Welch's Grape Juice Review


So with the bzzagent I got a chance to review and taste an amazing Welch's grape juice.  My family and I were already pretty fond of the grape juice already especially there is no sugar added.

The taste is amazing and the health benefits are even more amazing 

Here are some examples:
  1. 100% Grape Juice can help support heart health
  2. Concord grapes have a lot of the same heart health benefits as red wine (you hear that wine drinkers?)
  3. It promotes healthy circulation 
So there you have it it taste great and fresh off the vine and there are great healthy benefits if you cannot drink wine or don't like wine. 

So drink your grape juice it is a perfect thing to bring to the beach, shopping, gym, or just drink it for breakfast, whatever floats your boat.

Turning 30




In about 2 months will be the end of my life, I will start to shrivel, my bones will break and I will be old.....ok a little over dramatic but I will be 30.....

As you can tell I am not excited.  I have always been a little scared about turning 30 I mean I know it is just another number but hell I will no longer be in my late 20s and I will also now be checking the box that says 30-50! 

I just think of my life in the last 10 years and all I do is think of my three little girls, other than that there is nothing.  I am a stay at home mom and I have a hard time thinking of anything important I have accomplished in 10 years and I cannot think of much except those three things.  Don't get me wrong those three little girls are my life and I would never trade them in but I am almost 30 and have never
  • Owned a home
  • Gotten Married
  • Gone to collage
  • be stupid

Ok the last one doesn't make any sense but I had my oldest 2 months out of high school and I had to grow up fast. I didn't pawn her off with my mother to go to the bars or go hang out with my friends because at that time I was left alone and all my friends ditched me.  I stayed home and became a mom and a spouse.  I was learning how to work, take care of a family and pay bills, it was not easy.  It is not like I want to go out and be stupid and I absolutely hate bars and hate drinking, I just didn't get to be 19 or 21.  I have been 30 for 21 years.........

So I am going to cross out the be stupid one because now that just sounds stupid, I can still be stupid at 44 when all my kids are out of the house,right?

Own a home, it will come in time right?

Getting married? I always thought I would have this beautiful small wedding waaaaaaay before I turned 30 but the older I have been getting weddings are not so much of a big deal and I honestly really don't see the point in it anymore.  I have been in the same relationship for so long and had 3 children, what is the harm of not being married?  I am over the idea but if I ever do get married it would be for the girls to see, nothing for me.

and going to college I crossed that out because at 30 I will be starting college in the fall of 2016, pretty exciting stuff!  I decided to go back because I wanted to make something for myself.  The idea was to always go back to work when the girls were in school full time and now that my youngest is in pre school this year it made me think that hey I just don't want to stand behind a register or be a waitress not like there is something wrong with that.  I just wanted something bigger, I wanted to actually help out my household income and help give better things to the girls.  So here I am starting college and when my youngest starts first grade I will hopefully start my new job.  Super exciting stuff I tell ya.

So yes 30 is scary for me, maybe it is scary because I know there are so many changes that are bound to happen and I don't do to well with change.  I am a person that enjoys my comfort zone even if I hate it.  Bad thing I know but change is good so I have to keep telling myself that.

So on June 9th I am going to make my giant Oatmeal Cream Pie and sit in bed, eat, cry and watch Serendipity all day. I can do that because all my kids will be at school and I need the let me be depressed for just one day


and once I am done sulking I will lose 20 lbs well because I want to start my 30s off healthy and live another 30 years.

In the end I have loved my 30 years, I love the outcome of it so far even though it was never what I had planned.  I have loved being a mom to 3 amazing little girls and being able to raise them at home.   I cannot wait to see what the next 30 has in store.

I am back

Hey all!  I have been gone for a long while but I am fully back and on to ranting and talking about stupid things that you might find interesting.  I got my new computer!!! YAY!! Finally and I love it.  It brings me back to blogging but it also brings to the fact that I am going back to school in there fall.  30 years old and college here I come!  I am excited but it will be very to juggle school, kids and family life It might be even more interesting when I start a job in 2 years......

