CELEBRATE NATIONAL COFFEE DAY WITH LEANER CREAMER
In honor of National Coffee Day Today, celebrate the most beloved morning beverage with Leaner Creamer, the world’s first natural powdered creamer. Available in Original and Hazelnut, Leaner Creamer is a delicious addition to your morning java that helps to promote healthy weight management.
The concept behind Leaner Creamer is simple: to replace hydrogenated and trans-fat filled creamers consumed by millions of people every day with a healthier alternative. Its unique, proprietary formula includes coconut oil, citrus aurantium extract, hoodia and green tea extract, which work together to help speed the metabolism, aid digestion, increase lipolysis (the breakdown of lipids including fats) and suppress hunger.
Each bottle (280 grams/9.87 ounces) is non-dairy (less than .05% lactose-free milk derivative), gluten-free and sugar-free (zero grams of sugar per serving). Ideal for those with lactose intolerance, its powdered form allows it to be conveniently stored at room temperature, with no need to refrigerate. Leaner Creamer is available on LeanerCreamer.com for $19.95 per bottle.
Leaner Creamer also recently debuted three proprietary coffee blends: Tiffany’s Breakfast Blend- Light Roast, Natasha’s Sunrise Blend- Medium Roast and Veronica’s Brew- Dark Roast.
Leaner Creamer Artisanal Coffee is created by using the best combination of beans married with a superb roasting process. Available on LeanerCreamer.com for $9.95, each blend is pre-ground for your convenience and comes in 12-oz. air-sealed, hand-crafted bags to preserve freshness.

Safety 1st UltraMax Air 360 4 In 1 Car Seat Review And ~~Giveaway~~ #AirProtectTour
**All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I was not compensated for this post. I was given product for review purposes.**
"Over 30 years ago, our little yellow BABY ON BOARD® sign became a badge of pride for new parents. Soon after, we launched the first true collection of home safety products and established ourselves as the leader in child safety. This role has grown over the years as we continue to introduce new and innovative products to parents, consistently giving you the power to keep your children safe."
I have two children. Both boys were born premature. Ben weighed in at a whopping 1 lbs 7 oz, and Doug was only 2 lbs 2 oz. Ben Sr and I know the importance of Safety and finding the best car seat when it comes to kids. We had to get specialty car seats for both boys before we could bring them home from the hospital. They both weighed less then 5 lbs, and most car seats were designed for children 5 lbs and up.
Our go to company for most baby products over the years has been Safety 1st. They carry everything from the yellow Baby On Board sign, to car seats, to high chairs, to even play yards. We have been using their car seats and child safety locks in particular for many years.
When I was offered the chance to review their new Safety 1st UltraMax Air 360 4 In 1 Car Seat, I was very excited. This is the car seat of all car seats. With this, you never need to buy another one!
FEATURES
4-in-1 car seat: Rear-facing for small babies 4-22 pounds, extended rear-facing for toddlers 15-50 pounds, forward-facing 22-65 pounds, and belt-positioning booster 40-120 pounds and 57″ tall
360 Protect™ provides 6 layers of safety
- Air Protect® for superior side impact protection
- GCell™ HX patented race car foam absorbs crash energy
- Steel reinforced frame for additional stability
- Motion control headrest contains movement
- Deep seat structure shields child
- Soft foam throughout the seat for additional safety and comfort
Crash tested from every angle: front, rear, side and rollover impacts
ClickClean™ machine washable and dryer safe seat pad, lifts away easily from the seat frame
QuickFit™ system for easy 10 position adjustment of both harness and headrest with one hand in one step
2 removable, dishwasher-safe cup holders
3-position recline makes it easy to get a good fit in your car
Reversible comfort pillows adapt as your child grows
Harness holders help keep the harness straps out of the way, making it easier to buckle your child into the seat
Color coded belt paths, labels and instructions make installation easier
Easy access belt path opens during installation, making it easier to see the belt and ensure that your seat is installed correctly
LATCH equipped
Exceeds Federal Safety Standards
Exceeds European Rollover Standard, (ECE R44 Supplement 7)
My favorite feature of this car seat is of course the fact that it grows with your child. We tested the seat out with both Doug who still needs a booster seat, and the newest contributing baby to my website, my niece Allison!
Doug loved how comfortable the seat is, and of course the two cup holders! Ben Sr and I love how easy it was to convert it to a toddler booster seat. All you have to do is pull the handle at the top of the seat up.
Allie was not as big of a fan at first. I think it was because she was only one week old, and not use to car seats yet.
Once I told her that the car seat had cup holders, she started to like it!
Converting the seat between infants that need to lay down, and bigger kids that can sit up is super easy as well.
The base is designed to make adjusting the position of the seat simple for parents to use with just one hand, but still very sturdy to keep your children safe.
This car seat is a little bit bigger then some of the standard car seats out there, but it is very light weight compared to other brands of grow with your child seats.
The safety measures that were taken to make sure this seat is safe were extensive. Check out this video to learn more.
If you are shopping for a car seat, and want the very best out there, you need to check out the UltraMax Air 360 4 in 1 Car Seat. You can purchase it at Babies R Us, or at Babies R Us online.
I am very happy to let you know that the great folks at Safety1st would like to offer one lucky reader their own UltraMax Air 360 4 in 1 Car Seat!

