I recently got some exciting news! One of my favorite stores now delivers. Yes, Target now delivers groceries and other items straight to your front door. Not only is shipt an incredibly convenient service for busy people or for those who dread going to the grocery store but it can also be a life-saver! The other week I had the flu and an empty empty fridge. I was too weak to get out bed so I did my grocery shopping from bed. Groceries were delivered that same day.

You may have noticed a certain theme on my blog recently. My love for unicorns and rainbows is nothing new. It all began many years ago when I was a very young child. I grew up a 90's kid and unicorns, rainbows, and ponies were just a thing most of us 90's kids loved. These bright and colorful characters and items are very nostalgic for me. While recently browsing the Oriental Trading website, I've found many toys and party supplies to help me re-live some of the fun things from my childhood. Everything from the slap bracelets to the mini stampers, they all bring back great memories and will help me create new ones with my little ones.

November is National Prematurity Awareness Month, a time for families nationwide to think about the health of expectant mothers and babies, and about how to have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.


One out of 10 babies nationwide each year is born prematurely, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While preterm births represent a small percentage of all births, these infants represent a large proportion of all infant deaths, according to United Health Foundation’s America’s Health Rankings®: The Health of Women and Children Report.

If you've recently walked down the candy aisle at your local grocery store or Walmart, you may have noticed these awesome little bags from MARS candy. MARS has taken some of your favorite chocolate candies like MILKY WAY, 3 MUSKETEERS and SNICKERS and has turned them into bite sized snacks. They are the perfect size to add to most of your favorite dessert recipes. I'm sure you'll find many ways to #EatMoreBites.

If you have children, then you most likely have a cabinet full of snacks for them to munch on in-between meals. Our fridge and pantry is always fully stocked with snacks that I don't mind the kids digging into whenever hunger strikes them. I have everything from fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts and granola bars on hand. I also try to always have snacks with me for those times that we are out and about. Those hunger cravings don't stop just because you're away from your kitchen. If you're anything like me, you probably always have snacks in your purse and in your car. And when we head out to our local playground, amusement park or take a trip to the zoo, I always pack more on-the-go snacks to bring along. A quick snack in-between meals helps keep us all in better mood and I’m not tempted to grab some high calorie fast food to keep us satisfied and fed. Since I’ve become a mom, individually wrapped snacks has become one of those items that I keep in my bag that I never leave the house without.

If your doctor or dentist prescribes a pain reliever, take charge of your health and find out exactly what you are getting. UnitedHealth Group medical experts recommend you ask your doctor these questions about any opioid prescription. Common opioid brand names include Vicodin and Percocet.


1. Why do I need this medicine?
Ask your doctor for reasons why it is right for you.

2. Are there other options that will address my pain?
Opioids are not the only option for treating pain. Other options are available. An over-the-counter pain reliever (such as Tylenol®, Aleve® or Advil®) may be enough, or, physical therapy or chiropractic care could give the same results.
