Catch a moment of Mango Mandarin Bliss

**Contest Closed**

My friends at MomSelect and Suave Body Care sent me a full-size bottle of Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash to try out. From the minute I flipped open the lid and took a sniff I knew I would love it. The rich, fruity scent is so yummy and honestly just as good as the high-end boutique products. If you are a frugal mom like me then you would see the value in this great bath product. The average cost of a 12 ounce bottle in under $3 so why would anyone want to pay $10 for practically the same thing?! Even better you can go here to sign up for a 50 cents off coupon that you can print directly from your computer. The great thing is you can use it in some stores that offer double coupons for even more savings! Now you can feel like you are indulging for a low cost. This body wash is a great way to start your morning, especially with the crisp citrus scent. I don't know about you but my shower time is the time I take for myself and I love having nice fragrances to make the experience blissful.

Not only was I provided with a bottle of Suave Naturals Mango Mandarin Body Wash for myself, but I also received one to give away to one lucky reader! As a bonus, Momfiles will throw in a bath sponge as well.

All you have to do it leave a comment telling us what fragrance you currently use from the Suave Body Care line or which new one you would like to try.

Tardiness troubles me

I am a stickler for being on time. I don't think there are more than a few instances that I have actually been late (with good reason). Even being 1 minute over the time I am supposed to be somewhere puts me in that "late" category. That would bother me. I take time to prepare myself even for the smallest event to ensure that I am at least 5-10 minutes early. I am the example to my children so I have pounded into them the importance of being on time. They know that being late is a sign of disrespect and shows others that you do not care to be there. The girls are very diligent about preparing for the next day and their nerves go awry at the thought of being late. Punctual parents make punctual kids. I know some people, actually a lot of people who almost brag about how late they are running on a daily basis. If you know you have some place to be at a specific time (well in advance) then what is the excuse? Our kids watch us closely...

Our new favorite sauce

Dwayne is going to be so mad at me since I am giving this company free advertising but I just had to share! This new Frank's RedHot Sweet Chili sauce is the best thing I have tasted in a long time. If you love sweet and a little heat at the same time then this is for YOU!! I have purchased 2 bottles in one week. This stuff goes great on anything from chicken, fish, chops and most any dippable food and savory things. I got it at Kroger for $2.89 and had a 50 cents off coupon that doubled to a dollar off so it was not too bad. I can't wait for this stuff to go on sale so I can stock up! The Sunday paper frequently has coupons for this bottle of amazingness. Now run out and get you some and tell me what you think!! :)

From youngest mom to oldest?

I was thinking about my children (which is nothing unusual) and how when the girls were little I was one of the youngest moms of the bunch. Most moms has already hit their mid 30's and even 40's. I did not fit in at all. Funny thing is with William, I will be one of the "older" moms. How crazy is that? I wonder if it will be the same just that I will be older this time around?! I just can't win :/

What makes me want to clean

If you know me personally or check out my status updates on Facebook you might have learned that I clean a lot. Of course my house still looks pretty much destroyed most of the time thanks to my sweet little Hurricane Willie. Some days are harder than others to get household tasks complete. One great way to get me in the mood to clean is new cleaning products. I can't explain the joy I get from that. I know, I'm insane. Just the right scent can totally get me going and I love trying new products as well. Over the course of the morning I have cleaned 2 bathrooms out of 3, swept floors and mopped, cleaned my office, folded and packed away laundry, cleaned the kitchen and have my dinner fully prepped for this evening. It all started with a new bottle of bathroom cleaner and spiraled out of control! At least I can be lazy for the rest of the day :)

What gets you in the cleaning mood?
