Dream Kitchen Design with Tarkettwoven

  This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tarkett NA for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.   I'd love to replace the flooring in my home's kitchen.The kitchen has the same vinyl flooring that came with the house when we purchased it 11 years ago, and it could use a style update! That's why I am so pleased to be talking about Tarkett flooring today! Tarkett's FiberFloor® sounds like a great product for my home. Made with woven fiberglass, foam and with several strong layers, FiberFloor® luxury vinyl tile looks like it could take the abuse that the Continue reading...

Fresh Brummel & Brown Herb Spread

By

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Brummel & Brown. I was recently offered the opportunity to try out Brummel & Brown spread, a creamy buttery spread made with non-fat yogurt. I was happy to give the spread a try, since I am always looking for healthy snack options for my kids -- now that my daughters are entering their tween years, they are hungry when they get home from school! My daughters love to snack on crackers and bread with fruit, so the Brummel & Brown spread is a good option for us. Healthy & Tasty Spread What I like about the Brummel Continue reading...

Caramel Macchiato Tea

By

I am loving fall this year! The colors and the warmer than usual temperatures have been perfect this season. One thing I love to do in the fall is enjoy a warm beverage when I take in the fall scenery, whether it is during a hike through the woods or while sitting in my home's bay window enjoying a good book. So, when Coffee-Mate offered the opportunity to try out their new seasonal flavors, I jumped at the chance! Among Coffee Mates new seasonal flavors are Dark Chocolate Fudge, Peppermint Mocha and Eggnog Latte. Yum! I can't wait to try those out! Fall Tea Break This morning, I had Continue reading...

The Smurfs 2 Video Game

By

My daughters loved The Smurfs movie, so they can't wait to see The Smurfs 2 when it comes out in theaters July 31. In fact, we already have plans to see the movies with friends this Wednesday! So, when I was offered the chance to review the new The Smurfs 2 video game by Ubisoft,  I jumped at the chance. Since we have a Wii console, I asked for the Wii version of the game (the game is also available for XBox 360, Playstation3, Nintendo DS, and Wii U). My kids wanted to play the new The Smurfs 2 video game as soon as I got it out of the box. After a brief read of the game's Continue reading...

chicken enchilada casserole

Chicken Enchilada Casserole / Enter to Win $5,000

By

I just love casseroles – who wouldn’t? I am a big fan of cheese (which most casseroles include), and I adore the ease of making a casserole for dinner. All I have to do is assemble the ingredients, add them to my casserole dish, place it in the oven, and I am done! It’s also great that I can get a casserole started for dinner while my kids are in school. Easy Weeknight Dinner My kids like Mexican food like tacos, fajitas and enchiladas, so recently, I made them a chicken enchilada casserole for dinner. The meal is a cinch to prepare, and the best part about it is that the dish can be Continue reading...

Review: Werther’s Sugar Free Hard Candies

By

  My family and I have been trying lately to eat healthier and to consume less sugar: I have joined a gym, we're eating oatmeal and other healthier cereals in the morning, and we have been trying to eat less sugary snacks. Also, I am hoping to shed quite a few pounds, so eating less sugar is super important in that quest! So, when I was offered the chance to try out Werther's Original Sugar Free Candy, I jumped at the chance! The package came in the mail the other day, and the box was filled with Werther's Original Caramel, Caramel Cinnamon, Caramel Coffee and Caramel Apple Continue reading...

The Pluses of Buying a New Home

By

When my husband and I were house hunting for a new home more than 10 years ago, I picked my town in part because I loved the beautiful historic and Victorian homes that line the streets. But despite all the beautiful older homes in my town, I knew I wanted to purchase a brand-new home. My husband and I aren't handy, so I knew that purchasing a charming vintage home that may require updating and some fixes would be quite expensive for us -- everytime something broke or when we wanted to add our own touches to the home, we would have to pay a contractor to do the work for us. Plus, it is Continue reading...

Moen BoardWalk Spot Resistant Bathroom Faucets

By

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Every mom knows that when you have kids, keeping the house clean can be difficult! That is especially true in the bathroom. In my home's main bathroom, I often find that the bathroom faucets are covered with soap and fingerprints -- I even find fingerprints on the towels! My children really try their best do be neat, but as you know, kids will be kids! I've been invited to write about the Boardwalk Spot Resist bath faucet, and on more inspection, I think the faucet Continue reading...

Moen Kiran Spot Resist Kitchen Faucet

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Moen, Incorporated for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My home has a casual simple style, but I do like to keep it clean. That’s why I think the Kiran Spot Resist one-handle pulldown kitchen faucet would be a great fit for my home’s kitchen. The faucet is spot and fingerprint resistant, which as a mom, are two very important features! My time can be very limited, so if my kitchen faucet can look clean with less effort from me, I am good! It is especially important that every aspect of my kitchen looks clean, because with my Continue reading...

Find Your Perfect Home at Apartments.com

By

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of apartments.com for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Early on in our relationship, my husband and I lived in a central NJ town not far from Princeton, NJ. It's been quite a long time since we lived in that town, so I decided to check out what our former hometown and its  housing options are like now by looking up the apartment complex where we lived on apartments.com. I found apartments.com quite simple to use -- just by typing in the name of the town, I quickly found a detailed list (with photos) of the apartments now available Continue reading...
