The mirror shows no reflectionYet there is a "shadow mourner" that no one cares to seelet alone me.Siblings rule when they are alive.yet when one dies,the world only seesthe parents cry.The tears in sissy's eyesmust be dried.Someone has to serve the chickenthe macaroni salad and the pie.Not to say of cleaning up the mess after everyone says their goodbyes.Yet the beastof griefstill lies within.Crying, dying,caged, with ragejust waiting,hoping,to be let outto be held and heard. ©-Copyright December 2011 L.

Shopping with Wayfair for my Football Fan Family

To contact us Click HERE


 
Wayfair

I am proud to say that we are a family united. Together we stand. With one exception.: Football. 
When it comes to college football this FANMAT would describe our household perfectly.
 We are divided 3-3.  



When it comes to the NFL, all six of our family members have our own  favorite team. It is not easy to find everything for everyone. In fact, I  used to hate shopping for  NFL items.  Not anymore. Wayfair  makes it easy and at  reasonable prices. No longer do I have to run around all over town trying to find something a store ultimately does not carry or wants to charge me an arm and a leg for. Giving me more time to get home and watch the game. Thanks to Wayfair  ( AKA Santa Claus) my son received 
this





 NFL Jets  Throw Blanket


and this





NFL New York Jets Face Off-Hat

He is absolutely thrilled with his new hat and throw. The hat fits hims perfectly.The throw is  60x 90, extremely plush and comfortable.
I am pretty sure he would take them both to school with him if it was allowed.
 (He did take them both on a 3 day trip over winter break)
He does fall sleep with them. As you can see in this photo:






And "DD" does need his sleep. Because football can be brutal. Especially when your team doesn't make it to the playoffs. In fact out of the 6 teams we root for in this family,
only 1 team has a chance of going all the way to the Superbowl this year.
That would be MY team:)
If you are looking for some great NFL or sports  items, or pretty much anything for your household ,
I highly suggest you shop at Wayfair.
I am sure that you can find something for the numerous fans in your life.
Shopping at Wayfair. is always a WIN!

Disclosure:
I was contacted by Wayfair & 
given the opportunity to review the items of my choice.
All opinions are expressed in this review are my own.

I miss you daddy

To contact us Click HERE
Daddy was a big fan of Dolly Parton's music. However I think this version is fitting due to sad circumstances.

Four years ago today my dad left this world. He didn't  win a grammy, a golden globe ,was never featured in People magazine and never trended on twitter. People will not ask do you remember where you were the day Allen died? Which in a way is sad.
He was the greatest man I have ever known.
 I miss him each and every day.So Daddy, please give lil' sis a hug and kiss for me.
Maybe come visit me in my dreams?Until we meet again. I will always love you.
Daddy's girls are daddy's girls forever. Share

My Blog Spark - New! 2 Box Cheerios at Club Stores + Prize Pack Giveaway

To contact us Click HERE



      I'm happy to announce to you today that Cheerios now comes in a convenient 2 box packaging at Club Stores like Sam's Club, Costco, and BJ's!


" As a savvy Club member, you can recognize the value of buying Cheerios cerealt at your local Costco, Sam's Club or BJ's. While buying Cheerios at Club is already easy and affordable, new 2 box Cheerios packaging format makes Cheerios an even better purchase! You can cheer on the value by purchasing the new 2 box Cheerios packages in Club! "

Here is why buying 2 boxes of Cheerios is exciting:

• Buying 2 boxed Cheerios equals 2 individual boxes which means the boxes are easier to store and easier to pour!

•  The 2 boxed Cheerios contain 10% more cereal because the air is reduced inside each bag!

• Packaging material has been reduced by over 200,000 lbs, saving 1,000 trees, and taking 130 Cheerio trucks off the roads decreasing CO2 Emissions.

Above is the Shelf Comparison from the Old vs. the New Packaging!


    I received TWO new 2 boxes packaged Cheerios to see the new packaging! Cheerios have always been a favorite in my house! I am really happy to see that Cheerios cares about our earth by reducing packaging that isn't necessary. I have seen 2 cereals that are usually inside of a box at Club stores. I love the idea that the 2 Cheerio boxes are attached with a big sticker without coming in a box and easily pull apart for easy storage and use! I like that the box comes with two boxes to have an extra box on hand when one box runs out!



    I'm a new fan of this packaging! I'm so glad that Cheerios has come out with this new packaging to help save trees, and to reduce their delivery trucks from polluting the air!

    Visit your local Sam's Club, Costco, or BJ's today to pick up the new 2 boxed Cheerios! 

    Check out all of the benefits of the new 2 box Cheerios packaging by visiting the Cheerios 2 box website.
