We are taking the #21DayChallenge with #Listerine!
I am taking the Listerine Challenge! I am excited to see what I can learn and how I can change my habits for the better. Right now my oral care routine probably isn't what it should be. It goes something like this: As soon as I get up in the morning, I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth and then I get James out of bed for school (part of his ...

Be Helpful! #Mamavation #iHeartOmron {Week 4}
Last week was rough. The new workout routine had me so sore I didn't want to move, I was getting advice left and right and I didn't know how to process it (more on that in a minute) and my hormones were all over the place. However, I did see loss on the scale, and that was nice. Ok, so I told you I was getting advice. All of it ... Read More about Be Helpful! #Mamavation #iHeartOmron {Week 4}
Moving Comfort {#Review}
If you read my blog often, you probably know that I am working hard to lose weight. It's a slow process. Though, I've heard it's better to lose weight slowly because you are more likely to gain it back if you lose quickly. That said, I am ok with the slowness as long as I drop another 85 lbs! Working out with a good sports bra is ... Read More about Moving Comfort {#Review}
Bookboard makes reading accessible & easy! {#Contest}
When I was a kid, my sister and I would get ready for bed and then Mom would come read us a few books. Our favorite was 'The Spooky Old Tree'! After James was born, I continued the tradition. When he was small he LOVED to be read to. Now he likes to read on his own. When Colin was born, sadly, I didn't do nearly as much reading. I have gotten ...

Dinner’s made with Barber Foods!
Have you ever had one of those days - where you know what's on the meal plan but are in no mood to cook it? I have - it happens at least once a week in our house. Luckily for me, Barber Foods asked if my family and I would review a few of their products. I was sent three varieties of their stuffed chicken breasts: Kiev, Cordon ...

Be Inspiring! #Mamavation #iHeartOmron {Week 3}
I have been told, over the last week or so, that I am 'inspiring.' While it makes me feel so good to know that people think of me in that way, I want to clarify that what some might find inspiring is just accountability on my end. If I don't hold myself accountable through pictures of my food and pedometer, I am likely to slack off and ... Read More about Be Inspiring! #Mamavation #iHeartOmron {Week 3}
Easy-Peasy Popcorn {#Recipe}
I have been trying to snack healthier. It's so much harder than it seems! Sure, it's easy to snack on fruit and veggies, but I wanted something as easy as popcorn without the "extra" you get in the bag. The other day I came across this popcorn recipe on Pinterest and wanted to see if it was REALLY as easy as they claimed. IT ... Read More about Easy-Peasy Popcorn {#Recipe}
