 ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** Once upon a time, about 5 years ago, I went on my first ever Press Event for Disney. I was SO excited to find some Pixie Dust in my inbox, and I hurriedly packed for my adventure.
Of course in my haste, I forgot to pack comfortable shoes. In fact, I didn't pack ANY shoes....Except for the heeled boots I was wearing. Bad move. Bad, bad, Rookie mistake. So once I settled into my fabulous Los Angeles area hotel, I was thrilled to find that the gift shop had the most adorable sandals made from recyclable materials. They were soft, well-constructed and comfortable, and had the prettiest embellishments on them. They were from a brand called Oka-b, and I fell in love immediately. I wish I had gotten a photo of these sandals. They were GORGEOUS. Princess-worthy, even. Little did I know that the very day I returned home, my Dog, who is aptly named Trouble, would destroy them beyond repair. Sigh. Fast forward 5 years, and imagine my excitement when I found an e-mail from Oka-b's Parent company, Okabashi, in my inbox! Since I was already familiar with the amazing quality and comfort, I jumped at the chance to check out Okabashi's line of Vegan, cruelty-free, recyclable shoes. Did I mention these puppies are also American made? Okay. Just making sure.

Now that school is out for both my homeschoolers and my High School rising SENIOR, (How did that even happen?!) we're settling into our typical summer routine.
As a blogger and homeschool Mom, I work from home. (Obviously.) This allows me the chance to have less frantic mornings, and a little more wiggle room when it comes to our daily schedules. We have the luxury of being able to call the shots each morning, especially during summer when there are literally no demands on the kids' schedules. Want to stay up late and have a movie marathon, and sleep in the next morning? Sure! Breakfast out on the deck, and then playing outside all day while Mommy listens to tunes and blogs from her cushy, outdoor workstation? Absolutely! Actually, breakfast outside is one of my favorite things to do during the summer season. NE Ohio typically has gorgeous summers, and we love spending most of our time outdoors.  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post. All opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.*** This weekend, like many American families, we will be taking ourselves outside to grill, chill, and enjoy time together as a family. Memorial Day weekend is a great time to connect and unwind together, and we intend to do just that.
In addition to a feast of burgers, dogs, BBQ chicken, steaks, and all the fixin's, we will also be staying active with fun games and even some sporting activities. Gotta burn off all those calories from our meal, after all! Sophie and Xander will have a blast, thanks to the awesome folks at American Plastic Toys, who sent them some awesome toys to help celebrate both Memorial Day and the start of summer!  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

I partnered with ISOThrive [http://isot.us/PH33]—a gastroenterologist-endorsed, bacterially fermented microFood —to try out a new solution for digestive health, and to share a little bit about their philosophy. And let me tell you, I have learned so much about nutrition and digestion! The first thing I learned was why those probiotic yogurts never made me feel any better—the bacteria they were touting never made it to the part of my gut where they were needed! MicroFood feeds the bacteria that are already in your gut, but aren't getting the nutrition they need. Brilliant, right?  ***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my post.

Anyone who knows me in "real life" knows that visiting the great state of Vermont is pretty high on my Bucket List. For one, they have Bernie Sanders. (Lucky peeps!) They also have gorgeous terrain, quaint towns, and from what I understand, almost a "Hippie Vibe" in general.
Yeah. So Vermont sounds like it's totally up my alley! Anyway, when I learned about the authentic, Vermont Maple Sap drinks from SAP! Maple, I couldn't wait to try them. There are SAP! Sodas and SAP! Seltzers, and both drinks are flavored with real, Vermont Maple Sap! Sap! products are non-alcoholic beverages made from 100% pure maple sap straight from the maple trees of Vermont. Maple Sap! Soda and Maple Sap! Seltzer are healthy alternatives to sugar-sweetened beverages. Sap! is about more than just satisfying a craving. It’s also about tradition. These products make the time-honored tradition of the maple harvest accessible to everyone, while supporting Vermont’s working landscape and rural economy. Every spring, the transition from freezing nights to thawing days triggers the flow of sap within the mighty maple tree. Once a tree is tapped, maple sap comes out of the tree looking like water and has a subtly sweet taste. But sap is so much more than just H20. Maple sap holds a myriad of health benefits with naturally occurring electrolytes, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. The drink is hydrating and great for post workout recovery, along with just being a delicious drink for normal consumption. And one more thing, harvesting sap is a sustainable practice that does not harm the tree. Drinks sweetened with all natural, Maple Sap? Count me in! |
