This post is Sponsored by Decibullz but my opinions are 100% my own! I was on such a roll with walking every single morning after I walked the girls to school. It became such a habit that I never made excuses, even if I could only walk one block due to an appointment, I still walked. I even walked in the evenings on days it was nice out. Oh and the cold didn't stop me. Last year for Christmas my husband gave me a cute hat that kept my head and ears nice and warm. So each morning I bundled up and walked, in the cold and even in the snow. But then the summer came and I stopped walking each morning because the girls were home and they had no desire to walk with me, nor did I want them...

CVS Canvas Prints {Save 50%}
I love Wall Art and we have several Canvas Prints in our home. I think it's important to display these pictures through out our home, to remind the girls how we are a family and we love each other. Or maybe I just like to do it because I grew up in a home where we had pictures all over the wall. To this day, my parents not only have pictures of my brother and I growing up and at our weddings, but they have tons of pictures on their wall of their four grandkids. Their family room has one wall full of pictures! I love it. Putting a picture in a pretty frame is one thing, but having it on a canvas means so much more to me. It sort of says to me, "I'm pretty important" to be worth being on...

Think Outside The Box when Decorating for the Holidays
This post is Sponsored by CVS/Pharmacy but my opinions are 100% my own! Thanksgiving was late this year so if you are like me, you are probably behind on completing the decorations for your holiday get parties. I actually know some people who don't put up holiday decorations until a week before the holiday. If that is you and you are still looking for decorations, avoid the big stores and stop by CVS because they have some great holiday decorations. When decorating, think outside the box. Those big ornaments at the top of the shelf would look great in a big glass bowl on your holiday table! The wreaths aren't real so they will actually last all season and not fall apart from drying...

McDonald’s Cuties – A Healthy Snack for On the Go {Giveaway}
I received compensation from McDonald’s in exchange for writing this review. Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are my own. I seriously can't believe that we are almost mid December. This time of the year flies by so fast. If I had just 3 more hours each day to get everything done in a timely matter, I'd be so happy. Actually, that would make a great Christmas Gift! Since that isn't going to happen, I have to find ways of squeezing in more time each day from now until the end of the year. When I first became a mom, I had NO IDEA how to juggle it all. I seriously cried through the holiday season. No lie! Having a baby in November and going through Postpartum depression...
