My WAHM Plan

Hello June and hello summer gardening chores! From pulling weeds, to mowing, to trimming trees, my husband and I are working outside to spruce up our landscape most every weekend now.  I love living this semi-rural lifestyle, but trust me when I say, there is a lot of hard work and upkeep involved and more often than not, our hard work has us both saying we have a backache by the end of the day. Thankfully, we’d discovered the benefits of using Salonpas products years ago, so when I was asked if I would help spread the word about Salonpas Day where they give away free patches I happily agreed! Read on to see how you can ease back pain with a free Salonpas patch this month!

 If you've followed my blog for any length of time, you've noticed my love of books and giveaways, so imagine my delight when I was asked to share both with you today, my birthday! It seemed like a fantastic way to celebrate my special day by giving you something too. After all, if it weren't for you, my wonderful readers, I wouldn't also be celebrating my blogs ten year anniversary this year! So, thank you again, and now I'm going to share a conversation with author Peggy Trotter talking about her newest book, The Misfit Bride,  plus share details on a $25 Amazon gift card giveaway along with other book swag!

My family and I love shopping at our local Aldi grocery store. No other grocery offers me the same quality produce, meat, and dairy, plus a wide and varied selection of organic products all at affordable process. I can’t sing the praises of this store enough, so I was delighted when I was asked if I’d like to receive a copy of The Unofficial ALDI®  Cookbook to review and host a giveaway. Read on to learn about Aldi and enter the giveaway.

What’s your favorite Star Wars movie? When I’m asked this question, usually on May 4^th, I reply I can’t choose a favorite and I stand by that. I love so many of the Star Wars characters, from both the new movies and the classics! Imagine my delight when I learned that Cratejoy has a Star Wars monthly subscription box! I’m geeking out over here and thought I’d share this cool find too.

It would only take you a minute in our kitchen to know foodies live here. Our cabinets are full of seasonings, varieties of salts and peppers, dried herbs and so on. If you look in our fridge and pantry, you’ll find lots of condiments and sauces sorted (usually) by cuisine. My husband and I love to cook! Imagine my delight when an email about Holic Foods Sauces landed in my inbox. Yes, of course I would love to try their sauces and host a giveaway! Today, we are getting saucy with Holic Foods Sauces, sharing one of their favorite recipes and hosting a giveaway for a box of their sauces!
