Ethically Sourced Coffees & Baked Goods I just love doing business with companies that care and BJ's Wholesale Club is one of those companies that really considers where their products come from. In many developing countries, farmers and workers are not receiving an equitable or fare wage for their goods. Through the Merchandising Environmental Stewardship Program, BJ’s ensures that in developing countries, farmers and producers are paid a fair wage for their goods. BJ's Wholesale Club took it a step further to specify that all sugar in their baked goods comes from Belize. Why get sugar from Belize? Sugar is Belize’s fourth largest export and about 10% of the total population is...

Healthy Halloween Tips
My kids are SO Excited for Saturday. Our neighborhood is so much fun to trick or treat in. The streets are just full of families going from house to house just having a great time. My husband sits on the porch and hands out candy while I take the girls around the neighborhood collecting their goodies. It's usually cold so I bundle up with a warm cup of coffee while my kids fight me about putting warm clothes over or under their costumes. I am beginning to wonder if all the energy and excitement of the night warms them up and perhaps they aren't really as cold as I am! Of course they want to eat candy while we are trick or treating. Whether they are hungry or not, they would eat...

How Our Dog Max Found My Husband’s Cancer #PedigreeGives
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #PedigreeGives #CollectiveBias My husband did all but beg me for a dog for years. I was in no way ready to take care of a third child, because to me that's what we'd be adding to the family. And since he worked outside of the house, and the girls are in school, I'd be the one taking care of it. I just didn't know if I wanted to do that. Then my youngest daughter went to school all day in first grade, and the house was very quiet. It was as quiet as I had wished for it to be for years, and it was too quiet. After a lot of thought and soul-searching, I finally sat down to talk to my...

4 Ways to Stay Healthy during Cold & Flu Season
Cold & Flu season is in full swing. Everyone in my family has been hit with a cold and we are just hoping to be able to avoid the flu. There have been a few cases in our area of flu and every one is getting a flu shot. The cold weather is hard enough, but to be sick on top of it makes it even harder to stay healthy during cold & flu season. I was sick for 2 weeks with an awful cold that wouldn't go away. I'd start to feel better and then WHAM I didn't feel good again. Part of the problem is, as a mom it's hard to get the rest you need when you are sick. I'm on the go all the time. But I had to just toss in the towel and rest for a few days or I wasn't ever going to get...

McDonald’s New All Day Breakfast Launch & Giveaway #AllDayBreakfast
I'm not a big "breakfast out" kind of person. I like to have my coffee when I first wake up with something sweet rather than get ready to leave the house to eat breakfast. It takes too long and I just don't function well without my coffee. So I miss out on the yummy breakfast foods that we can get first thing in the morning at a restaurant. Besides the fact that I'm too busy to sit down and eat out somewhere. It just doesn't happen. And McDonald's has one of my favorite guilty pleasure breakfast sandwiches - Sausage McMuffin with Egg. It's the best breakfast sandwich out there, in my opinion! Love them. But by the time I make it out the door to even grab one, breakfast is over....
