This post is sponsored by Graco® . All opinions are my own. This summer our family has gone on a lot of road trips and we aren’t even finished yet!

Preparing for Kindergarten
This post is sponsored by HarperCollins. The day is almost here for my little girl to head to Kindergarten. As a parent I want to make sure she is prepared in every way.

No bake almond butter coconut bites- Gluten Free!
I saw a recipe for these amazing gluten-free balls the other day but one of the ingredients contained a lot of sugar. I have tweaked it and made my own.

The first few weeks were really hard! I feel better, feel more confident, and have actually lost pounds and ...
