On the Road with Extended Stay America

This post is sponsored by Coupons.com. All opinions are 100% my own. This past fall we did a lot of traveling. Remember when we headed to South Dakota for the week? Or down to Chicago for the weekend? Or Florida for nearly two weeks? One of my biggest expenses on every one of those trips was food. Yes, food was a big part of our budget for every trip. One way to save some money on the meal budget is finding a hotel that has a kitchen in it. Extended Stay America could have saved me a bundle on ...

Nourish Your Skin with Petal Fresh

Petal Fresh Hand and Body Lotion

It's winter time and we live in the Midwest. That means I am constantly out in the bitter cold and spending time in building with forced dry, hot air. All this takes a toll on my skin. Especially my hand. They are so dry! I've been using the Petal Fresh softening hand and body lotion in the rose and honeysuckle fragrance for a while now. And I can honestly say, I feel and see the difference. The first time I used Petal Fresh I instantly noticed the quality. The lotion is thick and creamy ...

Discover Carnival Hot Cocoa by Brooklyn Bean Roastery

Brooklyn Bean Roastery Carnival Hot Cocoa

One of my favorite things to do in winter is to sip hot cocoa. More evenings than not end up with Peyton and I enjoying a hot cup of cocoa before bed. Brooklyn Bean has a hot cocoa that is not your average cocoa. It's called - Carnival Hot Cocoa! And the flavor is salted caramel! In my opinion, this is a hot cocoa for moms and dads. It's not a standard hot chocolate as it has a little twist. When I brewed my first cup of Carnival Hot Cocoa the aroma of chocolate and caramel filled the air. I ...
