We were excited when we learned there´s a familiar family-favorite breakfast cereal in the mainstream cereal aisle that's perfect for gluten-free and wheat-free food seekers!
Five wholesome Chex® cereals offer a variety of flavor - and lots of versatility - in every box. Rice Chex, Corn Chex, Honey Nut Chex, Chocolate Chex, and Cinnamon Chex have been reformulated to be gluten free and offer a great tasting, crunchy morning breakfast option. When I used the new gluten -free Chex in a recipe my family couldn't tell a difference! I love that I know have this healthier option to serve them for breakfast as well as in some of our favorite snacks!
Chex cereal also makes it easy to create flavorful gluten-free recipes the whole family can enjoy - from snack mixes to mealtime favorites. You can check out the Chex website - www.Chex.com/GlutenFree for great gluten-free recipes!

Thanks to Conair we were given the opportunity to review the Infiniti Pro by Conair 1875-Watt Salon-Performance AC Motor Styling Tool.
Infiniti Pro by Conair™ 1875-Watt Salon-Performance AC Motor Styling Tool puts salon-performance power in the palm of your hand! The Infiniti Pro utilizes an AC (alternating current) motor, which is the high-performance motor typically designed for hair stylists and salon use. However this professional performance tool is 15 percent lighter than most AC motor dryers, making it easy to harness salon power at home.
Since I got my new haircut I love this new hair dryer! It is very quiet but yet very powerful! I love that I can now get ready in the mornings without waking up the rest of my family! The powerful air velocity is great! It drys my hair much faster and therefore lessens the heat exposure and damage that a normal hair dryer may cause.
The COLD SHOT is a very cool feature to this hair dryer! When the “Cold Shot” button is engaged you get a blast of cold air! I learned that cold air is better to use to set your style! And, with my thin hair I can use the Cold Shot button to lift my hair at the roots!! The Infiniti Pro dryer also generates neutralizing ions to seal the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing shine.
I was also excited to learn that my new hair dryer will have up to a 3x longer life span as compared to typical (DC motor) hair dryers! In addition to the AC motor benefits It also features 3 heat/2 speed rocker switches for heat and airflow control along with 2 concentrator attachments to achieve a variety of styles. A removable filter prevents damaging lint buildup and further extends the motor life. The new Infiniti Pro by Conair™ 1875-Watt Salon-Performance AC Motor Styling Tool is available nationwide at mass market and drug store retailers, as well as www.conairdryer.com, for an average retail price of $38.99

As seen by the pictures she FINALLY - {after searching through all of the costumes numerous times} picked the adorable Wonder Woman Costume! I was amazed at all of the extras that this costume came with! I usually send more on all of the extras that I spend on the costume alone! This Deluxe Wonder Woman costume included her red and blue dress with a gold vinyl belt, a separate cape, boot tops, a PVC headpiece, and a set of cuffs.
Ella is thrilled with this costume and is already counting down the days until HALLOWEEN!! We highly suggest that you check out Costume Supercenter for all of your dress up or Halloween needs!! They offer quality costumes at reasonable prices with all of the EXTRAS!

Last week I received a new book, Are You KIDing Me? 51 Things People Don't Tell You About Being Pregnant, by new mom and author Haley Greene to review. Since, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" is one of my favorite things to say, I knew I would LOVE this book!
Haley asked herself that question every day of her pregnancy from month 7 until she gave birth to her daughter. She wondered why, during her pregnancy, nobody ever told her to expect the unexpected. With her new book, Are You KIDing Me? 51 Things People Don’t Tell You About Being Pregnant, Haley tells expectant moms exactly how it is, and how it will be from now on.
Are You KIDing Me? 51 Things People Don’t Tell You About Being Pregnant is a very clever and witty account of Haley’s surprises and mishaps throughout her pregnancy. I LOVE the humor in this book! This book is a super quick read and so worth your time to read! I found myself laughing out loud and saying she is SO right over and over with this book!
This book is great for moms-to-be and new moms, but it's also great for ANY mom because with me for example, it helped me remember that fun time in my life when I was pregnant with my babies! I highly suggest that you check it out!

We have a copy of this book for one lucky reader!

These days I hear lots about various supplements that we should be taking. I currently don't take any so I was excited to give SAM-e a try! Nature Made SAM-e is a supplement that is clinically proven to naturally support a healthy mood!
While researching about this product I was surprised to learn that as we get older our bodies start making less SAM-e, a naturally occurring compound, which ultimately works to maintain a balanced mood. Nature Made SAM-e Complete helps replenish your body's natural levels of SAM-e and when taken daily it can begin to help naturally restore a healthy mood in as little as 7 to 14 days. SAM-e is also used to relieve joint pain and repair joint cartilage.
My husband, the baseball coach, is always complaining of achy joints so he decided to give SAM-e a try as well. After just a week of taking SAM-e he says that his knees and elbows do feel much better. He even said one day he forgot to take it and he noticed a difference in how his knee and elbow felt. He recommends this product for anyone that is suffering joint pain.
SAM-e also worked great at helping my mood swings during PMS. While taking this supplement, I could think clearer, my mood was much better and I felt calm. I didn't feel as stressed or irritable. We highly recommend this product. We suggest that you give it a try.
GIVEAWAY: We have a 3-month supply of Nature Made SAM-e as well as a reusable water bottle and journal for one lucky reader.

“The Jensen Project” is based on a family of science whizzes conducting underground research to help solve global crises. This science-fiction family movie tells the story of Claire and Matt Thompson, two former scientists who return to The Jensen Project after a 16-year absence. Together, with their tech-savvy son Brody, the family is thrust into a frantic pursuit to keep a potentially-dangerous technology from falling into the wrong hands. As the family races to stop the group's rogue faction, they rediscover the importance of honesty, courage and being there for one another.
The mother, Claire, is played by Kellie Martin, a veteran actress most fondly remembered for her Emmy-nominated role as Becca Thacher on the ABC series "Life Goes On." The character Kendrick is portrayed by Emmy, GRAMMY and NAACP Award-winner LeVar Burton, who starred in the acclaimed miniseries "Roots," four of the recent "Star Trek" series and the public television program "Reading Rainbow."
Patricia Richardson, known for her role as Jill Taylor on the popular sitcom "Home Improvement," plays Ingrid. Brady Smith, who has appeared in television programs including "ER" and "The Mentalist" plays Matt Thompson. The roles of Brody Thompson and his sidekick Samantha are filled by two young television talents, Justin Kelly and Alyssa Diaz, respectively.
If you love a great family movie that encourages honesty, courage, and being there for one another then we are sure that you will LOVE this movie! We encourage you to check it out!!
