My Lil LoveBug!

This post is sponsored by LoveBug Probiotics.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Keeping your little ones and YOURSELF well during this season is sometimes hard to do…or even think about.  I have been taking a probiotic for years now and it’s the easiest part of my morning routine.  Probiotics promote a healthy balance of gut bacteria and can help promote weight loss, digestive health, immune function.  If you haven’t been adding a probiotic to your daily diet, then maybe it’s time to start!  What have you got to lose besides feeling your best right?

Here’s my little love bug…gosh I would do anything for this kiddo!

I take LoveBug Probiotics and here’s why:

  • LoveBug® Probiotics is a premium line of award-winning probiotics for the whole family
  • With a patented delivery technology, LoveBug® Probiotics are 15x more effective in delivering the microorganisms to the digestive tract than other leading probiotics
  • LoveBug® Probiotics were developed by a mom for moms
  • Rooted in science, LoveBug Probiotics were developed in partnership with internationally recognized doctors and scientists
  • LoveBug® created the first staged probiotic for babies specifically designed to support their developing microbiomes

I’ve been adding The Skinny probiotic to my breakfast every day. It has a proprietary blend of eight probiotic strains, Here’s the Skinny repopulates your microbiome to streamline digestive function, quell sensitive stomachs, improve energy levels and elevate mood.

I also give Connor the Little Ones probiotic and it’s super easy for him to take.  This kid has a gag reflex like something terrible…and he has NO problems swallowing these!  Amen!  Little Ones probiotic is formulated to populate kids’ guts with beneficial bacteria which is critical for their lifelong physical health and mental well-being.

So, I’m curious…do you take a probiotic?  What benefits have you seen while taking one?  I’ve been taking LoveBug probiotics for the last couple of weeks, I always try to really TRY products out before I recommend them to y’all and I can honestly say I’ve felt good and my gut is doing great!

I’m so excited for Valentine’s day coming up!  It’s one of my favorite holidays 🙂  This “Be Mine” sweater from Target is a favorite find this season.  Muah!

Will you be my Galentine? Meetup + Fun Times at Dwell


A couple of weeks ago my little family visited a coffee shop called “DWELL” in Burleson, TX. I’m always up for visiting new places…especially when they involve coffee.  There is an awesome mural right next door of a Cowboy and it was super cool!

Dwell is located in downtown Burleson really close to Babe’s Chicken.  If you’re familiar with the area then you know exactly where that is.

The atmosphere inside Dwell is so cozy and inviting with the wood planked walls, eclectic picture frames, and comfy seating.

There’s the man himself…Jeff!!!  He and his wife are the NICEST people ever and can pretty much whip up anything you can imagine.  

They make AMAZING biscuits that come in all different flavors from savory to sweet.  The flavors change seasonally.  You can order anything from biscuits and gravy to a biscuit with Nutella, sliced strawberries & whip cream.  I think I am going to try something sweet next time!  The biscuits are melt in your mouth good.

After we devoured our biscuits I was talking to Jeff about different coffee and espresso drinks.  At some point in the conversation I mentioned wanting to try a “glitter latte” I had seen a video of and it was sooooo pretty!  I basically love anything that sparkles.  Ha!  Much to my surprise Jeff said “Well, we have some glitter in the back I can make you one of those.”  I meeeeaaan…..seriously!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen…I give you the Dwell glitter latte….

Talk about a Caffeine Queen’s dream right there!

Terence loved his latte as well….smooth as BUTTAH!  He’s also sipping on my absolute favorite drink…I’ll tell you about that in a minute!

I also had my favorite iced coffee beverage, an iced caramel macchiatto.  It was fabulous!

Connor enjoying is biscuit and chocolate milk 🙂

Okay, so THIS was my FAVORITE thing ever….and this also came up in conversation when I said a red velvet latte would be perfect for Valentine’s Day.  I’ve never had one, but again I’ve always wanted to try one.  Jeff said “Oh we can make you a red velvet latte too!”  I was literally beside myself because not only did I get to try a glitter latte, but a red velvet latte TOO!  It did not disappoint and I can’t wait to go back and get another one.  I’m seriously having dreams about this red velvet latte…it was that good!

