Arby’s NEW Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich

Family, Reviews, Sponsored Post, , , , , , , ,

This post brought to you by Arby’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was given a gift card from Arby’s to try their new Smokehouse Brisket Sandwich, so I decided that I would make a lunch date with one of my son’s and we could try out this new sandwich!  We went to an Arby’s that was close to his work and we enjoyed a fun time together, laughing and just spending time together!  It was so great!  Sometimes as an empty nester mom, I don’t get a lot of one on one time with my own children, so this was a treat!  Thanks Arby’s.  Do any of you have someone you need to connect with?  Try out this new Smokehouse sandwich with someone you love!

Friday’s Favorite Find

Fashion, Reviews, , , ,

Today I just wanted to share my newest favorite find!  

One of my friends showed me these just recently and I found them at Costco in a 5 pack, so they are perfect to use for myself and to give some away to others!  (My friend got hers at Target)  These are what I used with my VT Handouts this month, I just tied a ribbon around it and they are a cute little gift.  They would be perfect for back to school, teachers, stocking stuffers at Christmas time, or just a little pick me up, (for me!)

They are called EOS-evolution of smooth, and they are the BEST lip balm that I have tried in a long time.  I seem to have dry, chapped lips and this worked wonders after even the first application.   I love all these fun flavors and lip balm is something that every girl needs!  Right?

I like to keep a roll of paper towels on hand when we go in the car because they are great to wipe up dirty hands and faces, soda or juice spills or any little cleanups that I might have.   I always have a bottle of water in the car, so I can just moisten the paper towel a bit and I have a nice big “wash cloth”.  I can clean up the mess and simply toss the paper towel into the garbage!  So easy!

Air Wick Scented Oils at Sam’s Club

Reviews, Sponsored Post, , ,

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

I am kind of a smell freak and so I am a big fan of scented Airwick products.  I love how they make my whole house smell good.  There is nothing better than walking into my house after being gone for ahwile and the smell of citrus or flowers infusing my senses!

I love how easy and convenient this product is.  I simply snap in the bottle and plug it into an outlet!   I do not have to worry about it and I love how long it lasts before I have to put in a new refill.

I’ve sampled most all their scents including Hawaii, Ocean Spray & Sparkling Sea Minerals, Island Paradise, Grand Canyon, American Samoa, and my personal favorite, Bright Citrus Splash!

New “Bright Citrus Splash” and “Ocean Spray with Sparkling Sea Minerals” can ONLY be found at Sam’s Club. They also have national parks scents that are exclusive to Airwick, but for a limited time only.

It’s a TREMENDOUS VALUE – It’s a 38% value vs. Walmarts EDLP on their 3 pack. Sam’s club members can either have BONUS OIL or BONUS WARMER, your choice.  When you buy Sam’s Club exclusive pack, you don’t need to purchase refills as often because it comes with TONS in each pack :)

Here is my all time favorite scent, Bright Citrus Splash:

I LOVE this fresh Citrus smell, it is just so refreshing to me!

Here are a few of my other favorites:

DSC_0204

American Samoa with Sweet Coconut & Island Palms, Island Paradise, and I love that they have some of the National Parks, so I chose  the Grand Canyon scent to try out!

You can see how many you get in each set, so they will last you for a long while! :)

Here’s a video to give you more info on scented Airwick products.

 Do you want the sweet smell of the islands or the fragrant smell of the catus flower to envelope your home?    Give scented Airwick products a try, I don’t think that you will be disappointed!

Going Green

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

I don’t know about you, but I always feel better when I am doing things to help others and doing things to help out the environment.  There are a lot of little things that we can do, we can recycle paper, aluminum and plastic products, we can turn off the lights as we leave a room or we can look for eco-friendly products to use in our homes.

One of the things that I have done to help out the enviroment is to make my own DIY Fabric Softner. This is a great recipe to use in doing your laundry!  There are only 3 ingredients so it is easy and inexpensive to do.

Another fun project that I have just done recently with my grandkids is to recycle boxes to make darling books. The kids all love them! Check out how to make your own here.

Sweet Valentines Recipe Book

Books, cooking, Gift ideas, Recipes, Reviews, , , , , , ,

Can I just start off today by saying that my husband has been gone for 2 weeks and I am sooo glad that he is back home again.  I enjoyed the break of no cooking, going out to lunch, playing and shopping with friends, for about a week or 10 days, but then it gets lonely being here by myself and I was more than ready for him to come home and take care of all the everyday stuff .  I really missed his friendship and his companionship!  So welcome home honey!

Today I have a fun little review of a cookbook that I love!  This is not a sponsored post, it is just something that I wanted to share with you because it is one of my favorite recipe books!  I said that it is a sweet Valentines recipe book, because:

It is called: Cooking for Two by Debbie G. Harman

I’m in Love!…

Reviews, Shopping, , , , , , ,

This last weekend, my husband and I went up to our cabin, but we took a detour on the way up and went to Trader Joe’s.  I know that a lot of you are familiar with Trader Joe’s, but it is new to Utah and can I just say…

I am in LOVE!

 We stopped on the way up to our cabin and then we went back on our way home from the cabin!  That is how impressed I was.
