In my home, we take full advantage of this Holiday, and we always eat spicy, cheesy, delicious Mexican fare.
Whether it's nachos, burritos, enchiladas, or a variety of tacos, we always end up with full bellies, ready for a nice siesta. There's nothing more fulfilling than a good meal followed by a nice, leisurely nap. Unless, of course, heartburn strikes. I have suffered from regular heartburn most of my adult life. It started when I was expecting my oldest son, who is now 16. Unfortunately, it never really fully went away. I get heartburn regularly, and it's often brought on by my favorite foods.

I'm glad we recognize the importance of women's health, especially since so many of us, myself included, often neglect our own well-being because we're so busy caring for others. When we have kids, homes, jobs, and marriages to worry about, it's easy to forget about ourselves! Can anyone relate?
That’s why this year, leading up to National Women’s Health Week (May 8-14, 2016), Colgate Total® invites women across the country to pledge to Refresh, Restore and Repair their health, starting with something as simple as switching to the Colgate Total® Daily Repair regimen. Here are 5 simple, painless things you can do to celebrate YOUR health as we lead up to National Women's Health Week. I promise these tips won't make you miserable, and you might just end up forming new, healthy habits!

Are you in the market for a new mattress?
Maybe your current mattress is old, lumpy, or just plain uncomfortable? Perhaps you're looking for better sleep technology like memory foam or gel to help address those nights spent tossing and turning? Well, there's a new mattress on the block, and it's made by the folks at Nature's Sleep! (If you aren't familiar with Nature's Sleep, let me be the first to tell you that this brand is Ah-MAY-zing.) Their newest offering, the GhostBed, promises supernatural comfort at a price that is surprisingly budget-friendly. Their Queen Sized mattress is only $750, and shipping is FREE! They even offer a 101 night risk-free sleep trial, so you can try out your new GhostBed mattress before you commit to buying. Sounds pretty awesome, don't you agree? Honoring A Very Special Mom With Hallmark Flowers #HallmarkFlowers #LoveHallmark #Sponsored4/25/2016  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Mother's Day is just 2 weeks away, everyone! Do you have any fun plans to celebrate the special Moms in your life? Maybe she will be enjoying breakfast in bed, followed by a day of pampering? Maybe she will get a day of peace and quiet so she can read a book, take a bubble bath, or use the restroom in peace? Maybe you're taking Mom somewhere absolutely fabulous to celebrate her special day?
No matter what your Mother's Day plans may be, it's time to make Mom feel unique, appreciated, and special. After all, Moms make the world go 'round, after all! I'd like to tell you about a very special Mom that I know. She's such an inspiration, and the folks at Hallmark agree! In fact, they have helped me to honor this special lady by sending her a gorgeous, surprise bouquet of Hallmark Flowers. How cool is that?! Anyway, as many of you know, my childhood friend, Erin, recently received a heart and liver transplant. She actually got her new heart on Valentine's Day. (How perfect is that?!) Erin still has a long road to recovery, but she's making tons of progress, and I am SO incredibly proud of her! Erin was born with a series of complex CHDs. (Congenital Heart Defects) Erin has been fighting for her life since the day she was born-literally!  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** My 6 year old daughter, Sophie, is a total fashionista. She loves nothing more than dressing up in pretty, frilly clothing and being the talk of the playground. She also hates getting even a speck of dirt on her, so sometimes, things get interesting. She's definitely a little diva, and a girly-girl at heart.
Since Sophie's 6 going on 16 and her favorite thing in the world to do is go shopping for clothing, I am always on the lookout for well-made, affordable fashions. I prefer not to go shopping at those big-box supercenters, since their offerings aren't exactly unique and sometimes, the quality tends to be lacking. We much prefer privately owned, boutique type stores for our fashion needs. So naturally, when I was introduced to Designs by Meghna, I was incredibly excited. Decked out with girly details like ruffles, bows and sequins, the adorable apparel and accessories from Designs by Meghna are a dream for girls to wear. Designs by Meghna Uses comfy fabrics that feel great all day, and these darling brand designs looks right at home for parties or playtime. This line is surprisingly affordable, too!

Now that winter has gone away, hopefully for good, we're spending a lot of time outdoors together as a family. Picnics, trips to the lake or zoo, and even just a day at the park helps us to reconnect with nature, and with each other!
Whenever we head out to have family adventures, I always make sure to have some treats packed. You never know when hunger will strike, but with 3 kids in tow, I know it will strike hard, fast, and often. When I pack snacks or treats, I try to find products that are not only tasty, but nutritious, too. Recently, we received a wonderful package of products from New Zealand based Pacific Resources International. They offer a wide variety of products featuring both Pacific Sea Salt and the oh-so-delectable Manuka Honey.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Earth Day is right around the corner, folks! In fact, it's this Friday, April 22. We've been teaching the kids all about our plant this month, and they've really been enjoying learning how to be more eco-friendly and responsible. We've taken nature walks, talked about turning off electricity when it's not being used, and we've even headed to local area parks to clean up litter.
Another thing we've been doing is teaching the kids how they can be earth-friendly when they're snacking! By choosing organic treats and reusable snack bags, it's easy and delicious to be environmentally friendly! 
I remember when my babies were newborns. They were so tiny, so sweet, and all I wanted to do was snuggle them all day long.
For a newborn, there’s nothing more soothing than being held. So it's important to keep them cozy,safe and close to us. However, as moms life can be chaotic and no matter how much we try to hold them life happens, between post partum recuperation and life, it becomes hard. Constantly holding your baby can also put a strain on your body and figuring out how to correctly swaddle your little one can be confusing. The Lalabu Soothe Shirt is the easy way to hold and swaddle your infant and spend much needed bonding time.
 The Soothe Shirt is a pretty unique product...it's a stylish nursing tank for breastfeeding moms, and it's also a cozy carrying pouch for newborn babies (from 7 to 15 pounds). It's easy to get your infant in and out of, best of all it doubles as a nursing bra, and looks like a shirt you’d wear even if you aren't a new mom. Moms can wear it as a nursing tank as long as they're breastfeeding (it's great for layering!), but the core lifespan is for the newborn stage, since that's when it works for carrying baby, too.
The Soothe Shirt isn't a baby carrier and it isn't intended for "hands free" carrying. Like carriers, it does distribute the child's weight across the upper body, securing your child and taking the weight off of your arms. Although, it's still recommended you keep one hand on the baby while in the pouch.
This shirt is much the opposite of a carrier, the desire of Lalabu is to promote mom-baby bonding and actively doing life together. This is encouraged through having a cozy pouch and nursing top available at all times. Mom and baby enjoy the benefits of baby wearing while baby is in the pouch and the Soothe Shirt makes breastfeeding more convenient even in public so you are more likely to do it.
Lalabu isn't just a fashionable + functional product, they have a unique giveback model that customers love -- they give 2% of all of their topline revenue to women entrepreneurs through Kiva's microlending program. Not only is this company producing an amazing product but empowering women to
