P.S. - I Made This…


**Disclosure: This is a paid interview. Opinions are of my own, you're opinion may vary. I hope that you show your own creative side through your own DIY projects! Enjoy!

I am a big fan of DIY Projects!  Especially around the holidays, even anytime of year - DIY projects not only give you a boost of self-esteem, but also shows your friends and loved ones how much you really care by putting in your time for others.  After all....time is more valuable than any store bought gift / item! Whether you’re ogling Pinterest, checking out the latest home décor blogs or hooked on home improvement programs, there is no doubt that DIY projects are having a moment, particularly among Millennials. 
Whatever the reason, most people agree that building something with your own hands is always a satisfying feeling and can add value to an object’s worth.  The idea of putting your own effort into a project makes it extra special, whether it’s a project for your home or one that you might give as a gift.  DIY Maven Erica Domesek knows all the DIY tricks to help guide you through the latest home DIY trends and projects of the season.

Hotel Transylvania 2 + Giveaway



Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. The blogger has received a prize pack and/or compensation. All opinions are of my own, your opinion may vary. 

 Very excited to announce that Drac's pack is back for an all-new monster comedy adventure in Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania 2! Everything seems to be changing for the better at Hotel Transylvania.....Dracula's rigid monster-only hotel policy has finally relaxed, opening up it's doors to human guests.
But behind closed coffins, Drac is worried that his adorable half-human vampire grandson, Dennis isn't showing signs of being a vampire.  So while Mavis is busy visiting her human in-laws with Johnny - and in for a major cultural shock of her own - "Vampa" Drac enlists his friends Frank, Murray, Wayne and Griffin to put Dennis through a "monster-in-training" boot camp.  But little do they know that Drac's grumpy and very old, old, old school dad Vlad is about to pay a family visit to the hotel. And when Vlad finds out his great-grandson is not a pure blood - and humans are now welcome at the Hotel Transylvania - things are going to get batty!     

Hotel Transylvania 2 has been rated PG by the MPAA for the following reasons: Some scary images, action and rude humor.  Starring a full list of Hollywood Superstars - Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon and David Spade. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky

Organic Almond Milk



**Disclosure: Our family was provided a gift card to help facilitate this post.  All opinions are of my own, your opinion may vary. 

Since my family and I have been on a task to eat more healthy, we have tried and failed and many things! I must say, changing your eating habits after years and years can def be harder than it sounds.  One thing that I have managed to cut out is dairy products.  My husband and I are both lactose intolerant so it was a great transition for us.  I have made the switch to Almond Milk.  While there may be a small taste difference than regular milk, it's something that our family, even the kids have adopted well.  There are many options for Almond Milk - do stay away from the ones that seem to have all that added sugar!  While changing our eating habits, we've also changed our shopping habits and have started shopping at Whole Foods.  I love that store, I could literally spend hours there lol!  They just recently started to carry the first ever Organic Almond Milk.

  • Made with six or fewer simple ingredients
  • Three times the protein
  • Three flavors to choose from
  • Comes in convenient, highly recyclable PET 28 fluid ounce bottles (very cute!)
  • Cost affordable at $4.99
So what makes this Almond Milk so different? It's made with more almonds - which means more protein, healthy fats and an overall higher nutritious content.  Ingredients include organic almonds, spring water from California, U.S. grown organic maple syrup in the sweetened version, organic acacia gum and sea salt.  


Exclusively available in the refrigerated dairy sections at the 56 Whole Foods Market stores in Southern California, Arizona, Southern Nevada and Hawaii.

I'm so excited to share with you that I have been chosen again this year to join a special group of Mom Bloggers to partner with Chick-fil-A and bring you exclusive Chick-fil-A news and special promotions; along with sharing my own experience with you.  What makes this year even more special is that Chick-fil-A will be opening their very first restaurant here in Southern Nevada!!  The only time I usually get to have Chick-fil-A is when we go on vacation out of state, so I'm just thrilled they are opening here soon.  Chick-fil-A is more than a normal "fast food" joint.  They are family, they care, they have fun, they have hearts and I believe in the values that they share.  Ohh....boy am I excited - this is going to be an extra special year!  Stay tuned!
