**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.** We received Disney's Super Buddies Blu-ray combo pack in the mail last week for review and I kid you not, it has to be played constantly while the child is awake. I'm pretty sure we have all seen Disney's Super Buddies over 20 times so far and at least 4 times today. It's a very cute movie and our daughter is OBSESSED with it! An ordinary day at Fernfield Farms turns extraordinary when Budderball, Mudbud, B-Dawg, Buddha, and Rosebud discover mysterious rings that grant them each a unique super power. The pups unleash their amazing abilities and race to the rescue when a shape-shifting bully from outer space threatens the planet.  I could tell you the whole story of Disney's Super Buddies but I wouldn't want to ruin it for you. The only part I wasn't a huge fan of was at the very end when you met a coup...

This is the best frosting I've ever made in my life. I thought I had died and gone to heaven after tasting this mouthwatering goodness. It has a very rich taste and is thick in texture so it's perfect for cupcakes.  Death By Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting 1 Cup of butter (softened) 1 Cup of creamy peanut butter 4 1/2 Tsp of vanilla 7 Cups of powdered sugar 1 Cup of baking cocoa 3/4 Tsp of salt 3/4 Cup of milk Cream butter and peanut butter until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the vanilla. Next, stir in the powdered sugar, salt, cocoa, and milk. Makes about 4 1/2 cups of frosting.  That's it! It's an extremely easy recipe that tastes like heaven. Anytime you put peanut butter and chocolate together it's bound to make something that's to die for. Wouldn't you agree? Enjoy!

I don't normally post things like this on here but this is something that's been weighing heavy on my chest. Judgmental moms are my biggest pet peeve and I've seen so much of them trolling around Facebook lately. It really makes me sick to my stomach. I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter that is my everything. Am I the perfect mother? Not by any means, but I'm sure as hell going to do my best to make sure this kid has everything she'll ever need and then some. As much as I'd like to, I can't put my daughter in a bubble to protect her. Has she fractured her arm from jumping off the couch? Yes. Has she fallen a million times and scraped up her knees? Yes. Has she tried to ride the dogs like a pony and bumped her head or busted her lip open? Yes. Does that make me a bad mom? NO. It means my daughter is fearless and that I have to watch her closely but I can't protect her from everything. She has to learn a little on her own and figure out that there's cer...

The first day of school is such a rush. You need to remember exactly what time to set the alarm, exactly when the bus is coming, and exactly what to pack for lunch. Wouldn't it be great to take one moment to just pause during the first day rush? Hallmark has come up with a way to do just that. Hallmark created the Pics ‘N’ Props School Days Activity Kit . The kit comes with a chalkboard your child can hold, with cards that read each grade level, from pre-school to graduation. You can take one photo on the first day of school each year, then place it in the accompanying album. You can also fill out a card that summarizes your child's school year with things from teachers' names to friends' names. This is such a sweet way to look back on your child's education.  Living Frugal with Erika had the chance to review the awesome and adorable Pics 'N' Props School Days Kit. Squashie-Dipity is joining with Living Frugal with Erika to give away this activity ki...

**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.** Sosie Designs makes beautiful handcrafted in the USA sterling silver and gold dipped jewelry. All pieces are made to have simple styling and clean lines so the jewelry will always remain in style. Sosie Designs makes rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings and come in a variety of different styles, some with accents like pearls, gemstones, crystal, and cubic zirconia.  For review purposes, I picked out the Dragonfly w/ Amethyst earrings because I love Dragonflies and the color purple. I adore the earrings I picked out for the previous two reasons mentioned and because they're simple yet elegant. Because the earrings are made from sterling silver, they didn't bother my ears and make them itch like some earrings tend to do.  A lot of Sosie Design's earrings or rings have a matching necklace to purchase sepa...