I will probably pick up this shirt too…it’s so cute and entirely too accurate for my life.  Ha ha!  I love to cuddle and I obviously love coffee soooooo…..

SO…Let’s chat about a fun event coming up on February 13th!  I’m going to be there and would love to meet you too!  We can chit-chat and mingle over a red velvet latte and have some fun girl time <3

Thank you Dwell coffee for making all this gals coffee dreams come true!  BEST.DAY.EVER.

Winter Skin Relief Day with CeraVe!

This post has been sponsored by CeraVe®. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

I live in Texas, and for the majority of the year we have pretty mild temps.  Lately though we’ve had a cold front come through and my skin is pretty much in shock!  Winter Skin Relief Day was January 8th and I was invited to try out CeraVe® skincare and tell all of you lovelies about it!

With the dropping temperatures outside and rising thermostats inside the amount of moisture in the air is zapped, and our skin is first to notice. As winter kicks into high gear, Winter Skin Relief Day reminds us of all the ways we can protect our skin under the harshest elements.

I’ve been using the CeraVe® Healing Ointment (National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance™) and so far I’m loving it.  I specifically use it the heels of my feet which for some reason get really dry.  It provides intense, long-lasting moisturization.  Combined with a non-greasy gentle formula, CeraVe® Healing Ointment soothes, temporarily protects and helps to relieve dry, chapped and chafed skin caused by the colder air. SERIOUSLY IT’S NOT GREASY!  

 

Cleanse, hydrate and restore and protect your skin with CeraVe® Hydrating Facial Cleanser, which contains hyaluronic acid to help retain skin’s natural moisture while removing dirt, oil and makeup.

Start your day with CeraVe® Skin Renewing Day Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen, designed to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.  I’m heading towards the big 4-0 so anything with anti-wrinkle and SPF is my best friend!

Get your beauty sleep with CeraVe® Skin Renewing Night Cream, which also contains hyaluronic acid, ultimately helping reduce the look of tired skin and supporting skin elasticity.

So far I am really loving this skin care line.  Your skin is your largest organ, so don’t forget to take good care of it.  Developed with dermatologists, CeraVe is the first and only brand to offer a complete line of advanced skincare products that contain an exclusive combination of ceramides 1, 3 and 6-11. What are ceramides? The glue that holds skin cells together, ceramides keep moisture in and irritants out while restoring your natural skin.  CeraVe products use patented MVE technology that releases ingredients slowly over 24 hours, allowing them to absorb into the skin to hydrate and nourish, as well as restore and lock in moisture to protect your skin.  To learn more about CeraVe visit HERE.

Crazy Good Coffee for $1.00…SAY “WHAAAAAT????”

This post is sponsored by RaceTrac.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Everyone knows I’m the “Coffee Queen”.  That’s pretty much how this blog got her name…because without coffee I’m only part human….am I right?  Coffee is a daily staple in my life and I know it is in so many of you as well.

I have a mean coffee habit and I love to try ALL kinds of coffee.  If someone wants to offer me a cup of coffee my answer is “Where, when, and what kind?”

So when I found out that RaceTrac is offering any size coffee for only $1.00 for the entire month of January I just couldn’t help but spill the beans to EVERYONE!!!

Okay, so let me show you how fabulous RaceTrac’s coffee bar is, you have to see it to believe it.  You get ALL of this for only $1 BUCK!

The coffee bar is so need and tidy too!  No matter what kind of coffee you like, RaceTrac has it…in pretty much every flavor.

Instant Iced Coffee

Or a “Crazy Good” Latte!  The lattes come in 10 different flavors to choose from.  I love the hazelnut myself.

