I like to think of myself as a practical gal by nature.  From as far back as I can remember, I've strived to conserve whatever resources I had available.  Be it birthday money, toys or craft supplies, I was careful to make the most of what I had.  Today, our family budget is always under my watchful eye.  Thanks to Safeway and the Blackhawk Fuel Rewards program, it's never been easier to safe a LOT of money on both groceries and gas.

At the end of a long, hard day, it can be difficult to keep up with the endless energy of our children.  I always want to spend quality time with my daughter, but some days, I just don't have it in me to run, jump and bound around like she'd like us to.  So how do you maximize quality time on a minimal amount of energy?

My husband and I fire up the popcorn popper and snug in to a great family flick!  This way, we can laugh and talk about the characters and story line together, all from the comfort of our couch.  If you're in the same boat and are looking for fun ways to entertain your family when the energy levels wane, be sure to check out the latest family-friendly offerings from Phase 4 Films.

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Reebok. I received a Famous Footwear gift card to purchase a pair of Reebok shoes to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.

Have you been caught in some serious hustle and bustle while getting your kiddos prepared to go back to school?  Shopping for school supplies, clothes, backpacks and shoes can definitely wear you down and I wanted to let you in on a little secret of mine for a quick and practical pick me up.

When I'm being worn to a frazzle, I love treating myself to a new pair of athletic shoes.  Since becoming a work at home mom, I've ditched the high heels for trendy athletic shoes instead.  These shoes help me stay on top of my hectic daily agenda in both comfort and style.

Reebok has always been one of my favorite go-to brands where athletic shoes are concerned for they consistently deliver amazing shoe designs with a tailor-made fit at a price I can afford.  Famous Footwear offers low prices on a staggering array of footwear at almost 1,100 stores around the country.  They treated me to a brand new pair of Reeboks, but thanks to their fabulous coupon codes and BOGO 1/2 off sale, I was able to nab SO MUCH MORE!

With all of the hustle and bustle of the back to school season, the last thing any mom needs is to not feel her best due to uncomfortable feminine itching and burning.  Urinary Tract Infections and yeast infections can strike when we least expect them and it is important to have some preventative measures on hand, especially if you suffer from recurrent or frequent infections.

AZO Products allowed me to review their complete line of products for maximum relief of feminine itching and burning. Thankfully, I didn't have the need for these women's health products, but I'm so happy to know that they're here in case I have a sudden emergency!
