Weight watchers for mamas

WW✨Ad: https://brandcycle.shop/8x44a

Why I do Weight Watchers: I LOVE the flexibility of the program. It is absolutely a life style. If it’s my kids birthday and I have a slice of ๐Ÿ• and a cupcake, I haven’t had a cheat day - I just work it into my weekly points. What works best for me is eating very low point breakfast and lunch, and then whatever eating dinner we are having as a family (yes I eat REAL pasta - in moderation - and it’s part of a “diet” aka weight-loss life style!). There are tons of FREE point foods - eggs, fish, fruit, veggies, so staying in points budget isn’t as challenging as it seems. You can put a chain or fast food place into your app and all of your options and points will come up to make an informed decision - Taco Bell is my favorite WW fast food! There are Facebook groups that are really helpful with low point snack ideas and a feeling of community. I’ve stopped over the summer for various reasons but as soon as my oldest is in kindergarten on Tuesday I’m back on it!! They also send cute little keychains when you reach your 5lb loss, 10lb loss, etc. - I earned those and I’m excited to see what color comes next! 

Just to give you an idea of how a day on WW looks for me - I get 21 daily points. It was about double that when I was still nursing! 

Breakfast (4pts): coffee, sugar free creamer, egg omelette with 1.5 slices of low fat cheddar

Lunch (4pts): broccoli cooked in garlic and sesame oil, shrimp, 2 Trader Joe’s gyoza dumplings

Snack (0pts): hard boiled egg, watermelon 

Dinner (10pts): basil pesto, rotini pasta, grilled chicken breast, grilled zucchini 

Snack (3pts): cherries, cheddar rice cakes or sugar free pudding cup

Amazon Fire Tablet Kids - Must Have Apps

Image
The Amazon Fire Tablet is my favorite tablet for kids! We have other Android tables, and an iPad/iPhones, but the Fire Tablet knocks them all out of the water. Of course there is also YouTube Kids, Disney+, Nick Jr, and other streaming apps, and we have those too for long flights or car rides. In this post, I'm going to share the educational apps my kids enjoy . Here's my affiliate link to grab your Fire Tablets and accessories from Amazon ( ad:  https://geni.us/W04I0M , or https://amzn.to/48T5qo2  if you don't want to open in the app).  The Amazon Kids Tablet comes with an entire year free subscription to all of the apps, and I'm going to share my favorites (and my kids favorites!) with you! Keep in mind, while Android devices have some of these, many are not the full version unless you pay specifically for the app. The subscription currently has a monthly charge but covers up to 4 children in the family plan . On the Amazon Parent Dashboard , you are able to view whe...

Keep It Simple - Toy Rotation & Organization

Image
The holidays have brought a LOT of extra toys, and with the Christmas tree on it's way out, we have started to think about how we'll organize these toys!  Our current set up is from Target and IKEA. I love the Target Wave Storage Bins* and these storage cubes * are amazing! These cubes are LARGE so they fit a TON of toys. Right now these are our main type of storage with the bins, and they fit a ton of toys. I'm looking more to add rotation toy storage, so that's what I'll be updating with! If you want to see more storage solutions from Target, check them out here . * If you use my links, I'll earn a small commission from your purchase. If you're looking for the bin labels, they work on the fabric bins and plastic bins, and you can find them here on amazon (Affiliate Link). Click here for the template I made for the labels, of course I don't own the rights to any of these images, and I used Google to find them! I have always wanted to rotate toys, bu...
