Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, accounting for about 1 of every {Read More}

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Fast Metabolism Diet. I love to be pregnant, and of course I love the children that come with pregnancy, but I don’t love what pregnancy does to my body. And, after having four children (two being a set of twins) you can imagine my diet and weight aren’t what they once were. So two weeks ago, my husband and I embarked on a lifestyle change (we’re not going to call it a diet) and {Read More}

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Goya Foods. I love quesadillas (heck I love all Spanish food, but let’s just focus on quesadillas), but what I don’t love are those heavy, grease laden recipes you usually find in restaurants. I like my quesadillas light and packed full of healthy, satisfying ingredients that I don’t feel guilty about eating. Goya Foods makes cooking healthy food at home easy with their line of organic and low sodium {Read More}

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BlogHer. Summer is here and no hairstyle is more fitting than a long beachy waves hairstyle. Are you saying ‘But Stacy, I don’t have time to spend creating a gorgeous hairdo like that in the morning?” With having four kids I didn’t think I had the time either, but trust me you do. In just minutes, you can get sexy hair just like Gisele! What’s great about this hairstyle {Read More}

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud Diapers. I am so thrilled to have this opportunity to work with Wal-Mart and receive White Cloud Diapers for my little ones to try out. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This DIY Kitchenaid Makeover is a sponsor post on behalf of Silhouette America. When my beloved KitchenAid mixer of 10 years died earlier this year, I knew I had to get another one a.s.a.p. This time though I wanted one with pizzazz, not the same old boring white mixer like I had before. The first thing I did was opt for the new bright, bold red mixer. Wow! What a stand out this beauty is! Next I added a personal {Read More}

Last week I was invited to listen to a mother tell her heartbreaking story about how she lost her youngest child (a 14-year-old boy) in a teen driving accident. As heartbreaking as her story was, it is a story that plays out far too often in our country. Her story began when a family friend took a group of boys camping, but they were one seat belt short. The other parent decided to let his 17-year-old son drive all the {Read More}

I LOVE having long hair, but to be honest it can be an inconvenience. Windy days, hot days, playing sports, nursing our baby, and just being a busy mom is challenging when long locks get in the way, and the last thing I want is to have my hair in a ponytail every single day. (Boring!) I want a hairstyle that makes me feel cute, sexy and pretty. I want an easy DIY up do to keep my hair out {Read More}
