It is Wine Wednesday! You know what that means right? Time to get out there, pick a new wine and give it a try! Let me talk to you for a minute about Flip Flop Wines.  Flip Flop Wines has seven distinctive wines.  Something for everyone’s taste. We tried out a few of their wines [...]

With kids around it is almost inevitable. They will get sick. You will get sick. Running, crusty, and yucky noses are the normal for most kids and even adults. The common cold. Allergies(a BIG one in this house)! When my kids have a nasty nose the last thing they want me to do is wipe [...]

Getting your exercise in can be difficult if you are always on the go. If you travel a lot, it is almost non existent. You feel like you cant workout when you are at a hotel or at someone elses house visiting! Rubberbanditz makes it easy to workout when you are on the go. Their bands [...]

Are you green? Do you Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle? We do a bit around here. I freecycle unwanted items instead of throwing them into the landfills. We use refillable water bottles. We recycle (paper mostly since our neighborhood does not have pick up service). You do not have to be a expert to help keep [...]

Did you know….nutrition experts recommend that the average American, including adolescents, consume 25 to 30 grams of dietary fiber every day. Most of us only get half of that amount! It can be hard to fit in all the foods that are high in dietary fiber into our meals though. A few good food that [...]

Ozery Pita Break takes eating healthy to a whole new level. Who knew something some small could be so delicious! I recently had the opportunity to try their 100 calorie Whole Wheat One Buns. They do not taste like most “whole wheat 100 calorie” foods on the market. It was so tasty! I actually felt [...]

Trying to eat healthy on the go can be challenging. All those giant fast food markets are out there, screaming at you and your children with their fried foods and toys with the purchase of a meal. It can even be overwhelming for a mom to try to avoid eating out completely just to make [...]

I love coffee. It is seriously something I can not see myself ever giving up. I used to get headaches all the time and everyone swore it was the coffee. I even tried decaf. I ended up having to change my sweetener options but that’s another post. The point is, even with headaches there was [...]

Be bold, make a statement while you are out there working to get healthy!   Bondi Band- These are one of my favorite workout accessories! Bondi bands are a comfy, colorful and creative way to [...]

For me, music and working out go hand in hand. I have to have music when I workout. Sometimes listening to music when working out can be challenging because of the cords from your headphones to your music player. They can become tangled or just get completely in your way and that can throw you [...]

While in Austin at Fitcation we had the opportunity to eat at the fantastically elegant and delicious Roaring Fork. Roaring Fork went above and beyond the call of duty.

On Thursday of Fitcation,Leah and I had the opportunity to get a much needed pedicure at Maximum FX in Austin. Our first adventure was finding the place. This was not maximum’s fault of course.

We stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Austin this past weekend while attending the Mamavation Fitcation11 event. Wyndham was amazing! The rooms were clean and perfect for all of our needs. They were very accommodating to us, especially when we needed their freezer/fridge space for some of our swag that had come in. If we needed [...]