Small, Medium, or Large – ANY size and it’s only $1.00!  With those savings you can buy the whole office coffee and become everyone’s new bestie 😉

RaceTrac offers six blends of fresh brewed coffee plus plenty of add-ins to make a specialty brew.

All the fixins’ to add to your coffee are at RaceTrac too!  All different kinds of sweeteners, creamers, and add-ins.

RaceTrac even has a chilled fresh cream machine.  I love this, it’s great to have options.

My favorite flavor is hazelnut.  Honestly y’all for a $1.00 a day at RaceTrac I could try every kind of coffee for the month and mix and match flavors.  I could buy 30 cups of coffee for what I would spend on a few trips at those fancy cafes.  And guess what???  I didn’t miss a thing!  My hazelnut latte was indeed crazy good and I will definitely be going back to RaceTrac.  My hubby and I have decided this is the year we are going to take a really nice vacation, of course he knows my expensive coffee habit and we just had the discussion that I needed to cut back and save where I could.  WELL….there you go!!!  I’m on the right track with RaceTrac!

Why not add a little more hazelnut?  All the coffee fixins’ are free, so I can be my own barista and mix whatever my heart desires.

Like I was saying…do you want to be the office hero?  They have biscotti, fancy syrups, and drink trays for you too!

Everything is right at your fingertips.  So if you are a coffee lover like me…well…this is basically paradise.

Happy coffee girl right here 🙂  Don’t forget to stop into RaceTrac this month at get your $1.00 cup of coffee.  Just think of the savings (which is just a bonus really because the coffee is so good I would go ANYWAY!)

So, what are you waiting for?  Go getcha some good coffee and save some MONEY HONEY!!!  This is the year to set goals, have a little extra, & live your best life….and you don’t have to sacrifice good tasting coffee to do that.

From one Coffee Diva Mother Lover to another….xo- Becky with the good coffee 😉

Food for thought…

Celebrating the Holidays at Outback Steakhouse

This post is sponsored by Outback.  All opinions are my own.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I’m excited to start 2018!  I’ll do a Christmas re-cap soon 🙂

Today let’s talk about FOOD!!!  During the holidays food is a subject I like to indulge in myself.  If you ask my husband where his favorite place to eat is he will say Outback Steakhouse every time.  We’ve been married over 16 years now and the one thing that hasn’t change is his love for Outback, specifically the steaks and ranch dressing.

I was super excited to learn that a shiny brand new Outback Steakhouse was opening in Euless, TX so close to us!  We visited for the first time with our Grana and Pop and it was sooooooo good y’all!

The lobby is modern and stylish (I love the hanging light fixtures).  It also offers mates who are waiting a refreshing beverage.

The new Outback Steakhouse® is located at 2601 State Highway 121.

It is part of the huge new development going in near Glade Parks, so you have great shopping and dining all in one place!

We sure did enjoy our time with Grana and Pop!

We got a gift card to an escape room.  I’ve always wanted to do one of those and I’m excited to see if we can ESCAPE!

The Outback has a ton of new menu items right now, as well as some seasonal favorites.  That BIG Chocolate Cake…oh my!

Great cozy atmosphere

I tried the Gingerbread Martini and it was SOOOO good!  I’ll definitely be coming back for that one.

Okay, so I love the Outback Onion Blossom….and now they have the Onion Petals.  They are just as good if you have that craving, but don’t want the entire onion.  We love to dip ours in ranch.  The Outback’s ranch dressing is AMAZING y’all!

Nothing fills you up better than a steak and baked potato.

I took pictures of all of our meals and the veggies on my Mother-in-Law’s plate were delicious.

I ordered a side of the skillet mac n’ cheese.  Anything with cheese and spiral noodles….mmmmkay!!!!

My delicious chicken.  Outback seriously has the BEST chicken ever!

This was really cool.  If you have a big party of people and need extra seating these tables can join together to accommodate a ton of people.  You can basically create your own table size because the entire thing is on rails.  That is GENIUS!  

