“You’re the Bomb” Thank You Gift {Free Printable}

August 3, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 37 Comments

Sometimes you just need to say thank you.

Especially for those things you just come to expect from people like your drycleaners, neighborhood barista, and even your daycare. These people make your world go ’round and can save your booty every time when you’re rushed, need a favor, or even just a smile when your day is done…

With temperatures skyrocketing and a last few weeks where I felt I had cashed in all my favors with everyone, it was time to put a little back in emotional currency…or much easier said, I needed to give back and just say thank you to a lot of people who had helped our family keep going!

A little recognition was in order – in a sweet way.

With a quick run to Kroger for the Original Bomb Pop, a cold ice chest, and a little bit of ink from the printer, Project “You’re the Bomb” was underway! Using this cute free printable paired with the iconic rocket-shaped multi-flavor sweet treat, made for an easy giftable that was just as much fun to make and give as it was to get!

Printing on 5X7 print sheets, the card can be used for anyone you want to say thank you to!

A few tips for the “You’re the Bomb” thank you gift, consider the following:

Don’t try to do too many unless you have a super cooler to keep it cold for hours
Think about the schedule the people on your list have. Don’t show up at their busy time or they might now be able to enjoy it
Make sure to enter this giveaway to get your Bomb Pop Prize pack including $25 gift card to Kroger!

Birthday Party Hosting Toolkit

July 28, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 23 Comments

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Wet-Nap®, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ConquerTheMess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I ~~like~~ LOVE to plan my kids’ birthday parties.

Diapers and potty training sucked, but I consider one of the perks of motherhood is that I can get to plan events that not only my kids can remember, but the adults actually enjoy, too!

Each birthday the kids and I brainstorm together what their birthday theme including the decor, food, and entertainment. While photos always show the end results with cake, centerpieces, etc., the event planner in me B.C. (before children) has one trick up her sleeve that may not be make it to the slideshow, but always makes it to the party…my Birthday Party Mess Toolkit.

From Mickey Mouse, Dinosaurs, The Little Mermaid, and our recent Golf Par-tee, mama always packs these items to ensure a successful birthday with easy cleanup where ever you are!

MamaChallenge.com Birthday Party Toolkit

1. Scissors

This will save you every time. From prepping birthday balloons or if a kid gets stuck on a piece of wood (it happened), you’ll feel like Batman will you pull these out of your utility belt.

2. Tape

Like scissors, you never know when you’ll need, but when you do, you’ll save the (birth)day. Many times decorations come down at the last minute and a big thing of duct tape will make you better than Handy Manny.

3. Twine

Twine or string end up with interesting uses, from hanging decorations to tying up that pinata, but at $1 buck a roll, you’ll be happy you sacrificed a George Washington.

4. Black Sharpie Pen

You should never leave your house without one of these. Ever. From putting a child’s name on a favor bag you didn’t know was coming or making a direction sign to find the party, a Sharpie is your saving grace.

5. First Aid Kit

This is a no-brainer; one kid will always need a band-aid, but make sure the bandages are the plain brown ones, unless you want to handout bandages like a birthday favor.

6. Bug Spray and Sunscreen

No matter what time of the year, you need to be prepared for both of these. Nothing is worse than a child that turns into a tomato because she’s blistered by the sun or bit from a bug.

7. Notepad and Pen

The writing down of the gifts is the last thing you remember to prepare for, so just make sure to keep a little notepad in your kit and you’ll never feel like you have to memorize gift wrap to gift ever again!

8. Charge Stick and Batteries

This is a new add to my kit, but is a MUST HAVE. One of those cheap battery backups will save you when your phone is dwindling on 10%. And batteries? If you don’t bring them, every gift you’ll get will have them and that’s no good – ever.

9. Wet-Naps

Every mom and dad will thank you for having Wet-Naps – all over the place. Safe to be used on face, hands and body, you’ll need for everything from crafting conundrums to cupcake cleanup. Just make picking up Wet-Naps as part of your regular run to Walmart with the eggs, milk and bread! (You’ll never not use ’em!)

10. Large plastic baggy/plastic grocery sack

Occasionally, you might have an accident (and when I say accident, I’m referring to a child that wets his pants ) or need to keep up with something special. A plastic bag is like that extra box of Girl Scout cookies that you don’t know why you bought them, but they always disappear.

Visit Walmart for all your Wet-Nap® needs: 110-Count Hands, Face, & Body Cleansing Wipes, 24-Count Packettes Antibacterial Hand Wipes and 40-Count Canister Antibacterial Hand Wipes.

