Figleaves: It’s Swimsuit Season! #MC
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Figleaves.com. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”
It’s officially summer time and I just got something I haven’t bought in over four years. If you do the math that is before Connor was born….sigh. It’s a swimsuit. Let’s be honest, I don’t exactly love shopping for swimsuits. Something about standing in front of the mirror with all my lovely lady lumps being accentuated isn’t fun.
I was looking for something that didn’t say “MOM” all over it. Thankfully, I found what I was looking for at Figleaves.com. I found a flattering swimsuit that I felt comfortable in and flattered my figure.
I chose this magenta and navy and white striped halter suit. I love the colors and the clean design of this suit. It’s super flattering and comfortable too.
Figleaves.com has over 200 designs of lingerie, swimwear, apparel, and sleepwear.
The most important thing to me is that I felt good in it too. Connor’s at the age now where he’s wanting to go to the pool and water parks. So, I’m excited to wear my new suit this summer and have some fun in the sun!
My favorite thing about this swimsuit is the neckline. The v-neck is very flattering and the halter design is one of my favorites. 
If you’re like me & it’s been awhile since you’ve bought a swimsuit I highly recommend Figleaves.com. They have so many designs & styles to choose from. No matter what shape you are, I’m positive you’ll find something that flatters your figure. Check out more styles & deals from Figleaves.com on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Saving Money with AutoInsurance.com #Compare2Win
I am a member of the Collective Bias Social Fabric® Community. Collective Bias has provided me with compensation for my time and effort to evaluate this website. #Compare2Win #CollectiveBias Participation in this program is voluntary. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
I remember when I turned 16 and was FINALLY able to drive a car. At that age being able to drive a car is “everything“. I took the course and the test….I was praying I passed because I wanted that license to drive in my wallet sooooo bad!
My parents had my twin sister and I getting our license at the same time. Bless their heart. We inherited my Dad’s old Geo Prism. That was our very first car. We shared it driving back and forth to school and to work. There were many fights on who would drive or pay for gas. Ha ha! I remember those moments well.
We thought we were so cool when we got our first car. Our parents made us a deal, if we wanted to drive we had to pay for our own car insurance. I’m sure paying for two newly licensed teenagers wasn’t cheap. So, we got jobs and paid for insurance and gas when we could. Mom and Dad ended up helping us out a lot.
When shopping for car insurance we wanted the best rate at the cheapest cost. Let’s face it…we wanted to spend the majority of our paycheck on clothes and makeup.
If your going through this right now with a teen or just looking for rates AutoInsurance.com is a great site to compare them. Just visit the website, type in your zip code, and fill out your profile. Once finished you’ll get a report of the best auto insurance rates from several different companies.
If you choose to drive you MUST have insurance! I was hit by a car right before Christmas & the guy didn’t have insurance. Dealing with that entire ordeal was such a pain. I’m sure the guy that hit me is kicking himself because it was thousands of dollars to fix my car. Being insured protects you and so many others out on the road.
Finding a good rate on auto insurance can save you thousands of dollars and it only takes a few minutes to check it out. The monthly rate you pay for insurance will be much less than if you get in an accident and have to pay for damage.
So, I filled out my info and searched for my quote:
AutoInsurance.com is a first-of-its kind, independently operated one-stop-shop site that empowers consumers to quickly search, compare and purchase auto insurance, saving time and money online, consumers can retrieve their current auto insurance policy information and compare it apples-to-apples with carrier quotes offered on AutoInsurance.com.

AutoInsurance.com is available in these states right now: Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
Here are my 6 month quotes:
That’s not too bad. It’s around $130 a month for auto insurance. (This all depends on what kind of coverage you choose of course!)
If you’re looking to save some money on car insurance check out AutoInsurance.com it never hurts to check it out and you may save a little moolah!
Finish This Linkup: Week 18
1. I feel an adrenaline rush when … I drink coffee? Does that count? No, I guess when I do something that makes someone extremely happy I get so excited about it. I am a people pleaser at heart and I love to give and make people happy 🙂
2. I feel energized when … I DRINK COFFEE???!!!??? That sounds repetitive doesn’t it. Or, on the rare occasion I exercise ha ha!
3. I feel small when … People talk down to me or act like I don’t know what I’m talking about. If someone tells me I can’t do something that just makes me work harder to GET IT GIRL!
4. I feel big when … I eat an entire carton of Ben & Jerry’s the night before. Uhm….or I guess I feel big when I can do something that only adults can do 🙂 Like my mother always said “When you grow up you can tell me how to drive!”
5. I feel indestructible when … I don’t think there is ever a time I feel completely indestructible. If my confidence level is up then that’s good. I’ve talked about my struggle with anxiety and depression on this blog before….so I have a lot of hang ups. But I love life and try to do the best I can. Lord knows I can’t cook. If I cook a nice meal I feel good & sometimes shock myself!
6. I feel stupid when … I do something that is SO obvious! Which happens quite a bit actually….the older I get I ask myself “Really, Becky why in the world did you do that?” I have the best intentions, but sometimes my mind just wanders away from me.
7. I feel smart when … I can teach someone something they don’t know. That’s awesome. I love the feeling of showing someone something new and making their life easier. Especially when it’s life changing and can really effect someone’s life.
Connor took this picture of me yesterday when we got home…he’s been wanting to take photos. Truth: I look ragged when I get home and immediately take off my work clothes, bra, and hop into my jammies! BEST TIME OF DAY EVER!
Don’t forget to link up with all the gals today!!!
Who is Your #MyHeroMom ?
“I participated in an Ambassador Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for the Northwestern Mutual Foundation. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating #MC .”
Meet Jaycee & Mollie. These two little girls have been on my heart for the last couple of years.
We know Jaycee because her Dad & my husband were in the Air Force together. Jaycee has been fighting cancer for the past year and has been through quite a battle. She’s such a sweet little girl and she’s not able to do so many things a lot of kids her age are able to do. Jaycee is not out of the woods yet, & prayers are always appreciated. Read more about Jaycee’s journey HERE.
Mollie is a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. Mollie is raised by her grandparents who are very special to my family. Her Grandpa is a preacher. He married Terence and I & he also baptized me, my sister, and my Dad. Mollie was diagnosed a few years ago with cancer that stemmed from her leg. She went through a long treatment process that ultimately ended in her leg being amputated. Mollie has the sweetest spirit and is a great artist 🙂 Read more about Mollie HERE.
These two girls are heroes. So are their Moms and families.
From now until May 13 Northwestern Mutual is rallying sons, daughters and those who want to honor their own “heroic” moms or mother figures by uploading images of them to Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook with the hashtag #myheromom.
For each social action (image upload, Facebook share and like, tweet and retweet) generated by consumers, the Northwestern Mutual Foundation will donate $5 to its nonprofit partner, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), up to $50,000 for childhood cancer research. This is a great cause you guys!
