Slimming Down for our Beach Vacation and Swimsuit Season

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Slimfast, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #14daystoslim  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

This month sure has been the busiest so far this year. Every weekend booked, countless deadlines to meet, and family-time made. With all the hectic things going on, I started sacrificing some of my ‘me time’. My biggest regret lately: leaving out my 30 minute workout.

5 Tips to Ease Weeknight Cooking

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of GE Appliances. The opinions and text are all mine.

As much as I love cooking for my family, some evenings it seems impossible to get dinner on the table. Even on those days, I do what I can to make sure we enjoy dinner as a family. Even though my boys are still young, family dinner together is important. No matter how busy we are, or how tired I am, we will have dinner at the table together.

Travel Time Magnetic Kit – Creative Play On-the-Go

I received Imagine I Can Travel Time for review purposes. All opinions are my own

This weekend we are going on our first family road trip (one of two this month). We are taking our older two boys (3 &4) to Branson for a couple nights. It is a four hour drive and I am not quite sure how they are going to handle it. I have been trying to find things to take so they don’t get bored easily while we are on-the-go.

A Collection of 15 Amazing Recipes for Grilled Vegetables

I am sharing my collection of grilled vegetable recipes as a sponsored post with Foodie.com. All opinions are my own.

Grilling seasoning is among us and that means plenty of backyard gatherings and BBQs. It is the time that we light up the grill at least once or twice a week.  Our backyard becomes a place to play, cook, and eat. My husband likes to grill just about everything. While we can always enjoy a good steak or burger, my favorites are always the grilled vegetables.

I have such a love for grilled vegetables, my husband often makes at least two different ones with each grilling session. I can make a meal just out of the sides. Sometimes I have him make a lot just so I have leftovers for the next day.

In preparation for all the BBQs we are going to have, I have put together a new collection of recipes on Foodie.com. The collection includes 15 amazing recipes for grilled vegetables. Some are will be good as side dishes, appetizers, or even a meal on its own. I’ve added Balsamic Grilled Summer Vegetables With Basil Quinoa SaladGrilled Sweet PotatoesGrilled Corn On The Cob With Jalapeno-Lime Aioli And Parmesan Cheese, and more. They look just as delicious as they sound.

Click the collection above to view them on Foodie and while you are there, look around to find more great recipes and collections.

Taking Time to Unwind with Brancott Estate ‘Flight Song’ Wines

“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Brancott Estate Wines. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

This month has been my busiest month so far this year, and my calender for May is looking even busier. With meetings, kids’ appointments, household chores, and everything in between, it’s easy to get caught up in the daily routine. Everything seems to just blend together of non-stop scheduled tasks.
