Did you know that February is Children’s Dental Health Month?  As a child, I didn't really see the importance of taking great care of my teeth but now that I'm an adult, I'm so thankful that I was a pretty regular brusher.  I have a brother who was terrible at taking care of his teeth and gums and he's had to have a lot of dental work done because of that.  So as kids are growing, it's easier to incorporate healthy habits now so that they can enjoy a healthy mouth, teeth, and gums as they get Read more [...]

Do car seats confuse and even scare you a little?  It seems like the rules are constantly changing, each seat and brand has their own expiration time line, and laws are different depending on the state!  Truth be told, it is hard to keep up and you're not alone in feeling this way.  According to a recent study, 54% of parents feel that car seat safety industry standards are confusing.  So Graco is stepping up and trying to help with their new TrueShield Technology which provides children with Read more [...]

I partnered with Nutrisystem on this post and was compensated. All opinions are my own. My boyfriend Ryan decided he was ready to work on losing weight in July of 2015. Since then he has lost just over 60 pounds! The change in him is so dramatic. Even though it's been about a year and a half now, I am still amazed at his change. I look back at photos of him before his weight loss and it's incredible that it's the same person that he is now. He lost the weight thanks to Nutrisystem. Nutrisystem Read more [...]

I have always loved spending time baking, cooking, and creating in the kitchen.  From a young age, it always drew me in and my mom would constantly turn to me to deliver a delicious dessert for whatever upcoming gathering, meeting, or event they had coming up.  But I know that not everyone loves to cook or bake.  My sister is one.  She feels like she is incapable but I think that in a case like hers, she just needs some help and a really great set of cookbooks to boost her confidence.  I still Read more [...]

When finally taking a break from every day life and heading off on a vacation, no matter how long, it's nice to experience extra things you wouldn't typically encounter.  During our visit to the Radisson Blu Mall of America, both my husband and myself splurged on a massage from their on-site spa, Solimar Spa.  It was absolutely amazing and such a fun way to each take a little me time.  But the great part about this mini-vacation is the fact that it can accommodate so many different options, including Read more [...]

Over the years, I've become more and more aware of the products I keep in our home and the food that we eat.  That's not to say that we don't have treats, desserts, and goodies, because we most certainly do.  However, I strive to really offer healthier choices for a more daily consumption and try to keep those other choices for special occasions and holidays.  But when I find a product that works great for every day as well as a holiday such as Valentine's Day, I'm even more excited. Sending Read more [...]

Thank you to Wonderful Halos for sending a Wonderful Halos Valentine's Day Gift Box for review. All opinions are my own. My family tried Wonderful Halos mandarins for the first time in January of this year when we were looking for some sweet, healthy, easy snacks. All three of us are still enjoying Halos. I am still taking them to work in my lunchbox every day. My husband and daughter snack on them in the evenings after getting home from work and daycare. I eagerly agreed to partner with Wonderful Read more [...]
