How We’re Handling Cold Germs this Holiday Season
This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own. My kids bring home cold germs from school every year.

Growing Your Family: What is Egg Donation?
I partnered with Growing Generations and BraVoMark on this post. All opinions are mine. Many people mistakenly think that because of this blog name, Long Wait For Isabella, I had a hard time getting pregnant. When in fact, I had a very easy time getting pregnant.

Parents! Learn about the Importance of Childrens Dental Care
This post was sponsored by Give Kids A Smile as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. This month I read a story about a 26 year old California man who died due to tooth infection. That tooth infection had spread to his lungs. I remember seeing how many people were surprised by this information on social media. I don't think the majority of Americans realize how important dental care is. Here on our reservation, we have … [Read more...]
Losing Weight with the THRIVE Experience
These THRIVE reviews are a sponsored post. All opinions are mine alone. Seek medical professional advice before starting any weight loss journey. I am not a medical professional. This holiday season I gained five pounds. Five pounds in one month! It's easy to gain it, but so hard losing it, isn't it? So at the beginning of the year I decided a change was very necessary. I didn't want to see the number on the scale continually go up. Then last week my husband and I took a trip to Tucson, … [Read more...]
