Did you know, study after study provides scientific proof about the positive, lifelong benefits of family meals? Family meals nourish the spirit, brain and health of all family members. I know for me, family meal time is something I look forward to everyday. No worrying about busy schedules or what we have to do next. It's sitting down at the table and going person to person, asking "How was your day?" It's when we can just act silly, talk about our goals or play a game. And of course, enjoy a delicious, family favorite meal, like my Cheesy Taco Bake! A quick meal you'll want to make over and over again.

Traveling Organized with your CUE♥

Traveling is something we do often, I swear it feels like we live in our truck. From dance, to softball, doctors appointments and of course family fun! I wish I could say I've mastered packing when it comes to taking our family trips but I still tend to over pack. However, I have mastered a thing or two about packing more organized and packing things like liquids, powders and my husbands vape. If you've never traveled with a vape, those little things can be so MESSY! And since one of our 2018 goals are to stay more organized, we decided to try and pack less and crush our organization goals!

What's the first thing I think of when Winter Vacation is over? School lunches. I always try to come up with creative but easy lunch ideas for the week. Something my oldest daughter can help with when I'm busy with the baby. One of their favorites is breakfast for lunch! And with the help of Jif and Smucker's, we did a twist on a classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It's perfect for school lunches!

 Back to School season is upon us and with both of my daughters in school full time, I decided it was best to start College. I've always wanted to start my degree in digital photography but being a full time mom and a dance mom, I could never find the time and let's just say my laptop wasn't up to speed either, and also I'm not very organized. Well thanks to Walmart and their affordable selection of all new HP PC's, I was able to find the notebook of my dreams and let's just say I am seriously in love with my HP Notebook. And it's absolutely perfect for my digital photography courses. Plus, I am learning how to juggle everything and it's going wonderfully. Hopefully my Tips for staying organized for back to school can help you as well!

They're so good and super easy to make. With a glass of Merlot, it's even BETTER.

For us, school is already over, it actually ended last week. And I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing. Why so early? Honestly, I'm not sure. Most towns are still in school and dance is still is session. So our summer really hasn't started yet. But, the one thing I love to do when school is officially over, is have an indoor tent movie night! My girls look forward to it every year. And thanks to Walmart Family Mobile Plus plan featuring Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE data, I also get a FREE movie on VUDU (new release rental $7 value)! How awesome! And it's perfect for our end of the School year movie night.

One thing I like, well love to do is sit back with my girlfriends, relax and try new wines but not just any wines, we like to try family owned wines. I mean wine is a moms best friend, right? I know in my case it is. Want to know what else I love doing? Pairing new wines with some of my favorite recipes, which isn't always easy. Thankfully Sutter Home has a delicious line of affordable, award-winning wines like my new favorite, Chardonnay. And it pairs perfectly with a recipe I love making, Mini Cuban Tostone Sandwiches.

What's your favorite thing about summer? The warm weather? BBQ's? Family get together's? Personally, I love all of the above! I love feeling the sun on my skin, the sound of laughter and being surrounded by my family every weekend. I know for me, every weekend isn't always perfect and I am usually in a rush. Have you ever gotten a last minute call, that you were hosting the weekend get together? I get that call ALL the time. Thankfully I am always prepared and I owe it all to Chobani Mezé Dips.

Take a Hike with SToK™ Cold-Brew Iced Coffee♥

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions stated are my own and are not influenced by any affiliates. #SToKCoffee #CollectiveBias

One of our favorite things to do is go hiking and it's usually at random times, like Sunday morning or after school, sometimes even after dinner. My fiance works all day and he would do anything to keep a smile on his daughters faces, so a 3 mile hike after an 8 hour work day is "nothing" to  him. But as a mom, I can tell when someone is low on energy. He literally runs himself on empty to keep our girls happy. However, he has a new side kick to help keep him energized and it's name, is SToK™ Cold-Brew Iced Coffee. And boy is it delicious.

