This post brought to you by Triad Retail Media. All opinions are 100% mine.
There is just something about walking into a wonderfully smelling home. Aromatherapy has taught us that different fragrances can enhance our mood and help us relax. Scents can also trigger memories. Is it any wonder why people love filling their homes with beautiful scents? They can really make a house feel like a home.
If you love trying new scents you will really want to check out the new Glade® Expressions™ fragrance mist varieties! The Fragrance Mist is a stylish way to have a long lasting spray available any time. The artful design will fit with any decor. It is also easy to use and refillable.
The new Glade® Expressions™ oil diffuser is great for those of us that don’t have time to mess with anything since it will last for 30 days and does not need any electricity.

Yoplait Lactose Free Yogurt
Posted by Melissa Erickson on March 4th, 2012
Do you have someone in your life that is lactose intolerant? It is an on going battle in our home because while my kids love dairy, it does not love them! They developed it in the last few years and it has definitely changed our lives. Most parents have to force their kids to drink milk but mine would beg for it. Yogurt has always been in my fridge and my freezer. We live in Wisconsin so cheese is everywhere!
Friends With Kids
Posted by Melissa Erickson on February 29th, 2012
I can not wait until this movie comes out! As soon as I heard about it I knew that I would love it. Friends With Kids brings the Bridesmaids cast back together for another great comedy, but this time kids are thrown into the mix. Anyone that has kids knows how much your life changes once they arrive. Many new parents do not realize how much their friendships will change though.
Friends With Kids follows the lives of a close-knit group of New York couples and their two single friends. As everyone else’s lives are getting consumed by children, the single friends are getting older and are still not married. They see how crazy everyone’s lives have become with marriage and children involved so they decide to have a child together and still date other people. They both start dating other people and life looks good, but life does not always go according to plans and their perfect arrangement starts to go wrong.
This cast was hilarious in Bridesmaids and it looks like they really did it again!
Friends With Kids stars Adam Scott (“Parks and Recreation”), Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Chris O’Dowd, Megan Fox and Edward Burns.
Written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein).
Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions will release Friends With Kids on March 9, 2012.
