Thanksgiving is a month away and I am already planning exactly what we will be doing this year. I want everything to be perfect, I always overcook or undercook everything.

HomepageFeatures_0002_PerfectPortions_329_233

Thankfully, Butterball has tons of tips on their website to help you make the perfect turkey and sides of course.

  • Be prepared-let them know what you will be cooking and how they can help. Mix up the routine a little for their enjoyment.
  • help them feel like a cooking whiz-let them feel the part with a cooking apron and hat, plus let them have their own plastic measuring spoons and utensils.
  • safety first- remind them that the stove and knifes are adult jobs and they shouldn’t lick spoons, and always wash your hands.
  • assign the right tasks-assign tasks that are age appropriate and they can handle.
    have a blast-cooking can be a great way to bond with your child so relax and have fun.
  • If you have trouble at all on Thanksgiving, you can call the Butterball Turkey Talk Line 1800-Butterball (1800-288-8372).

Our New Oral Care Routine #SPONSORED #MC

- brandy3

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for LISTERINE. I received samples for this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

For the past few weeks we have been working on our new oral care routine by using LISTERINE products. I have been trying to teach my kids the importance of brushing and flossing. After all they don’t want end up with cavities and other problems.

My kids have been getting into the routine every night Brush, Floss and then rinse. I love how LISTERINE has mouth wash specifically designed for kids that won’t their mouth uncomfortable, plus they love how it has their favorite characters. My daughter also loves how the LISTERINE FLOSS is minty between your teeth when you use it.

IMG_1075

IMG_1076

The LISTERINE HEALTHY WHITE GENTLE rinse is a little to strong for me, as there is a burning sensation, but I know it is working to keep my mouth fresh.
My biggest weakness is soda, I know it’s bad for your teeth, but it is one of the things I love to drink. That and coffee every now and again. So I make sure to brush and rinse as much as I can to keep my teeth white.

My favorite product though would have to be the FLOSSER. It can be a bit hard to get the floss to reach all the way to my back teeth. The FLOSSER helps and is gentle and easy on my teeth. The perfect way to make sure you get to floss every tooth. I have seen a big improvement in my teeth, and so has my dentist.

Has your oral care routine changed? Have you found the products that make you love to brush and care for your teeth?

You can find LISTERINE products at retailers nationwide, visit here to find the closest near you.

I am only 30, but I have problems with bladder leakage at times. It’s to be expected though I have had 3 kids, and all my kids have been big babies.
When I sneeze or cough it’s the worst. I always have to make sure I have some kind of pantyliner on, or I will be running to change every few hours.
It can be embarrassing specially if I am out in public. I hate feeling like I am wearing a diaper though. So I always look for the thinnest liner I can find, Always Discreet is perfect.

Johnny Rockets Gives That Old School Feeling

- brandy3

When I attended Blogger Bash in NYC a few months ago, I was honored with getting to meet with one of the sponsors Johnny Rockets. They even provided us with Milk Shakes to make our own at the conference.
It was a great experience and we love Johnny Rockets, so my kids were super excited to hear that we would be eating their soon. They love their food and atmosphere.
We have two local Johnny Rockets here in Long Island. One is in a shopping mall and a bit informal, the other is in a outlet center and is a actual sit down restaurant.

The restaurant is very small, but the setting makes you feel at home.
When we visited we were welcomed right away and seated immediately.
The food is a basic american restaurant, they have hamburgers, sandwiches, salads etc. They are world famous for their milk shakes though, they are the best.

PICT0036

We just ordered hamburgers Fries and a drink. It was so delicious, It’s one of the few fast food restaurants that actually puts mayo on a burger instead of ketchup. While we were eating the jukebox was blasting and a old song came on “Just A Little Bit” and we were Delighted with the waitresses dancing and singing along. My kids just thought it was the funniest thing.
