Beautify Your Heart Campaign

February 18, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Heart Health is so important. Women and men both need to think about taking care of their hearts. Exercising, healthy diet, and check ups with your doctor can prevent heart attacks. My father is really healthy and the last time he went to the doctor he was told to start taking an aspirin every day. I hope that he follows his doctor’s advice. Bayer is one of the participating sponsors in the Beautify your heart campaign.

February 6th was the big wear red day in honor of heart health. I forgot to wear red. My husband came home that day and asked me if I wore red, I didn’t. He didn’t either he was just reminding me. Taking care of children and not leaving the house makes me forget what day it is. I can’t believe February is almost over can you?

Cholesterol screening is very important as well. Which leads to a healthier heart. My husband had high cholesterol as a child so we watch cholesterol in my family. He no longer has high cholesterol except maybe around Christmas but we did not have any egg nog like we usually do. We both love it (not good for your heart though, or your waist). I was recently tested because I carried two children back to back and they want to make sure you are healthy enough to do that. I watch what a serve for dinner. My kids eat tons of cheerios. They don’t get a lot of sweet stuff or fatty food so I think we are on the right track for staying healthy.

Metamucil is another sponsor for the Beautify Your Heart. They have formed an on-line community where people can seek support and more information about how to take care of your heart. They are also offering free samples for you to try of their new flavors. I still found it to be a little gritty, but I’m not entirely sure I stirred it well enough. I just wanted to drink it. I did enjoy the taste. I have tried the pink lemonade, I still have the berry burst sample to try.

I’m really proud to be a part of the Family Review Network and getting to know about wonderful campaigns like the Beautify Your Heart Campaign. Taking care of ourselves and our families is invaluable. You can’t put a price tag on how precious life is. Early screening, for your heart and cholesterol is a must.

Glade Sense and Spray Giveaway

February 15, 2009 By 35 Comments

SC Johnson keeps coming out with great products. They have just recently released Sense And Spray Glade Air Freshener. Thanks to the Family Review Network and glade, I was able to review and provide a giveaway for my readers.

My son’s room is the worst smelling room in the house. It’s not his fault, it is because the diaper trash can that we use doesn’t stay closed. So I put the Glade Sense and Spray in his room and I am so glad I did. I placed it on the shelf in his closet above the trash can so the children can’t reach it. By doing this it, when it senses us walk in the room it sprays. Sometimes I’ll spray it again if it was a really dirty diaper. It came with batteries and the apple cinnamon scent. I find it very refreshing, especially compared to dirty diapers.

After it senses your presence and sprays, it goes into a locked mode for thirty minutes. Then it will spray again if you are in the room, otherwise it doesn’t. It’s great, why keep a room smelling great if no one is in the room to enjoy it. That’s why sometimes I’ll manually spray it.
You can print a coupon here. You can win one by visiting Glade and coming back here and telling me what scent you would purchase as a refill.

More Savings at Safeway – 92% – OOP 7.50

February 13, 2009 By 3 Comments

So I went in to buy the buy two Betty Crocker Products and get three free. So, I purchased:

Five Boxes of Cake Mix
Six tubs of icing (I didn’t mean to get six, I think my daughter threw another one in the basket)

I really love the Entertainment Book. I have Three!! I used one of my save 5 off of 50 coupons, I was just over 50.00 after all of the Safeway sale discounts. Made me very happy. I had quite a few coupons today, and many of them were free product coupons. I used them because I knew that I would still get 10 percent back from everything I purchased. I can’t believe I got all that for 7.50. The cleaning products alone would be more than that. If you ever hear someone say that coupons are worthless, send them over here.

Total Before any savings: 76.05
Sale Item savings: 30.12
Coupon Item Savings: 38.43

Total Savings: 68.55

Total Out of Pocket: 7.50

Wii Fit Moms – Fitness Friday

February 13, 2009 By 7 Comments


Oh my dear wii fit moms, please help me. How, with Valentine’s day around the corner, and chocolate all around do I stay fit. Do I need to do extra exercising, because with all of the stress currently in my life I need the chocolate. I hear the exercise is good for the stress, but I don’t have time for it and that is part of the stress. I’ve been working on a major project around the house and it has taken every spare second that I have. I am constantly working on it and then at night I rest by blogging.

My son just became mobile and he books it. My daughter was slow to move but she goes everywhere now and my son just wants to be with her. So away they go. And me shortly after just to make sure they don’t get into too much trouble. If a post ever seems random or completely cute short lately that’s why.

So I have my box of chocolates sitting right next to me as I’m writing my Fitness Friday story. Seems quite ironic. I have lost count of how many meals I skipped this week and I somehow tell myself that is how I make it ok to eat the chocolate, until I heard my daughter ask her dad if he ate breakfast this morning, and she said something about mom didn’t. It was odd, and I thought, oh no, she’s only two but she already notices that I’m not eating regularly. Sigh, I need to take better care of myself so that she can learn to. I have to stop with all of the negativity surrounding my body and my image of it.

Monday
Storage unit where I moved boxes around for my project. I wanted to find my boots for Valentine’s day but I didn’t find them and I’m not going out so, I didn’t look that hard. That was my workout. Boxes are heavy and I have the bruises to prove it. Then we had a play date.

Tuesday
I went to Albertsons because I had to use my coupons, and the cashier made me GRUMPY. After Albertsons, I had to take my kids back home for lunch and we all had naps.

Wednesday
I know I didn’t stay home, but I can’t remember what I did. Oh, I took another shot at looking for my boots, so I moved more boxes around, I didn’t find them, or the box that had something my husband wanted me to find. I am so tired. I hope this counts as my exercise.

Thursday
I did more grocery shopping and I’m going to blog about that next then I’ll come back here and leave the link for it. We went to Safeway and saved 92 percent. I’m doing really well right now at Safeway. Then we went to Target and I found stuff to make my home look so wonderful. Target is having a clearance on home decor. We also went to the Food Bank to drop off some food.

Friday
Well, I always post on Thursday night so it is very hard to tell what I’m going to do on Friday.
