Let me just start by saying I LOVE this thing! Lately I have been overwhelmed with work and didn't have a lot of time to open my Rollie , but when I did, I was hooked! Rollie is a vertical grill by Kalorik . The fast, easy, pan free way to make perfect eggs every time. We started by making what my kids call "Pancakes on a stick". I cooked my sausage links first and put each one on it's own skewer. I then mixed my pancake batter. I sprayed the chamber with non stick cooking oil (very important). Then I added 1/4 cup of pancake batter to the chamber and inserted my sausage skewer. I gave each one about 8 minutes to cook and removed it from the Rollie. PERFECTION! My entire family loved them! I had one piece of sausage left after every had eaten so I cracked an egg into my Rollie and inserted the sausage skewer in the middle. I then added a little pinch of shredded cheese and when it was done, the skewer rose out of the Rollie to perfection! My only complaint ...

Even though laminate and vinyl flooring is very durable and retains its beauty well under a great deal of use, there is some maintenance that must be performed. In order to retain the beautiful look of hardwood, floor coverings of all types will need some type of care in order to prevent damages and to retain their original condition.  The amount of maintenance necessary can often be determined by the following factors: ·          the amount of traffic on the floor ·          the type of traffic that the flooring is exposed to ·          the color of the flooring ·          the type of flooring Even Top Quality Floor Materials Require Some Maintenance Too often, homeowners believe that their top-of-the-line flooring doesn’t need any particular care.

Dry-Me Bedwetting Alarm & 7 Steps to Nighttime Dryness Book Review/Giveaway Down South Savings has teamed up with a few of your favorite bloggers to bring you this special event. Review written by Couponing as a Lifestyle . I had the opportunity to work with the Bedwetting Store and bring you this awesome review/giveaway. With 4 boys it should be no surprise that nighttime dryness has been an on going battle with a couple of my boys. One of them in particular struggles the most and honestly it did not seem like there was light at the end of the tunnel. I had discussed options with our pediatrician and none of those options were a good fit for us. Patience is something that is needed and lots of it. Most importantly recognizing that this is just a childhood issue and our sons already felt funny about it. I have always been very low key about it, not wanting to upset them further. But it is a battle that does need to be addressed and using the Dry-Me Bedwetting Al...

I recently had the chance to work with  Build A Sign  and review their fridge magnet business cards. I customized mine for my blog and designed it using images from my computer. My cards arrived very timely and they were just as I had ordered. You can currently get (100) 2 X 3.5 magnets for only $19.99! This is a great price for the quality and the excellent customer service you'll receive! I chose the magnets because people are more likely to keep them around vs a card. I will keep any magnet that I receive and stick it on my fridge to hold artwork or important information so I assume there are many people out there like me. I have handed these card magnets out to businesses that I frequent and have gained several followers as a result. Build A Sign has many products to choose from! They specialize in  Retractable Banners  so be sure to check out their wide selection or start from scratch with your very own design! You can also customize wall decor with y...

The oven is not the only thing that’s HOT in the kitchen anymore! I recently had the opportunity to work with Flirty Aprons and review their Blue Chocolate Apron. Their fashionable, durable Original Style aprons are the perfect accessory for today’s busy woman. These durable, double-layered aprons were designed with the real woman in mind. Long, thick waist ties and a unique pattern allow women to adjust the tie length. Resulting in REAL WOMEN of every size, not just models, looking beautiful and feeling great. My apron arrived very fast and was much more than I expected. It was not a thin, cheap looking apron that you find at many places these days. It was very fashionable and durable! My husband made comments as soon as I pulled it from it's packaging about how sexy it was! He also put in a few food orders. :/  The ties on the apron are very long and allow me to bring it back around to the front and make a pretty bow with it. Flirty Aprons make perfect...

Not to mention the fresh turnip greens and spinach, and the best homemade tomato juice!
