The Fairy Hobmother Visited Super Savvy Mommy

{This is a sponsored post}

I am a big believer in the saying "reap what you sew".  I love doing good things for people because I enjoy seeing people happy.  Throw a good deed up in the air and forget about it.

Well, every once in a while good things happen to good people!  Thats how I felt when I got an email from The Fairy Hobmother.  He saw me around the blogosphere and took notice!

How would you like to receive a $50 Amazon gift card to make you feel a little special?  Well, comment on this post with your BLOG URL and maybe, just maybe, The Fairy Hobmother will send you a little bit of happiness in your email.

Making Time for Yourself in This Busy World

The world we live in is busy and hectic and most days we don't feel like it will slow down any time soon.  Being a GOOD mommy, wife, employee, friend, sister and daughter takes a lot of work.  Nurturing relationships and helping everyone around you requires sacrifice and hard work but it is worth it.  When do you make time for YOU?

I have to admit, I was one of those Moms who would give and give and never ask for anything in return.  My mood and my weight was affected and there was only one decision to be made: make time for me!  Since last June when I started my Shaklee 180™ journey, I made the decision to put ME first because without a strong, healthy me, my family would suffer.  Ever since that time, not only have I felt a million times better but I know my family has grown stronger too.

You are probably asking yourself how I can make time for me and honestly, it isn't always easy.  Start with something small, perhaps when your children are napping or at school you read a book that you have been meaning to pick up.  I like to use this time to do some arm exercises and squats.  Last year at this time, I couldn't do 1 single push up.  Well, maybe 1 but that was it.  Today, I am able to do 40 in a row.  That didn't happen overnight.  It took time but it was well worth it.  Every other morning, I like to get out and walk 3-4 miles and enjoy the fresh air and cool breeze.  With Oliver in tow, we do this and it is just another thing I do for me.  I relish in the fact that I am fully capable to walk long distances and I want to pay homage to that by walking.  I was reminded a few months ago that not everyone can walk and I, by not getting out and doing it, wasn't fully using my body for all that I could....tisk tisk tisk.  

Another way that I like to make time for me is by having dates with my girlfriends.  Sometimes we go out to lunch and sometimes we hit the park for a walk.  I like to do this a few times a month, sans kids because girl talk is crucial to my psyche.  I encourage you to call your bestie and make a date.  You can thank me later.

I am working on my After-After and I am living each day to the fullest.  My body and my mind couldn't be happier and my family, yeah they can feel it too!

Walgreens OLOGY Review Detangler, Bathroom Cleaner and Hand Wash

Ever since Walgreens launched their new healthy line of products, I knew I had to try them.  You have read on my blog before that they contain no toxic chemicals, they aren't tested on animals and they are Healthy Child certified!  What more can you ask for from a line that is so conveniently found at your local neighborhood Walgreens?

On my last trip to Walgreens I discovered the Hand Wash, Kids Detangler and Bathroom Cleaner.  I threw them in my cart and didn't think twice.

When I got home, I got to work on my least favorite cleaning job in the house....the shower doors!  The pepperminty smell got me from the get-go and the cleaning action was better than any bathroom cleaner that I have ever used before.  See for yourself.

The pictures on the left are of my soap-scum laden doors and seriously, after a few sprays and waiting a  minute to wipe, I was SHOCKED at how effortless and amazing this cleaner worked.  With a pricetag of $4.99 I could easily afford this when I need it.  The convenience factor is also such a plus.

Check out what the Ology Kid's Detangler did for my super fine, thin hair...seeing is believing.  A few sprays and thats all my freshly-washed hair needed.  It smells fresh and clean and it was so effective.  2 Big Thumbs UP!

The  Lemon Hand Wash....what more can I say other than it smells like a fresh-cut lemon, lathers well and it gentle on my dry-prone hands?!  I love it.

Ology products are not only safe and healthy for your family but they are convenient and affordable.  I love everything from the Ology Shampoo to their fabric softener!

All Ology Products are BOGO 50% off until May 18th!  SCORE!

HUGE Pampers Prize Pack Giveaway

Oliver is no longer in diapers, THANK GOODNESS, but when he was, we loved Pampers when we traveled.  As you remember, I was a cloth diapering Mama so we only used sposies when we traveled in the car because, lets face it, cloth is not that convenient for long car rides.

If you're not already a Pampers believer, have no fear. They realize parents are choosy about what they put on their tots bums, that's why they're giving you a chance to win a big pack of love for your own child.

Your Pampers Pack Will Include:

• Pampers Baby Dry Diapers
• Pampers Baby Wipes
• Twilight Turtle Star Projector
• Goodnight Moon book
• Where the Wild Things Are book
• Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? book

Sounds amazing, right? So what are you waiting for?! Scroll down and use the easy Rafflecopter form to enter. Good Luck!
