Gerber Baby Food Purees – Just Like Homemade♥

When it comes to feeding my sweet girl, I only give her the best. From breastfeeding, to what we eat and the occasional puree baby food in between. But as a mom constantly on the go, I'll admit it, sometimes I purchase baby food from the grocery store. You'll always find me reading and comparing the nutritional facts just to make sure I choose what's best for her. And with so many misleading baby food options, I know I can always trust Gerber, and when I found Gerber's 2nd Foods® Purees Apple and Carrots jars, I was beyond excited and couldn't wait to bring them home and try them with Ava.

How I made better eating choices♥

Diets don't have to be boring. Believe me. When I started this weight loss journey, I felt like my life was going to consist of salads. But, thankfully with the help of Tyson Grilled and Ready® Chicken, I get to spice up my lunch routine and try new things. What's my favorite lunch recipe? Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wrap. Easy to make and so delicious! The best part? You can totally meal prep this recipe.

Weight Loss Journey - Update #1♥

This post is not sponsored in anyway.

You know that feeling you get, when your clothes don't fit right and you just don't feel good about yourself? That was me, 4 weeks ago. And I know what you're thinking, "Alyssa you just had a baby a few months ago". But, I felt myself slipping into bad eating habits, and constantly using breastfeeding as an excuse. My friend and I decided to challenge ourselves and cut out sweets for 4 weeks.

 Here is my first update.

Satisfy Your Cravings with Breyers delights♥

Every New Year, I try my best to begin the year living a healthier lifestyle. Last year, after giving birth to my third daughter, I decided, it's really time to start taking my New Year, New Me more serious. It's not always easy and cravings definitely seem to sneak up on me. Finding a way to satisfy my cravings was challenging. Until I met my new favorite treat, Breyer's delights Cookies and Cream! It's guiltless ice cream at it's best! No more giving up on my healthier lifestyle and my cravings are taken care of.

Why my daughters and I love to #SnackBrighter with Outshine Bars♥

 When I think of Back to School and Dance Season, the first thing that comes to mind is a mindful snack. A snack that is simple, healthy, and puts a smile on my girls faces, as you can tell I'm pretty picky when it comes to their snacks. I like to pick snacks for them that are all-natural and always full with nutrition. Reading labels is a must, my girls even do it! If I can't pronounce it, it's not going in my cart. So when I discover a new snack that is healthy and full of greatness, I tend to get overly excited..

Nature Made® KIDS FIRST® at Target♥

This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central.

It's time for Back to School, which also means it's time for multivitamins. Which for my family also means starting the year on track with quality healthy habits. We like choosing high-quality vitamins and supplements but finding a great brand that offers that isn't always easy. That was until I went to Target for a few Back to School items and ran into a KIDS FIRST® multivitamin by Nature Made®. Nature Made® KIDS FIRST® Multivitamin Gummies come in all- natural fruit flavors like Orange, Cherry & Mixed Berry that your kids will love, I know my daughters do. Bonus. They are Gluten free, with no preservatives or yeast. It's really a win win for your kids.

Blue Apron Review♥

I've seen so many great reviews, celebrities talking about it and friends using Blue Apron. And now I finally understand why. I've always been curious on how it works, if the food is fresh, and if it's really worth the money, so I contemplated on making the purchase. When Blue Apron contacted me to try their Family Plan, I was super excited because it put the contemplating to an end and gave me a verdict. I love Blue Apron meals and I cannot wait to sign up for my next box.

Veggie Fries Review♥

“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Veggie Fries. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. All opinions and reviews are my own.”

What I love most about being an Organic family is trying healthier option foods. Even though my daughters can get picky, when it comes to Vegetables they are open to trying new things. With that being said I have to tell you about this NEW amazing product, Veggie Fries. Veggie Fries are available in four varieties: Broccoli, Carrot, Chickpea & Red Pepper and Tuscan Bean & Herb. Out of the four varieties, I went with Broccoli and Carrot. I picked them up and my local Stop and Shop in the Freezer Section, which just launched this April!

Taking the 21 Day Listerine Challenge♥

Oral hygiene is something that I've always been vigilant about. I am so self conscious about my smile and I have been since I was little, but I told myself I would always be good about brushing my teeth. I brush twice a day, everyday. While I do have a good habit, they could definitely be better. I don’t ever rinse with a mouth wash and I only floss on occasion. I have to wonder how much I am missing in my mouth by only brushing.

ELECTROLYTES - COCOZIA contains a natural abundance of potassium and magnesium, as well as other electrolytes. Electrolytes are directly involved with body hydration and muscle function. Better to get yours from a natural source like COCOZIA than from a sugary, synthetic sports drink alternative.
