    Candy Bar Milkshake – Baby Booster Style

    This blog has been compensated by Baby Booster. I also received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. The days after Halloween can be a major health challenge if you have a love for candy like I do. A few years ago, when I was 60+ pounds overweight, I could scarf down five or six candy bars and not blink an eye. When I transitioned to a healthier lifestyle, I realized the only way I could make that happen was by throwing out everything that wasn’t good for me. I don’t have the willpower to NOT eat multiple candy bars in one sitting. This show…

    The Perfect Popsicle

    Isn’t it safe to say that summer and popsicles go together like peas and carrots? As the temps get higher in the South, my sweet tooth – and the kids becomes more and more apparent.

I mean, it is 2016, so connectivity is important! However, thanks to a plan offered by Walmart, we have found ways around our internet barrier. We discovered the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS plan which features…

    Skechers Twinning

    Nolan’s shoes | Derrek’s shoes Nolan has always been his daddy’s shadow. I love their bond! Some of my favorite moments in life are seeing them interact, and as time goes on, Nolan becomes more interested in doing everything exactly like his daddy. He wants to go to work with him, workout with him, go uptown with him, etc.! It’s so cute how he gets really excited anytime he does something like Derrek. When Skechers reached out about sporting some of their performance products, I knew that this would be the perfect opportunity for Nolan to match Derrek! Derrek picked out a pair of the black Skechers sneakers, and Nolan…
