Have Some Summer FUNd with Dr Pepper

May 3, 2016 by hewella1 Leave a Comment

Summer is almost here and that means vacations! I always have to stick to a budget when I plan my vacations. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could win some money to have some fun this summer? You actually can! You can have some summer fun with Dr Pepper® and Walmart with the #SummerFUNd Sweepstakes.

I enjoy a Dr Pepper about once a week. It is a great way to satisfy my sweet tooth instead of reaching for the chocolate. It is swimsuit season after all! They even have a new flavor, Dr Pepper Cherry, that I had never seen before. I am going to have to try it next time.

At Home Shopping Spree!

April 21, 2016 by hewella1

A couple of weeks ago, I let you see what spring project I am tackling this year. You also saw how sad my sun room looks. Well, I got to go on a little shopping spree to help remedy that. I was so excited to go to my local At Home store to check out what they had that can turn my pathetic sun room into an outdoor oasis.

Before heading out to the store, I checked the HGTV website to see if I could get some inspiration because I am not a designer at all! They had some cute design ideas and I kind of settled on the color scheme that I wanted to go with so I was interested to see what At Home had that I could use to put it all together.

Teach Kids about Volunteering with Chuck E. Cheese’s FUNdraising

April 12, 2016 by hewella1

Teaching kids about volunteering is something that can be fun. It’s great to let them know how important it is to help others in the world and in their own community. April is National Volunteer Month so now is a great time to get involved with a cause that is important to you and your family.

If you need a starting off point, you may want to visit your local Chuck E. Cheese’s for a fun day out with the kids. They are holding a donation drive for the nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters. All you have to do is mention that you would like to donate at the register and you can donate $1, $5, or any amount that you would like. You then get to pin up your or your child’s name to the wall to show that you made a donation for such a good cause.

Need a Quick Dinner Plan? KFC Zinger is Available in Charlotte!

March 25, 2016 by hewella1 Leave a Comment

I wish I liked to cook all the time but I just don’t. I needed a quick and easy dinner idea to get my family fed one weeknight. KFC had sent me some gift cards to try out the new KFC Zinger that is available for a limited time only in the Charlotte and St. Louis markets. Since I’m in the Queen City, I had to see what all of the fuss was about!

We had a chance to go out and have a nice family dinner. It was made even nicer by the fact that I didn’t have to cook! I was tired from chasing a two year old around all day and I just wanted to sit and relax with my family. My fiancé and I had the new Zinger sandwiches. I got it as a $5 Fill Up meal that came with potato wedges, a medium drink, and a cookie. You get a lot of food for the price.

Hallmark’s New Valentine’s Day Gifts

No matter what the holiday, I’m pretty sure Hallmark is a big part of it. They have beautiful cards but they also have Valentine’s Day gifts as well. I was sent a few of their new items to try out and to give to my little Valentine.

#LoveHallmark

Hallmark really does have a card for everyone! I was sent 6 of their new cards for Valentine’s Day, including cards from the Signature collection, all-new itty bitty Valentines and new cards from Hallmark designers Justin & Tuesday Spray.
