This week I realized for the first time how Nutrisystem has changed the way I eat and to a certain extent think. The first time I realized this was at a BBQ I went to this weekend. Before I started my diet, I would have not only eaten a big meal at the BBQ, I would have also had a big dinner later on in the night. I now realize that their needs to be a balance, so I was able to enjoy my food at the party, but then eat a small ...

Summer on the East Coast: Virginia Beach!
My hubby and I decided that this year we were going to take a few trips on the east coast. We both agree that travelling on a plane with a toddler may not be the most relaxing vacation - even though being a few hundred miles away from home in a hot car probably isn't the answer either.We research Virginia Beach and came up with ten reason why we would love to visit - maybe they are reasons why you would want to visit Virginia Beach too!1. It's ...
Nutrisystem Week 8 #NSNation
Warning: What you are about to read may disturb you if you are trying to lose weight. The following are factual accounts of my past week on (kinda) Nutrisystem.This entire week I was very strict about what I ate and stuck with Nutrisystem only foods. I was very disappointed in my results last week so I knew that only I could fix the situation and make it better. I did very well, up until Sunday - when I asked hubby to pick me up some Starbucks. ...
Baby Bedding Zone Review and Giveaway!
From the moment I found out I was pregnant, images of what my baby's nursery would come to mind. Being that we live in a 2-bedroom with no prospect of moving anytime soon, I knew that the nursery needed to be neutral colors. FYI - neutral does NOT mean drab! We went with blue, green, and yellow colors throughout the room with "The Cow Jumped over the Moon" theme. It was fun and playful - without any real gender specific colors sticking out. After ...
Gourmet Gift Baskets Review and Giveaway
When I give gifts, I like to give something personalized that I know the receiver will love. I try not to be a "generic" gift giver, but sometimes it is difficult to pick out a gift for someone. I usually like purchasing a lot of little things and wrapping them up in a basket to create a gift that has many surprises. This is very time consuming and doesn't always work out as I plan, but it is worth it when the gift comes together. I love looking ...

Straight Talk benefits
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Straight Talk for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. I have been on a cell phone contract for YEARS. When I first got a cell phone, I was looking into no-contract obligation and just recently I told my hubby that maybe we should rethink being on a contract once this one expires. What is the point of a contract anyway? So many cell phone companies operate without one and it seems to work ...
Sushi Samba Chopsticks for Kids – review
When my hubby and I met, I had gone on a sushi binge and loved to have it for lunch or dinner. He came along with me and many of our dates took place in Japanese restaurants. I was the first to introduce him to Japanese food and even teach him how to use chopsticks. When I was learning how to use chopsticks - I looked at diagrams, had various people show me how to use them and still nothing! I had no idea how to manipulate the sticks in my hands ...
