Family Travels
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ellio’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine. Growing up, I loved Family Game Night. I have a collection of board games now for my own family, because some of my most fun memories ever are of staying up late into the night with cousins […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Holmes® Smart Air Purifier. All opinions are 100% mine. I have two young sons, and a husband who suffers from allergies all year long, so there is good reason for me to be concerned about the quality of the air in my home. I […]
It would help my husband with his allergies and less medicine that he would have to take.
I would give to my daughter for the two little ones and a husband with bad allergies and a yard full of trees!
A way technology has provided relief and bettered my life would probly be a first with this Holmes WeMo Air purifier, since i could control it with the app from my phone. Would give me the relief i need for my allergies that i have all year around.
The Holmes Smart Air Purifier would be a way that technology could provide relief & better our lives. We all suffer from seasonal allergies & have tried so many things to alleviate our symptoms. This air purifier sounds like just what we need!
A way technology has bettered my life is using a cell phone! People use phones for all different reasons now, but I think it’s very important when it comes to safety and communication with family. I also love our alarm system because it keeps my family safe and I can feel secure in my own home. Thanks for the chance!
Technology has provided relief with our family that we all wake up and go through the day without suffering from allergy and avoided from getting sick.
I have tried a purifier at my brother’s house and it helps a lot with my allergies.
WeMo sets my alarm so my home is always safe for my family. would love to win the air purifier.
My WeMoment is when we got a smart thermostat because it allows me to control the temperatures remotely. I’d love to be able to do the same with this air purifier.
I have a dust filter that really helps with allergies and improves how I feel.
I need to breathe easy.
The technology would be great to have now that spring is here and there is a ton of pollen and dust floating around our house!
I’ve never owned one of these but it sure would help out here in the dusty desert.
I haven’t had any advancements help me out, but this would be a life saver for my husband and daughter who both suffer from seasonal allergies.
I really suffer from seasonal allergies and always have to use my air conditioning, the Holmes Smart Air Purifier is the best technology I can use to alleviate my symptoms
We have a small filter and it does a surprisingly good job of keeping down the pollens during spring. We don’t have nearly the allergy problems. I can only imagine what a big difference an air purifier of this caliber would do.
Early Spring and really bad allergies already. Send help!
I would have to say a way technology has helped me would have to be my smart phones and all its apps i would be so lost without it
being able to set my thermostat from my phone is awesome!
I love the way cell phones have changed my life. I don’t worry about my car breaking down, and my kids can always let me know where they are.
I don’t have anything as of yet too see how it would improve my quality of life i live across from sanitation so i deal with dust on a daily basis in my home having too vacuum three time’s a day just so my kids could breathe is tough but if i won this i’m pretty certain it would improve the air quality and better our life.
Cell phones have given me piece of mind that my kids can always reach me
It’s going in my home
my son has been asked to use anxiety apps. not sure if it’s helping yet but a great concept
I love how I can control our alarm system on my phone and it alerts me when it has been triggered for extra peace of mind.
We have owned one of these (a similar model) years ago and it really helped my allergies! Would love to try this one.
Technology helps me every day, keeping in touch with family on facebook or with my phone, being thousands of miles from them it makes me feel like we are together
Living on a dirt road with lots of trees in my yard, I think this would help me with my allergies.
My son has allergies and this would really help him sleep better at night
Technology has bettered my life by allowing me to keep in touch with my loved ones through my phone: text messaging, email and calls, as well as the computer: email, skype and social media.
This air purifier would certainly help improve my life by improving my air quality so it’s one less health issue to worry about.
I love opening the windows this time of year to enjoy the fresh air but the pollen definitely aggravates my allergies. If I had a Holmes® Smart Air Purifier, I could benefit from cleaner air in our home while enjoying the summer breeze.
My dad suffers from all sorts of allergies – plus we have a dog that sheds like crazy – this would be absolutely perfect for my household.
Technology has bettered my life in many ways. Most importantly it allows me to keep in touch with/ and still be a part of my son’s life even though he lives in another state.
The internet has immensely bettered my life. So much information right at your fingertips!
I would say that my air conditioner has significantly bettered my life. I am in menopause, and I feel like I am always hot, whether the temp is 50 degrees or 100. I am not sure I would be able to live without it…
I’d love to have this for my horrible allergies!
Our home has been through a lot of amazing renovations and makeovers since we bought it about two years ago, but one area of our home decor we still haven’t set to work on yet is our outdoor patio area…and I have lots of plans for it! I’m a girl who needs to visualize a […]
When we bought our home last year, a major fun aspect of it was renovating. I finally had my space, my own home, to make it exactly what I wanted it to be. Hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters and tiles…it was me, it was my dream home, and I still sometimes walk […]
My favorite upgrade was granite countertops!
Keeping granite clean is so hard, this product looks great!
We have granite countertops and they are indeed difficult to keep clean. I never even though of potentially damaging them due to certain cleaners!
Ready to clean!
My favorite upgrade was changing all the counters (kitchen and bathrooms) to granite.
This looks like a great way to get all your countertops looking ther best. I’ll certainly look for it and give it a try.
I replaced all my countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms with granite. They are beautiful.
I wish we had granite! Not in this rental we don’t! Such beautiful stuff.
I’ll have to try this out. I am in need of some new cleaners.
My favorite upgrade actually was all the granite we put in the house when we moved in. We got a fantastic deal and ended up putting it in the kitchen plus 2 bathrooms.
I’m hoping to renovate my kitchen within the next year and get granite countertops. My favorite upgrade in my home now is/was our basement. It was so 70s (acoustic ceiling tiles, dark paneling, shag carpet, dark and closed in, etc), we gutted it and now it is huge and bright with built in bookcases on either side of the fireplace, wood flooring, columns, and no paneling. 🙂
I wish we had some nice countertops. We have an old farm house, counters are original to the house. LOL
We installed granite kitchen counters and this would be a great prize to clean them.
This is the first time I’m hearing of Granite Gold, seems great!
My favorite home upgrade was the new oven.
We have granite countertops. I’ve never heard of this brand though. It’s worth checking out though!
Owning a home would be a pretty great upgrade for me! Aside from that…ehh…I planted a garden this year.
My favorite home upgrade was hardwood floors.
My favorite home upgrade was our back deck! We finished it and it’s so nice to sit on and watch the kids play!
new kitchen cabinets
I love the multiple showerheads we added in the master bath!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wellspring Camps. All opinions are 100% mine. I have a son who sometimes comes home upset because he was teased about his haircut or because he’s shorter than other kids in class, and it breaks my heart. It also brings me back to my […]
That sounds like a great idea. I hate working out. I do it, but I don’t like it.
This sounds like a great camp. I think I would enjoy the Kickboxing, rafting and tubing.
I think this is a great idea. Obesity has become an epidemic in this country, and there are a ton of kids who are going to be very unhealthy adults.
I think this is such a great idea, and it’s so needed right now. More and more kids are way to heavy, and it will lead to some really bad health issues down the line.
You know what I love the most about this camp? The inclusion of emotional counseling. There are many physical reasons for obesity, but there are just as many mental and emotional reasons.
Sounds great. I would like high and low ropes courses, hiking and rock climbing.
Aerobics, White Water Rafting and the scavenger hunt!
I’d love the white water rafting, hiking and rafting.

