Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dove. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Has anyone tried out the new Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant from Dove? It provides 48-hour protection and offers soft, smooth underarms. I'll be sampling it this week so I'll be sure to let you all know about my experience. I've been using the same stuff for as long as I can remember so it will be fun to try something new. With the weather getting warmer and me making all kinds of exercise goals, (yep, I am!) I just might need something a little more powerful. Ha!

Beef Enchiladas

Today my mom is sharing her photo and recipe with us for Beef Enchiladas. Yum!




I am honored to have my mother-in-laws recipe for beef enchiladas. This is my husband's favorite food.








Mary's Beef Enchiladas

Filling:
3 pounds ground beef
1 sweet yellow onion
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

Brown meat and chopped onion in large skillet and season to taste.

Sauce: 
1/4 cup oil
4 TB flour
16 oz tomato sauce
2 cups water
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

20 flour tortillas
1 1/2 pounds grated cheddar cheese

In a large saucepan, heat oil. Then stir in flour and whisk till light brown. Add tomato sauce, water, and seasonings and simmer until it thickens slightly. Add more water as needed. Turn off heat on meat and sauce and let sit until to cool enough to handle. Pour a small amount of sauce on a cookie sheet and dampen flour tortilla on both sides. Put a large spoon of meat on center of tortilla and sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese. Roll and put in baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas, placing them close together so that they're touching. You will probably need two 13x9 dishes. Pour any remaining sauce on top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake at 350ยบ for 30 minutes.

Keeping Germs Under Control on Family Play Days #PurellWipes #ad #cbias

Now that the weather is nice, our family is spending a lot more time outside. We love to go to the park, friends' houses, and explore lots of local historical sites. It's hard to be spontaneous with this big group, but I try not to get overly-obsessive about planning. Sometimes though, it's the little things that will make or break a fun day---and dirt is a big one for me. Today we spent some time at a friend's house in the country and, since I knew the little ones would be outside, I brought along these PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes

For me, there's nothing grosser than kids getting filthy outside and then sitting down to eat a picnic lunch or have a handful of chips. On the other hand, when they're playing outside and getting muddy, I don't want them walking through the house over and over to wash up. (I'm sounding a little OCD here, aren't I?) Having the container of wipes out saves clean floors from getting dirty and germophobe moms from freaking out at lunch time.

Another place I like to take the PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes is out on our field trips around the area. This may look like a regular ol' group of clean and pristine children---but what you don't know is...

Just a short time before this photo, they'd discovered a fire pit down an old trail and came back up looking like Peter Pan's Lost Boys. A container of wipes in my bag takes care of the problem fast so I can continue to get adorable pictures of them enjoying the summer sunshine!

PURELL® Hand Sanitizing Wipes are a new product that can be found in the household cleaning section of most Walmart stores. They come scented or fragrance-free in 70-count and 35-count containers and are convenient for home, work, or in the car for messy adventures.

It's really nice to be able to pass around the container of wipes for a quick clean up they can do themselves. Formulated to remove dirt and kill illness-causing germs on the hands and face, they're perfect for those times when both cleaning and sanitizing hands is needed.
