First, let me just say that my posting is a little delayed because I have had a ton of things going on besides the holidays! Two of my friends had babies within a week of each other! Both were by c-section and one was 3 hours away so I have been a busy bee trying to be there for my friends. Also, the holidays brought about travel so I haven't had a free moment to myself in weeks!
Anywho, once again Crowdtap gave me a wonderful opportunity to take one of my friends out shopping for new clothes! This time Old Navy and Crowdtap gave me 2 coupons for FREE Old Navy dresses!!! Yes, you read that right...FREE dresses. Have I mentioned lately how much I love the Old Navy Style Council with Crowdtap??? They have been so generous and this is the 4th item that I have received since I joined on to the style council!
SO, I planned a day with a friend (without the kids of course) for some much needed girl time! My friend and I will be going on a cruise in January so getting new dresses came at the perfect time! First we went out to lunch and then went off on our shopping adventure. After entering Old Navy, we immediately started looking for the newest dresses, which weren't hard to find because the mannequins were dressed to impress at the front door. Chelsea and I browsed through the dresses at the front, grabbing two or three, then headed to the women's department to find more options. By the time we made it to the dressing room, I had 3-4 dresses, some t-shirts, shorts and a scarf!
The first dress that I tried on was the cap sleeved wrap dress in red. I will admit that I didn't have good luck with this dress. I am a little more top heavy and I had a hard time getting this one on just right. On to the next one :) This time I tried on the v-neck sweater dress in lime green and gray. I immediately fell in love with this dress! I really was trying to talk myself out of this dress because I just recently bought a black and gray sweater dress. The size that I had gotten for the sweater dress was a little big so I used that as an excuse to pass and try on the last dress. The final one that I attempted (the first dressing room trip that is) was the belted cap-sleeve knit dress in purple. Chelsea really liked the way this color looked on me but once again the fact that I am a top heavy made this one difficult to pull off. Usually I have to wear something with a v-neck or a slinky type neck, otherwise it doesn't look right.
I then decided to try on a few more versions of these dresses and a different size in the sweater dress. My second trip to the dressing room ended in me making my decision! I purchased the v-neck sweater dress in lime green and gray!!! I love this dress! It's so comfortable and form fitting! It looks good with leggings or by itself. I can't wait to wear it on a night out with the hubby!!!
Chelsea tried on the same dresses that I did except for the wrap dress (they didn't have it in her size). She eventually decided on the v-neck sweater dress in black and white. It looked great on her!! She says she will wear hers with leggings and flats while I think I will wear mine alone with knee high boots :)
Chelsea and I both had such a great time shopping at Old Navy for these new dresses!! Even though the store was extremely busy (waiting line at the dressing room), everyone was super friendly and tried to accommodate everyone. The only complaint that I had during this specific trip was that I wished they would have had more dresses available. There are quite a few online that I would have loved to try on!! Either way, I think I ended up with a great dress and can't wait to wear it!! Don't worry, when I do, I will post pictures!!!
I received 2 free dress coupons from Crowdtap and Old Navy. All opinions are my own and no other compensation has been received.

Finally received my first Cravebox!
I recently signed up with Cravebox, a company that sends out the best new products to members to try out for themselves. I have a few friends that had received boxes from Cravebox and they posted pictures of the items that they received which peaked my interest. SO, I signed up to be a member. The first box that I was offered was the Back to School box. My son recently started kindergarten so I was super excited to see what was included.
When I received my box, I couldn't wait to open it! Here's what I found...

LITTLE PIM® EARLY LEARNING LANGUAGE PROGRAM
- The #1 early language learning system, featuring the award-winning Entertainment Immersion Method™ - Give your child the gift of language at the age they learn best!
These descriptions and list was pulled from the Cravebox website.
At this point I have tried the pens, pencils, aloe gel, gummy bears and the lunchables (well my kids tried them!). The pens write so smoothly! I love them and I love the fact that it's not your "normal" colors. Ever since high school I would much rather write with bright colors than blue or black...I guess that's the girl in me :).
The pencils were great! I always choose mechanical pencils instead of regular pencils (when pencils are needed) so I was happy to see those included in the box. I have a house full of regular pencils since my son is in Kindergarten so these pencils will be just for me.
The Aloe I have only used once. My daughter woke up a week or so ago with these weird bumps on her arm. I tried using lotion, assuming it was just dry skin and it didn't do anything. So, when this Cravebox came in I decided to try the Aloe. Unfortunately it didn't work but I loved how smoothly it went on her skin and that it is all natural!
The Yummi bears have been my children's favorite. They love anything that's a gummy and since it's a "vitamin" they think the more the better :). The only thing that I am a little hesitant about is that I am unsure about how great DHA/Omega-3 is for children. Are the claims really true???
Lastly, the Lunchables coupon was gone before I knew it. We had some grocery shopping to do and they kids are always begging for the quick meals. When we passed the Lunchables, that was all she wrote. Luckily I had the free coupon! Since my family doesn't eat meat, the choices were slim to none but my daughter decided on the cheese pizza one. My daughter is only 3 so I was thinking that the meal would be a little much for her. Boy was I wrong. She ate the entire thing...Oreos and all!!! There were no complaints coming from her!
I am so excited that I found the Cravebox program and can't wait for my next box!!! I have also been joining their Twitter parties (as you probably noticed in a previous post) and they are so much fun! If you love trying new products you should check out Cravebox! There is a small fee when you sign up for a box, it's anywhere between $10-$15 per box but the membership is completely free. You do not have to request/pay for a box to be a member, but you do have to pay for the box to get to try the awesome goodies!!

