Huggies Snug and Dry Ultra for my Little Diapered Butt

Little Diapered Butt, that’s what I call my daughter sometimes when she’s running around in just her diaper. The new Huggies Snug and Dry Ultra diapers available at Walmart seem to fit her so well. She’s the youngest of my 4 kids and my only girl. My husband and I mutually decided no matter what, after the 4th, no more. I’m still at peace with that decision but that doesn’t mean I have to like seeing my kids grow up so fast. I find myself having this internal struggle. A part of me looks forward to not having to buy diapers and lug a diaper bag around, while the other part of me knows I need to enjoy every moment with all my kids. They’ll be grown in the blink of an eye.

When the weather is nice, we enjoy going for walks together and maybe hitting a local playground. We meet other nice families in the community. We come home, get a nice cold drink, have a snack, I change her Huggies diaper, then it’s rocker time. She likes me to rock her in the recliner for a while just before nap time. I’m happy to do so for my little diapered butt. I look forward to this part of my day. It sure is calming to rock a little one that wants you to hold them.

With summer being here, I know we will be taking advantage of our local playgrounds, nature trails, and community events even more. Huggies wants you to submit a selfie on instagram or twitter with your baby using hashtag #UltraHug. In your post, nominate a local community projects you think could use a $2000 grant from Huggies. I’m posting this selfie and nominating Windber Area Community Kitchen. They provide free meals twice a month and one bagged lunch a month to anyone in the community regardless of age, race, economic status, religion, or sex. This is a great way for people in our community to come together, share a meal, maybe even some stories, and everyone can experience a good meal. They exist solely on donations so I’d love to be able to help this local community project.

Earn Extra Money With SurveySpot

This post is brought to you by SurveySpot. Regardless I only post legitimate offers from trusted sites.

With so many survey sites out there it can be hard to weed through the good ones and the not so good ones. When I first got out of college and then again when I was a single mom I was looking for ways to make extra money without taking too much time away from my kids. I had a full-time job at the end and hadn’t really started my blog at that point. Survey sites because a way for me to earn a little extra money and choose when I wanted to do it. I might work on some surveys during nap time or after I put them to bed at night.

You can guess I tried a few survey sites but SurveySpot was one I always found myself going back to. It wasn’t just the extra money though, I got some satisfaction out of telling companies what i liked and didn’t like about their products.

Jackpot Candles Review and Reveal

I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review. Any opinions expressed are my own. Prize is sponsored by Jackpot Candles.

Jackpot Candles as their slogan goes “A Jackpot In Every Candle” I’m a fan of scented candles. Over the years though I’ve gotten more and more particular. I prefer soy candles. If they’re made in the USA, well that candle is for me. Jackpot Candles are just that and then some. Hand poured right here in the US.

I already told you a few reasons to love Jackpot Candles but why not a few more? How about the scent choices available? I had such a hard time deciding which scent I wanted to review. I finally decided on Hot Fudge Brownie. For one reason because it was a bit off from my regular go-to scents. I wanted to try something different. Another reason…who doesn’t love the smell of brownies in their kitchen?

I received my candle pretty quickly. I trimmed the wick and wasted no time lighting it. Within a few minutes the smell of chocolate started wafting through the house. The chocolate scent kind of put me in mind of opening a fresh tootsie roll and bringing it up to your mouth.

I let my candle burn for a few hours each day. There was some mushrooming of the wick so I made sure to trim it before lighting each time. Each day I patiently waited for a glimpse of what could be my jackpot. The picture below is after about 3 days of burning roughly 4 hours each day. Oh and PS it burned really nice. When I say “really nice” I mean smooth, no tunneling or pooling in certain areas.

While my candle burned I enjoyed the pleasant chocolate scent and anxiously documented my progress on instagram. After day 3 I blew out my candle, went to bed and figured tomorrow is another day. Can I be honest with you though, I’m happy it took a few days longer than most candles of this type have. I’ve had other ones where I burn it for a day or two and there’s the prize I mean, don’t get me wrong I love candles but I like the anticipation of the prize too. Oh one thing I forgot to mention with Jackpot Candles…you can choose what type of jewelry prize you get. You can pick a necklace, earrings, or ring. I chose an earring prize. BUT you have no idea what your prize will look like or how much it’s worth. That’s the fun part.

So I went to light my candle on day 4 and noticed some shininess peeking our of the dried wax.

Uh oh something is peeking in my candle. @jackpotcandles can’t wait to see what’s in my hot fudge brownie candle #review

Even though I knew it was there I still had to light it for a bit to loosen the wax and pull out my prize. I did as any good blogger/vlogger would do and did a video of me pulling my prize out and opening it:

So did you watch the video. I went to Jackpot Candles’ appraisal page, put in my code and it said my earring were valued at $22. Hey I’ll take it. They can be worn with anything really. Here’s an up close picture of the earrings that came out of my Hot Fudge Brownie Jackpot Candle.

You can find Jackpot candles on their website: JackpotCandles.com You can also find them on these social media channels: Facebook: facebook.com/jackpotcandles Twitter: @jackpotcandles Instagram: @jackpotcandles Pinterest: pinterest.com/jackpotcandles Ok so now the surprise I promised all of you on social media (besides the prize reveal).

Saving Money on Car Insurance

This is a sponsored post that i found relevant to Luv Saving Money.

Car insurance can get quite expensive. Here are just seven ways to lower your premiums and save your money for other, more enjoyable pursuits.

1. Ditch the Add-Ons

Many insurance packages come with extra coverage that you don’t actually need. For example, if your state only requires liability coverage, you can skip the “uninsured motorist” or “comprehensive collision” coverage. Snipping them out of your policy can save you hundreds of dollars a year.

2. Buy Locally

If you reside in Philadelphia, you’ll want to buy insurance in Philadelphia. The prices listed on insurance sites are often national or average rates; they don’t reflect the prices that a real-life insurance agent can give you for your region specifically.

3. Be Safe

Improved safety features can inspire insurance companies to lower your bill. This is because a well-protected car is less likely to be stolen than a clunker with worn-out locks. Beef up your vehicular security to pay less for your premiums.

4. Go Back to School

In the same vein as the above, you can make your insurance company trust you more as a driver if you attend a driver’s ed or road safety course. They’ll be able to give you certain discounts or percentages off because you’ve proven yourself as a conscientious citizen.

5. Raise Your Deductible

A higher deductible means a lower premium. You’ll need to pay the piper if you get into an accident, of course, but if you’ve been on the road for years without incident, it’s a risk you may be willing to take to save money every month.

6. Buy In Bulk

If you’re a two- or three-car household, don’t insure your vehicles separately. Put them all under the same policy with the same insurance company so you’ll be able to take advantage of their special “bulk” insurance packages.

7. Compare and Contrast

Last but certainly not least, take the time to do your homework before signing up with any particular company. Compare prices for both the month and the year; weigh the perks of one policy against the perks of another; read reviews of various brands and see which one is the preferred choice of others in your demographic.

These are just a few ways to spend less on auto insurance. Whether you’re a first-time driver or a veteran of the road, you’ll want to complete thorough research and get the best deal possible when insuring your vehicle.
