This post brought to you by White Cloud . All opinions are 100% mine. It’s a sniffly time of year; between the weather changing drastically from day to night (and day to day) and the start of allergy season, it seems everyone in this house has a perpetual case of a runny nose and the […]
Spring is coming, and getting in shape is big on the minds of many women; we want our figures to look great once the warm weather requires us to shed those extra layers of winter clothing. But are we ready? (Valentine’s and Easter candy isn’t exactly making it easy on us) Chocolate is a great […]
I want to try these!
The peanut butter ones are my favorite!
This looks yummy!
I’ll have to some of these up next time I go to the store.
I really want to try these.
I used to love Skinny Cow back in the day.
These are so good. I love the peanut butter!
I like the peanut butter ones too!
I am going to be on the lookout for these the next time I am at the store.
I love their ice cream sandwiches, I’ve not tried these chocolates before, I think I might have to now!
I keep seeing people trying these, I really want to pick some up! I love that each package is a single serving, it makes portion control so easy!
I haven’t seen these before but they look delicious!
I can’t get enough of these!
One of the most common things that elude most of us is a good night’s sleep, so having the opportunity last week to find out ways to achieve a night of blissful slumber at the Downy Sleep Fest at Penn Station’s Amtrak Station was one I didn’t want to pass up. I had the opportunity […]
Ha! I now have proof that clutter makes a difference. Hubs just thinks it’s me being OCD.
I love the smell of Downy! There are so many great tips here and I love your little one snoozing on your husband – too cute!
Nope, you are right, and I’ve actually heard it before (from FlyLady)…if you have clutter, your mind is focused on needing to clean it up and you have trouble sleeping!
I love the smell of lavender, but we can’t use it in our house. I miss it! I’ll have to check out zzzquil. Every once in awhile I’m too wound up to fall asleep naturally, and then I’m dead tired the next day because I was wide awake all night. Thanks for sharing that product!
I love the smell of lavender and downy
Ahhh I love her on Restaurant: Impossible!!
Okay I so need to remove clutter in my bedroom. Our room isn’t even that big and it seems to have too much in it! 🙂
Looks like you had fun!
Sometimes I have trouble falling asleep at night. Thanks for these tips.
Wonderful tips! I agree that removing clutter makes a difference. My husband doesn’t seem to agree!
That bed looks so comfortable. Our bedroom has calming purples, no clutter and tons of warm blankets. We also use lavender fabric softener. The scent is amazing. Hubby keeps asking me to buy the zzzQuil, hope it helps him!
I love how your son demo’d the importance of sleep 🙂
I have never had trouble sleeping but for some reason this past week I have! I am going to try this out and see if it helps.
Great tips! The thing standing between me and a good night of sleep is my 9 month old, lol.
Going to have to try some of this Downy. Who knew clutter could cause you to have trouble sleeping.
One thing I cannot live without is SLEEP.
I’ve noticed that when I think I have cutter, my brain is racing!
I need to try the lavender stuff … it’s nearly midnight and I am STILL awake.
I LOVE Taniya! I always tell my husband if we ever win the lottery, I’m hiring her to help decorate our house!
I love watching her on HGTV.
I definitely need to make my room more soothing.. it’s not particularly cluttered, but it doesn’t have anything that promotes relaxation, either.
I love all of that purple!
We have a great mattress – got a $2000 mattress on sale for about $500 a few years ago during Macy’s Memorial Day sale. My sleeping issues have nothing to do with our bed. I wish it was that easy! We use Downy sometimes (when I remember to buy it) and I LOVE those Scentables in the laundry. Snuggling into a fresh-smelling bed makes it much easier to relax and fall asleep!
I feel like I sleep better in a clean room.
Mmm i love the smell of Downy. We have a dim light in the bedroom 🙂
Good Night Sleep? What’s that? I have a husband, a toddler, and an infant in my bed for a good part of the night. The girls will only be in my bed for a few hours but the hubby is still there. I need a bed to myself!
