Nescafé Momento Review

Image
I was so excited to receive my first Buzz Campaign. A friend on Facebook has blogged a few times about her Buzz Campaigns and that's how I found out about it. So, here it goes, My first review!!!! I drink coffee every morning. My hubby knows how to make me the perfect cup. But I love trying new flavors and don't mind drinking "instant" because he can make any cup of coffee taste good. When we go camping and use coffee packets similar to tea, he can make that taste delicious, so finding something ready to go and makes a flavor filled coffee drink is music to my ears!! So, I turned on my electric teapot and followed the directions on the packet. It read, use HOT water but not boiling. Ok, done! Time to drink my Nescafé Momento mocha :) It tasted really good but not what I had hoped for. It definitely didn't satisfy me. I had to make a lot of coffee after just because it just wasn't hitting the spot. The following day I tried the caramel macchiato flavor and...

AVON

At the beginning of 2013, I decided to take the opportunity and join Avon as an indepedent sales rep for extra money. Ryan and I loved the idea of me being  home with the kids and still finding time to do something I enjoy and also bring in some extra money. I looked at a lot of different companies and felt like Avon was the perfect fit for me and my family.  Well, it turns out, I was right and I love what I am doing! I thought this would be a part-time gig and it has turned into my very own business. I achieved leadership within my first 2 weeks! I have more and more customers coming to my online store everyday! It is all I think about. Everywhere I go, I think about giving someone a catalog or telling them about the opportunity Avon can give them. They really want you to succeed and they help you make it possible. It is such an empowering company and the more I get involved and indulge in learning more about the company as whole, I fall a little more in love. Not to menti...

Jane wanted to choose dessert tonight and I was totally okay with it..especially because she finished her dinner without any complaints! I asked her what she wanted to have, expecting her to say cotton candy or anything else that would have gave her a sugar high an hour before bed.  NOPE, SHE SAID A SMOOTHIE, Say What?!!  So we went to the kitchen, I let her pick all of the ingredients  and she came up with the best smoothie I have ever tasted!!   I told her I wanted to post the recipe on my blog and on Pinterest because it was that good! So here it is!

too little for too long

Haven't blogged in what feels like forever . Lots of happenings. Late August or early September, I decided to change my lifestyle by becoming Gluten Free. It was a very difficult transition but the results have been completely worth it. I still have the occasional loss of will power and take a bite of Kraft Mac and cheese or sometimes I complete forget I am eating something filled with Gluten and stop because I know I am going to pay for it later on. I will still on occasion eat pizza when it is offered but most of the time I turn it down. All in all, it is now just a way of life. The kids have even embraced it and will ask if the food we are eating has Gluten or not. Most times they are pleasantly surprised at how much they like the dish I have made. Even my most picky eater, Jane loves loves loves GF Mac and Cheese. *GF=gluten free* A little background to the decision. While most of you know, I have MS. This past spring I was hospitalized and given mass amounts of steri...