@Pupperoni Has Our Pup Saying 'Woof Yeah' This International Bacon Day! #baconpup #woofyeah
**All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I was not compensated for this post. I was given product for review purposes.**
Bacon: Man's Best Friend's, Best Friend
Is there any better feeling than sharing a moment of pure happiness with your pooch? Literally nothing makes me happier than seeing our dog's tail wagging when he gets a taste of his favorite treats - I feel like I'm just as excited as he is! So when I saw that International Bacon Day was coming up on the calendar, I wanted to find a way to celebrate one of my favorite foods (who doesn't love bacon, am I right??) with my favorite four-legged friend.
We picked up Pup-peroni's new Filet Mignon & Bacon Flavors treats and brought them home for a taste test with our pooch. These treats are no joke - they're made with delicious angus steak and pack a bacon-y punch that our dog absolutely loves. Plus the soft, chewy texture gets his tail wagging - I can tell he's really loving these treats. I think I enjoy giving him these Filet Mignon & Bacon Flavors treats as much as he loves eating them!
No matter how you celebrated 'International Bacon Day', your pooch will be saying "woof yeah" to the tasty flavor of Pup-Peroni Filet Mignon & Bacon treats!
You can learn more about Pup-Peroni Filet Mignon & Bacon flavored dog snacks through the link below:

Happy Healthy Cat Month: Show the World That You and Your Cat Are #PurrfectTogether @Meow Mix
**All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I was not compensated for this post. I was given product for review purposes.**
**My Sister Erin and her new kitty!!**
September is Happy Healthy Cat Month—and there's never been a better time to show our cats some extra love.
Recently, the cat lovers at Meow Mix ran the Purrfect Together Survey, which asked cat parents around the country about their special bond with their four-legged friends. Here are some of the meow-nificent results:
83% of cats take naps with their humans
This is surprising—and not because 83% of people love napping with kitty. The bigger question is: Who are the 17% of deprived humans who don't get to experience the joy of napping with their cats?
80% of cat parents believe they can interpret their kitty's meows
While humans and cats may purr in different languages, that doesn't stop most cat mommies and daddies from understanding what their kitty wants—whether it be some treats, cat nip, or just a snuggle partner.
72% of cat parents love to surprise their kitties with treats
Speaking of treats, nothing makes a cat happier than some spontaneous, unexpected goodies from the person who cares for them the most.
55% of cats love chicken-flavored nibbles
Exciting news: Meow Mix has just released a brand new culinary-inspired food made with real chicken or salmon, Bistro Recipes—a classy meal for a classy kitty! Head over Meow Mix's new Purrfect Together web portal right meow, and you can download a coupon for $2.50 off any bag of Meow Mix Bistro Recipes.
And that's not all! You need a classy painting to go with that classy meal. On the Purrfect Together portal, you can enjoy the unique experience of converting a photo of you and your cat into a Meowsterpiece—a digital "oil" painting that helps express and immortalize your cat-love on canvas. I did it, and you should too!
Now it's time to show me how special your human-cat bond is! Post your Meowsterpiece on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the hashtag #PurrfectTogether. Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.
Wishing a fantastic Happy Healthy Cat Month to you and your feline friend!

