Stonyfield Organic Yogurt for Kids #MC
“I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Stonyfield. I received coupons to facilitate my shopping trip and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”
My child’s nutrition is by far one of the most important things I factor in while grocery shopping. You know how kids are….they pretty much just want a block of cheese or a candy bar. I try to “disguise” certain foods with healthy ingredients and sometimes it actually works. Usually it’s a battle to get Connor to eat anything…he’s always been a tough kiddo.
As a full time working mom it’s really hard to plan our meals because we are on the go all the time. One of my favorite products that I reach for in the morning is Stonyfield yogurt. Connor LOVES yogurt & eats it with a bowl of cereal in the mornings.
These strawberry YoKids tubes are perfect for snacking on the go!
Stonyfield has a great new line of products – YoBaby, YoToddler, and YoKid yogurt pouches. These are first refrigerated organic yogurt pouches available. All of the Stonyfield organic yogurt pouches contain pure organic ingredients and never any high fructose corn syrup or artificial flavors. This makes me feel so good as a Mom knowing I’m feeding Connor something that is good for him without all that artificial junk.
Stonyfield yogurt comes in some yummy flavors such as: Blueberry, Strawberry Banana, and Spinach, Pear, & Mango. Check here to see if Stonyfield organic yogurt pouches are sold near you.
Connect with Stonyfield on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest & tell them why your child loves Stonyfield yogurt SO much!
Reebok Skyscape: The Perfect Summer Shoe
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. I received a Kohl’s gift card to purchase a pair of #Reebok Skyscape shoes in order to facilitate this review and all opinions are my own.”
Have you ever tried on a pair of shoes and you knew immediately that they were “da bomb”? Okay…that’s how I felt about these new Reebok Skyscape shoes.
I headed to Kohl’s to pick some up, unfortunately they weren’t at my store, so I ordered them on the kiosk in the shoe department. It was super easy and if you order them in store you get free shipping! Within a few days they were at my doorstep.
When I first tried on my new Reebok Skyscape shoes the first thing I noticed was how light they were. They are so light it feels as if you are walking in slippers, but you have the support of a tennis shoe all wrapped up in one.
I’ve been looking for a cute pair of tennis shoes that are easy, casual, and cute too! I do a lot of photo shoots on the weekends and these are great for running around and they are SO comfortable. I kid you not. I am super picky when it comes to finding shoes and these are by far my favorite. I’ve worn them all weekend-just ask my hubby.
I feel like I’m walking on air. This is the perfect shoe for traveling, walking around, running errands. It’s a great light and airy shoe for everyday wear.
I may never take these shoes off. They are really some of the best shoes I’ve owned in a long time. I didn’t know a casual (and good looking) tennis shoe could be so comfortable at the same time. They are also machine washable, which I love!
The Reebok Skyscape comes in several fun colors:
These are, in my opinion, the perfect shoe for summer! I can’t wait to wear these all season long.
Because I’m Happy!
HAPPY FRIDAY FROM A FUTURE SUPER HERO WANNA-BE 🙂

Finish This Link Up
I’m a little tardy to the party today….oops! But alas, I must join up with my favorite link-up of the week “Finish This”.
My favorite makeup item is …
I love Makeup Forever concealer. It’s hands down the best concealer I’ve used for all over coverage. It covers everything!
The best book I’ve ever read was ____ because …
It’s been awhile since I’ve read a book. I just don’t have that much time anymore. I love books by Sophie Kinsella. The Twilight series was great when I was reading it. I pretty much like anything that is a romance with some comedy added to the mix.
My favorite TV show is …
Right now my favorite TV show is The Blacklist. I’m trying so hard to figure the story line out and it’s one of those shows where you think someone is a good guy and they are really bad…..or are they good? I don’t know!
The most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done is …
Ugh. I don’t know….I’m pretty boring. And I’m a rule follower. I did all the things growing up that teenagers do. Sneak out, wear a shorter skirt, rebel a little bit. For the most part I was a good kid. I never really got into trouble and the only person I’ve ever dated seriously is my husband…..so ya know. I’m just waiting for him to be spontaneous now 😉
I prefer DOGS/CATS because …
I used to be the biggest cat person ever. Our first baby was a cat named Holly and she was so sweet. She would lay with me in the bed every night and when Terence was in Iraq that cat was my companion. She got sick and sadly we had to give her away 🙁
Then we got our boxer, Rowen. He was a great dog too. Much more energy than a cat, but we had a lot of great memories with him too. Until we moved and had to sell him. He was such a loyal dog and so goofy!
I met my significant other …
You can read more about our love story HERE & HERE & HERE. But really we met through my sister who found a dorm mate of Terence’s online. We met at Baskin Robbins one night and he kept pursuing me….(that’s what I say) and we’ve been together ever since.
This was our first Christmas together in 2001. Can we say awkward family photo???
We’d love for you to join the link up too! It’s a great way to get to know each other 🙂
BBB-BBB-BATMAN!
Like….seriously this child won’t wear anything but this shirt. When we go out in public he tells every stranger “hey look at my Batman shirt!” It’s becoming an issue. He is refusing to take it off. Should I hide it? Should I run to Target & buy 5 more because God forbid he ever gets a hole in this one or a stain???
That’s going to be one tantrum I don’t want to be around for….
Batman boy has also been experiencing serious bed wetting issues lately. I’m so tired of washing sheets and picking up his clothes at school in a plastic baggy. Any pointers out there from Mom’s who have had bed wetters?
I got my Birchbox in for April. I liked it. I remember when I first joined like 3 years ago you’d get full sized samples of makeup. The silver eyeliner is cool-literally. I have problems with eyeliner pens you have to sharpen they always break off immediately and my sharpener just eats them up. Maybe it’s the user? Maybe the sharpener? I dunno…I’ve tried several different kinds and they all eat my eye pencils! Loved the nail polish and the night cream. Wrinkles BE GONE!
So… how’s your week going?
