My Memories Suite Software Is For More Than Just Scrapbooking

**I received the full version of My Memories Suite software in exchange for a review. This post also contains affiliate links**

I’ll be honest, I’ve see posts about the MyMemories Suite digital scrapbooking software and never really paid attention much just because I’m not really a scrapbooker. I have scrapbooks for the kids but the more kids that came along the less time I had to work on them. Plus the fact that I liked to kind of plan out and lay out designs and work on them. I had a desk I worked on but the kids, especially when they were little were always curious and would take things off of it or try to grab things they shouldn’t so I sort of gave up.

What I found out though is that My Memories Suite can also help you create fun things like signs, cards, photo books, and whatever else your creative mind can think of.

To test out this idea I gave it a go with a back to school themed project. I made little notecards that I can stick in my boys’ back packs or lunches.

This was my first test project. I just kind of threw it together with a back to school theme just to play around with it. But for someone like me who has never used a scrapbooking software before, I found it really easy to navigate. I used a notepad background on the paper, I was able to insert a picture, and used school themed embellishments. This size would also be good to use as gift bag/gift package tags (think Christmas and birthdays). I also made a full size card just to see what I could do with that.

With this one I played around a little more with the embellishments, word art, and sizing. Any item you choose to use in your project can be resized so it’s just right for your project. You could also use this software to make up your own invitations if you’d like. It would be easy, just make up one then print as many as you want/need.

It comes with a nice selection of embellishments, word art, backgrounds, layouts, and more but you can buy even more to add to your selection from the site if you wish for very reasonable prices. There were even a couple free packets I downloaded to my software.

If you are into scrapbooking, My Memories Suite is one of the best and easiest scrapbooking software to use. With school starting back soon you can preserve the memories and milestones of your child’s school year with this fun software.

If you’d like to try the My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software for yourself I have a coupon code that will save you $10 off the software it self and give you $10 for the MyMemories.com store.

Starting the ProSkin 28 Blogger Challenge

**For taking the ProSkin Blogger Challenge I received a free pair of ProSkin SLIM leggings at no cost in exchange for 5 posts throughout my 28 day challenge**

It’s hard to believe it’s been 4 months already since I had my daughter. I love her so much and she’s so precious. The only thing I don’t love about the whole experience is the extra inches around my waist, bum, and thighs I put on. Before kids I was a size 2. With each kid I steadily put on some weight and went up a size. I’m not fluctuating between a size 8 and 10. I know it’s not bad but I can definitely feel the difference in my energy since I’ve been putting on weight. I don’t want or need to be a size 2 again but I’d be happy to see a size 6 just to get some of my energy back. I mean, I need it with 4 kids plus working outside my home.

ProSkin US invited me to take the 28 day Blogger Challenge. The challenge, where the ProSkin SLIM tights every day for the 28 days for 8 hours and see the results. ProSkin SLIM tights are supposed to minimize the appearance of cellulite. They are made from a patented microencapsulated yarn that contains caffeine, retinol, Aloe Vera, fatty acids, and Vitamin E. Sounds pretty advanced as far as workout clothing goes if you ask me. Another idea I like is that the ProSkin SLIM tights have a silver antibacterial treatment to reduce odor and increase the lifetime of the leggings.

When I first put them on I noticed that they are quite stretchy. They are also very thin so they would easily fit under a pair of pants or be fine to layer with a tunic or skirt. They are very form fitting but not uncomfortable. Actually the opposite. Once they were on I barely noticed I had the on because they were so soft, light weight, and thin.

Part of the challenge is they want to know what problem area I want to work on the most. For me that was easy, definitely my stomach.

My poor belly. I was lucky to never get any stretch marks from any of the kids but I do have the muffin top that likes to hand over my shorts/pants and such. The ProSkin SLIM leggings pull up over my belly so I’m hoping they’ll help me with my problem area.

They also want to know my measurements before the challenge. Since today is the first day for me, I started my measurements.

My belly (my problem area) 36 inches
Hip (around the wides area of my bum) 39 and 3/4 inches

Top of thigh (23 inches)

Middle of Thigh (21.5 inches)

Just above my knee (15.5 inches)

Just below my knee (12.5 inches)

Widest part of calf (13.75 inches)

Last part, my actual weight. I get to test out my new MIRA scale with this challenge too which I’ll be doing a more detailed review on later.

Well you see it folks, 142.6 lbs. Honestly though, my weight number is not as important to me as my inches around my belly and thighs numbers.

Even if you’re not a blogger you can take the ProSkin 28 Challenge and get a coupon code for 50% off a pair of ProSkins. If you’re not up for a formal challenge but still want to try the ProSkin shorts you can save 50% off those with code: blogshort

Crazy Dog T-shirts Put the Cool in Back to School

**I received a tshirt from CrazyDogTshirts.com in order to complete an honest review. No other compensation has been received**

I own a couple Crazy Dog T-shirts myself. I love some of the vintage shirts they have, shirts from some of my fave movies, and funny shirts.

Crazy Dog T-Shirts started in 2004 by founder Bill Kingston while attending Ithaca College. He started selling a few designs as part of a final project for an e-commerce class. The orders continued even after college so he kept with it. The company has grown since then with 15 full-time employees and 2 Part-Time.
80% of the designs they sell are printed in house. The others, they work with partners like Junk Food and David & Goliath to give you the best selection at good prices.

Since I already have a few shirts I had purchased in the past from Crazy Dog, I know that they’re good quality t-shirts. I wear my shirts frequently because I think they’re a fun way to show my personality and sense of humor. My son saw this shirt and just had to have it.

It says “Scuba Steve Scuba Squad” If you’re not able to read it. Pop quiz, do you know which movie this shirt is from? My son loves this shirt. He wants to wear it almost every day. In fact I had to sneak it out of his bedroom to wash it. I know, boys, right? When we were looking at the shirts, my oldest son saw a bunch he liked too. They were laughing and pointing out different shirts. They like them so much I told them I’d get them each a couple (as appropriate for school) for their back to school clothes shopping. They were super excited about that.

Crazy Dog TShirts are soft and durable. They have a little room for give which is great for me with my 3 growing boys. I’ve snuck his Scuba Steve shirt into the wash a few times and it doesn’t seem to have shrunk or faded.

You can find Crazy Dog T-shirts on the following social media sites:

Ok did you guess what my son’s shirt is from. The movie “Big Daddy” with Adam Sandler. The boy in the movie, his favorite hero was Scuba Steve. Did you get it?
