Create A TeeSpring.com Shirt for a Cause. Need Fundraising ideas?? Check TeeSpring out.

Teespring is a crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel.

I played around with the Create Your Tee Software and can honestly say it is easy to use, and you can also upload your own graphics to the t-shirt.  The prices are also reasonable, Depending on basic (Just text, can range from $7.00, to With your own Logo with Text up to $9.00.) Sites like Teespring make it easy to customize a T-Shirt Project, Fast, Easy, and Affordable.

Anyone can come and design a shirt which they can then sell via Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else online. The seller keeps all of the profit the shirt earns. People use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money.

Just a few ideas that come to mind,  are kids after school programs.  Communities looking to improve. Families that need help.  Really, you can design a t-shirt for anything.  Maybe your son graduates this year, and you want a Higher Education T-shirt to help with college tuition.  Or your daughter starts band, and you can't afford her instrument.  I know if someone I knew, needed something, and something as simple as a t-shirt would help spread the word, and donate to a cause, I would help.

The best part is the shirts don't print and ship until a set end date determined by the seller. This means they pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don't have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.

You can play with the designer if you go to teespring.com/design

Here are some cool examples of what people have done with the site.

A couple sold this "Love makes a family shirt" to raise money to adopt: http://teespring.com/chrisandshelleyadopt

Pledge to drink more water this summer & enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win! #ad #hydrationmovement

Join The Hydration Movement by clicking here to pledge!

Being a first time Mom, and not wanting to deal with making overly sugary drinks I have found that buying Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water makes it easier to grab, and drink for the importance of keeping the family hydrated.  It's disheartening that 64% of children are insufficiently hydrated when they leave for school in the morning, My 2 year old will even get himself a bottle of water sometimes, because he knows it quenches your thirst.  I feel as if I am doing something right when he grabs that, and doesn't ask for things like soda, or koolaid.  We normally always have atleast 4, 24 packs of water in the house for the "Just in case," scenario.  There are also recycle places all over Columbus, Ohio here, so it's pretty easy to recycle now.

My mom's word of wisdom is to Always be prepared, because you never know where life may take you.

Don't forget to check out Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water Life On Facebook  to take the Pledge to drink more water and share your own Mom’s Wisdom story.

There is also a Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water Sweepstakes On Facebook for a chance to win the grand prize trip for four (4) to Universal Studios Hollywood or Universal Orlando Resort, or one of the 100 first prizes of a one year’s supply of Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water and receive a downloadable coupon to save $1.00 on two (2) .5-Liter or 8 oz. Multi-Packs of Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water (15-pack or larger).

Luma Comfort Air Purifier Review & Giveaway!

Hi all! I am uber excited to share with you a giveaway for the Luma Comfort Air Purifier.  I use mine daily, and I notice a huge difference in the quality of the air in my living room, and dining room.  I don't turn my AC on, and before using this purifier, I would open my front door and complain about "the smell." My husband says I have super human scent sensory. I also have a stinky 2 year old.. so yeah, lol.  I don't even turn on my old air purifier anymore.  This one has became my new favorite.  Not only is it easy to set up,  there are also 5 stages/filters (a carbon pre-filter, HEPA filter, VOC filter, TiO2 filter and UV light) it goes through, and,captures over 99% of common airborne pollutants such as dust, dander, mold, bacteria and chemicals.

Now is your chance to enter, and win your own Luma Comfort Air Purifier!!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

I like that the Luma Comfort Air Purifier is more compact, and it has more layers for the air to be filtered. The fan I had before was knocked over by my 2 year old, and the base was broken, it's also nearly impossible to clean, I have to unscrew the back, and vacum it out. The Luma Air it's as easy as pushing buttons on the sides, and the front opens up.  The Luma Comfort Air Purifier is my favorite now.. there is no base to knock over and break!! So far I've had it almost 3 weeks, and my little one stands in front of it because the air comes out really fast, and far on the 3rd setting.  He checked it out, and it passed the Sy test. I def. recommend the Luma Air Purifier.

