Caution!

So a few days ago my husbands friend was on our computer. He was on facebook when something came up on the screen for Security Tools. I guess he looked at it and then clicked off it when it wanted you to pay. Well it embedded itself in my computer. It's malware. It basically said that everything in my computer was infected with a virus and that I couldn't access anything (and I mean anything) unless I put in my credit card number and paid for the program. My husbands friend is a computer guy and he said it is the hardest thing to remove from your computer because it hides itself so well that you can't find it anywhere. The only way to get it off is to wipe the hard drive. Thankfully when we got the computer we had our friend go through and program everything, so he put on Malware Bytes. This program is amazing. I had to go in and start my computer in Safe mode and run the Malware program several times but it saved my computer. It's a free program and if you don't have it you should seriously consider getting it. I run it atleast once a week. But word of wisdom stay far away from Security Tools. Do not put your credit card number in because my computer guy said one of his other clients did and Security Tools drained their whole bank account. So that happening further delayed my posting so I apologize. Tomorrow I will be posting a giveaway!!

MIA

Hey everyone, I know I have been MIA lately. My parents are coming today. They drove all the way from Texas. They haven't seen my new house yet so I have been frantically cleaning all week. And recleaning and cleaning some more. Because as soon as I get one room clean my kids trash the one I cleaned before that. I also scrubbed down the bathrooms for my 6yr old to pee all of the toliet again. So my day will involve recleaning everything I have cleaned 50 times this week. So I'm sorry if I am missing for a little since they will be staying with me and I only get to see them 2-3 times a year. So thank you all for being patient with me, I really appreciate it and when they leave I have some great giveaways to post for you guys!

Officially Addicted

Ok, I can finally admit it.... I am completely and utterly addicted to American Idol. I have a dvr and I faithfully record every episode. I have even enstilled feat into my children if they even think about canceling the recording. I don't even know why I love it so much but I do. I like Ellen but I wasn't sure how much I would like her on Idol, but she is great. I can't imagine what it will be like without Simon. He's my favorite one on there. He is brutally honest and I think it is a good character trait to have. Well hopefully some of you are addicted as well so I'm not the only one. Well gotta go because Idol started 20 min ago and I can fast forward the commercials now..

Shake'N Bake Review And Giveaway!


I remember when I was little and my mom would buy Krafts Shake'N Bake. I used to love helping my mom. She would always let me shake it. It made me feel so grown up. Now I let my kids help and they enjoy it just as much as I did. It's a great way to add a little family time in while making dinner. As always Shake'N Bake tastes great. My favorite thing about Shake'N Bake is that you get the taste and texture of fried chicken without all the mess and added calories. It's also a fast and easy way to bake chicken. Especially for the working moms and those that stay at home and had a rough day with the kids. A little shaking and 45min. in the oven and dinner is ready! They also provide recipes for delicious simple meals that are under 500 calories. Kraft is giving two of my readers the chance to win coupons to get 4 free boxes of Shake'N Bake.

Help! Need Some Good Ideas!

Tomorrow is my son's birthday. Yes I know I just had to give birth on Valentine's day. It's ok though I have come to grips with the fact that I won't have a romantic Valentine's day for awaile. I need some ideas on what else to get for a 6yr boy. He likes fire trucks but if I have to buy another one I wll rip my hair out (I have probably bought over 50 fire trucks since he was born). Every time I ask him he says " I dunno another game for the PS3" I just don't want him sitting on his butt playing video games all day long. So please help, any thoughts would be great!



BusyBuzzyBees Review



Don't you all hate how the winter affects your lips. Mine always get so dry, and most chapstick doesn't help much. Well, I got to try BusyBuzzyBees' Exfoliating Lip Srub. It has Sugar crystals in it that gently exfoliate any dead or dry skin from your lips, giving fresh new skin a chance to grow and thrive. It's really cool because you can feel the roughness of the sugar crystals and yet at the same time you can feel how smooth it is making you lips. It really made a huge improvement in the softness of my lips. BusyBuzzyBees uses a mixture of oils that help promote the natural healing process as well as moisturize your lips. BusyBuzzyBees Lip Srub and Balm come in some really great flavors. They also have a variety of other products available. They have Soaps, Lip Balms, mini Perfumes ( I also got to try this out in the Pear scent and smells great!), and other great products.



BusyBuzzyBees loves to make natural and functional products for you to enjoy. A lot of her products are completely natural, those that aren’t are still at least 90% natural. They also have Vegan friendly products. So if you suffer like I do, you should go over to BusyBuzzyBees and try one of her amazing products.