Keep Rolllin’ with Easy Lunch Box Sushi

July 27, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 6 Comments

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media®, and Hillshire Farm®, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #HillshireNaturals http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH.

I’d like to say that there was a time in the day where things slowed down, but they don’t.

The morning is a mad dash to the first of many destinations. Lunch often doesn’t even get a moment to be recognized except when you hear my stomach. And dinner is the brief moment between getting home, homework and getting back to unfinished work.

So any meal that doesn’t require more than five minutes and is healthy to eat, is a win-win in my book – whether it’s for the kids or for me!

Thankfully, Hillshire Farm is taking time for the important things like choosing the best farms and the best cuts of meat, to make natural lunch meats that are 100% natural and even better, 100% guaranteed you’re gonna like ’em!

We can take down a container of Hillshire Farm in just one sitting at any meal of the day, but I don’t feel bad because it’s it’s free of artificial ingredients, colors, preservatives, gluten and 97% fat free.

Save $0.75 on any ONE (1) Hillshire Farm Naturals® Black Forest Ham or Honey Roasted Ham with this digital coupon available through the Just4U online portal. *** Expires 8/9/15. (While Supplies Last)

However, wanting to change it up a bit, we made a way to make a quick, fun, easy and “creative” way to put a few vegetables into the mix with this lunch box sushi made with Hillshire Farm Naturals Ham I found at Tom Thumb.

By taking items always found in the fridge, like our favorite Hillshire Farm Honey Roasted Ham, carrots, spinach, string cheese and white bread, I made up a meal that’s paired perfect with fresh fruit or a snack that can be eaten with my fingers while still working on the hustle and bustle of the day like in the car or on the computer!

Finally you have something that keeps you rollin’ all day and even mix up with other items like eggs, Hillshire Farm ham and cheese for breakfast! And finally there’s also a lunch meat that taste good, is good for you and best of all is good for your budget!

Don’t you ❤️ it when you find your favorite healthy go-to AND its on sale? #HillshireNaturals #WeaveMade #ad

And Hillshire Farm® goes one step further with a “Love It or We’ll Eat It” Guarantee to try the new Hillshire Farm Naturals. If you love it, they’ll donate a meal to someone in need and if you don’t, you get your money back! It’s that easy!

7 Must-Haves for Hawaiian Falls Water Park {Giveaway}

July 23, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 20 Comments

*Affiliate links included.*

Guess what? If you live in Texas, you know it gets hot. One moment it’s 75, spring and perfect, and moments later, you are faced with triple-digit-temperatures and the beaming sun. It’s just part of the perks in living in the best state in America…LOL.

So until the fall comes in a month or we experience a random “cool front,” the water park isn’t just for fun, it’s a way of survival as we to find ways to keep cool this summer.

One of our favorites you can find throughout North Texas is Hawaiian Falls. These family-friendly Water and NOW Adventure Parks offer right-size water fun at several locations throughout Texas including DFW-based Roanoke, The Colony, Garland and Mansfield. No matter what location you head to, the whole family can dive in or even rent a cabana for the day for the ultra-luxury convenience (that’s actually really easy on the wallet, too!

But before you head to the any of the nine, make sure your family has these key water-park essentials that will ensure everyone stays safe, cool. and ready for real water fun at Hawaiian Falls.

1) Beach Bag
Large tote that can hold all of your summer necessities. This one is HUGE and looks like it would hold everything you could possibly need!

2) Large Beach Towel
Dry off and rest from all of the playing on a big beach towel. Buying a beach towel is a special process, but the theory is – the bigger, the better, like this one!

3) Water Shoes
Keep those toes safe as your walk (don’t run) around the waterpark. (However, you cannot wear watershoes on the large slides.) I just bought these in green for my son and he loves the cool design, color and I love the durability and price!)

4) Hat
Shield yourself from the sun rays one layer at a night with a big floppy hat, and the one comes in a variety of colors. Plus you’ll look really cute as you cover that lack of makeup and wet hair. (It don’t matter, if you don’t mind…as long as you look like JLO, right?) And don’t forget the babies either with this cute, waterproof and UPF 50 one for the kids.)

5) Sunscreen

Because who likes sunburns and wants to look like raisin? Protect you and your family by applying sunscreen every hour at least, especially when you’re at the water park. This one is a perfect size for the beach bag and has an SPF of 50. Remember, the FDA just released that spraying on sunscreen isn’t effective; you need to apply a cream or one of my favorites, mineral brush-on for your face.

(6) Cooler
Find yourself a small-to-medium cooler to hold lunch and cold drinks for the day. One with wheels like this one is recommended, and you can place your beach tote on top for easy rolling! Make sure you remember to buy a cooler pass, only $10 to have your arsenal of snacks and drinks with you all day.

