If you have children under the age of 12, I would highly suggest looking into LegoLand. Our kids are 7, 4 and 2, and this was honestly a perfect time to bring them. There was obviously plenty for the 7 year old to do, but surprisingly there was a lot for the 2 year old as well. We went in July, mid summer, and it really wasn't as crowded as I was expecting it to be. We did go on a Monday (not a weekend) so this helped some I'm sure. What to Do There's just about something for everyone at LegoLand whether you're 2 or 92.
How to Save
Overall, we had an amazing time at LegoLand Florida. I would highly recommend this park to anyone with kids, and going in the summer was a great time for us.

*I received a product in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. If you are looking for a product to help in your battle with chronic Lyme disease, I'd like to share with you about my experience with Results RNA Ultimate Lyme Support. Chances are, if you're anything like me, you are researching and trying to find the best approach to battle this debilitating disease. I decided from the start that I wanted to fight naturally without the use of antibiotics because of the gut damage and bacterial resistance it can cause. So basically, I've been using herbs and now have added in Results RNA products. Once I added in the sprays, I really did start to notice an improvement for the good. Any form of treatment will take time, but I really think this gave me a boost that my body needed. The sprays are really easy to take, you just spray 6 sprays in your mouth twice a day. The Silver (ACS200) works as a natural antibiotic against Lyme and other co-infections (that I'm pretty sure I have as well). All of the sprays work synergistically to optimize your body's natural immune response to help build you up and fight off the pathogens. It also helps to decrease inflammation and neutralize oxidative stress. Since I started treatment in January, I have gone from 32 symptoms to 6, so that right there is proof that natural treatments can work. I'm still working on those last 6 symptoms, and hope to be in remission soon. I really think Results RNA is helping boost my immune system to get me there along with the herbs, and I would really recommend them to anyone battling Lyme Disease.
I plan to continue using Results RNA beyond the initial 2 month supply because of the positive changes I've seen. I will update this post in a few months on my continued progress, so continue to check back! **I was provided services in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. We just had our carpets cleaned with Zerorez and were so impressed with their services. David was polite, arrived on time, and worked hard from start to finish. Our carpets were in pretty bad shape with stains and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. With young kids, we try to avoid using chemicals whenever possible, which is what made me decide on using Zerorez. They use a counter rotating brush to get what vacuums leave behind. Then they use "Empowered Water" which is softened water run through a generator that changes the molecules. It leaves ZERO residue behind, because they are not using soaps and chemicals, so the whole process is safe for kids and pets. This also helps it to stay cleaner longer, because the residue left by other companies leads to more stains and dirty carpet later. They also use a patented cleaning wand so as not to "flood" your carpets. This allows for much faster drying times. The rooms are totally dry within a few hours. We got all the carpets cleaned, and he was done within an hour and a half. By the time he finished, the first room was almost dry. We had our carpets cleaned professionally before, but they didn't come anywhere near this clean. I was so excited with how these OLD stains were coming out, and WITHOUT chemicals! Some say water alone cannot remove stains/clean carpet, but just check out our before and after pictures. They tell a different story. I will definitely be using Zerorez from now on. No need to flood carpets and get unnecessary chemicals doused on them. This is the cleanest, most kid safe way to go. Give them a call at (813)345-4178 or fill out their contact form here to get your carpet cleaning scheduled. Trust me, you won't regret it!
We have had a lot of junk laying around our yard for quite a while that we needed to get rid of but didn't know where to take it. That's when I came across the company JDog Junk Removal & Hauling in Tampa. Steve came and in no time had loaded up all our "junk" and hauled it away. Who knew it could be so simple! He arrived on time, was hard working, friendly and extremely professional. They seek to hire Veterans and Veteran family members and they strive for their work to reflect respect, integrity and trust. They are also insured and reasonable priced. I was very impressed with this company. Do you have "junk" just laying around that you need to get rid of? If so, JDog Junk Removal & Hauling is a simple, fast and easy way to get rid of it all. Go to their website and enter your zip code to see if they're in your area, and schedule a pick up!
