What most people don’t know about me is that I’m very self-conscious about my skin.  Growing up and even now I suffer from acne and my face has always been what’s held me back so to speak.  Over the last couple of years I’ve noticed that my face needed a deep down cleansing or spa treatment because of dead skin cells but that isn’t something that I’m willing to spends hundreds of dollars on.  I was recently contacted by SkinCareRx to see if I wanted to review the Personal Microderm System and I’m sure you can imagine my excitement when it arrived at my doorstep.  I was like a little girl at Christmas as I opened the box and pictured what I hoped the system would do for my face.

The Personal Microderm System includes:

• 1 Personal Microderm
• 6 exfoliating discs (2 green and 4 blue)
• 1 electric cord (Standard U.S. Outlet)
• 1 facial cap
• 1 body cap
• 1 reusable filter
• Instructional DVD
• Pamphlet

Since receiving the SkinCareRX Personal Microderm System, I’ve been able to use it twice. I would have liked to use it more, but the instructions say that once a week usage is ideal and I’ve only had it for two weeks. To be honest, I was quite nervous about using it but after watching the DVD that comes with the system, I felt confident enough to give it a try.

The Personal Microderm System is practically a personal microdermabrasion treatment without the cost of a professional treatment and the hand-held device uses the same aluminum oxide crystals that the professionals use. There is a learning curve in using the Personal Microderm System but watching the instructional DVD gives you all you need to use it correctly.  I did a short little video using the system so you could see just how easy it is.

I’ve never really been one to use product on my face, besides a cleanser, because I’ve always had problems with acne.  I think because of that my skin was desperate for some tender-loving care.  After just one use of the Personal Microderm System, my face was noticeably smoother to the touch.  My skin even looked a bit healthier.  I’ve never had any professional treatments done and after using this system, I don’t think I’ll have to. My acne has seemed to improve in just the short 2 weeks I’ve been using the system.  I’m looking forward to what the next few weeks will bring while using the system.

The system comes with two different size discs, one for the face and one for the body.  I’ve only used the system on my face so I’ve only used the smaller discs.  Even with the small disc, I find it hard to get around and on my nose. The system can’t get a good suction so therefore it doesn’t really work correctly in that area.  Another thing to point out is the discs are only good for 2-3 uses.

I’m loving the SkinCareRX Personal Microderm System and I’m totally amazed at what it has done for my skin so far.  If you’re looking for home microdermabrasion kits, I’d definitely recommend this one!

Over the past few years I’ve been a fan of Coca-Cola’s reward program, My Coke Rewards.  Through the years I’ve redeemed my points for free sodas, movie tickets and even got a free Nintendo Wii and DS!  Coca-Cola has implemented a campaign this summer that includes both fun in the sun, saving money and helping our earth. Over the next few months, Coca-Cola is leveraging My Coke Rewards to help raise awareness for and preserve our nation’s parks. Several years ago, My Coke Rewards announced its partnership supporting The National Parks Foundation and this summer Coca-Cola is going all out in creating a call to action for Americans to ‘get out and play’ in our national parks. They have also created a unique opportunity for us to ‘give back to the land we love’.

Coca-Cola is holding a summer sweepstakes offering daily prizes as well as one grand prize all centered on our country’s most beautiful national parks. Here are some details on the prizes available:

• Daily Prize: Family Adventure to one Park (10 different parks) or Summer Gear Prize Pack (Theme: Camping, Beach or Backyard fun)
• Grand Prize: Win your family a ‘VIP National Park Adventure’ to one of our country’s’ most beautiful parks; Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Grand Canyon, Zion; accompanied by Super-Ranger Guides

To help raise awareness and get people donating, I have a ‘Day in the Park Prize Pack’ courtesy of My Coke Rewards to giveaway!

Giveaway:

The prize pack is valued at $100 and consists of a Coke Summer T-shirt made from 100% recycled PET plastic, an oversized beach towel (which can naturally be used for lounging in the park) and 25 My Coke Rewards points which can be spent on rewards, of course, donated to The National Parks Foundation (or another worthy cause of choice).  In addition, five other winners will each receive 25 My Coke Reward points.

How to Enter:

Simply visit My Coke Rewards and leave me a comment below letting me know how you would spend your reward points!

