Review: Vitacost Gummy Vitamins

I love the trend of gummy vitamins.  I don't know why it is so difficult for my husband and I to take our vitamins, but ever since we started taking gummy vitamins, we never forget!  Vitacost recently came out with some awesome gummies for our entire family, including multivitamins, Vitamin D3, and Omega-3.
I love that all of these vitamins are gummies and that they are reasonably priced. The Mulit-Vitamin Gummies for Adults come with 50 servings, so that is almost a two month supply for one of us. My husband and I both love them. My son is a big fan of the Multi-Vitamin Gummies for Kids. They come in a 150-count container and the serving size for my 3 year old is one gummy. It is a huge supply for only $11.49. The best part is that my son loves them and he happily eats them. I love that there is no fussing involved! He also likes the Omega-3 Gummies for Kids. There are 60 in this container and a serving size for him is one gummy. Again, it is so easy to get him to take a vitamin when it is in gummy form! Finally, my husband and I had a bone density test and both are a little lower than where we should be. We were both told to take more Vitamin D and Calcium. I love that this Vitamin D3 for Adults comes as a gummy! There are 60 gummies in the container and two are a serving size. 

Have you tried any of these trendy vitamin gummies?

Teen Wolf Season 2

Teen Wolf Season 2 on DVD
Release Date: May 21, 2013

The latest obsession that my husband and I share is a love for Teen Wolf Season 2. I love when seasons of an awesome show come out on DVD. I'm a big fan of the binge watch model where you get to watch multiple episodes and connect with the characters. I feel more into a show when I get to see multiple episodes within a short time than when episodes span months.  I won't spoil this one for you, but I will say that we really enjoyed it and that we are fans of the ending.  There are also a lot of great extras, including commentary, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and extended scenes.

Will Teen Wolf Season 2 be a good fit for a movie night with your family or friends?


The info below is from a press release:
"Teen Wolf" jumps full force into season two with even more suspenseful drama than season one.

Scott must keep his forbidden romance with Allison a secret while keeping his friends and family safe from new Alfa wolf Derek.

Review: Kidecals

Review: Kidecals
My little guy starts his new "early preschool" in June and we are getting ready! One item on our list was decals with his name to mark his items. I was lucky to receive the opportunity to try out some awesome decals from Kidecals. Check out the cute envelope that came in the mail.
When I opened the envelope, there were two sheets with tons of the little robot labels that I created. I love that these waterproof labels are dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer safe. They are so convenient to use. Check out my masterpiece below. We went with a little robot design with my son's name. The default background color was red, but I changed it to green. It was fun to customize.


Do you have a little one that needs labels for their belongings?

BuzzEgo is awesome for the news junky in me!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of buzzego for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am such a news junky. I love reading online news of every sort, including everything from CNN and BBC to TMZ. I can't get enough. While I say that I "can't get enough", I should clarify that I can't get enough "good quality" news.  There is so much information out there, but sifting through the relevant articles that you care about takes time. I had been using Google News, but it doesn't really seem to customize to things that I care about. After using it for over a year, I would think that it would stop giving me a Sports section since I never read sports. I would like more Entertainment articles and for them to appear higher on the page. Alas, I assume that it isn't set up to customize that closely to me.  Luckily, another company understands my needs. That is, BuzzEgo!  BuzzEgo is really cool because I created a character and then "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" articles so that they customize the articles to ones that I actually want to read. It's really cool!

It is super easy to use. First I created a character. As you could guess, I chose "Trendy and Fashionable". You can also choose more pandas if you want.  I signed in through Facebook which was nice so that I didn't have to create another userid and password to remember.

Once I logged in, it showed images and titles for articles. These were a really great fit for my interests. I went through and gave "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" based on my preferences.

I thought that it was cool that you could also "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" after reading the article too. For instance, I love Arrested Development, but I wanted to read the article before rating it.

I could spend hours on buzzego

Do you know someone that would love BuzzEgo?

Week 20: I graduated from Nutrisystem!

Nutrisystem: Week 20
I have officially completed my Nutrisystem journey and it feels wonderful. I am 25 pounds lighter than I was back in November!  It was tough in the beginning and I would say that it took about a month to really feel comfortable with my new habits, but then it became much easier and I felt better than ever. I followed the rules of eating healthy portions and complementing my meals with as many veggies as I wanted. I also enjoyed a lot of fruit.  This program rebooted me! I'm in a healthier and happier place.  Now that my Nutrisystem program ended, I feel that it did exactly what I needed. I lost a lot of weight and developed healthier habits that I think will be easy to maintain.  

I had always been thin until I had a baby. After my son was born, I did not maintain the healthiest lifestyle and I consistently gained weight. Even though I only gained about 25 pounds during pregnancy, I gained more than this post-pregnancy.  I'm so happy that Nutrisystem helped me to turn things around and that I was able to start decreasing my weight instead of increasing it. I'll always be grateful for the great experience that I had on Nutrisystem!

Final Check-in 
I lost TWO pounds over the past week. Here are my final stats:

My weight: 140

Weight lost so far: 25 pounds 


I lost 25 pounds on Nutrisystem and love the results.  Have you thought of trying Nutrisystem? 

Want to lose weight and get healthy on Nutrisystem? Join today by calling 1-888-853-4689 or visiting the Nutrisystem website.  



Disclosure: As a Nutrisystem Nation Blogger, I will receive a complementary four month program and food. All opinions are honest and my own.

Post Sesame Street Cereal

Have you noticed the new Post Sesame Street Cereal that comes in two flavors - A is for Apple and B is for Banana?  The boxes have either Elmo or Cookie Monster which my toddler loves. It's cute that he has trouble deciding between which one he wants - Elmo or Cookie Monster. I always end up giving him a little of both. This new cereal is specially formulated to meet a growing toddler’s needs, providing them with 2/3 of their daily whole grains serving with only 1 gram of sugar. Children will be familiar with their furry friends, Elmo and Cookie Monster, who are featured on the front of the box, and parents will feel good letting them eat it. Additionally, the fun X and O shapes are specifically designed for little fingers and the yummy cereal has a soft texture that melts away for safe and easy consumption.

Each box features 2 different educational activities per flavor for you and your little one to enjoy. You can have fun collecting them all!


Do you have a little one that will love this cereal?