*I received a product in exchange for my review, but all opinions are my own. I have been wanting to try a weighted blanket for a while now, as I struggle with anxiety and insomnia. I got my Magic Weighted Blanket in the mail the other day, and immediately had to try it out. It was so relaxing to sit with it on while I read a book. But what surprised me the most was when I slept with it. I don't think I've slept that soundly in a long time. Usually I have mild anxiety in the evening when I'm trying to go to sleep, but I drifted off to sleep faster than ever. The Chenille is so soft and the weight of the blanket really does ease my anxiety somehow. It's also great for kids that struggle with anxiety or sleep issues. My 4 and 7 year old have been loving to come climb up in bed with me and "snuggle" with my blanket. I got the 42 x 72 so it's perfect for my half of the bed. (Think my husband is jealous and wishes it was larger) haha. The offer different fabric choices including soft chenille (which I LOVE!) minky, cotton, flannel and fleece. It is seriously the softest blanket ever. It does get warm, but we like to crank up the AC at night anyway, so I don't see that being a problem. The Magic Blanket has been featured in Forbes and many other articles. After doing some research, there are studies on why these weighted blankets actually help. The pressure and weight of the blanket molds to your body and helps relax the nervous system. It's similar to how swaddling a baby gives them comfort and promotes sleep.
I have been so impressed with the quality and effectiveness of the The Magic Blanket, I highly recommend giving one a try. About this time every year, we start to have a big problem with mosquitos. And when you have young kids who want to play outside all the time, you know it's time to find a solution. We had Mosquito Hunters of Tampa Bay come out and spray our yard, and wow - it has made such a difference in the amount of mosquitos we have. The kids can actually go out and play and ride their bikes and not come in covered in bites. In the past, we have used products to spray our yard, but none have worked as effectively as Mosquito Hunters. The nice thing is, you schedule them to come spray, and that's all you have to do. You don't even have to be home. Simply leave your gate opened so they can spray the back as well, and you're set. The treatments are guaranteed for 21 days, so you can schedule them to come every 21 days to keep things under control. It is so worth it to know disease carrying mosquitos won't be ruining your outdoor fun. Brandon, who came out to spray, was extremely polite and friendly and they got the whole yard done in under 20 minutes. The products they use to spray are derived from plants, so they do not harm your plants. You and your pets should stay inside for 30 minutes, but then it's completely safe to go out once it's dry. They have the best customer service of any other mosquito spraying company I've found. They will come out and re-treat in between your 21 day treatments if you are unhappy for any reason. No other company offers that. They offer services in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties.
From now until the end of March, you can sign up for the Early Bird Promotion: get 8 treatments for just $468. Customers who switch from local competitors (Mosquito Squad and Mosquito Joe) save on average over $400 a year! You can purchase now and start treatments whenever you'd like. There are also low price monthly options available. Check out Mosquito Hunters here or give them a call at 1-813-609-8440 to "take back your yard"! *I was provided a sample free of charge, but all opinions are my own. **This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. NuLeaf Naturals provides high grade organic full spectrum CBD oil. They have 6 different sizes (see below) and strengths to fit your personal need. The best part - since it does not contain THC, it is legal in all 50 states. I tried the 240 mg CBD oil. It has somewhat of an herbal/earthy taste, but not unpleasant. I could honestly feel my symptoms lessen within 20 minutes of taking it. With Lyme disease, I have constant muscle spasms, cramps, joint pain and stiffness, headaches, anxiety and insomnia. This oil is helping with all of these symptoms. I cannot recommend CBD oil high enough, and if you do try it you will find it's important to get it from a high quality/reputable site. There are definitely brands out there that are not of this quality. The company was founded in 2014 and NuLeaf Naturals wellness products are derived from specially bred therapeutic hemp (Cannabis Sativa) plants grown on licensed farms in Colorado, USA. I love how all their products are lab tested, organic and have no additives, so you know the quality you are getting is good.
