Well.... That Happened♥

This post is sponsored by U by Kotex but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

I know at some point this has happened to you. You think, my period is going to start soon, soon as in a week or two.. However you didn't think it would start TODAY! You know while shopping. Okay okay, you caught me. This happened to me a few weeks ago. I was in the middle of Walmart grocery shopping and in the back of my mind, I knew my period was coming. I was bloated, tired, and cranky! And guess what, my period started a week early. Totally embarrassed! I always try to track my period and keep tampons in my purse but I was not prepared for my period to come a week early. No purse, a screaming toddler and the tampon/pad vending machine was broken It was time to get creative, I quickly made a pad out of toilet paper. Finished my grocery shopping and thankfully grabbed feminine products to get home as fast as I could. Talk about uncomfortable shopping.
For me this was a temporary situation but for many other women it's not. Did you know, 1 in 4 women struggle to purchase period supplies products in the past year due to lack of income?

Why my daughter is a #WalmartBaby♥

This shop has been compensated by Walmart and Parent's Choice by The Motherhood.

As a mom of three, I still constantly find myself looking for advice, reassurance and of course, ways to save money. Adding another child doesn't have to mean life getting more stressful or crazy expensive. I remember being pregnant with my daughter and browsing the baby section and immediately I would become overwhelmed. I always thought about all the baby stuff she would need. Well, I'm here to tell you that it is possible to save money and life with another baby is as simple as you make it.

Buying household essentials just got even easier♥

This will be the first year we're hosting a Holiday party at our house. We usually go to my mothers or mother in laws but our daughters insist we try it once at our house. So up goes the tree, all the decor, and of course, I start my holiday menu, which consists of food, food and more food. As you can see I'm a huge planner and I try and avoid last minute shopping because things can get pretty hectic. But one things I always forget is household essentials like toilet paper and Kleenex! Both a must have during any Holiday event! But, thanks to Walmart, I can now order all my household essentials ONLINE!

This is my FAVORITE and I mean favorite time of the year. I love all the happiness, decorations, and of course the baking. I mean who doesn't love walking into a house that smells like freshly baked cookies? My daughters love it! Baking from scratch can be a pain, especially if you don't have everything you need but thanks to Betty Crocker, I'm always prepared to make a fresh batch of White Chocolate Dipped Sugar Cookies.

 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!

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.

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. These dips are unlike any other dip, they are a delicious combination of real vegetables, and thick, creamy and trusted Chobani Greek Yogurt!

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.

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!

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?

How I Use My Data My Way with Walmart Family Mobile♥

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. #MyDataMyWay #CollectiveBias

As a mother I love trying new recipes and sometimes it can be hard to sit down in front of a computer and look around for something new. Plus, I really don’t have the time to write the recipe down and forget printing it and I have no intentions of bringing my laptop in the kitchen when I am cooking... Oh man, Can you see that disaster? Because I sure can! So here's the thing, I shop at Walmart all the time. It's convenient and I can get in and get everything I pretty much need and I'm done. Recently my Fiance and I decided to check out Walmart Family Mobile. We figured it was worth a shot and a much more affordable option for us.
