Starting My Weightloss Journey #NSNation

I have been battling with my weight for more than a few years now. I was never the "thin" one or even "in shape". I have had to try to teach myself healthy eating habits because I was never taught them growing up. Pregnancy and breastfeeding throws me out of whack.
 
  I'm proud to be a #NSNationBlogger. Click here to start your weight loss journey!

I am excited (and nervous) to announce that I am starting my weightloss journey as a Nutrisystem #NSNation Blogger. I'm excited because I personally know quite a few people who have a had a great experience with this program. I'm nervous because I am going to have to teach myself and schedule all my meals, water, intake, and exercise until it becomes habit (because it wasn't before).
 
Below are some pictures that I want to share with all of you, so you can see where I'm starting from and hold myself accountable. These are embarrassing, but they are real.

Two Rivers Coffee Review

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.
 
I LOVE coffee. Which is an extreme understatement. So when I received the opportunity to work with Two Rivers Coffee on a review, I was very excited.
 

I recently was sent the Two Rivers Mega Coffee for Keurig K-Cup Brewers to review. Not only is this coffee tasty (what I have tried so far), this coffee is also simply cool.

Make Traveling Educational with the LeapFrog Word Whammer

I received complimentary products as a #LeapFrogMom. All opinions are my own.

I know that I have mentioned how I am now a LeapFrog Mom Ambassador. I am so excited to be an ambassador for this brand because I have been a HUGE fan for YEARS. As part of the LeapFrog Mom Squad, we received a ton of awesome goodies, including the LeapPad Platinum and Imagicards. But the first thing my daughter went for was the Word Whammer. You can check out my unboxing video on YouTube.


The LeapFrog Word Whammer is a great way to bump an up and coming kindergartener's letter skills up. With 3 action-packed games and 5 learning levels that adapt as children play, the Word Whammer toy gets kids jamming on phonics skills as they spin, push and twist the handles to identify and build words.
