My Island Crab Salad Recipe using King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls.


I love King's Hawaiian Sweet Rolls!! Not only am I a huge fan of the rolls, but my 2 year old enjoys them too.  They are the perfect small hand's meal.

Today we made an easy meal I call Island Crab Salad,

The ingrediants are simple,

I chopped up about 16 oz's (2 packages of Imitation Crab Meat,
1/2 Red Onion,
3 Celery Stalks,



and, my favorite part of this recipe,
The Whole Pinepple, Cored, and Chopped into Smaller Cubes.

Add the Imitation Crab, Celery, and Red Onions into a bowl,  Along with about 1/2 Cup Of Real Mayo, Some Salt & Pepper.  And then the Pineapple cubes.  


I like mine a little sweet, so I add some of the pineapples juice to the island crab salad too.

Easiest way to serve on the Dinner rolls would be to use an IceCream scooper, and it makes the Serving Size perfect for the rolls.

Don't forget you can enter to win from King's Island Rolls by sharing your own recipes with them too, by submiting to Kings Hawaiian Ultimate Sandwich Challenge.

Create A TeeSpring.com Shirt for a Cause. Need Fundraising ideas?? Check TeeSpring out.

Teespring is a crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel.

I played around with the Create Your Tee Software and can honestly say it is easy to use, and you can also upload your own graphics to the t-shirt.  The prices are also reasonable, Depending on basic (Just text, can range from $7.00, to With your own Logo with Text up to $9.00.) Sites like Teespring make it easy to customize a T-Shirt Project, Fast, Easy, and Affordable.

Anyone can come and design a shirt which they can then sell via Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else online. The seller keeps all of the profit the shirt earns. People use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money.

Just a few ideas that come to mind,  are kids after school programs.  Communities looking to improve. Families that need help.  Really, you can design a t-shirt for anything.  Maybe your son graduates this year, and you want a Higher Education T-shirt to help with college tuition.  Or your daughter starts band, and you can't afford her instrument.  I know if someone I knew, needed something, and something as simple as a t-shirt would help spread the word, and donate to a cause, I would help.

The best part is the shirts don't print and ship until a set end date determined by the seller. This means they pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don't have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.

Pledge to drink more water this summer & enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win! #ad #hydrationmovement

Join The Hydration Movement by clicking here to pledge!

Being a first time Mom, and not wanting to deal with making overly sugary drinks I have found that buying Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water makes it easier to grab, and drink for the importance of keeping the family hydrated.  It's disheartening that 64% of children are insufficiently hydrated when they leave for school in the morning, My 2 year old will even get himself a bottle of water sometimes, because he knows it quenches your thirst.  I feel as if I am doing something right when he grabs that, and doesn't ask for things like soda, or koolaid.  We normally always have atleast 4, 24 packs of water in the house for the "Just in case," scenario.  There are also recycle places all over Columbus, Ohio here, so it's pretty easy to recycle now.


My mom's word of wisdom is to Always be prepared, because you never know where life may take you.

Don't forget to check out Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water Life On Facebook  to take the Pledge to drink more water and share your own Mom’s Wisdom story.

There is also a Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water Sweepstakes On Facebook for a chance to win the grand prize trip for four (4) to Universal Studios Hollywood or Universal Orlando Resort, or one of the 100 first prizes of a one year’s supply of Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water and receive a downloadable coupon to save $1.00 on two (2) .5-Liter or 8 oz. Multi-Packs of Nestlé® Pure Life® Purified Water (15-pack or larger).

What are some of your Mom Words Of Wisdom??

Luma Comfort Air Purifier Review & Giveaway!


Hi all! I am uber excited to share with you a giveaway for the Luma Comfort Air Purifier.  I use mine daily, and I notice a huge difference in the quality of the air in my living room, and dining room.  I don't turn my AC on, and before using this purifier, I would open my front door and complain about "the smell." My husband says I have super human scent sensory. I also have a stinky 2 year old.. so yeah, lol.  I don't even turn on my old air purifier anymore.  This one has became my new favorite.  Not only is it easy to set up,  there are also 5 stages/filters (a carbon pre-filter, HEPA filter, VOC filter, TiO2 filter and UV light) it goes through, and,captures over 99% of common airborne pollutants such as dust, dander, mold, bacteria and chemicals.


Now is your chance to enter, and win your own Luma Comfort Air Purifier!!

a Rafflecopter giveaway


I like that the Luma Comfort Air Purifier is more compact, and it has more layers for the air to be filtered. The fan I had before was knocked over by my 2 year old, and the base was broken, it's also nearly impossible to clean, I have to unscrew the back, and vacum it out. The Luma Air it's as easy as pushing buttons on the sides, and the front opens up.  The Luma Comfort Air Purifier is my favorite now.. there is no base to knock over and break!! So far I've had it almost 3 weeks, and my little one stands in front of it because the air comes out really fast, and far on the 3rd setting.  He checked it out, and it passed the Sy test. I def. recommend the Luma Air Purifier.

Couch Rebels, Because Stories Like These Aren't Told by Potatoes.. #Ad

Couch Rebels, Because Stories Like These Aren't Told by Potatoes.. I don't want to be a Potatoe! Every book purchased there is also a donation made for clean water( 1 book = 3 people with clean water.)

What’s the book all about?

Couch rebels are people who have been outside their comfort zones (whether voluntary or involuntary) and have allowed those experiences to change their lives. While the rest of society is imitating potatoes, couch rebels are learning, growing, and experiencing the incredible things life has to offer.

These moments of adventure provide us with our best stories. Nobody’s going to tell their kids about how they beat their favorite video game. But for the rest of their lives they’ll talk about the time they backpacked through India or when they fed a homeless person.
