Decked Out Crunchy Taco Tostadas With Hamburger Helper

Is tomorrow really the first day of May? Spring is flying by right before my eyes. Soon it will be the end of the school year and the beginning of a long awaited Summer vacation. I can’t stress enough how thrilled I am to not have to wake up before the sun rises each day. The next month or so is going to be hectic, from the end of the year classroom celebrations to preparing for Summer camp activities. I have plenty to do and each day it seems like something new gets added to that list. There really isn’t very much time in between either. The last thing I want to do after a busy day of running around is slave away in the kitchen. Simple meals are a must and while we all appreciate a quick fix satisfy hungry tummies, it doesn’t mean they have to be bland or boring. In fact, these decked out Crunchy Taco Tostadas using Hamburger Helper are anything but that!

Spring isn’t just about cleaning out the clutter and starting fresh. It’s also the season to save and stock up on household must-have items.

Now is the time to take advantage of the Walmart Stock and Save Event where you can get your favorite P&G products for affordable prices through the month of April. If there is one thing you can never have too much of it’s toilet paper. There is nothing worse than running out of that essential and we’ve all experienced the anguish of reaching for an empty roll!

Saving BIG For Disney With Paperless Coupons! #WalgreensPaperless

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.

I have a love-hate relationship with coupons. Our relationships hasn’t always been strained but over the years we have had our differences. Don’t get me wrong, when I was pregnant five years ago I spent a lot of my free time clipping, organizing, and enjoying the thrill of saving. If anyone knew how to use coupons it was me. My family referred to me as freebie queen and frugalista because I was always taking advantage of a new deal. But as the years passed I became busy with many other things- working, school, parenting, and blogging. I just don’t have all that extra time to slave away, flipping through mailers and snipping until the wee hours of the night.

This Summer Do More + Score BIG With Degree At Walgreens

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence.

When I was growing up sports were always a huge part of my life. My grandfather used to take me to all of the Florida Marlin’s baseball games and to this day we remain Dolphin’s season ticket holders. While I spent many years cheering from the sidelines at the the baseball and football games, I soon developed a passion for soccer as I entered high school. Kicking the ball around, being part of an organized team, and having the wind blow in your hair as you dashed to score a goal was beyond exciting. To this day I regret not trying out for the soccer team. Instead I moved my focus to cheerleading which was an interest that quickly faded away!

Perfect Your Pout For The Holidays With Sephora & VIB Shopping Event This Month!

This week I took the time to browse the newest and existing gift sets Sephora has to offer during the holidays online and in store. I’ve been gravitating towards lip products lately and noticed that they have so many gift sets from brands that I love. Each year I pick up a few of their Sephora Favorite’s Fragrance Samplers because they make great gifts for any age or gender. Last Christmas I purchased one for my mom and my boyfriend because I always spend hours deciding what scent they would like best. With this gift set they were able to smell several samples and redeem for a full sized fragrance of their choice. Such an awesome concept when people are difficult to shop for!

Sometimes we skip morning meals because we are too busy or just bored of eating the same things over and over again. Breakfast doesn’t have to be plain Jane. You can take a simple bowl of Cheerios and kick it up a notch by adding fresh fruit. Yogurt lover? Not only can you put fruit in this too but try adding granola or chocolate chips!
