Can I Challenge You?

Most of you are moms. Do you remember that first time your child told you that they loved you? Maybe you're still waiting for that moment. Everyone told me how much my daughter loved me, how great of a mom I was, and yes, I knew that she loved me, but there is nothing like hearing it from her mouth to validate that. The day she said, "I love you mommy!" and gave me a big huge is forever etched into my memory!

And what about dinner time? When you spend an hour cooking dinner and everyone gobbles it down, it feels pretty good. But, don't you just love it when they gush over your meal and tell you how delicious it was and ask you to fix it again (and again and again). It really feels good, right?

Why do I bring all of this up? Well, because I'm asking for your help on a little project of mine. You see, I KNOW that you like the product reviews & giveaways (that's one of the reason's you're here--right?!), and I tell the companies I work with that very thing all the time. They know it too....but, just like with anything else, it means 100xs more when it comes from your mouth instead of mine.

Did you go out and buy a baby monitor or stroller after reading my review and loved it? Mention that on their Facebook wall or send out a tweet. Are you really excited about the chance to win the Quinny Yezz stroller or maybe the $75 Gymboree Gift Card? Maybe you DID win a giveaway and you love what you won. Let them know! Doing this is a great way to support me and what I do and it let's companies know that working with me helps to keep you informed of their great products.

Do you follow another blogger and love her writing, her recipes, her funny stories? Post on her Facebook wall and let her know!! As a blogger, I can tell you that when I get an email or note from a reader telling me how much they enjoy my blog, it really brightens my day! It makes all the hard work worth it!

So, I'd like to challenge you today to Facebook comment or tweet at 3-5 companies/bloggers. Brighten someone else's day and I bet it will put a smile on your face as well!

Megan's 14th Week on Nutrisystem #Sponsor #NSNation

*This is a guest review from Megan of Housewife on a Mission. Megan received free product to fasilitate this review. All reviews are her own and may differ from mine/yours. *

Hi everyone! I just finished my 14th week on Nutrisystem! Thanks for stopping by to continue to read about my Nutrisystem weight loss journey.

I had my new month of food come the end of last week, which is always exciting! It's always fun getting more food that I love and crave, plus for me, organizing all the food.

This week was easier sticking to my meals and drinking water- lots of water! Our family did end up eating out twice 2 separate days for Father's Day. I feel that I made healthy choices, and skipped dessert each time, which for me is pretty good!

Here are my results for week 14 on Nutrisystem!

Starting Weight: 183.7 lbs

End of Week 1: 178.4 lbs
End of Week 2: 180.4 lbs

End of Week 3:   176.4 lbs
End of Week 4:   175.6 lbs
End of Week 5:   174.0 lbs
End of Week 6: 172.2 lbs
End of Week 7: 172.0 lbs
End of Week 8: 170.8 lbs
End of Week 9: 170.8 lbs
End of Week 10: 168.8 lbs
End of Week 11: 168.2 lbs
End of Week 12: 168.0 lbs
End of Week 13: 168.7 lbs
End of Week 14: 167.8 lbs

Total Weight Loss for Week 5: 0.9- lbs

Total Weight Loss to Date: 15.9 lbs

So I lost the .7 that I gained last week, plus another .2 loosing a total of .9 lbs this week. I'm happy to be working my way down the 160's, and am looking forward to a successful week ahead of me!

I want to remind you again, Walmart has started carrying 5 day Nutrisystem kits- 5 breakfasts, 5 lunches, 5 dinner's & 5 desserts/snacks, plus a free meal planner and free weight loss counseling!! What a great way to test out Nutrisystem to see if you like it!

Thank you for continuing to come back each week to read about my weight loss journey with Nutrisystem! I love reading your comments each week; it definitely encourages me!

Brylane Home 6-Drawer Wardrobe

*This is a guest review from Megan of the blog Housewife on a Mission. Megan is a contributing blogger in the Thrifty Nifty Mommy Blogger Network. Megan received free product from Brylane Home to faciliate her review. No monetary compensation was provided and she was not required to give a positvie review. All opinions are her own and may not be shared by Thrifty Nifty Mommy and/or you.*

If you haven't heard of Brylane Home, you need to go check out their website! They have so much to offer for your home: Bedding, Bath, Kitchen, Home Appliance, Storage & Organizing, Furniture & Decor, Plus Size Living, Window and Outdoor. Brylane Home has a slogan "Come Home to Value" and I think it suits them well!

To review, I was sent the Bylane Home 6-Drawer Wardrobe in the Neutral color. I thought this would be great to use this storage wardrobe in our dining room right beside our kitchen to store away all of my panty Nutrisystem meals. Well only 4 out of the 6 drawers are currently being used for my pantry Nutrisystem meals. The other 2 I use for for billing and paperwork.

The Brylane Home 6-Drawer Wardrobe has a minimalistic design to maximize your storage. Its open frame easily compliments your bedroom furniture while offering deep drawers and a wooden top for extra storage at a great value.

Details:

• 6 pull out drawers
• Non-woven fabric with wooden top
• 29'Hx14"Dx31½"L

After getting everything out of the box, I quickly organized all the pieces and got out the instruction manual to begin assembling the wardrobe.

The entire wardrobe is secured, as long as you tighten the pieces well.

It took me no time at all to get the complete wardrobe up and running. It really was such a simple process!

After quickly setting up the 6 drawers, and getting them in the wardrobe, I really fell in love with the whole look of the wardrobe itself. There are no handles for the drawers, but instead are cut out holes to grab, framed with metal. I think this what I like most about the look of the wardrobe.

The top of the wardrobe is wood, and the 6 drawers are fabric. I would not put really heavy items in this wardrobe, but would keep items that are light-medium in heaviness in the drawers.

It works perfectly for what I am using it for! I have read reviews on Brylane Home's website that this storage wardrobe is perfect for inside a closet, or even for a baby/child's room as a dresser for clothing. There are really many uses it can be used for. This wardrobe comes in Neutral color (which I have) and black. Both look really nice!

The only thing you do have to watch, is when pulling out the drawers, you have to be careful that it does not fall out as there is nothing keeping them from falling out.

Overall, I think that this storage wardrobe is great and recommend it for extra closet storage and for anything else you need to organize and put away.

Buy It: You can go to Brylane Home's Online Store and buy their 6-Drawer Storage Wardrobe in 'Neutral' or 'Black' for $89.99 (Currently on sale for $59.99).

Win It: One lucky reader is going to win a Brylane Home 6-Drawer Storage Wardrobe by entering through the Rafflecopter below. Open to US residents ages 18+ Giveaway ends on 7/3 at Midnight.