Couch Rebels, Because Stories Like These Aren't Told by Potatoes.. #Ad

Couch Rebels, Because Stories Like These Aren't Told by Potatoes.. I don't want to be a Potatoe! Every book purchased there is also a donation made for clean water( 1 book = 3 people with clean water.)

What’s the book all about?

Couch rebels are people who have been outside their comfort zones (whether voluntary or involuntary) and have allowed those experiences to change their lives. While the rest of society is imitating potatoes, couch rebels are learning, growing, and experiencing the incredible things life has to offer.

These moments of adventure provide us with our best stories. Nobody’s going to tell their kids about how they beat their favorite video game. But for the rest of their lives they’ll talk about the time they backpacked through India or when they fed a homeless person.

This July, show and share the LOVE for parks and recreation!

Do you LOVE your local parks and recreation? Then go on, brag about it this July and tell everyone what makes them so great! You might even WIN some great PRIZES!

Absolutely, love, nature.  There would be no life, without it. This was a collage I did for Earth Day.

Check out the Show UR Love for Parks and Recreation Weekly Photo Contest! Submit photos that express your love for local parks and recreation areas following our weekly themes and get your friends to vote. We'll be rewarding weekly prizes of $100 gift cards and a grand prize of one $500 gift card at the end of the month. Find out more information and get those cameras ready!

I absolutely love our Metro Parks here in Central Ohio.  Below is from my last trip to High Banks.

Find participating Park and Recreation Month locations. We'll be updating this list frequently so check back! If you don't see your local park and rec on here, don't worry! Check your local listings to see what might be going on in your community.

Don't forget to follow National Recreation and Park Association on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

July is national Park and Recreation Month and your local parks are encouraging everyone to come out this month and experience all the wonderful aspects of parks and recreation. Nationwide, recreation departments have organized events and activities to help families spend quality time together, enjoy nature and get active. This provides a great opportunity to not only make the most of the beautiful weather, but also to take a stand against the obesity epidemic and technology trends that consistently keep more kids indoors and living less active lifestyles.

As part of Park and Recreation Month, the National Recreation and Park Association is encouraging everyone to show the love for local parks and recreation and wants everyone to answer the question, "I Love my Parks and Recreation Because..." They have a fill in the blank social media poster that can be filled in and shared, and a fun month-long weekly photo contest that encourages everyone to show and share the LOVE for local parks!The NRPA website includes information on all of the above initiatives, free downloadable resources as well as a calendar of events scheduled nationwide.

With kids out of school, the vacation celebration includes bouncing off the walls and fighting over the TV, tablet and computer screen. Think about your summer days as a kid - spending time outside hunting for salamanders, playing kickball with neighborhood friends, exploring the trails and woods, fun summer camp days at your local rec center, and swimming until your fingers shriveled. Many of us have so many happy memories from summertime and want our children to have those same experiences too.


While we can always tell them of the fun we had as kids, it is so much better to show them. And you know what, you don't have to go far to have these enriching experiences that make lasting memories - you just have to head to your local parks and recreation. There are great places right in your community to go have some family fun all summer long!


Show your LOVE!

Download and print out the official Park and Recreation Month poster and fill in the blank with the reasons you love your local park and recreation in your community! Then take a picture or even video yourself, family, and friends with this poster so you can show the LOVE.

Post the photos and videos to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Websites, and blogs. Tag NRPA and/or email the link to July@nrpa.org. Use the hashtag #ParkRecLuv!

They'll be featuring many of these photos in social media posts, on  Facebook covers and possibly in future issues of our magazine! Please note, Park and Recreation Month is a family-friendly activity. Please no distasteful or vulgar photos or videos.

This was a sponsored Ad, tho I do love our local parks, and I believe sometimes we do have to go out, and breath in some fresh, clean air when we can.  So I think it's a great thing to take our children out. The nature photos are of parks I've been to in Ohio! Hope you enjoyed, and take your loved ones out too.

Bottled Tea that is still Tea!! Honest Tea.

Love, love, love these teas from Honest Tea.  With flavors like, Honey Green Tea, Half & Half Sweet Tea, not too Sweet Tea, Peach White Tea, and even Honest ade, Pomegranate Blue, and Orange Mango you seriously have a flavor for every mood you're in.

