Cute things my kid says

Oh, Adam. Lately he has been all sorts of cute. He is learning so much and I couldn't be more proud of him. Because blogging is kind of like my baby book, I wanted to post some of the cuuute things he has been saying so I don't forget them.   Everything ends with "pie". Example: "Mommy you a silly kid pie" "Lucas is a sleepy head pie" "Adam is a funny pie" He also uses his cute to … [Read more...]

Getting Through the Day With #PeetsCoffee

photo (20)

I've mentioned my love for coffee before, but I'll say it again: I love me some coffee. I am NOT a morning person, I usually hit the snooze bar 5 times or beg Adam "five more minutes" before I am able to drag myself out of bed. I *need* coffee in the morning. I just can't think of my life without my morning cup o joe. Being a creature of habit, it's not too often that I try new things … [Read more...]

Thank you to LUNA Protein for providing me a LUNA Protein sample pack to review. The opinions I've expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint As a busy mom that is on the go most of the time, I look for quick fuel ups when it comes to snacking. Unfortunately, I'm not too great at making healthy decisions, but I was recently introduced to LUNA protein bars and I … [Read more...]

Being a Smarties Ambassador as been a ton of fun! Last week I made a fun craft that incorporated Smarties and this week I was challenged to come up with a fun baked good using Smarties! I decided that I would do a confetti type of cupcake using crushed up pieces of Smarties candies. I wasn't sure how, or even if, it would turn out... I just used a boxed white cake mix and followed the … [Read more...]

Pondering Probiotics #NutritionPossible

pronutrients

I've talked a lot recently about my vitamin regime and why I take them, but one thing I am lacking is a probiotic. Having just gotten over the flu, I decided that it was time to start taking a probiotic so I can avoid getting sick again! I know that probiotics are good for regulating *ahem* you know, and I used to rely on yogort for that, but since I'm on Medifast I can no longer eat yogurt so I … [Read more...]

EHEIM Aquastyle Aquarium Review & Giveaway

I am not really a pet person, at all. I just don't have the time to commit when it comes to raising a dog or cat, or any other pet. When I was presented with the opportunity to review an Aquarium...

Medifast Update

nutrisystem blogger program

Being sick for almost two weeks really threw my diet off. I wasn't on plan while I was sick because I could hardly eat anything, which was sucktastic. This past week, I was on plan for about 99% of the time and it was great! I have gotten some questions about what exactly is Medifast? The Medifast  5 & 1 plan (the plan I'm on) is really easy to follow, you eat 6 times a day, once every … [Read more...]

Becoming the best mom I can be…

NEW NM logo-tagline

While nothing can truly prepare me for motherhood, no amount of books I read or advice I listen to, I take steps every day to become a better mom. Simple steps: taking vitamins. In the beginning, when we first saw those two little pink lines, I began a regime of prenatal vitamins. They provided key nutrients vital to a healthy pregnancy and baby. The health of my baby was extremely important, so … [Read more...]
