This is a compensated post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you’ve been keeping up with me on Twitter, Facebook and well, even here on my blog over the last week then you know that I haven’t been feeling the best. I’ve had this awful cold, cough, aches and pains oh my gawd I feel like I am going to die thing going on.
Usually I am not one who will take a gajillion OTC meds to help heal me….really when I usually have a cold, I treat it with some OJ & Vodka.However, at this time in my life, I am trying to get pregnant so I’ve been staying away from the liquor cabinet and have had to use methods I normally wouldn’t to get healthy once again.
I opened a purdy manila envelope to find Walgreens Multi-Symptom/Rest Easy Cold/Flu Relief Nighttime Liquid Caps.
It was like the heavens knew I was sick and this was their way of getting me on the mend.
So, I took the recommended dosage and off to bed I went.
I have to admit, these drugs….they delivered.
Gone was the cough and wheezing thing I’d had going on.
My body no longer felt like I had been slammed by a Mack truck.
And, I didn’t have the hangover I’d usually have from the OJ & vodka or from the pseudoephedrine since these drugs are 100% pseudo free not to mention these meds have a 100% satisfaction guarantee!
There are many things in life that make me smile.
My kids.
My husband.
Movies.
You get the idea.
There are also the little things in life that make me smile.
You know….like new toys.
Shoes.
Purses.
Electronics.
And…..
cookware.
The Alex and I have recently become very interested in cooking. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve enjoyed cooking before and from the size of us, you can tell that we enjoy food!
Lately we have been learning new cooking techniques thanks to the great stars of the Food Network.
With these new skills, we’ve had to acquire a few new kitchen tools.
The first on our list being….new cookware.
Pots and pans.
Pretty pots and pans but functional.
I have been drooling over the Rachel Ray cookware for a few years now so I finally gave in an ordered it. I also got a sweet deal on it since CSN Stores had it on sale! (I ALWAYS like a good deal!).
We went with the Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel 10-Piece Cookware Set in Green.
Isn’t it pretty??
This is the first cookware I have ever owned that I can say that I actually liked!
It works great and heats evenly as described.
It is super easy to clean and lives up to its nonstick reputation.
It is absolutely wonderful.
This pan…..is great!
We’ve used it to make NY Strips twice now and it gives the steak perfect grill lines and it heats real nice.
This pan is as easy to clean as the rest of the Rachael Ray cookware we purchased in January and we are loving it!

I love to bake.
It’s no secret.
to some of my friends, I am known as Cookie Girl.
I bake cakes, pies, cookies, bread, cupcakes and more!
I just plain out love to bake.
When I was introduced to the Roundabouts® Cupcake Sleeves as a way to dress up my cupcakes, I thought it could be fun and the kids would get a real kick out of it.
And that they did.
I made carrot cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting that I tinted a golden brown thanks to my awesome skills with food coloring.
Then, I broke out the Roundabouts.
The Roundabouts® Cupcake Sleeves are wraps for cupcakes that transform standard cupcakes into virtually anything.
I was going for the cheeseburger look!
You tell me, how did I do???
