Savory Sweet Potato And Egg Breakfast Hash

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Eggland’s Best in participation with their “Chief Egg Officer” contest.


Breakfast is said to be the meal of champions but I prefer my my morning favorites other times of the day. In fact, there are many instances in which I have turned down a big juicy steak and baked potato for a cheesy omelet. I think I’ve always been that way too. I remember diving into the box a cereal everyday after elementary school and eating a big bowl most nights for dinner when I was pregnant. The whole concept of breakfast only as a morning tradition quickly faded away. How can you blame me? Eggs, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, waffles – the list goes on – are some of the yummiest foods out there!

Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna #IC #Amaluna

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Influence Central for Cirque du Soleil. I received tickets to Amaluna to facilitate my post as well as a promotional item to thank me for participating.

In the midst of preparing for the holidays I was given the opportunity to sneak away and attend the Cirque Du Soleil: Amaluna show during its debut here in South Florida. Each year Cirque du Soleil performs a different show with a new story line. For the first time in their history, Amaluna features a cast of 70% women along with an 100% all-female band! As someone who has never attended a show quite like this I couldn’t wait to see how the music, gymnastics, story, and acrobatics fused together to create a magical performance.

Three Cheese Scalloped Cowboy Potatoes + GIVEAWAY

The information, products and Betty Crocker™ Potato gift cards were provided by Betty Crocker™ through Linqia.

‘Tis the season to satisfy your hunger with delicious holiday dishes and desserts. In my family the real celebration starts in the kitchen and makes its way to a table filled with those we care about. Whether you are cooking for friends or family, side dishes are just as important as the main course. Our menu is typically the same every year and always includes a big juicy turkey. After all, if it isn’t broke don’t fix it! My mom makes her killer sweet potato souffle and I am usually in charge of the sweets. This year I decided that I would take on the potato dish as well and add my own twist to a classic using Betty Crocker™ Potatoes.

Sparkle + Shine At The Children’s Place + $25 GC Giveaway #BigFashionLittlePrices

Disclosure: I was provided with a gift card to shop the newest trends at the Children’s PLACE. All opinions are my own!

It’s getting chilly out! Have you started shopping for your little one’s winter wardrobe? Last week I took a trip to The Children’s PLACE for a look at their new holiday trends and get a few things to add a little sparkle to Toodie’s closet. By some miracle we have had a lot of unexpected cooler weather here in Florida this month so I really needed to stock up on a few long sleeve t-shirts and skinny jeans. Tank tops, skorts, and sandals are gonna have to hit the back burner for a little while. Not that I am complaining. I would take crisp cold weather over sunshine any day!

You Are Beautiful Because You’re YOU!

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Global Influence. FeelBeautifulFor

Growing up I had my fair share of insecurities and awkward moments. Until middle school I was always the tallest child in my class, had an unruly frizzy perm accompanied by the biggest bangs you could fit on a human forehead, pale skin,  huge round glasses with thick frames, crooked pinkies (which I share with my mom and daughter), and a shy personality to hide behind. Even though most of this was the norm in the 90’s it still took a lot of time for me to embrace my beauty, goofiness and all. Today I feel beautiful because I am mother and I think we can all agree each of us has a special glow inside of us.

Save With Shell’s Fuel Reward Network + $100 Gas Gift Card #GIVEAWAY

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post in which I have been compensated. All opinions are my own.

Each day my laundry list of tasks and errands somehow grows longer and longer. It appears that when I signed up for motherhood five years ago there were a quite a few other jobs that came along with it. Just a mom? How about a chef, maid, friend, teacher, nurse, entertainer, and the ever so popular personal chauffeur. I am officially the glorified taxi driver to my five year old and will probably continue to be until she is at least 16! While I don’t mind the title, I do have to be creative when it comes to finding ways to save on the fuel that keeps the engine running. With the Shell Fuel Rewards Network program I earn rewards while pumping gas and doing things that are typical in my everyday life.

Strawberry Soda Cupcakes + Zevia GIVEAWAY #ZeviaStyle #MomsMeet

Disclosure: I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms MeetSM program, May Media Group LLC. All opinions are my own.

SODA. The one word that makes some parents cringe in fear! Packed with sugar and empty calories, it isn’t a favorite for many parents like myself. While it clearly isn’t a beverage of choice, it sure is hard to steer clear of its path.  Let’s face it, soda is EVERYWHERE these days. It’s offered at restaurants, fast food facilities, vending machines, sporting events, and even at our children’s schools. I even spotted a soda machine outside of a day care classroom last year! The constant reminder that it is available at all times makes it difficult for parents to control what their kids are consuming during snack and lunch time. This is why I have switched my focus to a “smarter” soda that gives the same bubbly satisfaction minus the artificial sweeteners and calories. Say hello to Zevia!

Back To School With Harvest Snaps + GIVEAWAY #HarvestSnapsFan

This post was created in partnership with Harvest Snaps. I have been compensated for this post. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

It’s back to school time and in the midst of the chaos we can easily get caught up in the repetitive preparation of packing the same old snacks and lunches. I don’t know about your children but mine has made it clear that she isn’t bursting at the seams in excitement when she finds a turkey sandwich in her lunchbox. Not to mention she has stopped eating the peanut butter pretzels and cheese cubes I have bored her with all Summer. Let’s face it, the same lunches can get a bit boring and bland day after day. It’s time to bring adventure, anticipation, flavor, and surprise to the lunchbox with Harvest Snaps!
