Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 is Now Available to Take Home

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2

Yes! You can now, head to your local retailer and pick up your very own copy of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! Then you can sit back and watch Baby Groot dance over and over again. At least that's what I plan on doing! Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was a big hit in my household. Peyton and I made a big production about going to the movie. It was actually Peyton's first time at a drive-in when she saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. And it was an amazing way to see it! Who wouldn't ...

5 Tips for Airline Travel While on Nutrisystem

Nutrisystem Snacks

August is the month of travel for this family. We will be gone for 18 of the 31 days of August. Can you believe that?! While it sounds amazing it also very stressful. How will I stay on track while traveling? What can I take with me on a plane? These were questions that I had rattling through my brain on our drive home last week from Chicago. We were home for less than 36 hours before we headed to the airport to board a plane for Orlando. That short time home didn't leave much time for me to ...

My Favorite Road Trip Snacks

Nutrisystem White Cheddar Popcorn

Peyton is spending time in Chicago with family. While it's nice having a little free time to myself I do not look forward to the drive to go pick her up. It's about 5-6 hours depending on the weather and traffic. And it feels even longer when you are doing it by yourself. This is one area I need help with. It's extremely tempting to stop at a gas station and pick up some junk food or pull off the road and hit up a drive thru. But I'm dedicated to my journey so I planned a head. I brought snacks ...