Here in Texas we get some super hot weather for pretty much most of the year.  We try to do our best to keep cool and one way we do that is with ice cream.  Thanks to Mom Central, I was sent free product coupons so that I could try Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream and some of you will be able to win one so you can try them too.  Pretty cool, right?!?

I sent the hubby out to the store with our free product coupon and let him make the decision which Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream he would bring home. With six rich and creamy flavors to choose from, I didn’t want to make that decision. Flavors include Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip plus sandwiches which are always my first choice. I was happy to see he chose the Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Vanilla Fudge Brownie sandwiches.

These lovely little creations of goodness were not in my house more than a hour before I had to dig in.  Seriously, they are delicious.  What is even more incredible is that there are only 160 calories and 4 grams of fat per sandwich. I thought about just eating two and making a meal out of it.  Okay, not really, well really, but I had to talk myself out of it.  The fudge brownie complimented the smooth, creamy ice cream so nicely.  My only complaint is that the sandwich isn’t bigger.  It was gone before I knew it.

Buy:

You can purchase these amazing little treats at many grocery stores nationwide.

Giveaway:

Four (4) winners will receive a coupon for a free box of Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream!

Summer will be coming to an end soon and our schedules will once again be plagued with school activities.  Stouffer’s allows us to save time cooking by providing quality frozen entrees that can be placed in the oven therefore allowing us to do other things.  School nights around here are super busy and sometimes cooking dinner is out of the question.  So what will we do with our extra time?

Stouffer’s wants to help families get closer through regular family dinners, but without reliable housing it can be impossible.

My children are big gamer kids.  We have multiple gaming systems and in their spare time, if they aren’t playing outside, they’re enjoying indoor playtime on a gaming console.  One of the consoles we play most of our family games on is the Wii because it seems like the children enjoy it more and the games seem to be more family friendly.  We recently received a review copy of JumpStart’s newest game release, Get Moving featuring Brooke Burke.

First off, the last thing a mommy with a few extra pounds around the waist wants to see is a perfectly slender, adorable Brooke Burke when she turns on the TV.  Am I right mommies?

When you first start playing the game everyone will have the opportunity to create their character.  This part was really fun for my children.  You get to choose eye color, hair color, etc.  Once everyone has created their characters you can begin playing the game.

I played with my daughter and we went on a race on the beach.  The running part was easy, it was the trying to jump the hurdles that was difficult.  No matter what I tried, I just couldn’t get it right.  We also played Dodge Ball on the beach and that one was really pretty easy.  We then played Volleyball on the beach and while I thought it was easy, my daughter had a hard time with this one with the whole hand and eye coordination.

Since my children are a bit young for this game, I like that you can also play the game solo.  The game features 15 sports challenges that you can play in 11 exotic arenas.  Since I don’t go to the beach very often, I always play on the beach.  Before each game the lovely Brooke Burke will demonstrate how to play.  This is really helpful for the children.

I enjoyed playing Get Moving but I don’t think it’s a game for young children. My 4 and 7 year old children had a pretty difficult time and it caused more frustration than fun. If your children are older and they’ve played similar games then I think it should be okay.

Buy:

You can purchase Get Moving for a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Giveaway:

One (1) winner will receive a free copy of the JumpStart: Get Moving Family Fitness for the Wii!

If you were to look inside my pantry at any given time, I’m sure you’d spot at least one box of Nature Valley Granola Bars.  When I was asked if I’d like to try the new Nature Valley Granola Thins I happily said yes and stalked the UPS and FedEx guys until it finally showed up.

Nature Valley Granola Thins come in two different varieties which include dark chocolate and peanut butter.  After trying both varieties, my favorite is the dark chocolate!  These 100% natural granola squares are quite delicate and have a texture much like a graham cracker rather than the granola bar.  The bottom of each granola thin is layered with either creamy peanut butter or decadent dark chocolate. Each square is individually wrapped and only contains 80 calories per square. These have become my new favorite low calorie snack!  Hey, even the kids like them.

If you are a fan of granola then I really think you will love these. Each box contains 10 individually wrapped granola thins but somehow all mine disappeared.

I also wanted to share with you a recipe for a classic campfire favorite using Nature Valley Granola Thins – S’Mores!

Follow these easy steps to make S’Mores with Granola Thins.
1) Roast marshmallow over open flame until it turns golden brown.
2) Select two dark chocolate Granola Thins. Try (the peanut butter flavor as a tasty alternative. You can even use one of each!
3) Place the marshmallow inside the two thins, granola side out, and enjoy!

