When it comes to eating out, does your family ever have conversations that go like this? "I don't want to eat there. They don't have anything I like." "She always gets to pick where we eat. You never let me pick!" I mean, I totally made up those scenarios. That never happens in our household. Ok, I might be stretching the truth a bit, but let me tell you about one restaurant that doesn't cause those type of conversations. We recently went to Fazoli's® for dinner as a part of this sponsored campaign, but let me tell you, it wasn't our first visit. In fact, one of my girls' favorite places to go when we "eat out" is Fazoli's. The even better part? My husband and I like it as much as them, which is why I’m sharing the 5 reasons our family always agrees when we declare a Fazoli's Dinner Night! Delicious Food Fazoli's is definitely … [Read more...]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BODYARMOR. All opinions are my own. My husband is definitely an athlete. He’s competed in 4 triathlons this Summer and has 2 more planned before it’s all over. My girls are definitely following in his footsteps too. While they aren’t exactly doing triathlons yet, they have turned into Junior athletes already. Last year after he came home from one of his races, he proclaimed to have found the best premium sports drink ever. We had struggled with what to give the girls’ during their Soccer games and he was so excited to have found what he thought was the best… and best tasting. Since that day, my family has definitely become a BODYARMOR family. If you open up our refrigerator, this is what you’ll see. The girls love the taste [so do I - that Orange Mango flavor!] and hubby … [Read more...]

This post is sponsored by OREO, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. We just got back from a few glorious days spent at Santa Rosa Beach on the Gulf Coast of Florida. We were only there for a couple of days but the memories we made will definitely last a lifetime. The girls were all about spending time on the beach. While there weren't a lot of seashells to be found, we searched for sand dollars and crabs! There was also plenty of sand castle building, swimming, and a fun game that my husband shared they used to play in the Philippines when he was younger. They each made a ball of sand, trying to make the strongest one, and dug out a small ramp. Each person would put their toughest sand ball at the top and would roll down the ramp at the same time. Whichever person's ball was left standing after the collision … [Read more...]

On a recent trip to Santa Fe, California, I had the amazing opportunity to experience the 2017 Mazda CX-5 and Miata MX-5 RF and saw just why Mazda tops the list of luxury car brands. A special thanks to Mazda for hosting me during this retreat and for giving me the opportunity to drive a 2017 Mazda CX5 and MX-5 RF to learn more about their brand and their cars. If you follow along any of my social media accounts like instagram, you probably know that I spent a few days in California in early June. Mazda invited me to Santa Fe to experience the 2017 CX-5 and MX-5 RF. Before I get into my experience, I must let you in on a little secret... I am in no way, shape, or form a car guru. However, I do drive a car almost daily and I've driven my fair share of different cars so let's go with that! This wasn't my first experience with Mazda. … [Read more...]