Three Back-to-School Morning Routine Tips For the Whole Family #MilkBone #BackToSchool
Kevin is not just a dog to us. He is our baby, our best friend, our favorite brown companion!! We have had him with us for about a year and a half now. I think he likes it here!! We have a specific routine now that the boys are back in school. Kevin is pretty good about remembering, all though I know he would rather sleep in!!
It takes a little extra oomph in the morning to get Kevin out of bed. He usually climbs out of his, and runs to one of his brothers beds!!
It takes a little extra oomph in the morning to get Kevin out of bed. He usually climbs out of his, and runs to one of his brothers beds!!
Dogs and their human companions have something very important in common: both are creatures of habit.
With school back in session—it's the perfect time to make sure the whole family gets off on the right paw with the right habits at the start of the day. (And it's so much more fun when the whole family is involved!)
1. Get active with your four-legged trainer in the morning.
40% of doggy mommies and daddies do healthy things with their pups at the same time that they do healthy things for their families. By adding doggy exercise to the rest of your family's morning routine, your dog can actually begin to encourage the rest of your family to stay active!
2. Involve your kids in caring for Fido (and for themselves).
Dogs, just like young kids, need role models. 57% of dog parents who also have human children involve their kids in caring for their pet—instilling responsibility and good daily habits like brushing their teeth and taking their vitamins.
3. Make sure your dog consistently receives the nutrients necessary to live a long and happy life.
1 in 3 pet parents are confused about what's needed for proper pet nutrition, meaning many pup parents are unaware that their dogs' diets may be lacking in essential nutrients. Milk-Bone Good Morning Daily Vitamin Treats were created specifically to promote your dog's well-being and longevity. So when you're giving your kids their daily vitamins, remember that your pup needs their nutrient-packed treats too. Your dog adds so much to the family—make sure to take care of him/her for the long-term!
Learn more about Milk-Bone's Good Morning Daily Vitamins on their site:
What are your family's favorite morning routines? Tell us how you and your pooch get ready to take on the day in the comments section below!

