As you may already know, I am a proud K-Cup® Ambassador. I've been a Keurig Brewer owner for over 2 years and its made me an even bigger coffee addict. Before owning a Keurig Brewer, I would waste coffee left and right. You see, I'm the only one who drinks coffee from a "coffee machine." My husband is an avid coffee drinker as well but he prefers instant. Blah! I despise instant coffee so I would always make 3-4 cups of coffee a day and throw out about half. Not by choice -- it would … [Read more...]
Champion SHAPE™: Making Zumba Extra Fun!
September 14, 2011 by 17 Comments
So this past Monday I decided to try out Zumba for the very first time. If you read my first post on Champion SHAPE™ gear, then you already know that I am one of Champion's “Shape Your Life” Blogger Ambassador who also wants to lose some weight. Here's where the issue lies -- I've got to start slow. I have a thyroid condition that makes me fatigue - among other things, an umbilical hernia that needs to get fixed really soon and lately I've been having pain on my left knee (a.k.a I'm one hot … [Read more...]
Marie Callender’s Baked Meals Review
September 5, 2011 by 6 Comments
Last night, I told the kids we were going to have lasagna for dinner. Since my kids love pasta, they were ecstatic about dinner, that is until I told them we were going to try a frozen lasagna. They weren't too happy about my decision but they understood why. I always tell them that mommy's a blogger and as a blogger I get opportunities to review products and food. For me, it's fun to be able to taste-test new foods because I can let my readers know what my family and I enjoy … [Read more...]

At Starbucks, they don't want to discourage a speedy lifestyle but help make it a more enjoyable experience with their brand new line of Bistro Boxes. They are healthy, delicious and did I mention they are … [Read more...]

Champion SHAPE™: Looking and Feeling Great While Getting fit
August 30, 2011 by 12 Comments
I have a huge confession to make here. It's something I don't tell people very often and it's something I haven't spoken to my husband about but I've decided to share this dreadful confession with you, my lovely readers. Why? Because I desperately want to try to lose at least 20-25 pounds. So here it goes.... I'm overweight. For those of you who have met me in person, you may be (possibly) saying, nah, Lisa's not overweight, but if you look below -- I am. I'm 5'2 and I weigh … [Read more...]

My Love for Coffee Just Got Bigger, Thanks to K-Cup® Portion Packs
August 15, 2011 by Leave a Comment
My love for coffee has grown since becoming a K-Cup Ambassador. Before trying out the Brew Over Ice K-Cup® portion packs, I was never an iced coffee kind of person. I prefer my coffee to be piping hot. But let's be real here, it's Summer and it's HOT! I don't think I can drink my coffee hot all the time. I want something to cool me off and caffeinate me as well. That's where the iced coffee K-Cup® portion packs comes in. I can't imagine surviving the hot and humid Summer without iced … [Read more...]
P&G Family Movie Night: “Who is Simon Miller?” Premieres August 6, 2011
July 29, 2011 by 2 Comments
P&G and Walmart have partnered together to create movies that families can watch together. As a mom of 3, it's often difficult to watch a movie that is age-appropriate for everyone, including my 6-year-old. There are times where we have to stop the movie right smack in the middle because of what was said or what they showed on the screen. Watching movies that are appropriate for the whole family always get a 2 thumbs up from me. "Who is Simon Miller?" is one of them. I was fortunate … [Read more...]