I'm one of those people that can't drink the same things, over and over again.  I like to be able to have an option, on what I'm feeling for the day. I also have those lazy days that I don't feel like brewing my own tea either.

Maybe I'm in the mood for Rasberry Fields Tea, Peach Oo-La Long Tea, Just Black Tea, Moroccan Mint Green Tea, or just Green Tea.  Why should I feel guilty about not making my own tea when Honest Tea has Organic, USDA Grade Teas that you can actually taste the tea, and not the overly sweet, and fake flavors in some of the other Bottled Teas out there. Honest Tea also uses PET plastic bottles.  There are NO GMO's in Honest Tea either.  I will never understand why things like that have to be added to our drinks.  I went straight for the Moroccan Mint Green Tea.  It wasn't sweet, which I like, and I could taste the tea with just a hint of mint.  I can't stand flavors that overpower each other, and this is just blended perfectly. Honest Teas are all pretty low calorie,  the Moroccan Mint Green Tea is only 34 calories for the whole bottle.  That's not even all of their flavors, there are SO MANY different flavors, even zero calorie teas, and Honest Kids pouches.  You should check them out on their website www.honesttea.com, Honest Tea on Facebook, and Honest Tea on Twitter.  

Honestly, there is nothing to NOT love about these flavors of tea.  I find it admirable, and believe more companies should take que from Honest Tea for investing in Fair Trade and securing organic ingredients to promote organic agriculture. When did Tea stop being tea?? Not the case with Honest Tea. 

I received product to facilitate an Honest Review.

New #Purex Fabric Softener Sheets! Review & #Giveaway!

Being a Purex Insider has its perks! I just received the new Purex Fabric Softener Sheets for Mountain Breeze.  If you are familiar with the Detergent you know it's a fresh air, clean, water aroma.  It's not perfumey, and it's not too bland.  I would consider it just a clean scent.

To get the full effect of Mountain Breeze Dryer Sheets, I used the Mountain Breeze Detergent first (You don't have to, but I already love the Mountain Breeze smell, it's my favorite Purex, next to the Purex with Oxi.) Soon as I removed a sheet from the box, I wanted to see how well it unfolded.  Unfolded it tripled in size.  

Once the clothes were done in the wash, I put them, and just one dryer sheet into the dryer.  While the clothes were drying I could smell the Mountain Breeze through out the house.  I absolutely love the smell of clean laundry being done.  My laundry room is in its own double closet with double doors between the living room, and kitchen.  I think I really enjoy it because the house smells Clean, and hubby comes home thinking I did a lot that day.  Shhhh. 

While folding the clothes, I liked the fact there was no static cling, and the clothes were soft, and still could smell the fresh scent. 

Overall verdict: Great fabric softener sheet, and I will continue to use them! 

Disclaimer: I received product to facilitate a review.  All opinions, and photos are my own.

Walks The Walk Giveaway, and Geritol Review! Win A $25.00 GC, Multivitamins, and pedometers.

I have been taking Geritol Multivitamins for about a month now.  What I like about these vitamins is it's lack of taste.  There is no weird vitamin after taste at all.  I also like that the pills are normal sized, and not monsterious. 

What made me want to try Geritol was the balance of 26 essential vitamins & minerals all into one pill.  

What made me continue to take the vitamins, was it's energy support from B-Vitamins, Immune system support from antioxidants, and Bone Health Support from Vitamin D. 

I am a firm believer that even if I eat as many fresh vegetables, and fruits, I am still not getting all the vitamins my body needs.  That is why I take vitamins.  It really is annoying when multivitamins want you to take a few a day for serving size.  Also, always remember to ask a doctor before taking any kind of pills, even multivitamins.  

I like how these vitamins make me feel.  I've been getting up earlier, and going to bed sooner.  

Does Contain Soy, and you can take the tablet daily immediately before, during, or after a meal.  Age 12+.

Enter to win a bottle of Geritol Multivitamins, and a $25.00 Giftcard that can be used to buy a new pair of New Balanced Sneakers, along with two Geritol Pedometers to go out walking with.
