What’s in my bag?

2015-09-12 16.53.422015-09-12 16.51.53 2015-09-12 16.54.09

About a month ago, I talked a lot about being sick so much after I had Brooke. My immune system was zapped and nursing completely drained me. After being sick 4 times in 4 months and not being able to kick my sickness, I knew I had to make a lot of adjustments to stay healthy. On top of that, I was exhausted from transitioning back to work. One of the biggest adjustments I have made is drinking a full bottle of water and snacking each time I pump or feed Brooke.

 

Let’s be real, I am not the healthiest person, so I learned to plan my snacks in advance and pick options that would be right for my lifestyle. New Jif® Bars have been a go to for my afternoon snack option. They fit perfectly in my purse, which make them great for my on-th-go lifestyle right now.  Jif® Bars are creamy, fresh roasted Jif layers partnered with chewy, crunchy granola. They come in three flavors Jif® Bars Creamy Peanut Butter, Jif® Bars Crunchy Peanut Butter and Jif® Bars Peanut Butter Chocolate. I think the Jif® Bars Peanut Butter Chocolate are my favorite, but all of them are really good. They have 7-8g of protein in each bar which is perfect to replenish me quickly.

 

If you are looking for a great, energizing snack option, make sure to try Jif® bars. They give you a great combination of creamy Jif® Peanut Butter and chewy granola. You can visit the Jif® website for more information and find them in grocery stores nationwide.

 

Make sure to leave a comment with which flavor you would want to try (and your email so I can contact you) for a chance to win! We will be giving away Five Prize Packs, each prize pack to include one box of each Jif bar flavor (3 flavors). There will be five winners. ($3.49 ARV per box) All winners must reside in the USA and be age 18+; giveaway ends Tuesday, October 20,2015 at 12am CST.

    These sound delicious, especially the Peanut Butter Chocolate ones. I Love chocolate and peanut butter together but peanut butter all by itself is pretty yummy too.

  • The best part of fall isn’t always the big things—it’s the little moments in between. 🤎 #ad

A cozy night at home, a blanket, a snack, and time together with @highlightsforchildren  turned into one of those simple family moments I know we’ll remember.

From working through activities to laughing at the silly parts, I love how something so simple can spark conversation, curiosity, and connection.

As we ease into the holiday season, I’m trying to make more room for moments like these… just slowing down, being together, and enjoying the little things. ✨
