. This is a Sponsored post by Lunchbox. I get bored making the same recipes over and over, so I recently was browsing this Kraft recipes page and fell in love with the Totchos bar recipe. It uses tater tots, chorizo and a combination of cheese to make a spicy, cheesy meal that can be customized to your liking. I love chorizo and spicy food in general so I decided to give this a try. I ran to Walmart to grab all of the ingredients I needed. The recipe calls for: 1bag (32 oz.) ORE-IDA Tater Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post on behalf of the Role Mommy Writers Network and Kmart. All opinions are 100% my own. ​​As a kid I loved getting newspaper ads or catalogs around the holidays that had pages of toys. I'd flip through the pages circling all the toys I dreamed of getting. I remember flipping past pages of clothes, household items and food to find the toy section. Kmart knows that toys are a HUGE part of holiday shopping for most families, so they create a special list of their hottest toys Read more [...]

Ryan has lost over 45 pounds since July. I've noticed that a lot of people ask him what his 'secret' was, or will say things like they wish they could do the same, etc. I was recently thinking about how so many people resolve to lose weight on new years eve and only a portion follow through.

I've always envied those people who are so prepared for the holidays that they do a little something for everyone. It warms my heart to see others giving gifts to their neighbors, mail carrier, kids teachers', etc but I often fall short myself. It's financially draining to get gifts for just family members and close friends, so finding extra money on the budget for those outside of that circle is tough. I got excited when I saw that Betty Crocker is doing a #SpreadCheer campaign because I realized Read more [...]
