The Homeschool Mom Who Couldn’t – What to do when you run out of steam

April 29, 2019 By: amyswanderingcomment

The Homeschool Mom Who Couldn't - What to do when you run out of steam

Hi friends! You might have noticed that you haven’t heard much from me this past year. I usually take a few weeks off from blogging around the holidays, but those few weeks turned into many months!

About a year ago, it really hit me hard that my kids are getting older and we have precious little time left with all of them at home. I realized that the years were rapidly slipping through my fingers. I decided to be very intentional about our remaining time together and soak up every minute.

On top of that, I figured out that I have adrenal fatigue. The last 7 years of life have been extremely stressful. I did not have any systems in place to deal with it, so the overwhelming anxiety of it all left my body stripped of the defenses it needed to keep me healthy.

All of this meant BIG changes for me. I had to figure out how to get off the crazy train. I had to stop saying Yes to allllllllll the things and start saying Yes to what was best for my family. [Read more…]

Sneaky Vitamins for Picky Kids

October 9, 2016 By: amyswanderingcomment

I received this product for free from Moms Meet, May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own. This post contains affiliate links.

My 7-year old does not like taking vitamins. We’ve tried chewables, powdered drinks, and gummies (which she liked ok, but then we discovered they are terrible for teeth.) She will take them if I force the issue, but sometimes it’s just not worth the battle.

I recently came across MegaFood Kids Vitamin Boosters and my interest was piqued when I read that this vitamin powder could be mixed into juice or a smoothie. My daughter loves smoothies!

healthy-vitamins-picky-kids

I announced that I was going to make her a smoothie using the new vitamins that we received, and then immediately regretted telling her. What was I thinking? Now she was going to be eyeballing it for anything “weird”. I blended everything as usual, tossed in a scoop of MegaFoods Kids Daily Immune Booster, and handed it over.

To my surprise, she loved it!! She didn’t say a word about anything tasting different. I thought that maybe she forgot that I put it in there, but a few days later she asked for “another one of those vitamin smoothies”.

We try to eat a low sugar, whole foods diet, so it is very important to me to find vitamins that don’t have a bunch of sugar and fillers. MegaFoods Kids Vitamin Boosters have no sugars, sweeteners, flavorings, colorings or preservatives. They are made with organic ingredients that come straight from the farm.

Take a look at these healthy ingredients:

Kids Daily Booster – vitamins, organic orange, organic blueberry, organic cranberry, turmeric root

Kids Daily B-Centered – vitamins, bacopa, organic chamomile flower, lemon balm

Kids Daily Immune – vitamin c, organic oranges, organic blueberry, organic cranberry, astragalus root, echinacea

I use the toss-it-in method so I don’t know measurements, but here are the ingredients for Sweetpea’s favorite smoothie. I’ll measure the next time we make it and do an update. If you make smoothies often, I highly recommend the NutriBullet. We’ve had ours for about 3 years and use it several times a week. It is so much easier than using a regular blender.

Maintain Your Weight Through the Holidays with Calorease {Review}

October 20, 2013 By: amyswanderingcomment

calorease review

October is the start of birthday season in our house – four kids in six weeks. That adds up to lots of decadent cake and dining out. Then comes Thanksgiving with the dressing and the pies. And Christmas? It gets a whole month of delicousness! It is hard to ring in the new year without a couple of extra pounds.

I was recently introduced to Calorease, a dietary supplement to help manage your weight. I am not about to pop a scary pill to lose weight, so I did a little research before agreeing to a Moms Meet review. The active ingredient in Calorease is FBCx. It is a naturally sourced soluble fiber derived from grain, with no genetically modified components. It is stimulant free and gluten free. Calorease does not contain lactose, yeast, wheat, sugar, salt, egg, soy, dairy, artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives.

calorease-product

Calorease works by binding dietary fat and flushing it out of the body. Taking two tablets with three healthy meals a day makes it possible to lose up to a dress size in a month.

I decided to do a little 3-week experiment and see just how well this product works. For the first two weeks, I took the tablets only when eating foods high in fat. This included birthday meals and an amazing triple brownie cake. For the third week, I took the tablets with one or two meals every day. I made no other changes to my routine (because obviously I would have lost weight had I switched from an occasional walk on the beach to power walking several miles a day!). I must say I was shocked to lose almost three pounds!

I realize that weight lost without any real effort is weight that will eventually show back up, but it is so encouraging to see that scale move! I am excited about trying out Calorease while eating healthy and adding in more exercise. I will definitely continue this supplement through the holiday season and want to leave those extra pounds in 2013!

A 90-count package of Caloraese is $29.99, but I have a coupon for you!!

Use the code 4MOMS and buy it for only $14.99, a 50% discount!

(Calorease is also sold at GNC, but the coupon code is only for the Calorease website)

Follow Calorease on Facebook to get updates on the latest offers!

Your turn: Do you have any tips for maintaining your weight during the holidays?
