The Shack Comes To Blu-Ray/DVD May 30th!

May 27, 2017 by Ashley 8 Comments

This is a sponsored post for THE SHACK on behalf of Review Wire Media for Lionsgate. I received information to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

If you are looking for the perfect new movie to help celebrate Father’s Day this year then you will want to look no further than the movie The Shack that is coming to Blu-Ray and DVD May 30th from Lionsgate.  This Christian movie is all about a father experiencing love, loss, and forgiveness.  This film features Sam Worthington, Octavia Spencer, and the country star Tim McGraw.

This is the perfect film for the whole family so why not get your hands on it and sit down to watch a heart-wrenching film that will draw your family closer than ever before.  I would hate to be the one to give away the whole plot line so instead I will leave the trailer here for you.  *wink*  I am okay with letting the trailer give the whole story away.

Now, do you see what I am talking about with this movie? It really is one that mother’s and father’s a like will love. It might be a tad sappy, but no father won’t feel touched by the story that is portrayed in this film.  You will go on a transformative journey as this man and father question his faith and spirituality when tragedy hits his family.

Does this sound like the movie for you?

If you are as fascinated by the sounds of this film as I was then you will want to keep reading because I have a fun little giveaway for you.  One US resident will win a Blu-Ray/DVD combo of The Shack.  You will need to enter on the form below and if you have won the same prize on another blog, you will not be eligible to win it again.

Life’s Messiest Moments: Infant Edition

November 4, 2016 by Ashley 77 Comments

This post and giveaway were made possible by iConnect and Dreft. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Sometime’s life’s messiest moments are ones that you would never expect if you didn’t have a kid.  I had thought my life was messy before, but boy was I wrong.  The moment my son was born everything changed.  My life’s messiest moments now come in the form of my infant.  The first messy moment that I came across was when my son was one month old and we had his very first blow-out.

Oh. My. God. I thought that blow-out was going to be the end of me.  My sister and I could have made everyone laugh.  We were a train-wreck and were laughing the entire time.  I was wrong though; those early months are the easy ones.  Yes, blow-outs are scary, but I have found that meal time and craft time can be so much worse!

Meal Time: Life’s Messiest Moments

messiest-moments-wm

My lovely, little man, has started attempting to self feed and I swear I need to get myself a lab coat to wear when he is eating!!  Like seriously… Oh. My. God.  Food gets everywhere, but at least he is having a good time and is learning while he does it.  As you can see he does manage to get food into his mouth, but a majority of the food that is in his bowl ends up all over the kitchen.  Believe me when I say you did not want to see the floor!! There were green beans and cereal EVERYWHERE.  I could not move without stepping on some of his food.

One thing I can say is that I am thankful to have Dreft in my life because without Dreft I would never be able to get his clothes and bibs clean after one of these messy moments in our life.  Dreft manages to clean his clothes and leave them smelling great even after a messy diaper or old spoiled food is crusted on his clothing.  I have followed Dr. Dyan Hes’ advice and am well stocked up on bibs because I know they need to be utilized for more than just meal time.  In one day Raiden can easily go through four bibs due to meal time and eating teething crackers.  I use them because I find them to be a bit easier to clean a couple bibs than to clean multiple outfits a day.

Cleaning up Life’s Messiest Moments!

Even though life can get messy we have learned that one of the best things about getting messy is clean up time.  While much of clean up time can be annoying (like washing the floor and his highchair), it also means bath time which is a fun little treat for my man.  He (finally) loves bath time.  It may have taken six months, but Raiden loves when we get down and play in the bath tub!  I have always thought that bath time is a great way to embrace Raiden’s messy side and was pleased to see that Dr. Dyan Hes has included bath time as being one of her “messy baby” tips.  She says that it is a great way to splash and have fun while cleaning up from baby’s messes.

messiest-moments-bath-time-wm

Cleaning up Raiden is now a fun exploration and no longer a chore.  I used to dread bath time because it meant a bright red infant screaming at the top of his lungs.  I also used to dread the stains that come from a baby’s daily life.  I will admit that when the weather was nice I used to leave him in just a diaper.  I claimed I did it because it was easier, but that isn’t the truth.  I was honestly terrified of the messes that my son would make in his clothes.  It didn’t matter if they were new or second-hand clothes, I was still terrified of cleaning those messes up.  I made the change to Dreft and was able to let out a sigh of relief.

Their products are formulated to be hypoallergenic, gentle on skin, tough on stains, and with a fresh baby scent that everyone knows and they work REALLY well.  I love that I can add a scent booster to the wash because sometimes even after one wash those funky baby smells just don’t go away.

dreft-family-messiest-moments

I am thankful for their detergent because most of the time I do not need to treat my little man’s clothes with a concoction of stain removers.  They boast that Dreft removes 99% of stains and I would have to agree with this sentiment.  Right now you can be proud of your messiest moments because Dreft is hosting a fun little contest.

Using Meijer to Afford Presents #MeijerSave10

October 11, 2016 by Ashley Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored post thanks to Tatu Media

Every year we struggle to figure out how we will be able to afford Christmas presents for everyone in the family and this year is no different than the years in the past.  Well, actually that isn’t true – this year is different because this year we have a child which means extra daily expenses as well as extra Christmas presents that need to be bought.  We have already been trying to budget in everyone’s presents and I thought we were never going to be able to do it until now.

Using Meijer to Help Afford Presents

afford presents meijer

Until 10/15 you can save $10 when you buy $50 worth of MastCard gift cards from Meijer.  This means that you can get an extra $10 just by buying MasterCard gift cards.  You can use these gift cards for anything you want.  What I like is that you can purchase the gift card and use that to then go and purchase presents for family.  That second shopping trip will leave you with $60 instead of $50 to spend on purchases at Meijer.  In addition if you buy the MasterCard gift cards with the Capital One® QuicksilverOne® Cash Rewards Credit Card you will be able to get 1.5% cash back.

You don’t have to spend the gift cards on presents.  You could just as easily gift the gift cards or spend the gift card money on daily expenses like on your grocery or gas bills.  There really are a million different options available to you.

How will you use your MasterCard gift cards?

Of course I also have this amazing giveaway for you that has one really awesome prize!  You will have to keep reading to find out just what an amazing prize there is.  Make sure you get in as many entries as you can in the giveaway.  Remember every entry that you get means one more chance to win!
