Disclosure: This post was sponsored by NBTY through their partnership with Circle of Moms by POPSUGAR. While I was compensated by Circle of Moms by POPSUGAR to write a post about NatureSmart Vitamins, all opinions are my own. I've mentioned several times that this is the summer of me. I'm sure in a lot of ways that sounds selfish. My intentions are anything but. Me in my husbands t-shirts, yoga pants and a top-knot, overweight, out of shape and feeling overwhelmed isn't making anyone's ...

Five Things Friday
I've declared this the summer of me! Well that sounds incredibly selfish, but it is true. I am investing in myself--guilt free. 1. It started with the braces this spring.

I ate lots and lots of those treats, skipped a ...

Putting these pictures side by side and really looking back and thinking about how I felt when I started this journey makes me appreciate how far ...
Just Dance + A Big Milestone
I have so much I want to tell you friends. Excuses and reasons why you haven't heard from me. Why I stopped paying attention to what I stuffed my face with or why exercise got put on the back burner.