There is seriously nothing better than a good nights sleep. Great tips!
These are all really great tips.
Hubs does not understand my need to remove clutter in order to sleep. Thanks for the validation. LOL
I love Downy. It looks like you had a lot of fun.
My son just spilled a cup of juice on the family room floor. This is unfortunately a common occurrence around here, so while I’m not happy right now, I’m used to it. In a house with three rambunctious (and somewhat messy) males, I know there is not much I can do about it but clean […]
I really like these paper towels. They work great for my cleaning obsession:)
I like the Bounty that is in half sheets!
With children, paper towels are a must have!
I don’t use a lot of paper towels, I prefer cloths BUT I do like them for grease wipe ups, it’s nice to have something that can hold up to the grease but that you can toss right away and don’t have to wash.
I SO rely on paper towels and I’m using the Bounty pull apart ones now, but I’ll try these next!
I love a durable paper towel that can conquer any mess!
I don’t like to be wasteful, but paper towels are a must for me. And Bounty is the only kind I buy.
We love Bounty – won’t use anything else!
Bounty Paper Towels are great for cleaning up big messes.
I pretty much only use paper towels — dish towels gross me out!
I don’t regularly purchase paper towels but when I do it’s Bounty. If I’m going to spend money on a product to clean up messes, I want it to do the most effective job possible using the least amount of materials.
School, work, the holidays, etc. Life gets hectic, and we all have times where we just need to take a break. So we did, we just took a break in the middle of the week and headed into Manhattan for an overnight stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton on Lexington Ave. We unplugged and disconnected […]
Looks like you had a lovely getaway and that DT really took care of you! I’d love to spend our spring break in Hawaii but that probably won’t happen. I’d be happy with a long visit to Carmel though.
I’d like to spend my ‘spring break’ (we actually don’t get one of those here, go figure?!) in Texas, looking for a new home. But we still haven’t sold our home here yet (sigh), so I wait…(I know YOU know what that’s like!!)
We’re getting married the first weekend of Spring Break so we’ll be spending a few days on a mini-honeymoon! I’d love to add a couple of extra nights with our son though.
I would like to spend our family spring break at the beach!
No plans for spring break
I would love for my entire family to go on a wonderful vacation together.
I would like to spend spring break anywhere that teenagers don’t, doing anything that teenagers don’t
I’d like to visit to take my youngest daughter to visit her older sisters whom she has not seen for 3 years.
We like to go (when we can afford it!) to a place called Sanibel Island, Florida.
somewhere warm where we have to take a plane, it really doesn’t matter beyond that.
At the beach!
I’ve stayed there twice in the last year and it was very, very nice. I’m not sure I had breakfast though….hmmm, might have to stay again!
I like to go to Florida and visit family.
I’d like to spend it going to the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Safari Park
I’d love to spend our family break in the mountains in a cabin. Nothing like fresh air.
I’ll be the bad mom and publicly admit that I would spend 2-3 nights ALONE! Seriously, with four children between the ages of 5-18, three of them boys, I would love a few days off of laundry, cooking, cleaning and driving everyone around. I would sit in my room with a few good books, drink tea, wear my jammies all day and not touch my phone or computer once.
OMG, me too! Let’s go!
I want to spend Spring Break somewhere warm like Miami with my family!
I would love to take my stepson to LegoLand for Spring Break. He is already 9 and feel like if we wait, he wouldn’t enjoy it as much.
I would love to spend my spring break with my husband and kids before baby #4 arrives! We have been wanting to take a trip to Niagara Falls forever!
I would drop the kids off at my folks house and my wife and I would sleep. Just sleep….sweet, luxurious, sleep. I’ve not done that in years! Lol. Thank you.
We’ll go to Florida.
I would use a local hotel with a pool and let the grandkids go swimming!
We really want to go to Hawaii this year…not sure if we’ll make it though
I would love to take my children to Disney World.
I would love to go to San Diego
Would love to win this!
I would like to spend spring break on a beach somewhere, but I have to work.
