And while you’re here don’t forget to check my sidebar for our latest giveaways, including the Shark Rocket, a $180 value!
Today we continue our series of cleaning products and tips for the fall season. If you struggle to keep your floors clean and are always looking for the latest and greatest invention to help out, look no further! Today I’m sharing my new Shark Rocket Ultralight Upright
Prior to getting the Shark Rocket, I had a full size canister vacuum as well as a stick vac AND a hand vac. Let’s talk about these first:
-My full size canister vac did a good job of cleaning up everyday messes, but it was such a pain to drag out! It also didn’t pick up everything, and the attachments were kind of a pain in the neck, more than a help.
-I had actually stopped using my full size vacuum entirely, and I mostly used my stick vac, because it is lightweight. But it lacked powerful suction and had no attachments.
-And as for my hand vac, well, I bought it and used it maybe three times. It was a total waste of money!
Enter the Shark Rocket!

There’s almost nothing I love more than sitting down for a great meal! I generally think there’s nothing better than a home cooked meal (especially when someone else has cooked!), but sometimes work and school schedules make it difficult to bring something homemade to the table. The folks at Walmart and Coca-Cola know all about this, and that’s why they have teamed up this fall to bring us Effortless Meals. [Read more…]

I make it a point to use my blog every now and then to call attention to various charitable efforts and awareness efforts. A long while back, I told you about Truvia. It is a natural sweetener that is both calorie free and diabetic friendly, and today I’m going to tell you about how this company is partnering with the World Food Program in “Sharing a Sweet Future.” You can find stories and videos about the program here.

Today we have our final guest post of the summer series! Today’s comes from Amy at Joyful Daisy and she is sharing a delicious looking Frozen Raspberry Pie. I don’t know about you, but I love pie any time of year, and this recipe certainly sounds like a dessert for all seasons!
This delicious Frozen Raspberry Pie is a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The raspberries combined with lemon juice are so fresh, the whipped egg whites and whipped cream are so light and fluffy, and the toasted almonds in the crust adds the perfect amount of crunchiness. The other thing I love about this pie is that it can be made ahead of time. [Read more…]

With the fall season fast approaching, it is time to start thinking about football parties and holiday parties. I enjoy cooking for these events, but I hate the the clean up, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Cascade is here to make party clean up easier! [Read more…]
Also, while you’re here for the party, please take a moment and check out my latest giveaway from Old Spice featuring great products for your guy AND a StubHub gift card. [Read more…]
This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Old Spice. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.
When you live with a grown man and a teenage boy, you can never have too many “smell good” products. Our shower is always stocked with a whole host of products just for the guys! Since it takes a lot to keep them fresh and clean, I immediately jumped at the chance to try out some products from Old Spice.
Old Spice is the manliest men’s grooming brand on the planet, and through their Combos4Success campaign, they are informing guys that when they use Old Spice anti-perspirant and deodorant, body wash + 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner together the result is a manly, amazing, irresistible freshness from head to toes.
Old Spice has several scents available. From their website, I chose the Pure Sport scent. I was intrigued by the names of some of the others available (WolfThorn, LionPride, etc) but I thought the Pure Sport would be best for my guys who just want a clean and masculine smell. After receiving the products, I’m very happy with this choice. [Read more…]

I am so excited to introduce you to my newest toy….err blogging tool! I’ve been wanting a tablet for the longest time, but our budget doesn’t allow for me to just go out and spend hundreds of dollars on something like this, especially when I already have my laptop and smart phone for my blog and Etsy business. But when I heard about the new tablets at Walmart, featuring a free T-Mobile Data Plan, I immediately got excited! [Read more…]
