine. We all love this Blanket Pet and at times it is hard to tell who it actually belongs to.

Connect with Zoobies:
You can check out the different plush friends online and for a great discount (20% off any product) with the code "Parenthood"
Find Zoobie on Facebook and Twitter as well!

Giveaway Details:
Zoobies is giving our winner a Blanket Pet as part of the whole package! This giveaway ends 6/20 at midnight EST. The winner will be emailed and will have 48 hrs from the email to respond to claim their winnings. Check out the other prizes in this package and ENTER TO WIN HERE!

I received a sample in exchange for this review. I received no other compensation and all opinions are mine and are 100% honest!
