Thank you to Huggies for sponsoring today’s post and inspiring me to try Huggies Wipes at Walmart.  All opinions are my own.

Because Kids Outgrow Diapers, Not Messes, wipes are a necessity with children.  Notice the word children- not only babies but children of all ages use wipes.  With babies, Huggies wipes are great because they are gentle and clean a baby’s skin with triple clean layers technology.  But that strong triple clean technology is also useful when your little one is a bit bigger.  Case in point- clean up time.  It is always a good idea to have some Huggies wipes within reach during paint or clay time.  To keep those little plops and drops from turning into mop and bucket messes.  The wipes themselves are great because they are moist and sensitive, but easy to grab and wipe stuff down with.  This is not an “end all” way to clean everything but it is a good first step to keep little messes little.  They are also great for on the go- I can’t tell you how many times I have used them in the car, such a lifesaver.

The moment has finally arrived! After months of careful planning, you think you’ve found the ideal spot for first class cabin wilderness living. As your family reunion, honeymoon get-away or annual vacation time approaches, you’re still not sure of what you will find when you get to that much dreamed about destination spot.

Having surfed the online web sites offering magnificent cabin lodgings for that special trip of yours, how can you be sure everything is as advertised online? Well, you can’t really, but let us set the stage for you by giving some helpful tips to make that cabin excursion a wonderful experience to last a last time.

– Don’t settle for just one or two cabin sites. The Internet is full of travel destination spots, especially those offering beautifully photographed cabin accommodations. However, if the truth be known, not all hold up off a web page.

Fortunately, some sites such as the cabins in Broken Bow Ouachita and Kiamichi Mountain Wilderness in southeastern Oklahoma, stand up to their excellent reputation and can back up what their web site offers.

Childhood cancer has got to be one of the saddest things in the world.  Any disease that strikes a child down or makes them suffer in their youth deserves to be eradicated.  Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) needs your support during Alex’s Lemonade Days, an annual 3-day fundraiser where supporters from coast to coast hold lemonade stands to raise funds for childhood cancer research.

Lemonade Days is held each year during the second weekend of June – the time of year when Alex always held her lemonade stand – to honor Alex and all of our childhood cancer heroes.  At this time, you too can join in this cause and support this worthy cause.  Help kids and their families who are dealing with cancer, and help kids in the future to never need to deal with these diseases.

Since Alex’s first front yard lemonade stand, there have been more than 20,000 ALSF lemonade stands held across the country and world. Alex’s Lemonade Stands make a meaningful difference at any time of the year, however Lemonade Days is a time when supporters join forces and hold stands simultaneously to be a part of our largest annual fundraiser. In the spirit of Alex’s ambitious goal to raise $1 million, which she reached before she passed away in 2004, Lemonade Days weekend consistently raises $1 million annually.
