Stay Stocked Up and "Avoid the Oops" with P&G and Walmart.com! {#AvoidtheOops}

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Walmart.

During the school year, I feel as though life is busy. Between homework, practices, errands, soccer games, volunteering, PTO events, and more, the kids and I hit the ground running in the morning and don't stop until dinner.

However, once summer arrives, it isn't long before I'm reminded on just how busy our days can actually get. Arriving for swim meets at 6:45am, loading and unloading bikes for triathlon training (for the kids, not me), making it on time to birthday parties, barbecues, play dates, and more... whose idea was it to schedule three different things all happening one right after another? Me? Oh. Right.

Needless to say, I've been slacking on some of my usual household duties, as let's be honest. A mom can only get so many things accomplished in the span of 24 hours.

Fortunately for all of us, I've been able to "Avoid the Oops" of running out of the essentials we need in just about every room of the house thanks to all of the great stock up options available from P&G and Walmart.com!

From tissues to cleaning supplies to soap to toothpaste, P&G has all of the items that my family depends on each and every day. I try to always keep extra Charmin in all of our bathroom cabinets, as we all know that sinking feeling when you reach for the toilet paper roll only to find that it is empty, right?

And don't even get me started on how I felt my heart skip a beat a few weeks ago when I went to wash yet another load of swimsuits and towels only to find my bottle of Tide detergent empty. It was a good thing that I was able to dig around on my laundry room shelves to find one lonely sample package stashed away!

That was the day that I went straight to my computer to stock up at Walmart.com. Their convenient Avoid the Oops site is filled with page after page of P&G products in all categories, sizes, price ranges, and more — and, if your order is $50 or more, it automatically comes with FREE shipping (whatever the order total, there is always free store pickup as well)!

This really couldn't be much easier, which is why there is no reason to take time away from summer fun and drag my kids to store after store when just about every essential we need can be purchased at Walmart's everyday low prices and then delivered right to our door instead.

It only took me a matter of minutes before I had my cart filled and my order placed. All that was left to do was sit back and let Walmart and P&G take care of the rest!

After a few days of enjoying the summer sunshine, the first half of my order arrived safely and well packed. Another couple days later and the second half showed up, just as conveniently as the first!

Can we just talk about how much easier it is to have these items be delivered to me for free rather than dragging all of their bulk in and out of the cart, trunk and into my house? And what a time-saver!

We use Bounty paper towels for just about everything and these Puffs tissues have already been put to use due to the amount of sneezing and sniffling that my kids have been doing thanks to their summer colds.

As for the Cascade Platinum and Tide PODS? They are my lifesavers. The washing machine and the dishwasher are running constantly, so being able to grab one of these handy little packets to toss into the machine is a must!

When it comes to saving time and money, the everyday low prices at Walmart can't be beat and the convenience of having it all delivered right to your door is nothing short of magical.

Why spend more time indoors shopping when you could be outside enjoying summer instead? Head over to AvoidTheOops.com to see just what high quality P&G products are waiting for you today!

Do you have an "Oops" moment when you realized you were out of an essential?

There's Still Time to Shop the Ridiculously Awesome 2015 Kmart Fab 15 Holiday Toy List! {#Fab15Toys}

Even though I roll my eyes and make comments on the number of toys that are already in our house, when the holiday ads and catalogs start arriving, I secretly get a little excited every year. There's just something fun about seeing my own kids go through page by page and point out each item that they dream will be under the tree Christmas morning just like I used to do!

Do you know how many years I had to ask Santa for a Snoopy Sno Cone Machine before he finally brought it? I circled it in marker or cut out the picture and glued it to my list Christmas after Christmas after Christmas before that ice-crushing sugar-syrup-dripping thing eventually showed up.

If I recall correctly, I think I used it approximately twice to make sno cones. So... maybe it's possible that Santa knew something that I didn't?

Back to School at Walmart Means Shopping Like a Boss! {#BTSLikeABoss}

When it comes to Back to School shopping, my mental list tends to always include most of the same standards that have been on there for parents for decades: backpack, folders, markers, clothes, lunchbox, etc.

But I know that I'm not the only parent that, in the rush of getting kids prepared and ready for a new school year to start, gets frustrated with the hassle of having to visit store after store to get every last item. One place for glue sticks, one for shoes, one for juice boxes and one more for a jacket? Blah.

Instead, it's so much easier knowing that we can always go to just one store, Walmart, and get everything on our school supply lists —plus more— at an everyday low price! Even better, with so many great Back to School purchases, we can get a head start on collecting more Box Tops for our school. All by stocking up our home with paper products from Kleenex, Scott, and Viva Like A Boss!

