Scotties & Kids In Need Foundation....

I am excited that Scotties Facial Tissues is launching a new campaign in partnership with the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF)!

According to KINF, students who go without the school supplies they need struggle with self-esteem and perform worse in school than students with adequate supplies?

Scotties wants to change that! They know it’s the little things in life that matter. Every child, no matter what their circumstances, should have the supplies they need to help them be engaged in learning. Pencils, crayons and paper may seem inconsequential to the learning process, but for a child in need, they can make a world of difference.

With the help of your kids, please create a video (no more than 45 seconds) having your child answer the following question…

“If you could put one thing in a backpack and then give it to a kid who needed help getting through the school day, what would that one thing be and why?”

This is a great opportunity to get your child(ren) involved in helping other kids, because for every video created and shared on social media (Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) using the hashtag #ReadySetSchool, a backpack filled with school supplies will be donated to a kid in need (up to 1,400 backpacks total) by Scotties! Our family thinks it is so awesome!

Here is my video below...

Now it's your turn! Have fun making your own video and tell all of your family and friends to do the same! 

Once your video is complete, please upload it to either your Facebook, Instagram or Twitter account between July 13 and July 31^st.

Make sure to share it using the hashtag #readysetschool – as this is the way Scotties will be counting the number of backpacks to donate.

Hartz Delectables® SqueezeUp™ Treats...

I am super excited to tell you about Hartz Delectables® SqueezeUp™ treats, the first interactive wet cat treats!

Cats nationwide are going "pawtastic" over them! The Hartz Mountain Corporation announces their "Pawtastic!" campaign featuring videos of "celebricats going crazy" for SqueezeUps on the company's social media channels in July and August 2017.



Delectables SqueezeUp, available in Chicken and Tuna flavors, is a rich, thick puree in a lickable tube that provides cats with a fun and delicious treat. "Delectables SqueezeUp treats allow cat parents to hand-feed their cats out of a tube for a fun experience for both cat and cat parent," says Lester Ding, Brand Manager.

Ideal as an in-between meal treat or as a savory topper for dry food, Delectables SqueezeUp's convenient, single-serve tubes provide cats with tempting treats made with real chicken or tuna, without by-products. Delectables SqueezeUp's are sold as a 4-pack and are available at major retailers including Walmart, Chewy.com, and Amazon.com. 

As part of the "Pawtastic!" campaign, consumers are invited to share photos and videos of how their cats go "pawtastic" over SqueezeUps on the company's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages using hashtags #pawtastic, #LickItLoveIt and #catsgocrazy4Delectables. 

Now here's the exciting part...

Participants will be entered in weekly drawings for a chance to win SqueezeUp treats and Hartz® cat toys!

Thank you so very much Hartz for the awesome products and the chance to win!

Oriental Trading Game Night Review...

* I was provided product by Oriental Trading in exchange for reviewing these games.*

Thanks to Oriental Trading, I am really excited to tell you about their amazing games & activities!

When I found out I was in charge of a game night I knew Oriental Trading would have everything I needed to make our youth game night a huge success!

Check out the awesome Deluxe Bingo Set I received...

We are super impressed with the high quality of everything that comes in this deluxe bingo set! It includes a metal bingo ball cage, 75 wooden bingo balls, a master board, 25 bingo cards and 200 bingo chips.

We enjoyed taking turns calling out the numbers. This is a fun game that everyone loves to play and will for sure get lots of use for years to come!

Next, we played a few different bean bag games...

We put numbers on the front of the baskets and added up the points. Whoever got the most points would win a prize. We also played hot potato and had a bean bag relay.

We like that these nylon square bean bags have reinforced stitching for long-lasting play. The possibilities with these vibrant bean bags are as limitless as your imagination!

Now it was time for our final game...

Since we started the night with a service project and the theme was stars this game was a perfect way to end our night! I love that it is fabulous for all ages. The adults really enjoyed playing it also.

My hubby likes that after we played this game it is easy to store. The stars come apart and fit in the small box they came in so they don't take up a lot of room.

Here are some of the yummy prizes we handed out...

The youth were thrilled with the games and treats and are already asking when we can have another game night!

Now what are you waiting for? Hurry and head on over to check out all of the fantastic products on their easy to navigate website!

CLEO MADISON REVIEW...

* I was provided product by Cleo Madison in exchange for reviewing these clothing items.*

Thanks to Cleo Madison, I am really excited to tell you about their amazing products!