It all sounds great – a nice variety of ways to be active. I think I would like hiking, rafting, and tubing the most!
Hiking, rafting and swimming are my top three interests.
What a great camp! I really enjoyed reading about Wellspring. I think I’d like Zumba, Tennis, and Self Defense.
This sounds like a great camp that could help so many people. I love that they incorporate CBT therapy into the daily program and that each morning starts with optional yoga. I’d love to go on daily hikes and trying out new group fitness activities.
I’d enjoy the white water rafting, tubing, and the scavenger hunts. Thanks.

I would enjoy scavenger hunts, whit water rafting and tubing..sounds like an amazing place.

My mom always made us Ellio’s pizza, but I forgot all about it. I am going to add it to my shopping list so I can get some for my boys 🙂
What a great tradition to have with your kids. They will look back and remember all the fun game nights. Pizza looks delicious, have not heard of the brand so will have to see if they have it next time I am grocery shopping.
The only thing that could make family game night better is pizza! That particular pizza looks super yummy. I’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
Game nights are always so much fun! Especially when there’s yummy food like pizza involved!
Game nights are so much fun. We host a game night at our house every Sunday. I think Ellio’s Pizza would be a great option for dinner this week.
We love family game night. It’s a great way to reconnect with everyone. It’s so much fun!
I used to love getting “square pizza” at school. Having this with my brother during family game night would bring memories back, but I’m not sure my son would appreciate the nostalgia!
Yum, I’ll have to give that pizza a shot. We’re pizza lovers here!
I love family game night too! We often have pizza as well, but I haven’t heard of this brand before. It does look scrumptious!
Yum. That pizza looks delicious. I don’t think we have Ellios here in Canada which is a shame! Looks great. We love family game night, it’s one of my favorite things to have with my fam!
Family game night is such a great tradition! Pizza is always welcome in our household.
Pizza is our staple food for Game Night. The pizza looks delicious!
Family game night is always fun. And you can’t have family game night without PIZZA!
We are having pizza tonight. I should make it a game night as well.
I love your gorgeous pictures! They’re so crisp and clean! That pizza looks yummy!
Our family likes board games too. We used to be able to get Elio’s when we lived in Florida. They don’t sell it here. 🙁
That sounds like so much fun! I would enjoy the pizza too! It looks really yummy!
I’ve never heard of Ellio’s before, but you can (almost) never go wrong with pizza! Family game nights are awesome, although my parents accused me of playing too cut throat. Is it so wrong to want to win? LOL.
I’ve always loved family game nights! Some of my best memories are playing my brother and sister in a game of Clue 🙂
That pizza looks delicious! I love family game night, especially with a yummy dinner like that!
Pizza night is one of my favs. I love a night off from cooking, and it puts everybody in a great mood. Making it a game night also would be icing on the cake.
Your son sure does have some mighty long eyelashes lol! I never heard of this pizza but your kids dove right in!
I like pizza with real ingredients. Looks like a fun night.
I sure could use some pizza right now too! I was always a hug fan of game nights too!
Scrabble has always been my favorite game. My mother started playing with me when I was about 10 or 11. We played every week. Sometimes, days in a row. I sure do miss that.
I remember eating Ellios pizza when I was a teenager! Now I want to run out and get some so that my daughter can try it!
