SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza- Southlake, TX – Come Join the Free Bike Ride Event for Kids

Don’t be a fool this April 1st – Come to SPIN! Neopolitan Pizza in Southlake, TX! 

When my sister was in town last week we visited SPIN! Pizza and had a blast!  We love to eat out and obviously the boys love Pizza.  

Everything at SPIN! Pizza is baked in ONE place- the wood fire pizza oven.  The dough is hand-spun and topped with fresh ingredients.  It was delicious.  Feast your eyes below…

We enjoyed an appetizer of flatbread served with 3 dips- Lemon Ricotta, Red Pepper, and White Bean Hummus.

The guys loved this stuffed meatball.

Bonnie and I enjoyed the salads too!  They were light and fresh on a hot day 🙂

Then the PIZZA came!!!  Delicious wood fired pizza straight from the oven!

Here is my BBQ Chicken Pizza.

Bonnie ordered the Primavera Pizza.  All of the pizzas were delish!

SPIN! Pizza also has a great happy hour every day from 3-6pm.  Tuesday nights they have $2 craft pints as well.  

Here is my brother in law Vinny (who is a total foodie) enjoying his giant meat ball.

The guys in the kitchen preparing pizza dough.  I would totally drop that…it probably takes practice right? Lol!

My sweet nephew Jarrett who loves anything with cheese.

So many different drink options….

Let’s not forget about dessert shall we?  SPIN! Gelato is made with All Natural Ingredients and comes in so many flavors.

I tried the pumpkin and it was DIVINE!!!

The boys eating their gelato outside on the patio.  Perfect for happy hours after work this summer or messy kiddos.

My HAPPY HOUR beverage of choice is the Sangria.  I probably could have drank a pitcher of this…it was that good!  So light and refreshing!

My hubby, Connor, me, Jarrett, Bonnie, and Vinny.  I miss them all so much already!

It’s moments like these that make memories and we are so thankful to SPIN! Pizza for hosting us and serving us the most delicious food.  I’m even more thankful it’s only 10 minutes from my house! Ha ha!!!

If you haven’t had the chance to visit SPIN!

Hair, Skin, & Nails on POINT with Nature Made + Enter to WIN!

This post was sponsored by Nature Made as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Good morning!!!  Well, it’s a new day and the sun is shining…and by that I mean it was literally 90 degrees yesterday.  I cannot believe it’s already getting so hot outside!  We let the boys get in the pool this weekend and summer is right around the corner.  You know what I think about when I hear “summer”???  SKIN!!!  Lots of it…as in I have to show my skin more.  Sigh….

As I’ve gotten older and I’m about to venture into the “late thirties” *shutter* taking care of my skin has been more of a priority.  I’ve been taking vitamins to help my hair, skin, and nails for years and I can definitely tell they make a difference.  I want to be around for a long time and watch Connor grown up, so taking those little extra steps now to ensure better health make me feel a bit better.

Nature Made® Hair, Skin, and Nails Vitamins are an easy way to ensure I’m taking care of myself.  I wish I could say I naturally had beautiful hair, skin, and nails…but I don’t.  I know a healthy amount of biotin helps your hair, skin, and nails grow strong.   My hairdresser recommendeds I take something with biotin to help and it truly has.  I also try to drink a lot of water during the day and stay away from carbonated drinks.

I’ve trusted Nature Made® Vitamins since I was a teenager and I’ve never been disappointed.  I picked mine up at my local Walmart.  Nature Made® Vitamins actively pursue health and wellness through product innovations, quality ingredients and being #1 Pharmacist Recommended so they can help you reach your health goals, little by little, every day. 

I know every little thing I do today can help me have a better tomorrow.  Let’s face it I like to have fun and I want to be able to stay active and HAVE FUN for years to come.

Let the Good Times Roll at the DFW Auto Show with Capital One!

Do you remember buying your first car y’all?  I do…

Well, actually I had to share my first car with my twin sister because we pretty much shared everything!  We didn’t get separate cars until college. I remember what a HUGE deal it was to get a car & there’s just something about having your own set of wheels that says “I’m all grown up”.

Well, at least we thought we were.  I’ll take you down memory lane here…check out our first car the Geo Prism.   She was a good one 🙂  Thankfully we didn’t fight too much over sharing a car because we went to school together and worked at the same place.

Now almost twenty years later our lives have taken us down different paths and we’ve learned money doesn’t grow on trees!  Having a car is a privilege, not a right.  I miss living at home & I sure do miss when we could fill up that tank for $5 dollars.