With two girls with two different school supply lists, I already feel as though I've spent too much time going from one store to the next to get particular items (and inevitably forgetting at least one thing!), so finding out that Walmart Back to School makes everything so much easier is a stress reliever.

Simply grab your list, go to Walmart (instead of going from store to store), find everything you need all in one place, and grab extra Box Tops on the paper products and home essentials from the brands you trust for your home at the same time! We all know that Back to School season includes catching colds and lots of hurried messes, so it's better to be prepared to tackle it all with Kleenex Tissues, Viva Towels, Scott Paper Towels, Scott Bath Tissue and more.

Just take a look at these great deals!

As well as the amazing quality, durability and reliability of these products, I love that they come with bonus Box Tops!

A General Mills program, Box Tops for Education began as an experiment on boxes of Cheerios in California with first year earnings of $1 million. Since then, it has grown to include hundreds of participating brands providing needed cash for 90,000+ enrolled K-8 schools.

Box Tops for Education has now earned well over $500 million for schools since the program started in 1996 and I'm happy doing my part by clipping these colorful tags off of products and bringing them into my girls' school to help them earn money. If I can buy the items that we know and love and help earn some extra cash to better my children's education, why wouldn't I participate?

One trip later and my kids were stocked up for Back to School and our home was ready to tackle all of the daily and seasonal aspects of the season!

Are you ready to go Back to School Like A Boss? Head over to find out about all of the awesome savings you can take advantage of by going Back to School at Walmart (there are daily deals there, so be sure to visit every day!) and share your own stores about how you go #BTSLikeABoss on social media.

Easily Find the Perfect Gift Using the Best Buy Gift Ideas Experience!

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

I have often said that I really enjoy gift-giving, but it's the gift-purchasing that always leaves me stumped.

Or, more accurately, the gift-purchasing ideas.

Between kids (what are their interests?) and teachers (where is the happy medium between practical and fun?) and family and friends (what in the world don't they already own?), I find that coming up with items that are unique and different is a continual challenge.

I want to give a gift that makes the recipient's eyes light up, not one that they'll politely thank me for and then immediately move on. But what? And where?

Fortunately, I've recently learned that finding the perfect birthday gifts (as well as gifts for the holidays, graduations, anniversaries and more) is easier than ever thanks to the Best Buy Online Gift Ideas Experience!

Already known as a leading provider of technology products, services and solutions, Best Buy has long been a favorite of consumers for the way that they offer expert service at unbeatable prices.

But did you know that Best Buy has tools to help you find the perfect gift for anyone? That's right! The Best Buy Gift Ideas Page at BestBuy.com/gifts provides the gift inspiration you need with lists of great gift ideas for Him, Her, Kids and Teens to help you quickly zero-in on the right gifts for the right people.

Search by occasion (Birthday, Anniversary, Housewarming or New Parents), price (Under $25, $25-$49.99, $50-$99.99, $100-$249.99 and Over $250) or simply see what is trending right now to be introduced to the latest and greatest that your recipient is sure to love. For those that are especially into awesome, the list of Top Tech Gifts can easily inspire you with the best in new technology!

But, let's face it. Knowing what will make the perfect gift can be hard, even with the best suggestions from a store with such a vast array of products and options to choose from. Which is why sometimes the perfect gift is a gift card!

With no expiration dates or fees, Best Buy makes it possible to select your gift card design (there are an endless number of fun patterns and styles to choose from!), choose the amount and then add it to your cart. Have it shipped directly to your recipient or to you if you would like to give it to them in person, or opt for the eGift Card that is delivered instantly via email so there is no waiting (or for those of us who are sometimes last minute shoppers).

There is still one more way that the Best Buy Online Gift Ideas Experience can help with finding the best gifts (for your recipients as well as for YOU), the Best Buy Wish List!

Encouraging your family and friends to create and share wish lists is a win-win for everyone, as you can get them the gifts that they really want and they can rest assured that they have made shopping an easier process.

At the same time, simply by starting your own Best Buy Wish List you'll have a place to keep track of all the great gift ideas that you have for yourself. Whether for an upcoming graduation, move, return back to school or simply as an ongoing place to direct family members when birthdays and holidays roll around, your wish list is the perfect way to keep track of everything you want all in one place.

This fall and beyond, it's easy to turn gift-giving into phenomenal presents for everyone on your shopping list with the Best Buy Gift Ideas Experience.

Then let your loved ones show you just how much they care by creating your own Best Buy Wish List of all of your favorites, too. Happy shopping!

