The Vampire Diaries: The Complete 6th Season #TVD & #TheOriginals: The Complete 2nd Season #Giveaway

This is a sponsored post. All opinions and views are my own. I did not receive compensation to promote this giveaway. 

Get excited!!!! Two of your favorite CW shows are coming to Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on September 1st: The Vampire Diaries: The Complete Sixth Season and The Originals: The Complete Second Season will be released in just a few short days.

The Vampire Diaries continues its sixth season with more delicious drama to sink your teeth into! In season five, after a passionate summer with Damon, Elena headed to Whitmore College with Caroline, not knowing Bonnie sacrificed her life for Jeremy’s. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline’s friendship deepened as they stood up to the Travelers, a nomadic witch tribe driven to strip Mystic Falls of magic and cast out its supernatural residents. In the shocking season finale, Damon, fearing he would lose his loved ones on the crumbling Other Side, made a huge sacrifice to bring them all back — with catastrophic and heartbreaking results. Season six follows the characters’ journey back to each other as they explore the duality of good versus evil inside themselves. Matt Davis reprises his role as Alaric Saltzman, recently returned from The Other Side. Plus, the season will make you misty-eyed as the departure of a major character will turn lives upside down and leave us asking what happened to Mystic Falls. This awesome Combo Pack contains all 22 episodes from the season plus two featurettes, an audio commentary, the 2014 Comic-Con Panel, deleted scenes, and a gag reel!

National Dog Day with BarkBox

I received this product from BarkBox in exchange for an honest review. However, all opinions and views are my own and I have not been compensated for this post.

It’s National Dog Day and I rewarded Sophie with her very first BarkBox! BarkBox is a monthly subscription box for dogs that includes lots of goodies for your fur baby, tailored to his/her size. Each box usually includes treats, a chew and a toy. Each month, Bark Box chooses toys, healthy treats, and toys that are sure to keep your pup entertained. Should you want to entertain your dog more frequently than once a month, you may also want to look at the likes of different DogeToys toy review articles so you’re able to keep up to date with everything new that your dog could enjoy around the home, garden or on a walk. You can have a little look at the treat selection as different treats can be more suitable for different dogs. For example, if your dog is a border collie/pitbull mix, a more meaty treat would be suitable rather than a corn based treat (source).

The boxes depend on the size of your dog and since Sophie is over 50lbs., she received the Big & Bold box. Each BarkBox is $29 a month, or $19 a month with a 12 month subscription. You can also add an additional premium toy for an additional $9 per box.

Cookies & Cream Donuts

I can’t get enough of Oreos!!! They are definitely one of my weaknesses when it comes to sweets and I don’t have the willpower to say no to all of their deliciousness. Last month, I posted a recipe for Cookies & Cream Cupcakes which received quite a response. So, I am back this month with a new recipe for you to enjoy.

Back to School “Mom on the Go” Prize Pack Giveaway!

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Orkin. All opinions and views are my own.

Well, it’s back to reality for us! We did the Back to School shuffle this weekend and picked up everything we needed to get Bunbun ready for her big day in first grade.

Back to School isn’t just for kids though. As parents, we get back to business as well. It’s time to clean the house and get all those snack crumbs out of the crevices in the couch and clean the floors from any left over juice spilled that we may have missed in a rush getting out the door to a playdate. With all the crumbs and sugar lying around, its sure to attract pesky ants and other unwanted bugs. One way you can help stop this infestation is by buying plants that repel ants and other bugs that you can situate around your home. Infestation means even more hard work for parents who then have to try and find a way to get rid of them. Most people decide to turn their attentions towards local pest control experts, maybe one that is similar to this terminix oregon company to help resolve their problems. You may only be required to do this if the problem is worse than what you initally expected it to be. If it is a large problem, such as an infestation of mice or larger animals who keep coming back to the home, you may want to contact a company such as Economy Exterminators to take charge of the issue at hand and prevent this from happening again.

Disney’s Descendants: Mal’s Evil Apples

We finally had a chance this weekend to sit down and watch Disney’s Descendants. What a cute movie for all to enjoy! 

In Disney’s Descendants, Beast (from Beauty and the Beast) is married to the lovely Belle and they rule the United States of Auradon, which is the United Nation and homeland to all the Heroes and Villains of Disney. All of the villains from the movies are imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost with a magical spell that has been keeping them trapped there. That is…until the villains have children of their own…

It’s Tender Time! A PDQ Review

This post has been sponsored by PDQ, all opinions and views are my own. 

Recently, on my way home, I noticed a new building going up and wondered what they could possibly be building. I assumed it would be a bank, but when the sign went up my taste buds started doing a little dance. “PDQ Coming Soon!” After hearing from many of my friends about how great this place had been, I had to check it out for myself, as soon as possible.

PDQ is a ‘fast-casual’ style restaurant chain who is really making itself known in the South Florida area. This location in particular is a stand-alone building, built from the ground up and boasts a large parking lot with plenty of space. Being that it is near a mall and in a very busy Target plaza, it was very easy to find a spot, without having to stalk someone walking out to their car.

Netflix Kids Picks: August

As summer vacation comes to an end, my littles have been getting in as much Netflix time as possible. And being a mom who is very in tune with what my children watch, I love the kids only profile. It is amazing how it filters out all of the adult movies and shows that they have no business getting into.

Since it’s been quite rainy in the afternoons here in South Florida, we’ve been getting cozy on the couch and catching up on a little relaxation.

Here are my kids picks for the month of August!

Back to School Sign Template and Tutorial

Wow! Can you believe it’s that time of year again? Our children our gearing up go to back to school! I have to admit, I have had Bunbun’s school supplies purchased and ready to go for a few weeks now. Her uniforms came in last week and all she needs is new sneakers. I honestly am not ready to send her back just yet. Can we just have a few more weeks? Months even? We have really been enjoying one another, keeping busy and spending time with friends. But, I guess we can’t keep them home forever, right?

Every year, we do a sign for the first day of school. This year, we are changing things up a bit and I am happy to share my files with you!
