All opinions are mine alone. #ReadySetSnack #CollectiveBias As soon as it gets close to back to school time, I immediately start trying to think of ways to make Broxton's lunch exciting.  One main problem we have?  He gets too excited at lunch and wants to talk more than eat.  He has let me know that sandwiches don't taste that great at school, but he loves them at home.  I try and mix it up so that he doesn't get bored with what I pack, but I will be honest, I try to stay away from sweets and what not. He tried to get me to pack him pieces of cake or cupcakes once Savannah was born and we had people spoiling us bringing treats all the time. Well, he was excited when he was surprised with a Hershey's Smores Pudding Cup in his lunch recently!   Have you tried them yet???? Can you see the Hershey's Pudding?  I had a hard time finding it because to be honest with you, I thought ...

You know how time changes?  Well even though some things change, others still remain the same...  Like good food and good memories!!!    If you have kids, that means easy to make snacks !  That is when you can be thankful that your local Wal-mart carries Bagel Bites and Delimex !   My brother - age 6 My sweet baby boy - age 5 I remember when my brother was little, he played baseball.. and now I get to enjoy watching Broxton getting ready to enjoy baseball season!  While I am lucky to get to be a stay at home mom ( I would not trade it for anything in the world...) My mom and dad have both always worked.  I get to figure out what would be great  #AfterSchoolSnacks   for Broxton, but mom and dad didn't have to worry about snacking options until my brother was older...  It is funny, I was given the cha...

As most of you know, Marc is Army, so that means a clean shave is a normal thing around our house.  Luckily, he is now National Guard, so it isn't an every day thing... But still... When it is time to shave , it is time to take care of your face and shave right, right? That means a trip to Wal-Mart is planned...   Luckily for me, they had the Gillette Flexball on the end cap, so it made for easy locating, but other razors aren't so lucky!   I was lucky enough to surprise Marc with the latest Gillette Flexball Razor, working with #CollectiveBias  and let me tell you this... I thought Broxton was going to fall out from excitement!  He kept saying/yelling "I can't BELIEVE you got dad a flexball!  I saw that on a commercial!" (I can't believe he did not know they were at Wal-mart, since we go there often and if you ask him... EVERYTHING is ...

Have you ever visited a Murphy USA before? I hate to tell you, but I hadn't... Until this past weekend! I had the chance to shop at Murphy USA and make a Thank You basket for Marc. You can read all about my shopping experience (and see great pictures too!) if you just read my Google+ Story post . I am new to Google +, so if you are on there, please feel free to add me to your circle! As we enjoyed the afternoon riding around, Broxton decided to take a nap! After I shopped for all the goodies... I tried to make a cute Thank You basket for Marc. He wasn't able to take advantage of any of the Veteran's Day benefits, so I was glad I could do this for him! I knew that he would love a basket filled with Coke (one of the best tasting goodness on Earth!) and chocolate candy bars. Part of the finished Thank You basket: Marc was very surprised by the basket. I knew he would like the candy bars and all of the snacks in it... He had candy bars, coke, cookies, peanuts, beef stick...