"Be Yourself, Together" with a Target Wedding Registry! {#TargetWedding}

For many of us, January signifies the end of another busy holiday season and the start of a new year. Whether we are looking ahead towards starting a new job, welcoming an addition to the family, embarking on travels or simply continuing on with life, 2015 is here to stay.

However, for many couples who celebrated the holidays and New Year's Eve with the added joy, love and amazement of an engagement, this year is all about wedding planning! Dates, venues, vows, invitations, dresses, cakes, decorations... there is so much that goes into ensuring that the big day is as memorable and dream-filled as possible!

But adding unique touches to the wedding day itself isn't the only way that couples can let both of their personalities shine. Your friends and family want to help start you off on your new life together, and there's no better way to let them do just that than by heading to your nearest Target to browse, sign up and fill your Target Wedding Registry!

From home decor to games and electronics to items for entertaining (and everything in between), Target's wedding registry allows users to add anything from the store or Target.com to their wishlist. The possibilities are endless so why not start your new life together with all of the everyday essentials, necessities, splurges and things you'll both really use and love?

But, along with the practicality, ease and convenience, registering at Target can also help unlock a whole world of unexpected experiences together! As couples prepare to embark on their joint life, any and all of the fantastic items from their Target Wedding registry can make it more fun and more meaningful.

And, as much as traveling to exotic destinations and throwing lavish dinner parties are wonderful events, sometimes something more simple like dinner and date-night-in is going to make up the memories that you cherish most.

For instance, registering for a high quality Calphalon Stainless Steel Cookware Set and the OXO 17-pc. Culinary Tool and Utensil Set would be the perfect way to ensure that the two of you are prepared to whip up your favorite dinner...

...or try something new! Why not look up a few recipes online or in your favorite cookbook that neither of you have tried before? You never know when your next attempt will turn into a jackpot dish that you both will love!

And it would be even easier to finish off the meal by registering for an amazing KitchenAid Ultra Power 4.5 Qt Stand Mixer and a BakerEze Nonstick 10-pc. Baker's Basics Set so that it is a snap to whip up all sorts of sweet and savory desserts!

Once you've got your luxurious dessert out of the oven, is there any better way to top off date-night-in than by cuddling up together on the couch to eat it while listening to some romantic music or watching a romantic film?

If you've received your SONOS PLAY: 5 Wireless HiFi System from your Target Wedding Registry, then all you need is to pull up your Threshold Bar Cart, Threshold Etched Glass Drinkware Collection and The Complete Book of Mixed Drinks and you're fully prepared for smooth sounds and extended cuddling. Or, to bring the love to the small screen, pop in any movie from the Miramax Romance: 6 Movie Pack and the night is complete!

Now that we have kids, my husband and I don't have nearly as many date-night-in evenings as we used to, but I love being able to look back at our younger days and relish in the memories that we had cooking and spending time staying home enjoying each other's company (some meals turned out to be a hit and some were a burnt miss)!

No matter what sort of adventures you have planned with your betrothed, be sure to keep a Target Wedding registry in mind so that your family and friends can help you experience life to the fullest.

They make it possible to have an easy and engaging registry experience by providing inspirational starter lists; your guests can shop in-store or online; returns and exchanges are simple; and you even receive a 15% off completion offer so that after your wedding you can pick up any items left on your registry at a discount.

If you or someone you know is planning their wedding, be sure to find out more about all of Target's Wedding Registry options by visiting Target.com or visiting your local Target store today!

Shopping Online? Save Money and Earn Cash Back at FreeShipping.com! {#LoveFreeShipping}

Although I know that there was shopping back before we had the internet, sometimes I just have to shake my head because it seems hard to believe. Did I really have to get in the car and just drive to the store to browse to make a purchase? Or, if I knew what I was going to get, I had to basically keep my fingers crossed that the size/color would be in stock?

It really is no surprise that online shopping has become such a popular choice, as the savings, vast array of options, and overall convenience really can't be beat... particularly for holiday shopping and getting to skip the crowds, lines and hassle!

#GIVEHAPPY This Holiday Season with Style and Quality from Oshkosh B'gosh

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B'gosh. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Although I'm pretty much always looking at my kids and wondering how in the world it seems like I blinked and they grew another four inches, the change in seasons manages to shine a spotlight on it even more.

Removing the tank tops from drawers (geez, this looks tiny!), packing away the capris (were these even meant to be capris or did your legs just get too long for them?) and digging out snow pants (add on five minutes to all of our prep-to-leave time to sausage your way into them!) always results in a massive pile of outgrown clothes and shoes that make me shake my head.