Buy:

You can purchase Nature Valley Granola Thins for around $3.59 per box depending on your market.  At the Walmart SuperCenter by me they are only $2.88 per box.

Giveaway:

One (1) winners will receive a Nature Valley Granola Thins Prize Pack that includes a nature-inspired mug, mouse pad, desk calendar and both Nature Valley Granola Thins varieties!

Over the last 7 years we’ve had our fair share of baby dolls in this house.  All of the dolls that my daughter currently has are all girl dolls just based on clothing and hair.  Since we do have 2 boys in the house, they play with sissy’s dolls but we never even thought about buying a boy doll or unisex doll because quite frankly it hasn’t been a problem and my boys don’t mind playing with the girl dolls.  But I was recently introduced to Baby GoGo, a doll by Little Sib, that is basically a non-gender specific doll.  The doll is clothed in gender neutral clothing, has no hair and is designed so that both boys and girls will feel comfortable playing with it.

Like I mentioned earlier, my boys have no problem playing with girly dolls so there wasn’t much of a need for a gender neutral doll.  However, I do think it may be a good idea if you have a boy who will not play with a girly doll.

The doll itself is a pretty standard 13″ doll appropriate for toddlers and preschool children.  It is a tad darker than most of the dolls we already have which is a nice change.  The eyes open and close and the legs and arms are move-able only at the shoulder and hip joints.  The torso is soft and fills like it’s filled with soft material.  As you can see from the pictures above, the doll comes with a hat, sleepy time outfit and a soft blanket that is attached to the outfit.  I like the blanket being attached so I don’t have to worry about it getting lost.

We also received the coordinating diaper bag and it was a big hit with my daughter.  She’s the one that really plays with the diaper bag but she uses it as a purse…go figure.  It’s made of 100% cotton canvas and also includes a little cotton diaper for baby.  It’s not a must have to enjoy the new baby, but it is a cute accessory.

I think the Baby GoGo Baby Doll is really cute and my children enjoy playing with it.  The book, Baby GoGo Goes Home, that comes with the doll is an adorable little read.  I do think the price tag is a little high for my liking but that’s probably just because I’m frugal.

Buy:

You can purchase the Baby GoGo Baby Doll for $39.99 and the coordinating diaper bag for $24.99 online or at your local specialty toy shop.

Giveaway:

One (1) winners will receive a Baby GoGo Baby Doll valued at $39.99!

When my children were babies, I used the popular baby detergent that comes in the pink bottle.  I used it because really that is all I knew.  I totally wish I would have known about all Free Clear when they were younger.

all Free Clear contains no dyes, no perfumes and no preservatives which makes it perfect for babies and people with skin sensitivities.  I received a bottle of all Free Clear for review and I’ve been using it for the last couple of weeks.

Thankfully my family doesn’t suffer from any skin allergies, but sometimes I just want clothes that aren’t overridden with scent and all Free Clear does the job perfectly. It cleans our clothes well, but instead of coming out of the dryer smelling like a bunch of roses, the clothes come out just smelling clean.

You can feel safe using all Free Clear because it is the #1 choice of moms, #1 recommended by allergists and #1 recommended by dermatologists for those with sensitive skin.

Buy:

Head on over to the all Free Clear Facebook page and “like” them for a coupon good on your next purchase.

Giveaway:

One (1) winner will receive a free bottle of all Free Clear plus Kerry Colburn’s book “How to Have Your Second Child First”.

This summer has been full of travel for me and my family.  We’ve gone on weekend trips pretty much every weekend this summer.  With 3 children under the age of 7 at times it can be difficult.  Evenflo surveyed 1,000 parents from around the country with children under the age of 5 and here are some of the survey statistics:

• More time on the road often puts safety concerns into high gear. And it can trigger tears of frustration – in kids AND parents.
• The biggest worry parents have when taking car trips is that their young child will be harmed in a collision (76%).
• Integral to a safe ride is proper car-seat installation, but a full 65% of mothers and 72% of fathers encounter challenges when installing car seats.
• Some 48% of parents worry about keeping their child entertained while in their car seat.
• Attending to a baby while driving causes 38% of parents to miss their exit once in a while, 12% to miss their exit often and 38% to get lost.
• 34% worry that their little Houdini will wiggle out of the car seat
• 32% worry their child will have a temper tantrum