Any ways that is the quick jest of it all, prepare for post galore.

A simple guide to spring cleaning


I see a lot of spring cleaning guides around this time of year that are so complicated and I just don't understand how cleaning can be such a task.  So here is my list and here is how I spring clean my home.

First step, open your windows!  Ahhhhhhh, feels nice doesn't it?  Let that fresh air come and let it swift its way through out your home.  Now you are ready to clean.

Rule number one:  One room a day.  That is right, do not over do yourself and try and spring clean your whole home in one day. One room at a time and it usually lasts a week.

Rule number two: Everything has a place.  While you are cleaning your house and you find something you just end up throwing on the counter top or in a drawer.  Throw it is the trash or get rid of it.  If you don't have a place for an item you don't need it.  This helps eliminate clutter. 

Rule number three:  Always go and straighten up the rooms you did the day before to help keep it spotless and clean.

The last baby


We decided a while ago that Lauren would be our last child but it is making me sad.  She is getting to that stage where she isn't looking like a baby anymore.  She is big, she is talking, she is laughing and being goofy.  She is just big.

So I sat down and thought about it maybe it would be nice to have a 4th, maybe a boy, smell a newborn again, watch them grow all over again it would be amazing.  I love babies!!

But then I thought, I only have 3 bedrooms and we don't plan n moving for another 3-5 years, a fourth means another set of winter and summer clothing, boots, hats, snow pants, coats, shoes, Christmas presents, birthday, food budget and more.  I know that may all seem petty but when you have 3 girls that will be on their periods in years to come and shoes,make up and clothing alone, girls are expensive.

I also cannot wait to go on vacation with all the girls, go camping, go hiking, go canoeing and more.  

So them growing up will be fun also because we can finally make memories, finally have a fun outing and more.

I will miss the learning stages, the cute baby talk, the cuddling,the hugs and kisses because I know soon they will turn into yelling, eye rolling arguing and fun family memories.

J'Adore VoxBox


So I received another voxbox and I am finally getting around to blog about it!

Hershey Kisses were gone before I could even touch them haha.  Who doesn't love Hershey kisses?   I guess that is why my 3 kids and my hubby had a chance to eat them before I could touch them.  I wanted to bake with some one them darn it! 


Frizz Ease!  I am in love with product! Now as you see before my hair isn't curly it is more frizzy and semi wavy but all you do is spray it on your hair while wet, blow dry and then straighten and it is suppose to stay straight for 3 days.  My hair is very greasy so I need to wash my hair daily but I stuck it out and got to day 2 and my hair still looked amazing!  I cannot tell you how it works on someone with curly hair but I am in love with this product and already bought myself another bottle for soon!


Red Rose Tea.  I myself am a tea person, I drink tea in the morning, noon and night it is my choice of drink.  The tea is good but it is to sweet for me.  The flavors I got was Cream Caramel and Lemon Chiffon and I ended up giving them to my kids who sucked them right down.  It was just like drinking melted caramel and a lemon meringue pie.  I have a horrible sweet tooth but I just don't like my tea super sweet. So if you like sweet drinks you will love this tea.

I am in love with the kiss eyelashes!! I got "shy" and they are gorgeous and natural looking. They were super easy to put on and this was actually my first time using and putting on false eye lashes.  So I do recommend this for every one to use. They are amazing


I didn't get a photo of me in the clay mask but I love it.

Here is what the website said
Treat your skin to deep cleansing with this clay mask. Willowbark helps draw out oil and other impurities without over drying the skin. Designed for use on normal skin, the unscented, hypo-allergenic formula prevents irritation. The hydrating properties of this mask leave skin feeling clearer, softer, smoother and less oily. Treat yourself to a great product!

And they were right!  My skin feels amazing, it is not to heavy and it made my oily skin less oily and with the last week of using it my pores have shrunk and my skin feels smooth and overall looks better


These are my reviews and I have received all products complimentary from Influcenster.
