@MurphyUSA Pack the Cooler: Day at the Pool with Murphy Sport/Aquafina #MurphyUSA

@MurphyUSA Pack the Cooler: Day at the Pool with Murphy Sport/Aquafina #MurphyUSA

Weekdays are filled with rushing from work, errands, karate, and any extra activities we add into our week.  It can get overwhelming, so we try to spend our weekends enjoying family time.  This weekend we drove to Baxter Springs, KS (my hometown) to spend a fun-filled day for the boys with grandma, grandpa, and cousins hanging out by the pool.  Preparing for a day at the pool doesn’t have to be hectic.  Thanks to MurphyUSA, you can grab last minute supplies… About MurphyUSA   I am been a customer of MurphyUSA since I worked at Wal-Mart in Joplin, MO during high school.  What’s not to love about getting 3 cents off per gallon just for using a Wal-Mart giftcard?  Back then, the kiosk seemed to sell mostly gas & cigarettes with not...

@gratefulbodysc *Beauty is not one size fits* all aquative/midnight body oil #giveaway #glutenfree

We are not one size fits all, so there is no need for our beauty needs to be either.  I am almost down to the last 2 weeks of the 90 day beachbody program with RevAbs.  I have been working hard and enjoy treating myself without food. Beauty products are a great way to enhance & encourage all our efforts. So, what is worthy of our efforts… Imagine a company that offers cruelty free, vegan, & raw ingredients.  Then, combine that with the fact that the products are blended by hand in artisan-sized batches with a low-tech approach (absolutely no exposure to high heat, chemicals, or any other factors that might compromise the value and effectiveness of our creations).

@MIDELCookies easy #glutenfree ice cream sandwich recipe

It doesn’t matter that we deal with food restrictions in our house.  What matters is that I work hard so my kids can live a normal life!  If that means they get to have cookies, ice cream sandwiches, or cookie ice cream for goodness sake so be it.  The other day, I was comparing a dessert to a rice krispies treat to my boys. Of course that answer was followed by another question  ”what is a rice krispies treat?”* There are things that my boys could potential miss out on due to food restrictions.  I am not saying that I think that not having certain foods such as treats is going to hurt them, but they are kids after all. Mi-Del Gluten Free Cookies “Gluten-Free Meets Delicious. We just can’t help it. Giving you your delicious is the...
