This post was sponsored by Starbucks as part of an Influencer Activation. I received compensation and complimentary products to facilitate my review.

How your mornings start can usually tell you a lot about how the rest of your day will be. What’s your morning like? Do you stumble in a zombie-like state to your Keurig® machine for that delicious cup of coffee or tea? Is your morning filled with chaos, as you struggle to get breakfast on the table for the kids? Or do you sit down at your desk to work only to find it hard to get motivated? If you can say yes to any of these questions, you are probably in need of a little “me time” in the morning.

For my family, the summer grilling season never really ends. My husband will grill out no matter what kind of weather we’re having, but he’s certainly glad the summer season is almost upon us! We grill a number of different meats from burgers and steaks to pork tenderloins and pork ribs. A couple of weeks ago, we enjoyed some Smithfield® pork ribs. A lot of people say that cooking good ribs is difficult, and many are even intimidated by it, but my hubby always manages to cook the most delicious, mouth-watering, fall-off-the-bone ribs you could ever want! Today I’m going to reveal some of the secrets of how he does it! [Read more…]

Roto-Rooter Products

We live in an older home, and as a result, we’ve been no stranger to plumbing problems! When we first moved in to our home, we attempted to cut off many problems at the pass by converting the plumbing from a septic system to a city sewer system. Unfortunately we still experienced a lot of problems with clogging in our sinks and bathtub, as well as leaky pipes. My husband has had to work on these several times, but last year things got so bad that we had to call out the guys at Roto-Rooter. They did a great job of replacing some old copper pipes, which has prevented us from having anymore major clogging issues. But like anyone, we still experience the occasional clogs, and for that all you need is Roto-Rooter Gel Clog Remover®.

Roto-Rooter has been a trusted name in plumbing for 80 years. Now they have a line of sewer and septic products for home and professional use with more active ingredients than other brands. The Roto-Rooter line of products includes their Gel Clog Remover, Hair Clog Remover, and Septic Treatment. [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 321 – With Natural DIY Solutions

May 19, 2016 2 Comments

Hello everyone. Happy Friday! Today’s party celebrates a theme that has become near and dear to my heart over the past couple of years: Natural DIY Solutions.

I can’t say that I’m a completely all-natural kind of a girl. I still have a number of chemical cleaners that I use, and I certainly have my share of health and beauty products that contain chemicals. But I have started using essential oils in a number of areas in my life. I have a diffuser on my desk. And I especially love using cleaners made from essential oils.

Today I’m featuring posts, which teach how to make your own laundry and dish soap, as well as a post on how to make your own lavender oil!
