A Sponsored Holiday

Disclosure: I was provided with samples to give away to other moms and compensation for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.

This is truly the most wonderful time of the year with the holidays and the excitement in the air. It is also one of the most stressful times of the year for moms. From school programs, to holiday parties, to traveling plans and gift shopping. It can be exhausting.


Recently, I received a huge box on my porch full of samples for the holiday program from a sponsor. In it, I found Pirate's Booty snacks, Aquaphor diaper rash cream, Palmers stretch mark cream, Colgate toothpaste and California Walnuts. I got to give these samples away to my neighbors and mom friends at church. I know one of my friends was excited for some extra toothpaste because, somehow, they are always running out. I'm not sure how helpful these samples were at this time of year for my friends, but I hope that their kids/families were able to enjoy them and put them to good use :). The Pirate's Booty snacks are a perfect grab and go treat for my kids or to make packing their lunches a little easier. I really enjoyed getting this box of samples to enjoy and to share with my friends.

I really appreciate the Aquaphor Diaper Rash Cream. The sample tubes are the perfect size to toss in my diaper bag so I always have cream on hand for when my little girl gets a rash. She is at a stage where she wants cream put on during every diaper change, so this sample has proven to be especially handy for us. I'm glad that I will have it with me during our holiday outings. With Zinc Oxide, I know that this cream is helping her poor bum feel better whenever she has a rash.
