Root Beer Pulled Pork

May 21, 2013 By Leave a Comment

My absolute favorite way to make pulled pork is in the crock pot. With a can of rootbeer.

Yup! You heard that right. I absolutely love that I can realize that I forgot to pull meat out of the freezer the night before, grab a pork loin, put it in the crock pot with a can of root beer and just let it simmer all day for a delicious and tasty meal in the evening.

What makes them even better? Some amazingly fresh and yeasty homemade hamburger buns!

If you haven’t already tried this way of cooking your pulled pork then you need to! It’s the perfect dish for the coming summer months.

Minnie Mouse Fun with Glidden Disney Paint #DisneyPaintMom

Minnie Mouse Fun with Glidden Disney Paint - final

With my daughter and son sharing a room in our small home it’s hard to find a balance between the girly, princess world my daughter is living in and the bug-filled, dino crazy world my son loves. I thought I found a great balance when I transformed their room into a woodsy Forrest Friends theme but it wasn’t enough for my daughter.

Luckily Glidden had reached out to ask if I could head to Walmart and try out the new Glidden Disney Paint line. I happily accepted as our family loves Disney and was excited to find something that would work with our existing design but be girly enough for my daughter.

Who knew that a little paint, some sparkle, and Minnie decals would change my daughter’s side of the room into the perfect Minnie Mouse playhouse.

Finding Comfort with the Mombo™ Nursing Pillow + a Giveaway!

May 18, 2013 By 8 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony. All opinions are 100% mine.

As a nursing mom (yes, I’m still nursing my 2 1/2 year old) I know the importance of a good nursing pillow when my children were infants. I don’t think I could have survived the first few months without one. And while I’m not currently using a nursing pillow, a lot of the moms in my playgroup are.

When I was asked to sample the mombo™ nursing pillow I knew my playgroup would be excited. Especially after an influx of new little ones to our group. Having an extra nursing pillow around at playdates is a relief to the moms who bring their nurslings along.

Weight Loss the Right Way with Nutrisystem #NSNation #Spon

May 17, 2013 By 10 Comments

I was selected to participate in the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program. I will be receiving free food and weight loss support in exchange for my participation in the #NSNation program.

Nutrisystem Weight Loss Week 8

I cannot believe it. 8 weeks on Nutrisystem and I’m 15 pounds lighter! I truly feel as if I’m succeeding at weight loss the right way.

With Mother’s Day this past weekend and my monthly visitor coming into town I thought for sure that my weight would be up. And for a while there it was. Yes… I admit that I’m a daily weigher. But with the exercising, eating on plan, and drinking plenty of water I succeeded in losing another 1.3 pounds this week.

I am also getting closer to a the end of my 6 Week Challenge at the YMCA and will have my final weigh in next week! Lets cross our fingers that my team wins because I could surely use the $50 credit they award each member of the winning team.

I’m planning on continuing the team training with my personal trainer and some of the awesome women I’ve met along the way until the next team challenge.
