Why because it will tell the story of mine and my families Journey throughout 2017. 2016 was a year filled with trials and tribulations which we have come through all alive and well for the most part. Life isn't easy by any means. There is always some hurdle, disaster, illness, or trauma to over come.

With 2017 very much still ahead of us with today only being the 4th.I want take my readers on a Journey with me from daily journeys, personal journeys, and most importantly my Journey with God. He is the reason why we made it through 2016 as well as we did.

I am still a bit behind in my blogs and social updates. Some of my regular readers and followers know that 2016 went out a bit exciting resulting in a big band of excitement for the beginning of 2017 with lots of interviews from News Channels about the surprise package I received.

I know I am leaving some of you scratching your heads. I know you are all on the edge of your seats waiting to hear details but I do promise to get the blog up about that very soon.

Join me on my Journey through 2017.

Surviving the day with belVita Biscuits

My Story

Our family tried belVita Biscuits out about two years ago for the very first time. Me of course being the mom who likes to get the most for our family's buck, bought them on sale with a coupon for maximum savings, while also stocking up.

I had originally bought them for my children who are always rushed in the morning and sometimes need a quick breakfast to get them started for the day. What I found was that my whole family really enjoyed these and kept asking for more. I don't think there is a variety or flavor they don't like. I even gave them a whirl one day when I knew I had to be out and about all day long.

They travel well, and when eaten with fruit and a dairy product they provide 4 hours of steady nutritious energy. This is when I fell in love with belVita Biscuits myself. Being a busy on the go mother who also blogs, I often forget to feed myself when I am writing or out and about running errands. I learned just by popping belVita biscuits, fruit and a stick of frozen string cheese into my bag or placing them near my desk I was really keeping my energy flowing.

The belVita biscuits are also great for stashing in your car, diaper bag, backpack, gym bag, or sports bag for on the go snacks that will keep you going all day long. Just having them in my car saves the say when you pick up a hungry child after school. Surviving the day with belVita Biscuits is easy and nutritious, not to mention delicious

Shopping for belVita Biscuits is super easy at Walmart. Our local store has a sidekick or what some might consider a 4 way with the belVita Biscuit line but you can also find them in the Cracker Isle if your store does not have the display.








I am really excited to try out some of the new flavors below.
.

Flavor:

• belVita Breakfast Biscuit Bites in Cinnamon Brown Sugar (NEW)
• belVita Breakfast Biscuits in Toasted Coconut(NEW) or Blueberry
• belVita Breakfast Sandwiches in Strawberry Yogurt or Vanilla Yogurt (BOTH NEW)

belVita is also available in several other forms and flavors for all day snacking
• Biscuits- great for any morning
• Bites- great for on-the-go
• Sandwiches: savor the yummy creme inside


All of the new flavors from belVita Biscuits that I tried are a hit with the whole family. My favorite way to start my day blogging is by having a bowl of yogurt with frozen fruit topped with crumbled toasted almost belVita biscuits.

You can easily crumble biscuits in bag and then pour on your fruit topped yogurt. A great way for a energy boost to keep me blogging right up to lunch time.





There is also a great ibotta offer available right now  (sign up with my ibotta code if you don't already have this app and gain 10.00)*subject to change without notice, as well as other opportunities when you return to your nearest participating Walmart on Saturday, January 7th or Sunday, January 8th for a special belVita  Biscuits Breakfast in-store event. Each location will offer belVita Biscuits Breakfast samples, exclusive savings, smoothies, giveaways, and more. Check for Walmart store near you.

For anyone looking for my story on my big News debut keep your eyes open will try to get that up later tonight. I have been very busy with phone calls, emails, etc on top of regular life. Thank you for being patient.

Pine Bros. for fast relief

I am totally new to the Pine Bros. family but I am loving these softish throat drops because they are so mild. No strong medicine taste and just what I need when my throat is dry or itchy from allergies. These are just what I have always needed. Seriously, I usually just pop a hard candy in because I don't need cough drops with medicine in them. I just need something that melts slowly and coats my throat to keep me from coughing or to keep my throat moist.

Pine Bros. has 6 flavors available Sugar Free Wild Cherry, Wild Cherry, Natural Honey, Vitamin C Orange, Lemon Lime, and Licorice. I was only able to try the Sugar Free Wild Cherry and Vitamin C Orange but a quick trip to the store or their online shop and I can easily pick up or order just what I need for the coming year to come.

What I love most about these other then them being mild in flavor is that they are vegan and gluten free. I also like that they are soft so no clinking on my teeth when things need to be quite say while in Church, a meeting, etc.

Sugar Free Wild Cherry is available at Harris Teeter, Harmon, & Shop Rite while the Vitamin C Orange is available at Kinney Drug. Of course all of the flavors on available on the Pine Bros. Website.

Groupon for Fashion that will take you into the New Year

This is a sponsored post. All opinions are mine.




The New Year is just round the corner and we all know we like to start out on the right foot. My favorite way is to start with some new clothes. Groupon had deals to get you through the Holidays and it will take you into the New Year with style too. My favorite Groupon page for myself is of course Lane Bryant. There are lots of deals to save you lots of money on a new look. 

For my older girls I take off to Rue 21 for great deals through Groupon. Rue 21 has great prices already but add on some coupons from Groupon and you really go wild. With Swagbucks you can even save more by earning points that can be turned in for gift cards to many places. Believe me it is easy to do and adds up quickly if you do online shopping.

The first sites I check out for deals is Groupon, Ebates, Swagbucks, and Mypoints. I want more for my buck so that I can do more for my family and sites like these really stretch my dollar which helps me stay on budget and come under budget many more times then I can count.

Also remember Groupon is here all year round so you can always be sure to find a great deal on an items you are looking for, which reminds me the girls need new undergarments so I better get shopping to see what I can find.