Inside Edition Investigates Hotel Cleanliness On September 13th!! #InsideEdition #CBS
WHEN YOU CHECK INTO A HOTEL, COULD YOU BE SLEEPING ON DIRTY SHEETS?
INSIDE EDITION INVESTIGATION FOUND 1/3 OF THE HOTELS VISITED DIDN’T CHANGE THE SHEETS FROM THE PREVIOUS CHECK IN
Airing Tuesday, September 13th
New York, NY — September 12, 2016 – The thought of sleeping in a hotel bed with dirty sheets is completely gross, but that’s exactly the dirty secret INSIDE EDITION exposes when we checked in at certain hotels. In an investigation airing on Tuesday, INSIDE EDITION puts hotels to the test – the program came up with a unique way to find out whether you may be sleeping on dirty sheets - and the results might make you think twice before getting under the covers.
The program booked rooms at nine different hotels and each time sprayed a harmless and washable fluorescent paint onto the bed sheet, using a stencil that reads, “I Slept Here.” The paint is invisible to the naked eye – you can only see what’s on the sheets by turning on a ultra-violet light.
At The Candlewood Inn & Suites in Manhattan, INSIDE EDITION checked out leaving the dirty sheets with the invisible message. But were the sheets changed? The next day, INSIDE EDITION booked the exact same room – but under a different name. When we examined the sheets under the UV light, shockingly, the same message – ‘I Slept Here’ – appeared. The sheets hadn’t been changed between guests.
When INSIDE EDITION asked the manager why the sheets weren’t changed, she replied, “I expect them to be changed every day, and that is a policy of our property.”
Was this just a simple mistake or a common occurrence – a dirty secret widespread in the hotel industry?
At a La Quinta Inn & Suites not far from Central Park, INSIDE EDITION again sprayed ‘I Slept Here’ on the bed sheets. When they returned the next day under a new reservation, INSIDE EDITION again found that the sheets were not changed.
When INSIDE EDITION asked to speak with the manager, he arrived to the room with a maid. She claimed she cleaned the sheets, but when the program showed them the ‘I Slept Here’ message from the previous day, they both apologized.
The manager said, “I mean, there’re no words for me to say. We expect the housekeepers to change the sheets.”
At a Residence Inn by Marriott, a hotel rated one diamond by the AAA, INSIDE EDITION spray painted the word, ‘Yuck,’ on the top of the sheet and ‘I Slept Here’ on the bottom sheet. Sure enough, when they checked in to the same room under a different name the following day, the UV lights revealed the words ‘Yuck’ and ‘I Slept Here’ still there – the sheets had not been changed.
The manager didn’t want to speak with INSIDE EDITION at first, but then stated, “We make it a custom to change every check out room sheet. However, I do not know what happened in this situation.” The Marriott Corporation apologized for what happened.
All of the hotels where INSIDE EDITION found dirty sheets stated that they take this issue seriously and took immediate action to ensure this does not recur, all saying they take great pride in the high standards of cleanliness throughout their hotels.
All in all, INSIDE EDITION checked into nine different hotel rooms, and three did not change the sheets.
For INSIDE EDITION’s full report, tune in on Tuesday, September 13. Check local listings for stations and times at www.insideedition.com.

Wild Garden Hummus Snacks. Healthy Snacks For #BackToSchool
**All opinions expressed are 100% my own. I was not compensated for this post. I was given product for review purposes.**
We believe that the world is connected through food. Wild Garden prides itself on bringing the authentic flavors of the Mediterranean right to your kitchen table.
I try to give my boys a variety of snack options. Healthy is obviously my first choice. Sometimes the healthier the food, the not so great it tastes. Luckily for me, Hummus is a big favorite in this house, and it's good for them!!
Wild Garden makes a variety of very tasty Hummus and Chips. We were sent a large variety to try!!
We were sent Original Multi-seed Crackers with Roasted Garlic Hummus, Veggie Chips with Traditional Hummus, Sea Salt Pita Chips with Sun Dried Tomato Hummus, and Quinoa Chips with Roasted Garlic Hummus.
Our personal favorites were the Sea Salt Pita Chips and the Veggie Chips!! You couldn't even tell they were veggies!! The roasted garlic hummus has a delicious kick to it, and the regular hummus is very yummy too.
I wish I could have shown you pictures of the chips, but my boys ate them all before I could get any photos taken!! You can trust me, that they were very yummy!!
You can purchase Wild Garden Chips and Hummus through their website here. Make sure to follow them on Facebook and Twitter to learn about new products and promotions!!

Whey protein provides 7gm of protein for growing bodies and sweet potatoes, adds the goodness of vegetables.
We were given the opportunity to try the new Creamy Banana Chocolate Smoothie, and it's delicious!! I had to hide them, or the boys would have eaten them all before school starts!!
The smoothies have no fat, lots of protein, and no added sugar or artificial ingredients. They are all natural and made with organic fruits and veggies!!
Nothing makes me happier as a mom then to find my boys something they love, and that is good for them!!
