Starbucks Giveaway+I’m On Vacay… #Contest #Giveaway
So I’m headed off to the big wedding tomorrow and I’m SO excited! Get ready for a super fab recap when we get back. I didn’t want to leave y’all without sharing something I’m super proud to be a part of.
Everyone that has been reading this blog knows I am a super duper coffee freaky deeky addict. Working a full-time job, being a wife, mom, and having OCD tendencies that turn me into a clean freak or screaming “NO WIRE HANGERS” at everyone…..is not good.
No…I’m not that bad??? Right?
Anyway, last week I joined a program called Thrive. I’ve only been using these amazing new products for a few days and have already seen a significant increase in my energy level and overall well-being
I have way more energy and I just feel better… And I just started using them. I was hesitant at first because I’ve tried SEVERAL shake type programs in the past. This one is actually really good and I don’t gag! I noticed a few months ago I just wasn’t feeling 100 percent and I was just tired of feeling tired all the time.
This is one of those things where you can hear me talk about it over and over, but it’s something you really need to experience for yourself. I told my friend who was trying to get me to try it no at first. Then she sent me some samples and I had placed an order by the end of the very first day because I was feeling so great!
I don’t usually do this kind of thing but this is too good not to share. I’m just starting my 8 week experience and I’m looking for a few people to join me! If I feel this good after a few days, I can’t wait to see how I feel in 8 weeks. I know there are a lot of products on the market right now but I just know these 3 simple products are different. Please let me know if you want to join me on this experience. I would love for us to do it together.
If you have any questions about the products or would like to try a sample, feel free to email me at beckylbranch@gmail.com

Of course I still drink coffee….in moderation. It’s more about the taste for me. But now I also incorporate some more healthy options during my day. I can’t tell you what a difference it’s made in just a few days!

My M&M’s Ready for the Wedding! #MC
“I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Millennial Central for MY M&M’S. I received product samples to facilitate my review and to thank me for my participation.”
These two are getting hitched in less than a week and I couldn’t be more excited! I shared with you awhile back about how I ordered some custom M&M’s for the wedding. I was so thrilled with the result! You can read my original post HERE.
The M&M’s arrived in perfect condition. Nothing was melted and they were fresh and ready to serve!
If you have a party or event coming up I highly recommend using My M&M’s to create that perfect personal touch for your event. I will definitely share how these two lovebirds showcased their M&M’s at the wedding this weekend. And some wedding photos too 🙂
SAY CHEESE!!!! #MC #HavartiParty
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Arla Dofino. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”
Last weekend our neighbors came over and her daughter and Connor just love to play together. While they played Savannah & I sampled some yummy cheese while we drank our Moscato 🙂
Sometimes you just need to have some Mommy time while the kids play. I LOVE cheese….like seriously I could eat it every day….all day and never get tired of eating cheese.
Arla Dofino has some great Havarti cheeses. So, I made a plate of cheese and crackers for Savannah and I to try. We tried the Arla Dofino Creamy Havarti, Dill Havarti, and Hickory Smoked Havarti.
Served with crackers it makes a great snack. We talked and pretty much ate half that plate of cheese.
My favorite was the dill flavor. It’s so fresh and I think it would be great in dip or in mashed potatoes. YUM.
Savannah loved the Hickory Smoked Havarti.
The kiddos pretty much went with the plain creamy Havarti. They both love cheese- of course they are 4 & 5 year olds!!!
See all that yummy dill going through the cheese??? Soooooo good!
We had a great playdate and wine and cheese sampling thanks to Arla Dofino Cheeses. I can’t wait until we can do this again sometime.

