Who else loves a good mail day? My friends at @rea Who else loves a good mail day? My friends at @real_simple sent me a box of goodies to get excited about the Real Simple Home Tour. (ad) It’s virtual this year so we can all join in the fun.

My box was filled with goodies like this comfy throw from @homedepot. It’s Perfect for curling up on the coach with the latest copy of Real Simple Magazine.

@kerrygoldusa, my favorite butter for cooking up all my favorite Keto recipes.

Goodies from @paintzen and @horderly will help keep my office nice and organized and the beautiful affirmation cards from @the.lamare are a beautiful way to keep me motivated.

My kitties were pretty excited about the @armandhammercat litter. They don’t like a stinky box and the AbsorbX litter traps and seals odors with the unique Desert Dr Minerals. Happy kitties, happy mommy! 

Be sure to join the @real_simple Home Virtual Event on October 1st at 4pm EST! #RSHome

Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter tonight. Tell people what they mean to you. Never take a moment for granted. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. “On this day 19 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their next shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for the morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10am Sept 11th, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take tonight before you go sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted!” 🙏🏼

Who else has started decorating for Halloween 👻 Who else has started decorating for Halloween 👻? As soon as September rolls around I’m all in 😂. This year, I’m OBSESSED with the gold skeleton and skeleton bones from @orientaltrading (ad)

Halloween has gone glam this year 😍

Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in pe Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in person yet? I had so many questions about this vehicle last week and I think I answered most of you 😂 (don’t worry I have a full blog post coming soon on this beauty) but until then, I thought I’d tell you a few things I loved, and why it’s perfect for road trips!

* First, it’s COMFORTABLE! Seriously one of the most comfortable ones I’ve been in. The power and heated seats were perfect for those chilly NH nights when we went out to eat. Plus the second-row sunshades made it easy for Evie to take a nap on the way up and home.

*Can we talk about all the charging capabilities? The #ToyotaHighlander has FOUR USB ports, a Qi wireless charger and TWO 12 volt outlets so none of us had to worry about a low-battery. Plus we could keep the @nintendo Switches charged for when we needed them.

* Then there’s all the safety features. Toyota Safety Sense is a bundle of safety features that come standard on the #Highlander and made me feel extra safe on the road in this beauty!

Listen, we were sad to see this one go. Stay tuned for the full post on everything we loved! And if you’re out looking for a new car, check this one out!

AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that I'm stronger than I think. We all are. Strength comes in many different forms but a strong foundation begins with proper nutrition. @viactiv is a sweet way to make sure your body gets the calcium it needs for strong bones. Just 2 tasty #viactiv chews a day give you 100% of the daily recommended calcium your body needs to keep your bones STRONG. With 30% more calcium, up to 2/3 LESS sugar and half the calories of other gummy supplements, the choice is easy! How has this year made you #CHEWstobestrong (see what I did there)
