Supplements for the Win!
I'm a huge believer in supplements! Of course, always go to your doctor and do blood work to see what you're deficient in. With so many advancements in technology and the way food is made, I think that our food doesn't always supply us with the nutri...
Women are usually deficient in vitamin D3, as was the case when my blood work was done. Ever since I have been taking daily, I feel energetic and able to keep up with my boys!

Mommas of autistic children: Late nights 🌙 lack of sleep, not eating well, not drinking enough water, yada yada...it ages you, but to slow it down I take these. I don't do all 6 pills as recommended, only 3 and I do notice a difference.

Before you go spending 500 bucks on a GE nugget ice maker, give this one a try! You won't be disappointed! Pro-tip: don't leave the scoop in the ice basket and you'll get more ice. I put mine in a little cup next to the ice maker. Nugget size is perf...
Frigidaire Ice Maker
The clear see-through concept I use with my child has now carried over to me. I got a 4 pack of these and these are the only cups I now use for my iced coffee! Something about being able to see your coffee makes it taste better 🤷♀️

Having an ASD child could mean child care is limited therefore getting to the gym is near impossible, but I've been able to stay active with these few items. Hope you find them as helpful as I have in order to find a good stress reliever while sheddi...
A budget friendly cycling bike! It lives in my room, doesn't take up too much space and it also didn't cost me an arm and a leg. I love the Peleton community and all, but to be honest, I never know how my days are going to go, so if I could hop on an...