Can you smell the sweet smelling air freshener???
I am not one that typically buys air freshener. I have always felt like there are other ways to maintain a decent smelling living area. That doesn't mean that I do not use air fresheners. I will use them but I have to practically get them for free before I use them. When we moved into our current home, the landlord had left a can of air freshener by Febreze that smelled so good. I think it was cotton or fresh laundry or something to that extent. I always told myself that when I went to the store that I would buy more of that air freshener but I never have.
I received an email from BzzAgent offering me a chance to try the new Glade Expressions air fresheners and I was super excited. Not only was I able to try the air fresheners for FREE, I was also given the opportunity to find one that smelled similar to the one that we had. When I received my coupon for the free air freshener from BzzAgent, I went to Walmart on the hunt for the perfect smelling one. After smelling so many different scents that I felt sick, I decided on the Cotton and Italian Mandarin. I felt like it had a nice clean and soft scent and that it would flow well with our decor.
I have now been using the air freshener for over 2 weeks and I love it. I always use it after I have cleaned a room to kind of "top it off." The only thing that may be difficult to deal with is that the mist is a little strong immediately after you spray it. I usually have to leave the room after spraying the mist or I will end up coughing.
Overall, I highly recommend this air freshener. I will have to try the other scents that are available but I will admit that it's going to be difficult to buy something other than the Cotton and Italian Mandarin!!

Just won a prize from a Twitter party!!!
I can't believe that I actually won something! I've been to a few Twitter parties but never seem to be one of the "lucky ones" so I wasn't expecting anything this time either. Well, I won! I am supposed to be receiving a Soleil Bella from BIC Basket!! The Twitter party was for a company called Cravebox. They ship new products to your door for a low subscription rate of anywhere from $10-$15 a box. I haven't received my first box yet but should be getting one soon and I am super excited! I have read that the products included in the boxes are pretty nice. I will definitely post updates when I received my box so that everyone can see what Cravebox is all about :)

Homemade Sugar Cookies = YUM!!
After church today, my kids and I took off to the park for a picnic. The initial plan was to eat our lunch and then play at the park for a while. Well, after we finished lunch, my daughter started complaining of her knee hurting. It was so bad that she didn't want to walk. So, we packed up and headed home so she could rest. To coax my son into the truck, I promised that we could make a treat when we got home. I was thinking that I had all the ingredients to made these peanut butter cookie type things with cornflakes but when I got home, I realized that I had no cornflakes :(
As any mom knows, when you promise something, it HAS to be done! I begin scrambling for some kind of treat that my son and I could make together when I found a recipe for lemon cookies and a recipe for sugar cookies. I was honestly hoping that he would choose the lemon cookies but he chose the sugar cookies (as probably any child would). So, we get to work. Not really paying attention to the recipe, which called for 2 3/4 cups of flour, I realized that we ended up with a TON of cookie dough! I now have sugar cookies baked and ready to eat as well as sugar cookie dough in the freezer for a rainy day :)
The cookies turned out really well though and I am not really a huge sugar cookie fan. I feel like they aren't as sweet as the typical sugar cookie which is good and bad because I've already had 3! For those who would like to try it, here's the recipe....
I am not sure where this recipe came from. My friend gave it to me a few months ago and it's the first time that I've tried it. If you find out where this recipe originated, let me know so I can give them credit :) Hope you enjoy as much as we did! I wish I could post a picture of mine but my camera is broken. Hopefully we will have our camera back soon!

Would you like to unjunk your candy???
Yes, please!!!
Over the past couple of years my family and I have been cutting out a lot of the foods that are overly processed and that contain "harmful" additives. We've started buying organic things when we can and we read labels ALL the time. So, I was so excited when BzzAgent sent me a coupon for a FREE package of Unreal candy. I really didn't know what to expect at first but I was hoping for the best.
Just a little information about Unreal...here's their mantra:
“Unjunk™!” Corn syrup? Out. Partially hydrogenated oils? Out. GMOs? Out. Artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives? Out. Reduced sugar by over 40% per serving on average? Check.
Sounds perfect to me! I decided to purchase the Unreal version of M&M's since I knew I would be sharing with my children and they absolutely love M&M's. Before I gave my son a chance to try them, I snuck a few for myself. Initially I expected them to taste just like M&M's which I think caught me off guard. After the first couple of pieces, I was hooked. The candy tastes so natural, the peanuts were great and best of all, they are not horrible for you like almost every other candy out there. The chocolate was smooth and you can really taste the cocoa. I truly could have finished the entire package by myself.
Next came the true taste test. My 5 year old son was the lucky one to try them since my 3 year old was napping (she totally missed out). My 5 year old is very inquisitive and immediately started asking, "What is this?" I told him to just try it and see what he thought. Next thing I know, he says, "Mom, they're all gone!" He ate the rest of the pack in just a few minutes. I guess that means that he liked it??? Of course he did and that made me so happy! I no longer have to feel bad about giving them candy. Anytime they get candy, I immediately put it up until they forget about it and then I toss it. I purchased some organic suckers for them and they get those periodically but sometimes I do feel bad about not allowing them any other candy. Now they actually have options and I can say, you know what, sure you can have that chocolate. Now don't get me wrong, it's not going to be a staple in the house or anything but when I get the questions at the checkout counter, I can now give it a second thought!
Thanks to BzzAgent for allowing me the opportunity to try Unreal candy and sending me a coupon for a free package. All opinions about the product are my own and no other compensation has been received.
