Why I Love Gold Toe Ultra Soft, Oh. So. Soft. Socks

Tracking PixelThis is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gold Toe.

Gold Toe Socks

 

When I’m wearing the right outfit, I love a pair of sandals just as much as the next lady, but most days, I’m a sock girl!  Basically if you were ever to stop by my house unannounced, you can pretty much bet that you will find me in my socks!  I just can’t walk around barefooted, and I’ve really never been able go sock-less.  Even when I was a kid I couldn’t stand to go swimming or do any outdoor activity without something on my feet.

Heartburn Free with Nexium

So often on this blog, I share recipes I’ve made for my family, and if you stick around here long enough, you’ll find that we are no stranger to hot and spicy foods.  We love hot wings and Mexican food; sometimes we even try Asian cooking!  It’s all very delicious, but as you can imagine, it often means a little digestive comfort, and for that reason we go to the Purple Pill for Nexium Level Protection!

Other members of my family took Nexium for years, and like a lot of people, our whole family was happy when we learned we’d finally be able to pick up this medicine over the counter! [Read more…]

Share Your Hero with Mrs. Fields and Win!

Share Your Hero with Mrs. Fields

 

Do you have a personal hero? This summer Mrs. Fields® is celebrating heroes near and far. They searching for America’s hometown heroes to appear on future boxes of Mrs. Fields cookies, and you can help! Just go online to MrsFieldsMoments.com and share your hero’s story for a chance to win a year’s supply of cookies for your and your hero!

And that’s not all!  As a proud supporter of the USO, Mrs. Fields® is also donating 25,000 cookies to our heroes in uniform. [Read more…]

Healthy Snacks with Arnold® Healthfull® Bread Challenge & a Giveaway

Arnold Healthfull Bread Giveaway

Every day we struggle to adopt healthy living standards, but it’s actually amazing how easy it can be if you just take baby steps!  One very important baby step (and giant leap) you can take is switching your white bread to a 100% Whole Wheat Bread like Arnold® Healthfull® Bread.

I was recently challenged to try Arnold Healthfull Bread.  I took up the challenge because I’ve always try to convert my husband to whole wheat bread.  Anytime you’re at risk or diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, or obesity, one of the first things doctors say is to cut sugar out of your diet, including the sugar in white bread and to start eating whole grains.  While hubby and I are still “relatively young” and in pretty good shape, I say it’s never too early to start trying to adopt healthy habits!

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Throughout the year I enjoy my share of milkshakes, floats, sundaes, and other yummy ice cream creations.  The hot summer weather just gives me an excuse to enjoy it even more!  This summer I’m stocking my freezer with Blue Bunny ice cream.  They have so many great flavors from classics like Vanilla and Chocolate to fun flavors like Bunny Tracks and Banana Split ice cream, and they have so many fun novelty ice creams!

Chipotle Chicken

With the hot summer weather, comes summer grilling!  Like many households, here at Simply Sweet Home, my husband is the Grill King!  Not only does he do a great job of cooking up meats to perfection, but he is also a master when it comes to creating custom sauces and marinades.

Just like our Southern summers, when it comes to sauces, we like it hot!  Over the weekend my hubby grilled up some delicious chicken, featuring a hot, bold, and savory sauce that doubles as both a marinade and a dipping sauce for entrees and appetizers!
