Do you struggle to find a healthy snack option for busy mornings or when on the go?  Whether missing lunch at work, heading to a kids' sporting event, or whatever else takes up the minutes of your day, it seems like everyone struggles with finding that snack that will hit the spot and offer a little substance.  It's just so easy to grab a bag of chips or candy bar but every time I do, I tend to regret it. Sending a big thank you to Wild Zora for sending us some yummy bars for review! We've Read more [...]

I was sent a Nolah mattress for review. All opinions are my own. Back in October I shared my Nolah Mattress Review. I discussed my first impressions of the mattress but I hadn't owned it very long. I said I would update my review after a while so that I could give a more thorough review. In the past I have purchased furniture that starts off comfortable but diminishes in comfort, firmness or just shape in general after just a month or two. I have had the mattress for just under 120 days Read more [...]

Thank you to Nutrisystem for providing me with products in exchange for this honest blog review. All opinions are 100% my own. For the last three weeks, my weight loss has been stagnant. I thought it was due to the two weeks I was ill; however, now I am wondering if I have hit a plateau. Today I decided to go back to the basics to make sure I am following the Nutrisystem Uniquely Yours plan to a tee. Food Journaling- I will be journaling all of my food intake with the Nutrisystem NuMi app. Read more [...]

Thank you to Adorology for providing me with product in exchange for my honest opinion. After recently discovering the new style of stretchy multi-use baby car seat covers, I went in search of one for our 13 month old daughter. She's on the petite side so we still use the carrier style car seat. It is cold here right now and I was struggling to find a solution to keep her out of the wind and cold. The bunting style cover that just went over the seat part of the carseat worked last winter when Read more [...]

My world has been filled with baby gear during the past eleven years throughout the additions of our five children, however, there has been something on my wish list every time that we just never got around to purchasing.... a jogging stroller.  I've felt the need for a jogging stroller grow more with each child though because I'd love to hit the local trails in the summer with our kids and be able to roller blade as they bike.  We also live on a gravel road that normal strollers just can't conquer Read more [...]

I was sent a YUNMAI smart scale to review. There are affiliate links in this post. All opinions are my own. In the past year and a half or so, Ryan has lost a little over 60 pounds. I've lost about 20 myself. At the beginning of his weight loss journey Ryan read that you should weigh in about once a week. The reason for this being that it's normal to fluctuate a little bit from one day to the next, and this isn't necessarily a true loss or a gain. We've never been very good at weighing only Read more [...]

I am a Nutrisystem blogger. I am provided with a meal plan in exchange for updating about my journey. All opinions are my own. For this week's Nutrisystem update I thought I would share how many ways there are to track weight loss, health or diet progress. Ryan's main goal is to get healthier. When he first started Nutrisystem it was to lose weight. However, now that he's lost over 60 pounds that has shifted a little bit. He is much happier with his appearance now than he was in the past. He's Read more [...]