Some people complain they don't like the taste of CBD oil, but I don't find it bad. It's more of an earthy taste. I place the drops under my tongue for faster absorption. The taste is really not bad to me. While the dosage can vary depending on the person, I started with 5 drops 2 times a day (5 in the morning and 5 at night before bed), and that has seemed to be the perfect amount for me. However it is advised to start slow to see how you personally react. Some people it seems to knock them out and others it gives them energy. It doesn't really do either of those to me, just mostly takes pain away (which was the goal!). I highly recommend this brand, and if you want to give it a try, check them out here.

I'd love to hear in the comments below! **I received this product in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. I am so excited about these probiotics I received a month ago in exchange for my review. LoveBug Probiotics sent me 3 full sized bottles of Probiotics to try out - and so far I am super impressed with the quality! The Influencer Box I received came with "Here's the Skinny", "Colds Suck", and "Yeast is a Beast". I have been taking "Colds Suck"this past month, because, well, my kids have had lots of colds lately and I'm trying to keep myself healthy so I can take care of them. So far, I have managed to stay healthy even after direct exposure to multiple colds and even a stomach bug! I really and truly believe in the power of Probiotics and how they can help heal gut issues and boost the immune system. I have been giving probiotics to my kids for a couple years now, and while they still get colds occasionally (who doesn't!) they aren't as severe and their allergies have improved drastically. I love how LoveBug Probiotics come in glass bottles. The pills are easy to swallow and come packaged nicely. Also, they are 15 times more effective than capsules. I would highly recommend this brand to anyone searching for a good probiotic to add to their daily regimen. I look forward to trying "Here's the Skinny" next!
**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links. I have officially found my new favorite low carb protein powder - Quest Protein Powder Chocolate Milkshake Flavor! I have not tried other flavors, but after trying this one I don't think I ever will! It is amazing! It dissolves so well you don't even need a blender, there is no grit, the flavor is amazing, and it's so easy to make. I always am looking for an easy breakfast idea, so now I either make a protein shake, or add a scoop to my bulletproof coffee for a "Mocha-like" drink. So far the best price appears to be on Amazon - I buy mine here. Has anyone else tried this powder? Do you like it? How are the other flavors?

Need a quick, creative dinner idea for you little ones? Try these easy, fun and delicious Deer Rice Bowls using Gwaltney Hotdogs!
My kids love to help make dinner, which sometimes makes things more stressful at dinner time, but with these fun rice bowls, kids can help "decorate" their deer and get involved with the food preparation process. With the hectic schedules as kids are back in school, we love things that are quick to make and fun to eat. And as a plus, this is something the whole family will love. These Gwaltney Hotdogs are also great for kids with allergies. Mine are allergic to milk, eggs, beef, wheat and peanuts, so finding meals they like can be challenging. Gwaltney hotdogs, however, are perfect because they're made from chicken and don't contain any of their other allergens! You can also get creative with these hotdog deer bowls. You can use corn, peas, grape tomatoes, or any other small vegetable or bean for the eyes and nose.
Directions:
Fill bowls with white or brown rice. Use black beans for the eyes and nose. Take 1 hot dog and cut in half. Cut slits in the ends 3/4 of the way down to make the antlers. Add a side of ketchup for dipping.
Gwaltney products are a great protein option and an awesome value for the price. They have 40% less fat than regular hotdogs since they're made from chicken, but they still have the same great hotdog taste.
Gwaltney has many other products as well, including Mini Corn Dogs that are amazing, and their Sausage is delicious! Gwaltney Breakfast Sausage has an old-fashioned mild flavor with just the right amount of spices, great for breakfast or any time of day. Gwaltney Mini Corn Dogs are batter wrapped chicken mini franks with a honey flavor. These would make for more quick and easy dinner recipes as well! Need more recipe inspiration?
