Puppies vs Babies

This post brought to you by Puppies vs. Babies. All opinions are 100% mine.

We all know babies are adorable but same thing goes with some puppies.  As much as I am a baby lover the moment I saw Dexter, he won over my heart in this contest.  No offense to mommies and babies who joined this contest, perhaps me being a mom too makes me feel a little biased about babies.  Of course for me who's the best and cutest baby of all will be my very own son. 

If I have known about the contest early enough  could've joined in an entry of my son.  Too bad the Puppies vs. Babies online contest  entries is now closed.  Though it's never too late to participate because you can still send in you votes for  Puppies vs. Babies.  If you can't get enough of your favorite pup or baby keep voting and it can make  a difference.  Don't forget to join in the comment section and express your thoughts for your choice.

Babies and puppies are can make you want to cuddle them.  Why not, they are simply irresistible!  I can't wait to know who will be the crowned champion for this contest, may the best candidate win!

Mommy Prefers Packed Meals

This post brought to you by PackIt. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a mom I make sure we eat healthy and not take junk foods frequently.  This helped me and my husband lose and maintain our desired weight.  As we all know junk foods not only contribute extra calories and fats but also can pose health risks if consumed regularly.  There are so many healthier variety of foods to replace junkies which can even help boost energy and keep you on the right track. 

I pack lunch for my husband twice a week and even for me and our little boy whenever we go out.  There are many occasions when a microwave is not accessible and bringing a cooler can be quite bulky to keep foods either warm or cold.  I myself wouldn't want to eat something that doesn't taste freshly done, it's not being picky but I want my foods like it's freshly served regardless where and when I'm eating it. 

Making use of insulated lunch boxes is a great alternative compared to coolers which take up much space and not as easy to carry around.  Of course if it's packed meals for a person or two it's a lot more convenient just to carry a small lunch box or bag.  PackIt lunch boxes are great for keeping your foods fresh as it stays cold longer than other lunch bags.  I can make use of it when I'm packing fruits, desserts or salads whenever we're on the go.

PackIt is a clever invention of Jeannette and Melissa who wanted a better solution to keep their kids' lunch cool.  To know more if PackIt can work for you and your food packing needs check out the video below and feel free to visit their website.  If you're convinced enough to purchase a bag or two don't lose your time. for a limited time offer you can have PackIt plus a free one for only $19.95.

Needed a Roommate

I finally found a roommate. I thought I would love living in a two bedroom apartment alone, but it is super expensive. When you have to pay for the entire rent and all the utilities, it adds up very quickly. I didn’t start out living alone, but when my last roommate decided to drop out of school, I was left alone in the apartment. I had to cancel the landline phone and the directstartv in order to pay rent. I was only eating noodles and hotdogs and leaving the lights off as long as I could. While the privacy and space was nice, it was not a good lifestyle to live. After only two weeks of living like this, I started the search for a new roommate to help pay the bills. It has been super difficult to find someone in the middle of the school year, but I got very lucky. My current roommate is a super, sweet girl who was living with her boyfriend, but they broke up. While I am sad for her, I am glad I am able to get everything back to normal.

Post Break: Straight For Savings

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

No matter how good you are in budgeting if the allowance is barely enough to buy you life's luxuries then it's really impossible to do it.  Nowadays having extra things like cable, phone line contract, subscription here and there can eat up your hard earned money for nothing.  Most moms go through the toughest budget to make family living decent enough to have everything the family needs.  Same thing goes for managing the household matters and the financial aspect of living.  To get more from your money we have to be extra careful with the spending and be wiser with the choices. 

Take for instance a mobile subscription service, it can be good or bad depending on what kind of plan you are in.  But if you're after for more practical service without having to be in long term binding contracts, see if the witch to Straight Talk can make a difference.  They have the total Hook, line and sinker deal with guaranteed excellent reception and connectivity for a price you won't believe.  Maybe if I were to get such savings then I can spoil my baby a bit more  with some toys that he needs right now, as we all know those things are quite pricey.

Speaking of plans, the "All You Need Plan" are ideal for heavy phone users as it comes with 1,000 minutes & texts plus 30mb of we data.  Their unlimited service starts at $45 with all you can text, call or surf the net for such amount.  Even better get the $499 deal for a year-long service with free 411 calls, free activation, reactivation and termination fees.  International connection is also a breeze, you can Call a friend abroad as fast as 1,2,3.
