Giveaway Time! $50 CSN Gift Certificate

Have you looked around CSN lately? They have so much new merchandise available for spring. One of my favorite things to look at is all the swing sets for kids they have available. One of the things I really miss now that the girls are older is the excitement of a warm spring day and playing outside. (Ok I have to say, they do still go out and play..... softball for the older 2 and for the youngest, any animal she can find to care for!) But it is not the same as swinging, riding bikes, playing in the sand box, and blowing bubbles.

And now onto the good stuff..... how to win:

• Leave me a comment letting me know your favorite outdoor activity.


• Become a follower or let me know you already are.


• Follow me on Twitter or let me know you already do.

Giveaway Time: Fiber One Giveaway - Help Take the Hunger Out of Dieting

One of hardest things for me about dieting is that feeling of being hungry. Fiber helps satisfy your hunger so it´s easier to eat less and lose weight without feeling as hungry. Did you know one serving of Fiber One Original cereal provides more than half (57%) of the Daily Value of fiber.

Fiber One Original cereal is a tasty way to start your morning on the right track with 0 grams of sugar, 14 grams of fiber, 60 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.
For more information or additional tips, please visit http://www.fiberone.com/.

Fiber One has provided me with a special Fiber One "Help Take the Hunger out of Dieting" prize pack that includes Fiber One Original cereal, a cereal-on-the-go container, food scale, water bottle and notepad for tracking what you eat.

Right now I just can't stop looking at their dining room tables. They have so many different styles to pick from. Personally, I am very casual so the Entree Camden Counter Height Butterfly Table appeals to me, but if you have a more contemporary style the Wildon Home Pagosa Dining Table might be what you are looking for. With so many options everyone can find something they like.
