Here we are, just three short weeks away from Thanksgiving
and I haven’t finished half my fall cleaning chores found on my checklists here
and here. Being a homemaker at heart,
it’s tough for me to admit my home isn’t in “company ready” condition and I could
share with you a handful of excuses, but instead- I’m going to swing into
action and share my Holiday Hostess cleaning checklist that will help you and I
be ready to greet family and friends in no time.
We all know that feeling- the dull ache in the back of your
head, the itchy nose, and the tickle in your throat. I woke up to all those on
Sunday morning, but refused to name it. By Tuesday, I was waving the white flag
and admitting I had a cold. I have zero energy and appetite by this time, but
thankfully, I had received a complimentary bundle of Greens Plus superfood powders and energy
bars to try and I am really thankful I did!
Greens Plus products are non-gmo, gluten, soy, dairy free and have been helping people live healthier happier lives
since 1989. Since my cold was making me feel anything but healthy or happy, I
decided to give their energy bar and Advanced Multi wild berry superfood powder
a try.
Why try something new while suffering with a cold? Because Greens
Plus has incorporated into their proprietary blend so
many nutritionals that target the total body organs and cells. Literally, it is
hard to find a competitor who would do the same and I needed to give my body
some much needed nutritional help pronto!
Greens Plus bars are thick and
dense and quite tasty. Even with a cold. I really loved the dark chocolate
energy plusbar with dates, almond butter and superfood greens. Greens Plus says the food from Greens Plus
when consumed delivers quick satiety results by feeding the body on the
cellular levels and delivering the so needed energy to do what we need on the
daily basis and I completely agree. After eating just one bar, I felt full and
had a bit more energy.
You know how hard it is to stay
hydrated when you are battling a cold, so later in the evening; I decided to
give their Advanced Multi Wild Berry superfood powder a try. I wanted to really
taste this blend, so I’d know what type of smoothie it would work best in, so I
mixed it in water, shook it up in the handy Greens Plus shaker cup and said
bottoms up!
Trust me, it tastes a lot better
than this color makes you think it would. I was able to drink almost the whole
8 ounces in record time, so I know adding it to a smoothie, or blending it into
a favored juice will be an easy way for me to add superfood goodness to snacks
and drinks in the future.
If you want to bounce back from a
cold faster, or just add a healthy dose of targeted nutrition for the total
body, I invite you to learn more about Greens Plus, by visiting their website and
by looking for their products at these retailers.

Thanks to lots of rest and the healthy boost I’m getting from Green Plus
products, I’m feeling much better today and hope to have this cold gone by tomorrow.
From our home to yours we wish you a very happy, safe, healthy Halloween!

When Love, Hallmark sent out an email to their blogger group asking if we’d like to work on this campaign, I practically begged them to pick me to review and host a giveaway. Thankfully, my “enthusiastic” email was rewarded and I am honored to present the Hallmark 2015 Keepsake ornament giveaway for the flying Ace! While I did receive this ornament free of charge to thank me for my time, my love of all things Peanuts, and most especially Snoopy, are 100% my own.
My family and I aren’t alone in our love of the Peanuts gang. Young and old alike love all things Peanuts- but when Snoopy becomes The Flying Ace, something magical happens. That magical essence has been lovingly captured in this Hallmark keepsake ornament.
Jim Kemme, the Hallmark Keepsake artist who worked on this piece missed no detail. The grimace on the Flying Ace’s face, the perfect shade of red on the plane, the goggles and cap, all work brilliantly to help us root on the Flying Ace as he races to save the day! When duty and adventure calls, he’s up, up and away! You can learn more about the artist and the ornament by visiting Hallmark here.
This ornament has an extra element of cool because with the push the button you will hear the Flying Ace sound off! The batteries are included when you purchase or win it- but be warned, getting the batteries in is tricky! You’ll need a small screwdriver to open the back and a bit of patience as you jockey both button batteries into place. Dexterity will prevail and you’ll hear the Flying Ace take off in no time!
If you love the Peanuts gang, Hallmark invites you to enter to win a hometown screening of the new Peanuts movie for you and 300 of your closest friends and neighbors! Hurry! This sweeps ends October 31, 2015!

With two weeks to go until Halloween
arrives, Americans coast to coast are gearing up for this fun filled night in a
big way. At our house, we still need to carve our pumpkins and find a few more
accessories for our costumes, but we will be ready to celebrate in style! Yes,
we do have to drive to celebrate now that we live in a rural area, but there is
fun to be found in neighborhoods all around us. As a matter of fact, Nashville, TN.
made the list for top 20 cities for trick-or-treaters compiled by Zillow.
This map shows the top 10 cities. Zillow says they picked
areas with the greatest share of their residents are under 15 and the houses
are closest together. That would help explain why San Francisco tops their list
for the 5th year in a row!
Another way these cities made the cut was by giving out the
most candy to all those cute goblins! Speaking of candy, do you know that the
average kids gets at least 50 pieces of candy on Halloween? Some kids have
reported getting more than 100 pieces! I know we gave out and received a huge
amount of candy each year we lived in suburbia, maybe that helped Nashville,
TN. make the top 20 list!
How did your city do? Are there any surprises on the list? I
was delighted to see Milwaukee on the list. Can you imagine all those brave
parents and kids bundling up against the cold to go trick-or-treating? Way to
go! Please stop by Zillow to read all the fun facts on how they came up with
their top 20 list and see the in depth neighborhood breakdowns.
From our home to yours, we wish you a happy, safe, and fun
Halloween!
