Blogging with Walmart Family Mobile + Data and a Movie

February 15, 2016 Leave a Comment

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #DataAndAMovie #CollectiveBias

Cell phones are an important and necessary part of our everyday life. In our household they are a must-have for communicating with my husband and son when they are away from home. It’s also important for us to be able to text and get important messages from our son’s school about early dismissal and other news. And of course, the family needs a good data plan for email, social media, gaming and more!

With plans starting at low as $29.99 per line, Walmart Family Mobile makes it easy and affordable for my family to get everything we want out of our cell phones! Their newest plan is the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS plan featuring Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data. It includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE data PLUS a free movie on VUDU (a $7 value) every month per line for $49.88. [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 306 – Giveaway Winner and Brief Announcement

February 5, 2016 2 Comments

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so sorry this party is late! My dad had surgery this week, so I’ve barely been on my computer all week long, and then this morning I got up with plans to post the party, and I actually had to take our son to the doctor, and you know how that goes!

Anyway, with all that being said, I’m not posting features this week. Instead I’m just going to make a few announcements. First off, I have a winner from last week’s giveaway. Congratulations to Lynda from Reviews, Chews, & How-Tos! She won a lovely handbag and teapot from Pavilion Gifts.

And my second announcement is that we will soon be adding another hostess or two to the party! I’ll be doing an official announcement and have a form posted next week for those who’d like to apply. (I hope!) But if you have any questions about that or if you’d like to go ahead and express interest, I welcome you to contact me via email at simplysweethome@hotmail.com.

Chili Tacos and Game Time with Progresso Chili

January 25, 2016 Leave a Comment

We’ve been watching some big games on tv, and there are still a few more big one to go! And with the winter weather finally upon us, there’s no better time to celebrate game night with a nice bowl of Progresso Chili. Stews and chilis are some of my favorite comfort foods, and that’s just one reason I love serving them for game night! They are also foods that you can serve to most anyone, and if more people show up to your get together, there’s usually enough to go around!

Progresso Chili comes in convenient pouches and can be whipped up in minutes using your microwave or stove stop. And they are thick and feature large chunks of meat and beans! It’s a great way to to dine on a dime! It’s also goes great on a buffet of appetizers and other game night foods, and is the perfect take along item for pot lucks! [Read more…]
