Coffee has always been one of my favorite beverages. Not a day goes by where I don’t enjoy at least one cup. When I think of coffee, I always think of Starbucks. If I am out running errands, I cannot resist driving through a Starbucks drive-thru for a fresh cup of deliciousness. When it comes to drinking coffee at home, I still can depend on Starbucks to get me through the day.
The month of March brings a lot of great things around my house. My husband gets a year older, spring begins, barbecues start back up and college basketball tournaments are always on. We like to host gatherings at our house almost weekly to watch games, barbecue, snack, play cards and relax. Sometimes our gatherings aren’t planned and end up being last minute with people showing up at the house with little notice. For that reason, I always keep easy snack foods in stock, especially chips.
Before I had kids, and even when I just had one, I would go the store and run errands almost daily. Now that I have three little guys, ages three and under, it isn’t that easy to get out of the house. Running to the store to pick up a few things just doesn’t happen anymore. I’ve had to change the way I shop and stock up on everyday products to make it easier for my family and me. I have been shopping online more frequently and more recently from my phone via apps such as the Walgreens Mobile App. The ease of the app can make a world of difference at the end of a long day.
You could say I am an overly emotional person, and I wouldn’t be able to deny that. I can cry watching a commercial or listening to a sappy song on the radio. With that, personal connections are pretty important to me. I have to constantly connect with my loved ones in one way or another, but in reality, it can be easy to let the little moments slip away. I have been trying to remind myself of the importance of my emotional heart and well-being in relation to my connection with my husband and loved ones. Having soft, healthy skin helps me feel more confident when creating touching moments.
With three kids that are always growing, I love finding bargains and great sales on clothing. When I am at local shopping centers, I spend hours digging through unorganized clearance racks for cloths. When I find something I like, I spend just as much time trying to find the correct size. Yes, I can find a great deal, but sometimes I think it’s not worth the hassle, especially with three kids in tow. To eliminate most of the stress and save time, I try to shop online as much as possible. I recently discovered my new favorite online store for all my kids’ clothing needs: Cookie’s Kids.
I love having friends and family over and take any chance I get to host a party that involves food. One of my favorite times to do so is during football season. Normally when I want to have a big party, I like to go all out. I spend hours in the kitchen making lots of food, decorating an awesome cake, and setting everything up for the party. Which can sometimes leave me exhausted and allow for less time enjoying the company. I decided the next big football party we host (in a few weeks), I am going to spend less time in the kitchen. Right away, I knew my one-stop shop to make this happen: Sam’s Club.
It’s no secret, I am a lover of coffee. Not a day goes by that I don’t drink at least two cups. One of my favorite coffee drinks is iced coffee. However, I don’t drink it as much as I would like because at a coffee shop it is too expensive to purchase daily and I don’t have time to make my own at my house. To enjoy iced coffee at home, I found that drinking International Delight Iced Coffee was my answer. But I had a dilemma. I have just about lost all my baby weight (yay!) and I am really starting to watch my sugar and calorie intake. I was dreading the thought of fewer iced coffees in my life. How would I get through my hectic day without that one indulgent drink that puts a smile on my face? Fortunately, International Delight heard my plea and is introducing their New Light Iced Coffee.
