Spark the Swiffer Effect With the Big Green Box

Hi lovelies!  Today I'm talking to you about Swiffer and its awesome Big Green Box.  I was recently sent 2 (!) Big Green Boxes from Swiffer - one to keep and one to give to a friend/family member.  I'm such a huge fan of Swiffer's products because they make life sooo much easier and they work great.  What more could you want? 

I was so stoked to get a new sweeper and both wet and dry pads.  My kiddos think it's the coolest thing ever and fight over who gets to do it.  Seriously, it's pretty awesome.  The dusters are so great, I won't dust any other way.  And again, the kids think it's so rad and they want to dust for me.  It's so fun for them to be able to share in the chores especially now that they're getting older and they want an allowance.  This makes life easier for me because they can mop the floors and dust everything for me - 2 of my most hated chores.  {Click to see who I gave the other box to!}

Hi lovelies!  Today I'm sharing some of my fave, easy after school kids snacks.  I think when I was in high school, these were my favorites too.  My oldest can handle heating things up in the stove, so it's perfect for her to do.  The best part is these are some filling but easy to make snacks for them to make so they can hang in there until I get home and make dinner.  {Click for more!}

Hi lovelies!  Who didn't love FROZEN the movie?  I loved it, my kids loved it, and my niece in Florida loved it so much!  I decided to send her a FROZEN themed care package but thought it would be really fun to include some ingredients to make some fake snow, or as I'm calling it, Faux Snow.  I mean, it wouldn't be the same without a snowman, would it?  {How-to after the jump!}

Back To School + Get A Shot. Give A Shot. with Walgreens

 Hi lovelies!  Welp, today my youngest starts the 4th grade.  I can't believe it.  Even more shocking is that tomorrow, my oldest starts the 8th grade.  Back to school shopping has been done even if we finished it on Saturday.  It takes a while because it's so expensive, am I right?!  While we are fortunate enough to be able to buy everything we need for school, there are others that can't.  And that really stinks to think about, especially that they could be kids in our neighborhood.  But more on that in a bit.  Back to school time also means that it's time for the kids to go to the doctor for their physicals and immunizations/vaccinations.  {More after the jump!}
