Shopping made Easy!

Dawn Ultra Hand Renewal - Olay Beauty Pomegranate Splash Scent

I really love shopping for groceries every week with a toddler in my cart.  NOT. 

P&G has some of my favorite items.  They are things I shop for on a weekly basis.  Now P&G makes it easier on you with a simple way to shop in their new eStore!  It couldn’t be any easier!

Just the click of a button. 

No fighting your way through traffic and crowds trying to get your shopping done!

One of my favorite products from P&G is Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty.  I don’t need to use TWO products……I can just use one!  Instead of dish soap and hand soap on my counter, I only need Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty and it does two jobs in one bottle.

I’ve tried it and we’ve been using it for months now.  Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay doesn’t dry out your skin and also has the grease cutting power of Dawn dish liquid. 

Right now when you shop at P&G for your favorite items you’ll receive 
10% off all items now through August 31st, 2012
Great reasons to shop P&G right now!!!
Free shipping over $25
Lots of great Olympic-themed bundles, P&G is a big Olympic sponsor.

Disclosure: I make a commission on any purchases made through this post and would appreciate any support 🙂

Flashback: Alaska 2002

I decided to post some Alaska trip pictures here on the blog because I wanted to document all the “travels” we have had on the sidebar.  (And hopefully future travels as well!)
In 2002 Terence’s Grandpa took us all on a cruise to Alaska and we had the best time.  Terence and I were celebrating our one year anniversary as well. 
We had a great time & will always cherish the memories we made on this trip!

A DFW Blog Meetup + Our Weekend

Friday night I had the pleasure of meeting so many fabulous bloggers in the DFW area!  They were ALL so sweet and I can’t wait until we all get back together again. 
Here we are….gulp.  I don’t know why I was making that face or if I was talking about something…but ya know…I totally photo bombed this photo!
 Our fab desserts
I got a s’more and it was delish!
 
Thanks to Meagan for taking these great pictures!
If you live in the DFW area & would like to take part in meet-up events go HERE or HERE
Some more sweet gals!
You all are just precious!

This weekend we ate dinner at my in-laws house with all the cousins.  Connor LOVES getting together with all his cousins.  It’s so hot outside, but the kids love playing outside.  I am SO ready for fall!!!!
Sweet niece Ellie

We also got him The Polar Express to watch and he LOVES that movie…but since I’ve seen it 5 times this weekend I think I am going to hide it until Christmas! Eeeeeek! 

Love the weekends with my family….they are my heart.

Olympic Cupcakes

There is probably a reason I’m not a “food blogger”.  I love to eat and bake…but I ain’t the best at it ya’ll!  I just sounded like Paula Dean there….

 Here I was trying to get the the Olympic spirit…so I made these simple cupcakes with M&M’s:

Then…..they started slip sliding away…..
 “Wah-wah”
As long as they TASTE good right?
I do not like canned icing so I tried a new recipe.  It tastes great, but was a little runny.
I’d give this tryout a 7/10 🙂

Opening Ceremony

Oh my gosh the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics was awesome!
The MUSIC was my favorite…I felt the music.
It was very well directed.  Can you imagine putting that entire process together with that many people?  Amazing.  Now I want to go back to London 🙂
Especially loved the whistle song.
I may buy the album.  GO team USA! 
Blogging in my absense this weekend is Connor….

He likes the swimming, so we’ll see what he says 😉
