I Won a Bud Light Lake Getaway In Cleveland #NotSponsored #BudLightGetaway #BudLightLakeGetaway7/16/2018 Like many of you, I sometimes enter sweepstakes or contests I see online, often through Facebook. Well, I don't win much since I stay too busy to enter like I wish I could....But recently, I won something AMAZING, and I'd love to share it with you all!
I won one of the Bud Light Lake Getaway experiences, this one in Cleveland, OH. This "staycation" included a 2 hour long Bud Light Party Cruise on the Nautica Queen, which of course offered food and all the Bud Light one could handle! (I actually don't drink....At all...The hubby enjoyed the beer, and I stuck to ice water, meatballs, and cheese. Heck. Yes.) There was music and dancing on deck, lots of laughter, and of course, plenty of Bud Light VIPs. We were all friends for an afternoon, and it was AMAZING. After seeing the gorgeous cityscape and crashing waves of Lake Erie, we were also treated to an amazing concert experience at Jacob's Pavilion, which is an ampitheater style venue right on the water. We saw KT Tunstall, Better Than Ezra, and The Barenaked Ladies! My phone ended up dying, so I didn't get too many concert photos. Check out my slideshow above, and enter to win your own Bud Light Lake Getaway HERE. (Rules are on the sponsor's page.) Again, not sponsored, just sharing my win and hoping you enter, too!

Well, that's one of the most celebrated weeks of the whole entire year: Shark Week!
In celebration of these favorite "wild things", we've rounded up some of the hottest toys that celebrate both sharks and dinosaurs! These come from favorite brands like Dolce, Wild Republic, and ALEX, just to name a few. Take a minute, check them out, and then order some for your own kids to enhance their wild summer adventures! The kids will not only be thrilled, they might actually learn something, too. And hey, learning through play? That's one of our favorite pastimes!  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

Whether it's burgers and dogs, various kinds of chicken, steak, or even grilled veggies, our grill puts in overtime when the warmer months hit.
One thing that makes or breaks grilled foods is the seasoning. Yes, it's true that everything looks delicious to the eye, but tastiness is measured by the taste buds. I've had dishes before that looked fantastic but were blander than...well...Hospital food. That says a LOT right there. One of our favorite ways to make sure our food not only looks great but tastes great, too, is by choosing only the best quality seasonings. Our favorites this grilling season are from Pereg Natural Foods' Gourmet Spices. They offer some of the best, most inspired spices and seasoning blends, and they contain ONLY the best that Mother Nature has to offer.

One thing I always make sure to keep handy are my sunglasses. I keep a pair in each of our cars, as well as several others. Hey, gotta coordinate with my outfits. Anyway, sunglasses as a must in my home. This is especially true during the hot summer months, although I do use them year round. Hey, the sun doesn't take a break, so my eyes need constant protection from potentially harmful rays.
Since I have several pairs of sunnies, as well as some "fake glasses" for fashion purposes only, I refuse to pay crazy prices that break the bank. I have kids. I have a busy life. Accidents happen. Therefore, I can't drop hundreds of dollars on my sunnies. It's just not possible, practical, or smart. That's where the awesome folks at Sunglass Warehouse come into play. Sunglass Warehouse offers TONS of hot, high quality styles, all for incredible prices that are kind to the wallet. Oh, and if you're in need of reading glasses, the same value can be found at Readers.Com.

With summer in full swing, moms are always extremely busy during this time of year. Between swim lessons and trips to the park, doing what’s best for the family still remains at the top of the to-do list, which often means a healthy and sustainable household.
From the kitchen sink to the bathroom shower, Softsoap Earth Blends has you covered with a paraben-free and dye-free moisturizing line made from biodegradable cleaning ingredients. An easy way for moms to do good, this Walmart exclusive allows for an effective and trustworthy clean, every time.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My oldest son just turned 18, graduated High School Magna Cum Laude, and is now focusing on becoming a bona-fide adult. This means he's working, continuing his education, and ultimately honing in on his ultimate goal of having some sort of creative career, whether it's with his art or as a budding tattoo artist. He's got immense talent, and an incredibly bright future, if I do say so myself.
My 18 year old son also...well...smells like an 18 year old young man. I don't know how to state that delicately, so I won't. Sometimes, he gets funky, and it's less than pleasant for those in the same room. That's why I decided to treat him to a wonderful assortment of masculine smelling, natural personal care products from Nubian Heritage. Their Abyssinian Oil & Chia Seed line will not only keep my young man clean and pampered, they will also help him smell less like a barnyard animal. Good for him, good for my nose. It's a win for everyone!

All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Anyone who knows me is well aware of the role that music plays in my life. I grew up in a family of musicians, and am surrounded by music of every genre 24/7. I don't have cable. I don't watch TV in any way. I listen to music and watch music videos and documentaries on YouTube. That is my life, and it's what makes me the happiest. Music is part of my soul, and I am in my happy place when I've got tunes blaring in the background.
During the summer, I am always extra enthusiastic. It's officially concert season, and that means I am booked solid with live music events, whether they're one evening gigs at smaller venues like Cleveland's House of Blues, larger arenas like the Quicken Loans Arena, or ampitheater type venues that offer outdoor seating such as Blossom Music Center. I am always up for a good time with good friends and killer music. My favorite part of summer would HAVE to be attending music festivals. You know, camping out with other fans for a weekend of fun, games, and multiple artists. This year, we've SUPER stoked to attend Machine Gun Kelly's ESTFest. I am a HUGE fan of his, as well as a Cleveland local thrilled to support such an amazing area (now big time) artist. We will be bringing a tent, camping gear, and of course, some hygiene items to stay fresh and snackable. During festivals, there's lots of sun, sweat, rain, mud, and even spilled drinks, so keeping clean is a must.  ***Disclosure: This post is powered by Jenzy. I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Kids grow like weeds. They really, truly do. One minute, they're sweet, innocent little toddlers, and the next, they're graduating High School Magna Cum Laude. True story. My oldest son just graduated, and is now trying his hand at adulting. Time goes by so quickly, and kids grow oh, so fast.
Since we're talking about how rapidly our babies grow up, you know another thing that grows quickly? FEET! I can't tell you how many times I have purchased kids' shoes just to find they're outgrown in just a few weeks or they were the wrong size altogether! Finding the perfect sized shoes for growing feet can be tricky, since it can literally vary by the week. Thanks to Jenzy, I don't have to stress about sizing my kiddos' feet. Yep. You guessed it: There's an app for that! Jenzy is a must have shoe sizing app for parents that allows you to quickly, easily, and painlessly size your child's foot from the comfort of your own home. Oh, and once you're sized, you can shop for new shoes right there on the app! How cool is that?! |
