20% Off #HimalayanSalt Lamp from Himalayan Salt Shop!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.



I have a grown son with a girlfriend who is an esthetician. That same son was here visiting not long ago, and he went nuts over my lamp from the Himalyan Salt Shop...not for himself, but for his girl. I guess it's something she always says she wants to buy. It also happened to be very close to the time they were going to celebrate their third year dating anniversary...so guess what my son ended up getting for his girl? Yep, the same lamp. She was DE-lighted! When she got her gift, she texted me a picture of her lamp all lit up at night, which made me laugh. I understand what all the fuss is about though, these lamps really are pretty great.

Some Things Really are Worth the Price! Audio Technica Bluetooth Headphones

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.


Headphones can run anywhere from $1.99 in a department store, to hundreds of dollars...so if you're in the market to buy a pair, you probably wonder why anyone would pay the latter, when the former pair works just fine. Well, the cheaper pair will work just fine, but only for a very short time (sometimes they only last a day before you have a problem). A quality purchase, like you'll find at Audio-Technica, takes away all of your headphone worries because you'll know in an instant that you're going to get high quality sound, durability, comfort and style.

Magical View Room at Park Inn by Raddison in Orlando

Park Inn by Raddison Resort & Conference Center Orlando

I used to think that it was ridiculous to pay a lot of money for a hotel room, and then not hardly use it all because you were out and about all day and night long doing something in the area. Then I stayed at a budget motel... to prove my point. Let me just say, a). I was wrong and b). never again!! So this trip, we opted to go back to our norm and stay someplace so much nicer. The Park Inn by Radisson Resort & Conference Center, located in sunny Orlando, Florida was in a word, 'perfect!' It's not 'cheap' but it's definitely affordable and you and your family will love it!

Everglades Holiday Park: We Took an Airboat Tour of the Everglades!!

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by US Family Guide and Everglades Holiday Park.


This is a good friend of mine and my kids are lucky enough to call her aunt. She looks sweet and innocent, but I'm telling you, she's a crazy woman when it comes to adventure! For the last 13 years we've lived in separate states (though we did visit each other from time to time. She even flew up to Michigan to help decorate my youngest son's nursery...yeah, that's a good friend). That means we've got a lot of fun time to make up for, and to help us do that, this summer we've created a 'bucket list' of sorts that we're slowly ticking off one by one. Some of the things she puts on there really stretch my adventure zone. ;)  I'm no slouch in the adventure department, mind you. I'll travel most anywhere, ride any rollercoaster, and I really am down with trying new things... but some things make me nervous...like driving fast, airboats (not the boat itself, just the fact that we're over dangerous things...I know weird, we'd probably never end up in the drink, but if we did... lol!), and white water rafting (something on her list we haven't done yet *gasp*).

10 Things I'm Loving This Summer! All Items $30 and Under (most for much less)!!

Our family has been doing quite a few things this summer, making it one of our best ever yet!! Along the way we've also been sent some products to test out and see how we feel about them. Some I like, some I don't. I'm going to list my top 10 favorites here, and you can see if you might like them too. Please note, these are in no particular order of favoritism, as they are all very different from one another...the common bond they have is that they're all just items I like owning.

The Sip & Spin Cup has a pinwheel that spins every time you take a drink.
