Could it be???? YES!! I am... PREGNANT!!!

I know I haven't been actively posting on here for the last few months. For that I am sorry! A lot has changed for me this year! I married the love of my life April 1st! (Heck yea I wanted this date, because I never thought I would be getting married.. Its far from an April Fool's Joke though.)

Dennis and I

Anyway, now to the very exciting part of this post! We are expecting! Yep! You read that correctly.. We couldn't be happier! I am 24weeks 2days pregnant! For those of you counting.. I'm 6 months along. :) 

Now this is a really big change of pace for me. As many of you know I have children from previous relationships. My son Devon, just turned 12 this year, my daughter Brianna, just turned 9 this year. So I need to get back into the baby swing of things. It's been awhile. LOL.. 

Devon and I

I am getting bigger as you can see from my pic. Maybe next time I post a picture of me I will be wearing a cute maternity shirt to really show off my belly.. Eh maybe not.. Hehehe I guess you will have to stay tuned for that update. 

 

But for now, the baby and I are doing great. Since I'm in my second trimester now I'm feeling a whole lot better than I was a few months ago. I have a lot more energy now. I believe that's why I have decided to try and start this blog back up.  

Take care!

Cheerios New 2-Box Warehouse Club Packaging Review and {Giveaway!} Ends 6/17

One of my all time favorite cereals is Cheerios. I remember eating it as a kid, and now I buy it for my kids. When I don't have coupons for it, I will buy it from Sam's Club. As a savvy Club member, you can recognize the value of buying Cheerios® cereal at your local Costco, Sam’s Club or BJ’s. While buying Cheerios at Club is already easy and affordable, new 2 box Cheerios packaging format makes Cheerios an even better purchase! You can cheer on the value by purchasing the new 2 box Cheerios packages in Club! 

What’s so exciting?

• New 2 box Cheerios contains two individual boxes, making them easier to store and easier to pour! 

Not to mention…

• By reducing the amount of air in each individual bag, these enhanced containers fit 10% more cereal than before and use less packaging
• While each box contains more cereal, packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees and taking 130 Cheerios trucks of the road, decreasing CO2 emissions

You don’t have to take our word for it, check out all the benefits of new 2 box Cheerios packaging and feel free to share with your readers! http://bit.ly/CheeriosNew2Box
New and improved 2 box Cheerios are now available on the shelves of Costco, Sam’s Club and BJ’s nationwide.

I was sent two boxes of the New 2 box Cheerios packaging. I really liked the new design. I didn't have to worry about my cereal going stale, because they are packaged separately. I love that! Because who likes stale cereal? No one comes to mind.

I have two boxes of the New 2 box Cheerios to giveaway to 2 lucky winners.

Stanley Steemer Review and {Giveaway!} $100 Gift Certificate Ends 6/3

With the weather becoming nicer and nicer, it truly is time for some Spring Cleaning around my house. And what better way to get it started with getting my carpets professionally cleaned.

Dirt is just like tooth decay - it never quits! Despite your best intentions for cleaning this spring, you should not have to do it alone. Cleaning more than 200 tons of dirt last year, Stanley Steemer knows dirt! Call the experts at Stanley Steemer and let them help you achieve that deeper level of clean in your home this season.

Despite their good intentions and best efforts, Americans doing their spring cleaning might make the home look or smell better on the surface, but vacuuming and cleaning machines only remove some of the dirt, dust and particulates that cause allergic reactions.  In a recent national poll commissioned by Stanley Steemer, the nation’s largest deep cleaning service, nearly half of respondents predicted spending less than four hours total on this year’s spring cleaning.  But only 19 percent reported having ever used a professional for cleaning.   To combat this difficult allergy season this spring plus truly make your homes clean, consumers should consider a deeper cleaning twice a year by the professionals at Stanley Steemer. Not just for carpet cleaning, Stanley Steemer’s expertise extends to hardwood, tile, air ducts, water damage restoration, and more! Stanley Steemer’s proprietary equipment and cleaning processes remove more than 98% of dry soil from floors With over 70 branches  and 220 franchise locations in 48 states, Stanley Steemer services 95% of the country

Scheduling my appointment with Stanley Steemer was very easy and it took less than a week before they made their presence known in my home. The guys were very professional, nice, and made sure they wore booties over their shoes so they wouldn't track mud into my home. I am very pleased as to how my carpets turned out.  I have always used my own carpet cleaner on my carpets and never had them done professionally. I am so glad I was able to work with Stanley Steemer and do a review.

Stanley Steemer would love to give one of my lucky readers a $100 gift certificate so you can try them out as well.