7) Large Plastic “Ziplock” Bags
Like sunscreen a bag for all your necessities like your mobile phone, money, etc. should be put in a plastic zip baggie or one of these waterproof bags to make sure your day doesn’t go from delightful to dead phone.

Arrive at one of these parks bright and early at 10 a.m. and prepare yourself for a day of relaxation and laughs. Whether you have a toddler just starting to walk or elementary-aged child who is yearning for a little bit independence, Hawaiian Falls has all amenities to keep your family happy.

Want to learn more about what you can bring or not bring to Hawaiian Falls? Make sure to check their FAQs.

Tickets range from $19.99 to $26.99 depending upon the park you choose and the amenities you select within the park (like the adventure parks which may have additional fees.)

OR you can win family four passes to Hawaiian Falls!

Road Trip with QuikTrip

July 19, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 46 Comments

Summers are synonymous with road trips.

Just take a look at your Facebook feed and you’ll see friends and family all packing up their minivans and SUVs to take off down the highway to visit loved ones, to find new adventures or sometimes just seeing where the road takes them. [Just check out our Road Trip Adventures.]

A big part of that road trip experience is where you stop along the way for the important things: you know, bathroom breaks and something to eat!

However, no longer does grabbing a soggy sandwich at the convenience store or bag a chips have to be your only option. Gas stations like Quik Trip have transformed to road destinations for everything you need including always-clean bathrooms, a variety of delicious hot coffees, fresh and hot entrees, and even that missing item you forgot to pack.

Now outfitted with a “hot kitchen,” most QT locations will cook up anything you request on their self-serve kiosks including healthy smoothies and milkshakes, thick crust pizzas and some pretty tasty kolaches. While the new offerings are on my hot list, my kids still love the hot dog rollers where they can make up their own dog paired with their 32 oz. of whatever concoctions they made at the drink station. But at the prices the

And don’t pretend you haven’t been tempted by the specialty items they advertise outside when you’re pumping gas…we have all thought how good would those strawberry cheesecake donut holes would be or a nice cold milkshake?

But the sweetest thing I always love about Quik Trip is the service. No matter what time of day, morning, noon and way into the night, the place is clean, the team members are smiling, quick and helpful to get you on your trip…Guess that’s why they call it QuikTrip, huh?

If you haven’t tried your nearest QuikTrip lately to try out their menu, I highly suggest it – even if you aren’t on a road trip. And if you’re planning a few days to be in the car, know that red QT will be there to take care of you along the way – anytime of the day. But the breakfast pizza alone is a reason to get in the car and go over there and get it right now.

Don’t miss this freebie for buy one get one free frozen lemonade and make sure to enter for a $25 gift card to try QuikTrip for yourself!

Happy Road Trippin’!

Get Teachers Back to School with #RaiseAHand

July 15, 2015 By Autumn Rose Reo 13 Comments

Last year was my son’s first year of school. Like every mom I thought my child was superkid; supersmart and super ready for anything that first grade threw at him.

What I learned is that while there were some areas he did wonderfully at, some areas he just wasn’t cutting it. To make sure he didn’t fall behind, it required not only he and I work together at night, but weekly tutoring with his teacher AFTER school. Each week she met with him separately for an hour to work on homework. Not as part of a special fee; not as something we did for just a few months, but throughout the whole year. It wasn’t easy, but it made a huge difference for him going forward and his attitude on school (especially reading!)

I can’t tell if he’s scared out of his mind or so excited he can’t wait! Probably both; I know I am! #backtoschool @thebroadcasttv

Teachers like Mrs. Morales at Viridian Elementary deserve to be recognized not just for their great teaching, but because of their attitude to go”over and beyond.”

Did you know? According to AdoptAClassroom.org:

Teachers spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to equip their classrooms
70% of teachers have even purchased apparel items like jackets, socks and shoes for their students
1 in 3 teachers are actually buying clothes for students (along with school supplies) with money from their own pockets

My new favorite website to find back to school clothes for 90% off retail, thredUP.com, has partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work and the positive impact they make each day on our children’s lives, just like Mrs. Morales did for my son.

[Tweet “I nominated Ms. Morales! Please vote for her! #RaiseAHand for teachers with @thredUP & @Adopt_classroom: http://bit.ly/1IHMV67 “]

Now until August 23, you can nominate a teacher you think is deserving to win money for their classrooms and a credit with thredUP. Three teachers each win $2,500 for classroom supplies and $500 to thredUP. 50 runner-up winners receive $100 to thredUP. Winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 8.