How is it that you both outgrew all of the leggings and sweatshirts from last year? Are those boots too tight? What do you mean your pajamas are too small?

Fortunately, I love knowing that I don't have to break the bank while trying to keep my girls stylish and comfortable this holiday season and beyond, as there are always a countless number of mix and match outfits and accessories for girls (as well as boys and babies) available from OshKosh B'gosh. There's just no way to see these great colors, timeless designs and quality pieces and not have a smile on your face!

Founded in 1895 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, OshKosh B'gosh has been a trusted name in children's clothing for generations and is the leading provider of baby and young children's apparel (sizes newborn - 12). Offering everything from casual playwear to special occasion dresses, each item stays true to their roots of quality, durability and craftsmanship.

Whether your little one needs to look their best for family photos, or they're romping around in the snow in the backyard, OshKosh offers adorable and comfortable clothing for both formal and casual situations... and everything in between!

After browsing a bit online, the girls and I were excited to head to our local OshKosh B'gosh to see the fun holiday styles in person and, just from seeing the bright colors and sale signs through the windows, we were definitely ready to shop!

We were only steps inside the door before we were enveloped by the cuteness! It was everywhere in every style and every size and every color!

As well as being enamored with the colors and timeless and trend-relevant styles, the bargain-hunter in me was immediately in love with the way that there were great deals waiting in every direction.

Everything from winter necessities to accessories to great cold weather everyday pieces seemed to be on sale, so there was far more to save money on than just past-season markdowns. You can't beat a thick, soft full or half-zip fleece for only $8 or $9!

When it came time to shop, even though we didn't spend all that much time over in the boys' section, even a quick glance showed me that OshKosh makes it easy to dress him up or down, with a variety of plaids, khakis, graphic tees, cargo pants, jeans and much more.

I love the idea of jeans with a sweater that come together for a classic, appropriate-yet-rugged look for holiday photos!

For girls, on the other hand, it is easy to give her lady-like style in comfy, kid-friendly cotton. Whether looking for prints, stripes, bold designs or simply solid basics, it was easy for us to find the perfect winter items with all of the sweet details that my girls love.

Again with the cuteness for holiday photos!

As our holiday season is mainly casual, we stuck with mainly basic, layering pieces that were missing from my daughters' closets... and ended up with a large number of items at a very reasonable price!

On top of the sales that OshKosh B'gosh was running, I had brought along a great coupon that provided 25% off my $30 purchase that brought the total down even further!

Click here to download and print off this coupon as well!

My girls have already worn each of the tops and leggings that we purchased and have commented on the comfort, softness, details and the overall look... while I've been thrilled at the quality, durability and the endless mix-and-match possibilities.

I have no doubt that OshKosh B'gosh will pop up at home, at school and throughout the holidays with how much we're happy with our shopping purchases!

Whether your family has big plans for the holidays or you simply are as eager as I am to rid closets and dressers of outgrown clothing, OshKosh B'gosh is sure to have plenty of adorably sweet items in their collection that will showcase bold, bright color, crisp classics, fresh florals and many more that will work for the little personalities in your house.

Even better, right now OshKosh B'gosh is running a  #GIVEHAPPY campaign that is helping all of us remember the importance of celebrating the holidays and delighting in the simple joys of childhood. While the "big" moments occur, sometimes it is the simple, everyday moments that can #GIVEHAPPY — small acts of kindness, hugs, smiles, laughter, fun and more.

Be sure to check out all of the OshKosh B'gosh clothes, shoes and accessories for babies through big kids in store (use their handy store locator to find your nearest location) and online and #GIVEHAPPY to those around you!

You can connect with OshKosh at OshKosh.com as well as on Facebook and Twitter for even more outfitting ideas, vintage ads, deals, special events and more. And don't forget to grab this 25% off coupon to bring with when you shop your local OshKosh B'gosh or to redeem it online!

What fun!

This holiday season, Kmart is also encouraging members and customers to give the gift of hope by joining them in support of St. Jude's commitment to saving children's lives.

Kmart is the all-time leading corporate fundraiser for St. Jude as 100% of the donation to the St. Jude Thanks & Giving campaign goes toward understanding, treating and defeating cancer other diseases in children.

How great is that? I love that a parent can sit down with their child and the Fab 15 and not only quickly and easily browse toys that will surely top wish lists everywhere, but can also incorporate a wonderful lesson about donating to a good cause.

Customers and members can shop for any of the items on the Fab 15 list at local Kmart stores nationwide or online anytime, so head to your nearest store or to Kmart.com today!

What is on your child's wish list this year? Is there a must-have toy that makes you nostalgic for your youth?
