I was lucky to be chosen for Influenster's mom vox box. And boy am I glad I did. If you don't know about Influenster, it's an awesome site where you take surveys on all different things like beauty, electronics, home etc, just anything really. If your lucky enough you will be chosen to test out awesome items. Some of the items are not even in stores yet. Then you do reviews on each item. Easy and fun, check them out !
This mom vox box had some really good items to test out. One thing was these QUAKER SOFT BAKED OATMEAL cookies. This was the very first thing I wanted to test because I looove oatmeal raisin cookies ! And let me tell you these cookies are awesome ! Not only are these cookies are delicious but they are also good for you too. Soft baked cookies are made with whole grain oats, has a good source of fiber, individually packaged and only have 6 grams of fat per serving (info found on influenster website) ! These are good for me to use as a treat since I have been working on my weight & eating habits.
They are not to sweet, and are very soft. The raisins were nice and plump as well, and not hard like other oatmeal cookies I have tasted. These have a nice Cinnamon flavor which gives them a home made taste to them as well. Well worth to go out and buy these bad boys ! You can find these yummy Quaker cookies at just about every major retail store & run for about $2.69. Not bad for some really good cookies, store brand cookies can be around that price as well but not have the quality as the Quaker Soft Baked.
Stop reading this and go get you some !
*This post has been for review purposes. I was not paid by Influenster but I did receive the product for free. I have had many cookies and this is my honest opinion lol.
**Will insert pic later, cannot get to upload for some reason.

Weeeell Hello Strangers !!!
Wow my last post was in June !!! Well hello everyone, how has everyone been ? As for me a lot has happened since the last time I posted. The two major things are: I had got married in May on our 10 yr anniversary =) Exactly a month later I found out we were pregnant w/ our third baby =)). We call it our best wedding gift ! I was like perfect I can blog about my pregnancy ... =/ not !
Just like many other pregnancies there were the good and bad parts. I think I was equal on both. I had morning sickness the first couple of months and then got sick w/ colds and stuff after my morning sickness went away. And the standard back gain, out of breath, major cravings, sleep all day, not enough sleep kinds of stuff. In December I thought I was going into labor, I was having really bad lower back and stomach pain. My husband knew he had to take me to the hospital when he seen me crying (I can take pain very well). Well it turns out my kidneys were inflamed and I had gallstones =(. Idk if anyone has had gallstones, but by far the worst pain ever ! Rather be in labor no lie. But after that everything was well and had a beautiful girl in February <3.
Now that everything & everyone here has settled back into the groove of things, I figured I would get back into my blog and maybe even start up my YouTube (maybe, I've always wanted it but I'm very shy. My sister started a video and now I'm inspired). I have many ideas for the blog: my labor story, gall stones story, weight loss and of course makeup & mommy-ness stuff. If any of you (my 2 followers) have any questions or suggestions or ideas etc, please feel free to comment below. I'll post below pics of my belly-ness. Hope you all have a good week ... until we meet again !
