This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Buca di Beppo® for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. This last weekend, to my absolute delight, my husband and I left our kids with my parents and stayed the night in a hotel. Not only did we get a entire night and almost two days away from home but we walked around a mall, visited a book store, ate dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, and visited a local church service. All without the kids. It was so un-stressful and easy. I felt … [Read more...]

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Orgain. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. I love using protein powder in smoothies. Honestly, that's what I have been using it for since July of last year. Green smoothies have been a favorite go-to drink for me in the morning.

One of my favorite flavor combinations is cherries with chocolate. I also love cherry Greek yogurt and eat it a few times per week for a low calorie, high protein, sweet treat.

I don't know if you'd want to see an entire blog post about how easy that dessert time snack is. {But it is so easy. You … [Read more...]
