#Unileverpartner Ever wonder what you can do to help those struggling with food insecurity? Right now there is a super easy way, so listen up!

When you buy participating products from Lipton®, Hellmann’s®, Best Foods® or Knorr® at Walmart, Unilever will donate a meal to Feeding America®! Also, interact with the augmented reality experience on Fight Hunger packs to see what it feels like to drive a race car, watch a special video from Justin Allgaier, and even take a picture with him!

There are also four Knorr® recipes that can be downloaded, and, by interacting with the experience, I'm so glad that @walmart and Unilever are making it easier than ever to help “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” I (and they!) believe that fighting hunger isn’t just about feeding physical stomachs, it’s about feeding dreams, hope, and possibilities for everyone!

For each participating Unilever product purchased at Walmart from April 5 - May, 3, 2021, Unilever will donate the monetary equivalent of at least 1 meal ($0.10) to Feeding America®. Unilever guarantees a minimum total donation of $250,000. Maximum total donation $1,000,000. $1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.

👉🏻My word for the year is balance. I’m try

👉🏻My word for the year is balance. I’m trying to do a better job of balancing my work and play schedule, my food choices, and prioritizing things in my life that I really want.

I was reminded by a wise person that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, so saying you are too busy for something or don’t have time for xyz means you are putting your priorities somewhere else. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on what you want for you life, but it’s a good way to keep yourself in check.

What are you doing with your 24 hours? Can you think of any areas that need to be reevaluated so that you can reach your financial, family, or career goals?

🚨Sometimes we have to let good things go in favor of what is best, and that can be a struggle. 🚨

So tell me what you want? (What you really, really want, for all my Spice Girls out there) Do you have a balanced plan to get you there? What is an action step you can take today towards a more balanced tomorrow?

For instance, I had a cheat meal at lunch so I’m planning healthy meals for tonight and tomorrow. Look at me being all balanced! 😜

👉🏻Last night, Bobby had a basketball game at the church. Emma Kate came along, and since I'm pretty competitive, I found myself yelling, cheering, and just generally being my loud self.

I quickly noticed that every time I cheered, Emma Kate cheered. If I yelled for the team to box out, she did too (even though she has no idea what it means and after we had a long chat about rebounding.)

This is nothing new, my mini me is always copying me, wanting to dress like me, be with me, and talk to me. When I ask her what she wants to wear, she says "what do you want me to wear?" When I ask her what color shoes she wants me to buy her, she says "what do you want me to have?" She even changed her favorite color from purple to pink because pink is my favorite. 🎀

It happens so often, that sometimes I forget she is watching my every move, and picking up on my habits (even bad ones, eeekk!)

Last night was a great reminder that I have SO MUCH influence and responsibility when it comes to how this tiny human will turn out. It can feel overwhelming, but it also helps me keep my attitude and responses in check. I want her to grow up and remember how well mommy handled the hard times, how I trusted God to take care of the family, and how I treated people.

I know moms, I KNOW how exhausting the questions, the following around the house, and the mimicking can me. But I'm going to try to be better about teaching, guiding, and letting my actions speak loud. But all that will happen after I go pour myself another cup of coffee. ☕️

Sappy post alert🚨

🏰 As someone who travels to Disney destinations often, I get asked a fair bit “why.”

Why go back to the same place when there is a whole world to explore? Isn’t it just lines and heat and screaming kids and expensive stuff?

Well yes...and no. Sure there are lines and hello, it’s Florida so it gets hot, but to me Disney is SO much more. Like my shirt says, it truly feels like home to me (cue the song that will forever make me think of Dawson’s Creek. IYKYK.)

Disney makes me forget about the problems going on back home. It makes me feel like a kid, flying in a pirate ship with Emma Kate or watching her face as a princess waves back at her from high atop a parade float.

It’s the way the cast members on @disneycruiseline put cloth napkins on your kid to cover them up after they fall asleep across two chairs during dinner. How everyone calls her “princess” in the hallways and she gets the best sleep ever after a long, but amazing day.

To us, Disney isn’t just a vacation destination. It’s nostalgia and memories and joy. It’s our happy place, and yes, we will continue to visit time and time again to catch a glimpse of the wonder and magic on our little girls face while she still believes in it.

Disney is truly special, and I can’t wait for our next trip (whenever that may be!) when we will be welcomed back, and will be home once again. 💛❤️💙

What is the most magical thing about Disney to you?

Can I get a double tap if you feel like as you get

Can I get a double tap if you feel like as you get older, there is so much more "upkeep" for your appearance? (ad) I feel my best when I look my best, but y'all, it can get expensive and time consuming!

Anytime I can find something that is quick, easy, and affordable, I'm on board! The Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel is something I had never heard of before, but I'm a new fan! It contains hydrogen peroxide to whiten and brighten teeth, which is the same active ingredient used by dentists. It's so simple to use, you can even add it to toothpaste on your toothbrush! The Gel gently lifts away stains and even reduces yellowing of the teeth (any coffee drinkers have this problem? No? Just me?)

The best part is, with @pluswhite, whitening begins with the first application and you’ll see Whiter and Brighter teeth within days!
You can purchase the Plus White 5 Minute Speed Whitening Gel at PlusWhite.com, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS and Amazon.

Do you ever take the time to look at landscaping at parks, restaurants, or places like Disney World? To me, the beautiful flowers and trees are part of what “make” Disney, Disney. They don’t skimp on anything, and I think that’s one reason I love the Polynesian Village Resort. It’s just so lush and green and beautiful.

Bobby and I have a little hobby of gardening, and have been fixing up our patio with flowers, and planting veggies in pots. We still have one more surprise before I do a “big reveal” and I’m super pumped to share!

Do you spend a lot of time outside in the spring and summer? We love grilling and hanging out outside with friends and family. That’s actually our plan tomorrow! Have a great weekend!

Some days I work out for an hour. Some days I eat

Some days I work out for an hour. Some days I eat chips and queso for an hour. It’s called balance, can I get an amen and a double tap?! 🙌🏻

As of late I have been trying a different approach with my health that involves some longer fasts, and because of how most of us were raised, this is frowned upon.

Surely you are supposed to have 3 square meals a day...right?

Surely you are supposed to never go more than a couple hours without eating to keep your metabolism high...right?

The truth is, there is more than one way to lose weight, and one way just doesn’t work best for everyone, and that’s ok! I can assure you I’m eating plenty of calories, I’m not working out too hard, (way less than ever before actually!) and I don’t have unhealthy eating patterns. I’m ok y’all, I promise!

I actually feel really great and proud of myself. I am breaking some unhealthy habits I have had for YEARS that are made worse by working from home having access to food 24/7. No I’m not selling anything, but would be happy to chat if anyone has questions. My inbox is always open! (And there’s an IGTV video talking about what I’m doing that you can check out!)

Have a fab weekend my friends, I may hit up my fave Mexican spot for some chips and queso. Now that I’m talking about it, I want it! 😬