There is plenty of seating without feeling too crowded.  I loved the low lighting and the rustic atmosphere.  I’m so happy this is now in our home town and we can’t wait to go back for more Outback!  I’ve loved seeing out Outback has evolved over the years, as well as keeping our favorites in mind.

Guests at the new Outback will be able to enjoy signature grilled steaks, chicken and seafood entrees, and the Bloomin’ Onion in a restaurant boasting the chain’s new “Modern Australia” design, with decor that mirrors the indigenous flora and fauna, adventure, geography and leisure of modern-day Australia. 

The bar area.  Great for happy hour or watching a big game.

Being an Army brat and then marrying into the Air Force I was so happy to see this on our table.  The Outback Steakhouse is partnering with Operation Homefront to help our military and veterans.  You can add $1 to your check after your meal or a $5 donation goes to help a military family by providing a meal this holiday season!

The Outback Steakhouse would be a great place to ring in 2018!  Another Gingerbread Martini might be in order 😉

Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This…

This post has been sponsored by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

Oh yes…this week has been a doozy.  Connor was sent home from school with fever a couple of weeks ago & a sore throat.  Last night he woke up at 2 am and threw up all in his bed.  UGH!!!  I can basically do anything but throw up.  I mean let’s get real Moms…even if it’s your own kid it’s hard to take.

Nobody wants that business up in their house and I try to zap it before it reaches all of us. It’s also a good idea to stock up on medicines for your kiddos because the flu and strep throat are among us folks!  The minute I see the symptoms I start to fight them right away.

Also, if you have a health savings account remember to spend that money before the year ends!  You can stock up and fill your medicine cabinet for the winter.  I’m the worst about letting things expire and I definitely don’t want that when it comes to treating sickness in our household.

My medicine cabinet has these go-to meds in there at all times:

  • Children’s Dimetapp® Cold & Cough
  • Children’s Robitussin ® DM Day/Night Pack
  • Children’s Advil® Suspension

This Children’s Robitussin® DM Day/Night Pack is formulated just for kids.  The non-drowsy daytime formula helps break up chest congestion, while the long-acting nighttime formula relieves coughs and runny noses to help kids get the rest they need.

Have you been stricken with sickness yet this season?  If so, go check out the Sick Just Got Real website & Facebook page for more information and tips to keep your home germ free.

Celebrate the Holidays with Little Bites + Enter to WIN!!!

This post is sponsored by Little Bites.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Hey Y’all!  How’s the holiday season going for everyone?  It’s been crazy busy around our house.  I was going to do a Christmas tour of our home, does anyone do those anymore?  Still, I love seeing everyone’s Christmas decor!

I can’t believe we have already reached the end of 2017!  We just celebrated Thanksgiving right?  Maybe it’s me, or the 80 degree weather we’ve been having in Texas, but I’m all messed up for the holidays!  I can’t decide to bust out my sweaters or keep my t-shirts out.

Okay, so now that we’ve gotten through Thanksgiving & the Christmas festivities have begun….let’s talk CHRISTMAS FOOD!

I am so glad it’s officially eggnog latte season, and you know what goes great with an eggnog latte???  A warm Limited Edition Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Butter Cookie Muffin! I did say I warm them up, because they are really good that way, but I also pack them in Connor’s lunch or for an after school snack.

These little muffins are so easy to pack and grab on the go!

Little Bites are pretty much a staple in our house.  Every time we go to the grocery store we pick up a few boxes.  Connor’s school also collects Little Bites wrappers for cash donations to his school.  They will also donate to a non-profit or charitable organization of your choice.

Little Bites have less than 200 calories per pouch, Little Bites® Butter Cookie Muffins never contain high fructose corn syrup or trans-fat.  That’s a win/win snack in my opinion!  They aren’t just for your kiddos either, they are great for holiday gatherings and Moms who enjoy an eggnog latte...just saying.