That’s the thing about growing up…you learn responsibility and how to take care of yourself.  Now Bonnie and I live in separate states.  She’s back home in Arkansas and I moved to the Dallas area.  I will say the one thing you must have in the metroplex is a reliable CAR!  You may find yourself asking questions like “How do I even start the car buying process” or “How much can I afford?”  Thanks to Capital One® Auto Navigator® you can go through the process of pre-qualifying for a Capital One Auto Loan in the comfort of your own home.

With the Capital One® Auto Navigator® website you can pre-qualify for auto financing and see their financing terms before visiting a dealer.

I recently went through the process of prequalifying using the Capital One® Auto Navigator® it took less than TWO minutes to complete the entire thing!

Look and see what cars are out there from over 12,000 participating dealers across the country, including in your area.  You are sure to find something!

Customize your options:

This process has absolutely no impact to your credit score.

You can also print out a pre-approval letter when you are ready to go to the dealership!  It’s so easy and it takes hardly any time.  I had a tougher time deciding what car to look for than filling out the Capital One® Auto Navigator® process.  You can also see your personalized APR and monthly payment on each car once you pre-qualify for financing. Then build an offer and see how your financing terms change.

DFW AUTO SHOW!!!

Capital One is a sponsor at the DFW Auto Show this year and THIS CHICK will be going for the 3rd year in a row!  I always have so much fun at the DFW Auto Show and you better believe I come home wanting a brand new car every single time!

If you get the chance to attend the DFW Auto Show do it!  You can see, touch, and even sit in the cars!  Then you’ll know exactly what car you want and you can come home to see if you qualify for it.

The DFW Auto Show is one of the largest new car and truck shows in the nation – and local car enthusiasts, families and potential buyers flock to see the latest and greatest car styles, models, trends and technology.

The Show is open to the public from March 22-26, 2017

Capital One will show attendees how they’ve developed Auto Navigator and invite all of you to join them in the Capital One® Auto Navigator® Garage located in Hall F of the Show. Car enthusiasts and potential car buyers can learn more about how they can find and finance the car of their dreams with Capital One® Auto Navigator®.

On Saturday and Sunday (March 25-26), Chip Foose, a well-known automobile designer and industry innovator, will be at the Capital One® Auto Navigator® Garage to meet with fans and talk about the latest and greatest in the auto industry – including car financing.

Throughout the Show, attendees can visit the Capital One® Auto Navigator® Garage where they’ll have a chance to see Auto Navigator website demos, engage in an interactive photo booth, and see a Chip Foose-custom designed car.

For more information about the Capital One Auto Navigator Garage, visit Capital One’s Facebook page.

Love your Little Ones with Little Bites + Enter to WIN! #LoveLittleBites

Entenmann’s® Little Bites® provided me with coupons & a gift card so I could share my thoughts about NEW Entenmann’s® Little Bites®.  All opinions are my own.

This is my life every day after school…“Mom I’m so hungry!!!”  If this is YOU then honey let me tell you about these new delicious snacks from Entenmann’s® Little Bites®.  We got three different kinds to try and of course being my child Connor favors the chocolate and chocolate chip.

Not only are these Little Bites delicious but they also contain no high fructose corn syrup, no trans fat, and REAL chocolate cocoa!

The little packages are perfect for snack time or an after school pick me up.  Now days it’s so hard to send things to school because everything is monitored.  I know at Connor’s school you can’t bring anything that isn’t pre-packaged with the ingredients on each item to hand out to students.  His birthday is next month and I think the Chocolate & Vanilla Party Cakes will make a great classroom treat!

Available nationwide for a limited time only from 1/14/17 to 5/20/17

Perfect little bite sized cakes.  And they have sprinkles!!!

As you can see they are Connor approved!

His school is also collecting the wrappers after the kids are done and they are worth money for his school.  You can find more out about that program HERE.  We’ve back to the store and have got at least 10 more boxes – I really hope they keep this on the market!

You can also download some very cute Valentine’s to go with your Entenmann’s® Little Bites® HERE.

Christmas is over, yet the chill in the air lingers on.  We actually had snow a few weeks ago here in Texas!  I promise I will recap our Christmas on the blog soon…it is coming!  I’ve just been busy with, well, life.  We’ve had sick days and sinus days and everything that comes with the season.  I have always had really dry lips, so I always try to use extra moisturizer in the winter.
