This summer we have spent many days outdoors enjoying the warmer weather with family and friends. We made the long travel from Texas to California this summer to be closer to some of our family and friends who we haven't seen in a while. It's been a fun and busy summer visiting parks, having backyard barbeques and going to the beach. With all of the fun summer playtime activities, it was time for me to stock up on our summer essentials products like sunscreen, first-aid and more.

This summer the kids and I traveled from Texas to my home state, California to be with friends and family. Our summer so far has been filled with many fun summer activities and events. Being away from our home and staying with family can complicate our eating schedule since we don't have our usual foods and snacks. I also have less time to prepare meals during the days that our day is full of fun outdoors and away from home. I needed to stock up on some quick and easy summer meals or #ComidasFaciles for the kids for these busy summer days.

With summer here we've been spending more time outdoors doing fun activities. We've been doing more things out in the backyard like swimming, playing, having barbeque's or just sitting out back enjoying the warmer weather. The thought of spending my outdoor activities alongside some bugs freaks me out a little bit. I'm not a fun of creepy crawly things. And no one wants to deal with the sting of an insect bite. I found a solution to keep those insect invaders at bay! Hot Shot® Insecticides takes pride in providing homeowners with solutions that help to keep their homes free of pests.

Have you been sharing this season soccer games with anyone special? Any new soccer fans? It's been so much fun celebrating wins and even coming together with friends and family after a disappointing lose. With some of my friends and family, I've been celebrating in person with and others I've been celebrating with on social media. It's been exciting seeing everyone root for their favorite teams on social media, I feel some way involved in their love for their team and the sport. Rooting for our team and watching them cheer on their team, makes the soccer games much more enjoyable for everyone. This season has been even more enjoyable because soccer has gained two new fans in our family. We've passed on the love of the sport of soccer to our two children and I look forward to celebrating many seasons with them.

Summer is in full swing but many of us are still combating our allergy symptoms that usually arrive in the Spring and many of us aren't feeling so pretty with our big red noses, watery eyes and puffy faces, otherwise known as ALLERGY FACE®". According to a recent survey by the makers of ZYRTEC®, two-thirds (66 percent) of women with allergies have felt ugly or unattractive because of their ALLERGY FACE®. During the warm summer days and nights we all want to be outside participating in fun summer events and activities without suffering from allergies and ALLERGY FACE®.

This soccer season the kids and I will be enjoying it with our cousin and soccer player, Alyssa. She has been playing the game of soccer for several seasons now. She has passed on the love of the game to my two little one's. She's been showing them a few tips and tricks about the sport, which will be very useful in the near future when we enroll our daughter into the sport for the next season. Not only has Alyssa passed along the love of the sport but the enjoyment of snacking on Oreo cookies while watching the soccer summer games on television. Since Oreo is the Official Cookie of U.S. Soccer it's only natural to indulge in the delicious snack during such an exciting time!

Show of your beautiful skin this summer with Jergens. During the warmer months of Summer, you'll see me in short shorts and sleeve less top. It's important that I keep my skin hydrated under the intense heat of the sun. In South Texas, the summers can be very humid which is great for your skin but I still want to keep it looking luminous and smooth. I'm spending most of this summer back home in Southern California where it's not as humid and my skin is taking notice of the dry air! My skin has been so dry since I've arrived here in Los Angeles. JERGENS BB Body Skin Perfecting Cream and Shea Beauty Oil, have been a huge relief for my dry skin. With the combination of both these moisturizers my skin has been looking beautiful and radiant and feeling hydrated and soft.

How will you be celebrating the summer with all of the soccer excitement going on? We'll be outdoors enjoying the game and teaching the kids the exciting game of soccer, hoping to score a few goaaals!

We recently had a Disney Junior Birthday celebration. Maddox is a huge lover of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney Junior channel so I knew that we had to have a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse inspired party for his 3rd birthday. The fun and exciting part for me was decorating and serving up fun treats with a Mickey Mouse theme. All of the sweet treats were a big hit at the party. A party with all of your favorite Disney characters is always an awesome celebration.