That Costs Lots of Dollars….
Teaching a kid the value of things is about like taking them to a public restroom without manhandling the toilet seat. My germ radar goes off the charts when we have to go to the potty in a public place….omg LYSOL! How do you even get your kids not to touch the toilet???
Anyway…
So last week I was going through some photos and Connor was standing next to me at the desk. He grabbed my 50 mm lens (of course I was paying no attention) and then BAM…he dropped it. I didn’t think anything of it until I tried to use it today and it wouldn’t focus. I then asked Terence to try it out and he couldn’t get it to either. Commence me telling him that Connor dropped it and a whole conversation of why I had all my camera gear laying out in the open anyway….blah blah blah.
Because I am lazy and constantly switching lenses and I didn’t want to put it in the bag…mmmmmmkay?
I was PISSED. I mean I know it was an accident, but seriously I didn’t want to spend the moolah on a lens right now. We headed to the camera store and after discussing it decided to just get the new version of the 50 mm 1.4 because it would be over half the cost just to send it off and replace it. Plus I wouldn’t have it for a couple of months.
So here we are trying to teach Connor the value of things. I know it was just an object to him and he didn’t mean it. Poor kid. But yes…it cost lots of dollars.
Live and learn child. Live and learn. I’m still trying every day.
Love you boo…..even though you broke my favorite lens. To the moon and back.
Five on Friday!
Hallelujah! It’s finally Friday….I have a week of vacation ahead….my twin sister is getting married next Saturday. Good times.
1. My hometown of Conway, AR has a Pineapple Whip stand. OMG. I crave it so badly when I’m here in Texas and it’s so refreshing on a hot day. They mix the flavors and every week have a different one like mango/pineapple, fruit punch/pineapple, or orange/pineapple. Soooooo good!
2. My favorite color is green. Not because of Starbucks….but ya know that doesn’t hurt. I got a new summer purse and am loving this bright shade of green. This is the Kate Spade Cobble Hill Minka bag.
3. I love Target. Especially because you can find fashions for under $10 bucks! I bought this orange stripe (orange is my 2nd favorite color) shirt for $9 bucks! Holla! Great for summa-summa-time!
4. I’m a picture-taking freak. I’m so glad I am though because I treasure every single one! I’m really enjoying doing photo sessions on the weekend too! If you live in DFW holler at me if you need any portraits taken mmmmmmkay?
Here is a recent favorite of my booger:
5. Also while paroozing Target the other day I found these adorable heart push pins. Why do I need these. I don’t….but Target bull’s-eye sways me in with all the vibrant colors and patterns…. it’s almost like I’m in a coma and suddenly shoving crap in my cart because it’s cute and I’ll need it eventually right? The brand is Yoobi and I’m sure you’ll notice the Yoobi isle if you visit Target soon.

Finish This Week 22: A Link Up (A Day LATE!)
Welcome to Week 22 of Finish This! This link-up is hosted by NICOLE (Three31) LISA (COASTLINED), JEN (The Arizona Russums), BECKY (The Java Mama) and I and we’re so glad you’re here. If you’ve joined us before, thanks for returning! Be sure to add your post to the link-up. If you don’t have a blog, don’t worry. Simply answer the prompts in a comment. Next week’s prompts are at the bottom of this post.
1. I conquer fear … By praying. There are so many scary things in this world we are living in right now. I just want put Connor in a bubble so he won’t be exposed to all the hate and violence out there. Unfortunately, I can’t do that. I just have to have faith that God will take care of us and protect my family.
2. I follow my heart … I think I lead with my heart a lot. I’m a very sensitive person in general and I care greatly for others. My way of showing I care is by doing “service” for others and it makes me feel good to serve others. In doing this I think you have to follow your heart 🙂
3. I feed my soul by … Praying. Meditating in prayer, talking to God. Quiet time and every now and then throughout the day I’ll just have a soul moment where I feel like it’s God guiding me in a way. I feel Him throughout the day and I’m thankful I have that relationship to talk to Him whenever I want. He’s always there and He is always listening!
4. I used to worry about ____ but then I …
I used to worry about what people think of me so much. If they were judging me or whatever. I have been on antidepressants since I was around 16. It’s just something that unfortunately is in my gene pool. I struggle with worry on a daily basis. Thankfully my faith has helped a lot. As I get older it’s been easier to let things roll of my back. Over the years you sort of figure out what truly matters in life.
