First Thoughts on Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway

Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway

Peyton and I travel frequently, which means we check out hotels often. However, this was my first time at a Homewood Suites and it was also one of the few times I traveled without Peyton.  The Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway is centrally located to shopping, restaurants and entertainment. It's a great place to stay if you want to stay in the heart of the action with the comforts of home. I stayed in a king suite and found it to be perfect for all my needs. I think my favorite ...

Why I Quit Nutrisystem

Quit Nutrisystem Mold Muffin

Last year I partnered with Nutrisystem to do a weight loss series. I was super excited. I couldn't wait to start. Losing the extra weight has been a huge goal of mine but I always find it hard to achieve. So when the opportunity arrived to work with Nutrisystem I jumped on it. I was so excited to have a counselor to work with one on one to help get over the hurdles or roadblocks that I may encounter.  The food was to be shipped right to my door. All I needed to do was supplement with a few ...
