Besides my family, you can say that my focus has been my health. With my new health initiative, my family has started to take their health more seriously also. One of the first things I’ve done is start watching what I’m eating. As of now, I’ve stopped my fast food addiction and focused more on fruits, vegetables and less greasy foods. My weekly routine now consists of me going to the gym three times a week and that will increase starting next week. Since I’m a night shift worker, it was hard for me to put away the late-night cravings of fast food. The greasy food has been replaced with…

This article is sponsored by Amazon, but all opinions are 100% mine. As a parent of three, sometimes it seems like I’m a parent of one child these days. My son is a year removed from high school and I don’t see him as much as I used to. With him being in school, working all the time and spending time with his girlfriend.

3 Backyard Activities For the Entire Family to Enjoy
Kids just don’t get the time they need outside these days. Which is sad because playing outside is so fun and beneficial, and contributes to the physical, social and emotional well-being of children. That’s why I’m getting together to help Springfree Trampoline and KaBOOM! bring families together through safe, outdoor play and to motivate families to go outside and be active. There are so many benefits to playing outside that I’m not sure why families don’t do it more! Outdoor play allows kids to develop their physical skills and get fresh air and healthy exercise. Playing outside also helps kids burn energy, stay healthy and enjoy sunlight with space to roam,…
3 Healthy Alternatives Your Family Will Love
March was National Nutrition Month, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done year-round. My kids were on Spring Break last week, so that was the perfect time to start with healthier alternatives from our usual. Unfortunately, my two oldest worked throughout the week, so that left my little one. For the most part, she spent her time over her friend’s house practicing for the upcoming cheer season. With the kids pretty much gone all week, my wife and I didn’t have to cook throughout the week. Since our week was spent eating fruits and healthy meals, this is something we’re going to continue since we both lost weight. Our…

Who’s excited about finally getting some warmer weather? Unfortunately, some people are still feeling the wrath of Winter weather as our neighbors up north is still getting snow. When it comes to the south, Georgia to be exact, we’re not all the way out of the water. As of now, the weather is nice and around 70+ degrees, but the rainy and cooler weather is coming back.

During those mornings, you would catch me with…
Save Money on Unilever Men Care Products at Target NOW!!!
Sponsored post by Mirum. All opinions are my own. We’re headed towards the end of March and that means Spring is officially here. During this time of year, I’m usually the busiest and this year is no different. For starters, it’s the return of doing yardwork, which is something that consumes a lot of my time. With the weather starting to get warmer, that also means I’m outside playing basketball with the kids. Since it’s March Madness, that usually gets us excited about playing basketball more. You can say that I love the outdoors and seeing everyone in our neighborhood doing their thing outside. This is the time of year…
8 Healthy Snacks to Enjoy on National Snack Day
I received the products for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine. How many of you knew today was National Snack Day? Let’s be honest, we all love to keep our fair share of snacks around. Whether it’s in the kitchen, hiding in our rooms from the kids or put up at work. The big issue that lies is that we’re usually choosing the wrong kind of snacks. In the past, my choices were tons of sugars that wasn’t good for me and my family’s health. With so many companies moving towards organic and healthier alternatives, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore. Below are 6 healthy…

Check Out Honcker When Leasing Your Next Vehicle
I was compensated from Honcker for the written article. All opinions are 100% mine. Recently, we purchased a new car, well let’s say that my son was the one who was buying the car. Honestly, I thought helping him pick his suit for the prom or outfits for senior photos was bad. Let’s just say those pale in comparison to trying to get him the car he wants. Our search ranged pretty much all throughout Northeast Georgia and we got the run around from many places. If that wasn’t bad enough, we got to several different dealerships and those salesmen thought they were going to play me. You…
Black Friday Shopping with the 2018 Mazda CX9
I received the vehicle from Mazda from Drive Shop. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s hard to believe how much time has flown by. It seemed like yesterday when we were going shopping for our son before he turned 1-year-old. Over the years, we have let our kids spend the night with their papa and great-grandmother while we shop. Last year, we took our oldest two kids while my youngest stayed with her cousins at her papa’s house. This year, my two oldest kids had to work all Black Friday weekend so that meant my little one tagged along. One of the main reasons she wanted to go was her…
Ooma Home Security Protect My Home While at Work
If you have followed me over the years, then you know I’m a 3rd shift worker. This has gone on for quite some time now, which is good to help with my family. Throughout all the years, my worries were minimal because we’ve had great neighbors who looked out for each other. If that wasn’t enough, it seems like crimes pretty much never occurred. Fast forward to 2017, we relocated to a better neighborhood in a bigger city and when you turn on the TV, all you see or hear about is crimes. Recently, one hit too close to home, which has got me texting throughout the night because I…
#AD MyQ® Home Bridge from Chamberlain is A Must-Have for the Family
This post is sponsored by Chamberlain. I was paid for this post and received the featured Home Bridge as compensation. Nowadays when you look around, it seems like everything can be controlled through your smartphone. Honestly, I do pretty much everything possible on my phone, which is why I upgraded to accompany all the apps I have. I’m just as guilty as anyone else when it comes to social media, but my phone is used for so much more. My phone is used to pay bills, check my kid’s grades, ordering food from restaurants and even adjust lighting in my house. Recently, I’ve had the chance to check out the MyQ®…
Celebrate National Pizza Month in October
I received the product for review for my honest opinions. All opinions are 100% mine. Let’s be honest for a minute, I’ve never met anyone in my lifetime that doesn’t like pizza. My family usually want some pizza about every other week and sometimes more. Recently, I found out that there’s actually a month dedicated to pizza. October is viewed as National Pizza Month, so October isn’t just dedicated to Halloween. The love of pizza came about when the American soldiers returned from fighting in Italy during World War II. This all started in 1984 by Gerry Durnell, who was founder of the Pizza Today publication and a small pizzeria…

My Busy Lifestyle: Here’s A Peek at My Life with Liberte
It seems like the older I’ve gotten, the busier my schedule has become. Since I’ll be turning 40 in a couple of weeks I’ve been making minor changes in my lifestyle. With all that, I’m still working night shifts and that’s where it was hard to make those changes. Instead of drinking so many sodas, I’ve started drinking more water and it’s kind of tough some nights. I’ve also ditched the fast food and candy bars and went back to my Liberte Yogurt to go with fruits. Since I love shopping at Publix all the time I get to grab both while doing some shopping. What better place…
Like Ice Cream & Cake? Carvel Ice Cream Cakes Are A Must-Have!!
This is a sponsored post. I was compensated by Focus Brands and Carvel, but all opinions are 100% mine. It’s hard to believe that we’re approaching August as this year have flown by. One thing I can say about this summer is that it’s been really hot. Whenever it’s hot and humid outside, I’m usually stuck inside to avoid the weather. There are times I must do yard-work, but it’s done first thing in the morning or late in the evening. Sometimes I like to go to the pool, but I’m not a huge fan of going swimming. There have been times we set up something in the yard like…