Reduce Stress with blu PLUS+ e-Cigs♥

Everyday stress can be hard and so can being a parent, especially when you're a dance mom. It comes with the "normal" for us, quick costume changes, hairstyles, makeup and of course patience. Which I usually never have. Faking a smile can be hard. I want my daughter to look into my eyes seconds before she goes on stage and see my happiness, not the meltdown she had before going on or the built up stress I have from her meltdown and everything else. Dance for her is a dream come true and I want to be her number one fan. Brushing off stress is one of the hardest things I've mastered. But with the help of blu PLUS+ eCigs I no longer have to try so hard and my daughter has my undivided attention, worry-free and most importantly stress-free!

Data And A Movie with Walmart Family Mobile Plus♥

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions stated are my own and are not influenced by any affiliates. #DataAndAMovie #CollectiveBias

One thing I love to do is watch movies and shows on my phone. Being a dance mom, I'm always at my daughter's dance studio, sometimes for hours. I don't mind because when I have my phone, I can open an app and ta-da a movie awaits. However, my current Data Plan has other options. I find myself constantly checking for signal and other times, my movies won't even load. That's where Walmart Family Mobile Plus comes in. Have you heard of Walmart Family Mobile Plus? It's an Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data service which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE plus a free movie on VUDU every month, per line for $49.88 offered at Walmart!

The Holiday's are upon us. Thanksgiving is weeks away, Christmas is next month and the New Year is right around the corner. You know what that means right? Time to start planning those Holiday Parties! Planning parties can be so much fun, I know for me it's something I look forward to every year but with party planning comes stress. Making sure you have everything on your to-do list and more, plus making sure you home is in tip top shape and everything is stocked. By everything I mean toilet paper and facial tissue. Have you ever ran out of toilet paper during a party? Take it from me, it's not a dream come true. Especially if it's during a Christmas party and every store is closed! Thankfully this year I was introduced to BJ's Wholesale Club, which sells bulk Kimberly Clark brands like Scott toilet paper and Kleenex, two must haves for every Holiday Party.

Being a mom, I feel like I always need to be extra prepared. From a fever, to a headache and even dry lips. It can hit anytime, anywhere. Not only for your children but yourself too. I know headaches are something I get frequently and Advil is the first thing I pick up. Have you ever tried being at a dance competition with a headache? It's already stressful and having a headache doesn't help. That's why I'm always sure to have a Purse filled with these must have Essentials like Infants Advil, Advil Tablets, ChapStick and Centrum VitaMints.

One thing I love to do is laugh. I always have a smile on my face. But the older I get the harder it gets and I'm sure SUI also known as Stress Urinary Incontinence plays a huge part. TMI, I know but let's face it SUI is a real thing and can impact you whenever you laugh, sneeze or even exercise. Well, fear no more. It's time for me to laugh again and I owe it all to Poise Impressa. Poise Impressa has changed the way I laugh and workout. I feel comfortable but most importantly confident and I love that I don't have to worry anymore.

It's that time again, Autumn which means Halloween is right around the corner and so are the Holidays. As our lives become busier, due to shopping and decorating, it's important we make time for ourselves. We have been together forever, literally. We are actually celebrating our 10 year anniversary in January! Everyday we are reminded how much we love each other. Though we have been together for such a long time, we like to keep our bedroom life fresh and alive. I know for us, we like to change things up and add a little Spice to our intimacy. Halloween is the purrfect Holiday to do just that!

Glucerna @ Walmart♥

While growing up, I watched my mom struggle with Weight issues and Diabetes. I also remember the day she decided it was time for a change. She wanted to take not just her health but ours more seriously. She decided to clean out the kitchen. She got rid of all the junk and started to make a positive change in our poor eating habits. When someone is struggling like the way my mom was, they need support and lots of it. I was my moms cheerleader. I would attend meetings with her and do my best to push away from those bad cravings and into healthier choices. But after years of struggling her doctor took the plunge and recommended Gastric Bypass Surgery. He explained that it would take the weight off but it would also help with her diabetes.

As a Mom to not just one, but two little ones who are in school and dance, I am in need of a reliable car. Not only does my car need to be reliable, I need a place to go to get reliable service. As a Dance Mom I am always on the go. Between Dance practice, Competition and Recitals I travel a lot. And now that my youngest has enrolled into her first year of dance things are about to get even more busy. Plus, my family loves to travel during the Summer. I mean, who doesn't love a good Beach or Overnight Road Trip?
