Halls Refresh Review and GiveAway!!!

* Available in 9-piece sticks and 20-count resealable bag

* 0 grams of sugar per drop

I recently had the opportunity to give the Halls Refresh Mouth Moistening Drops a try. I was able to sample the Juicy Strawberry and Tropical Wave flavors . I tried the Juicy Strawberry first and to be 100% honest I was not impressed, I am not a big cough drop person and to me the Strawberry tasted more like a cough drop than anything else. However when I tasted the Tropical Wave flavor I was like "this is it" I have been looking for something to keep with me on my morning runs because the cold weather dries out my mouth and throat and Halls Refresh Tropical Wave is something I would definitely reach for. These are just my opinions of the drops I have read reviews of people who preferred the Strawberry. So lucky for you 3 of my readers will get a chance to decide for themselves

* HALLS® products may be used by adults and children 5 years and over. For
children under 5 years, ask a doctor.

Calling All Gardeners!!!

So throughout the blogworld this past year I have seen some pretty impressive gardens out there, so one of my goals for 2010 is to start my own vegetable garden and predictably a gardening blog. I have already picked out the spot on my yard and plan on spending the next few months getting it together.

So now I am looking for some gardening tips. So for all you gardeners out there, what is the best advice you would have for a newbie like myself? How long have you been gardening? What do you grow?

Don't You Just Love Sundays

I just love mornings like this and since they happen so rarely I just had to post about it. My husband just got back Friday after being gone for 10 days, so he actually got a weekend off. So after being out all day with the family hanging out with friends (we have got to take advantage when he gets a Saturday off), my wonderful husband got up with the kids this morning, got them dressed, fed and is entertaining them with some chutes and ladders, made me some tea and shut our door so I could lounge in bed all morning reading, blogging and just relaxing.

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
-Laura Ingalls Wilder


"Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things."
- Og Mandino


"Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don't collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don't really mean anything."
- Norman Lear

I love a Good Gift Exchange

I participated in the Bloggers Santa Swap hosted by the wonderful Shannon over at The Mommy-Files, I had the honor of swapping with Kyra who's blog How Worthy are You? Were Stolworthy is definitely worth checking out.


She really did such a great job lots of reese's peanut butter cups, my favorite (the snowman on the left is just full of 'em). She also sent items that are just perfect for the girls stocking something i seriously neglect every year.

I had to do a individual shot of my newest snowman decoration so cute, love it.!!and this handmade card wish I was crafty enough to make my own cards.

Thanks so much Kyra!!!!