I would like to go to the beach with my family
I’d like to spend our Family Spring Break at the beach relaxing in the sun.
We’d spend our family vacation just relaxing! As new parents we need a little relaxation time.
We would love to spend it at the beach in Port Aransas TX.
At the lake.
We’d love to spend a long weekend on the beach somewhere on the East Coast.
I’d love to go to a warm weather place and spend time on the beach with my family. Florida, So. Carolina or somewhere tropical would be great.
They are all classy. Tough to pick
This would be nice for Orlando
Hit the NCAA mens final four in Atlanta with family and friends
I’d like to spend it someplace a little warmer with fun activities.
I would love to take my family to a doubletree hotel for spring break!
We have a 1 year old — so just one night away to DC, Baltimore or Annapolis would be close enough to make it easy, but far enough to make it relaxing!
I would like to go someplace warm
In new orleans with my parents! My kids always have a blast!
I would love to go to the beach for spring break!
I’d love to spend it at a Mexican resort that has activities for kids (teenagers) and some escape time for my hubby and me! Heaven.

i would love to spend it lounging on a warm and sunny beach, however I am about 6 weeks from having another child right now….sooooo…instead it will be spent at home not really doing much
Oh man we are in a blizzard warning right now with crazy winds and crazy cold. Not cool for March, even for MN! I’d love to spend spring break somewhere warm and toasty where I can forget my boots, gloves, and window scaper for a while!
coriwestphal at msn dot com
I would like to spend it somewhere tropical, but in reality we will be home hanging out together.
would like to take my boys to an indoor waterpark!
Wow, those are such great looking perks! I’ve never had a bad experience at a DoubleTree.
we’d like to go visit our cousins

I’d like to spend it in Branson, MO seeing all the shows and sights. Thanks.
Love!
What a neat giveaway. It’s the little things that make having a cold bearable. A nice soft tissue really helps with the sniffles.
I drink a hot lemon drink!
Oh this sounds like a nice sweepstakes, thanks for sharing! We have been hit by the cold bug lately and going through our fair share of tissues!
I am so thankful that flu season will soon be over.
Sweet baby! I try to find soft tissues as well when my kidlets have sniffles!
I never heard of White Cloud tissues….
What a lovely and thoughtful idea! My warm, snuggly bed makes me feel better, along with sweet baby snuggles.
What do I do when I have a case of the sniffles? Plenty of tissues, chicken noodle soup, and a comfy bed. 🙂
My little one just got over the flu her nose was red the whole time.
Lot’s of snuggles when my little ones are sick.
I hat when my boys are sick. That comfort package sounds delightful though!
Aww! What a cutie! It’s hard when they are sick.
That picture is adorable.
I take garlic and turmeric supplements (I also sprinkle the spice on my food) I also drink a lot of tea – my favorite brand is Traditional Medicinals.
I hate when my family is sick, especially when it’s in the nose 🙁 I actually didn’t know White Cloud made tissue. I hope I don’t have to try it out any time soon but I’ll definitely be on the look out when the sickies come in our house
This is such a great giveaway!
Soup always helps! It’s so sad when they are sick!
My poor 2yo has been telling me her nose is ‘broken’ because her ‘boogers are dripping’.
Hot tea!
the designs are adorable luv them
That IS a pretty cute nose!!
When I don’t feel well I soak in a hot bath, drink plenty of fluids and take supplements to help me recover faster.
We make a big ol’ pot of chicken noodle soup!
Such a cute pic and love white cloud.
Hot Tea by day, warm brandy by night…lol
I love the designs I bought two boxes today at Walmart
I love White Cloud products. When I get the sniffles, I usually make chicken noodle soup to feel better.
What a cutie!
My youngest has been battling a runny nose for weeks now. I hate trying to mop up the mess but she screams otherwise – not every tissue is created equally. Will be trying the White Cloud brand in the future.
I hate when the kiddos are sick! I always make sure we have plenty of soft tissues on hand!