First, check out the adorable shirt I received...

I can't wait to wear this to girls camp. I know it is going to be a huge hit and everyone will love it! This shirt fits perfectly and looks so cute on. A girl can never have too many pink shirts. I love how soft and comfy the fabric is!

Next, look at the awesome skirts I got...

This black classy Karli pencil skirt is going to be great to wear dressy and casual. I like that it does not have any slits or zippers. The nice stretchy fabric moves with me and looks so slimming on!

I also love the Amsterdam Floral Skirt...

I have always loved mint and pink. Look how good they go together with this floral print. I like how delicate and pretty the flowers are. The length of these skirts are fabulous to wear all year long!

It is so hard to find modest clothing now days and I am thrilled with Cleo Madison and the selection they have! I love everything I received and can't wait to show them off!

More about Cleo Madison:

At Cleo Madison you'll find a variety of cute modest clothing items, such as dresses, shirts, skirts, and swimsuits. Modesty is always in style! If you're someone who likes to dress conservatively, you're probably having a tough time finding clothes that aren't revealing, provocative, indecent, boring and expensive, right? You're not alone. Liz, our store's co-owner, struggled with this too, so much that she, along with her husband, decided to do something about it!

Join their newsletter for 10% off your first order and be the first to get notified of new arrivals, sales, giveaways, and more. Every order in the U.S. will get free shipping too, which I think is awesome!

"A Father's Day" the musical!

I am super excited to tell you about "A Father's Day" the musical! 

A Father’s Day is the name of an original pop musical (“pop” because the music is generally more pop-style than Broadway) written by Nate Gagon (founder of Gaxagon Media) from Salt Lake City, Utah. The show debuted with a single performance in June 2015 at Cottonwood High School (the same venue where Michael McLean perform The Forgotten Carols every year) in front of a paying audience of close to 600.

A Father’s Day will be performed annually in Utah around the Fathers Day holiday with the goal of making it a cherished local tradition and perfect Fathers Day gift/event. In 2017 the show is being performed between June 14-19 at the Summit Academy in Draper, Utah (1225 East 13200 South; 84020). The hope is that the show catches on and eventually spreads to other performing groups around the world.

More about A Father's Day...

A Father’s Day is a fantastic story about the journey of life and meaning of family, told primarily from the perspective of fictional character Matthew Harper, as he and his wife Amy experience the highs and lows of life, marriage and parenthood along with their three children, who pass through the phases of growing from childhood to adulthood. 

Our hope is that A Father’s Day will be an experience for families, couples and friends that will both entertain and uplift; make them laugh and pull at their heart strings. Our target audience is really anyone who’s ever been a son or daughter; brother or sister; mom or dad. A Father’s Day is about 2 hours, 15 minutes long. (more details on the website) 

Watch a spotlight of our amazing friend Anthony Hernandez below...

Visit www.afathersday.com for tickets or you can purchase at the door. This is for sure a show that you will NOT want to miss!

Heat Holders Review...

*I received the review products at no charge to evaluate and express my opinion.*

Thanks to Heat Holders I am super excited to tell you about their amazing products! 

Check out the new gloves and hat that I received...

I love this cable knit hat and matching gloves! They are knitted in an attractive, two-colored twist yarn. The ribbed hem incorporates the latest HeatWeaver® thermal lining, a luxurious, plush fur-like insulating fabric, that maximizes the amount of warm air held close to the skin.

Look how cute they are on...

 They both feel so soft and warm! I can't wait to wear them during the evenings when it gets cold on our upcoming camping trip. The light grey twist color is so pretty and will match all of my jackets.

I also love their fabulous Warmest Thermal Socks...

My feet are always cold so I was thrilled that these keep my feet nice and warm! These socks are really comfy and I love all of the fun different colors they come in. The black is ideal for my camping trip so they won't show the dirt. 

The Heat Holders® process is, absolutely unique. It gives their socks the best thermal properties available. They are seven times warmer than basic cotton socks. I can't believe how soft and heavenly the inside of these socks are. I've never had socks feel this good when I'm walking.

With Father's Day coming soon we love the Heat Holders® Men’s Superhero Character Slipper socks! In addition to spending time with your dad, show him how much you care about the superhero that he is. Warm his heart by gifting him these awesome Slipper socks. He’ll thank you for making his life warmer!
