Let me deliver some good news to you….. a meal delivery service from @schwanshomedelivery has you covered for nightly meals. AD

Schwan’s Home Delivery delivers delicious frozen food to your doorstep so that you can make mealtime moments that matter.

Frozen options for any occasion with fully prepared meals, single portions, or food for a crowd. I made the bow time pasta, added in some extra veggies, topped with my favorite seasonings and feta. Dinner was ready in minutes!

They gave me a 40% off code + FREE delivery on your first Schwan’s using code GOODLIFE when you check out!

Marquette County, Wisconsin Road Trip Photo Reveal Part 1

We had the best time on our road trip to Marquette County in Wisconsin this past month! It’s roughly 3 hours away from Chicago and if you are looking for a place to unplug, do a little “glamping” and be one with nature, @MarquetteCountyWisonsin is the spot!

We hiked, made camp fires, went to Amish county for fresh baked goods and really just relaxed by the water. You can find more about Marquette County on TravelWisconsin.com!

Sweet Treats in Sweet Home Chicago 🍫

@nutellacafechicago is celebrating their 5th anniversary and you can head to the cafe to make
your own menu items like the crepes, french toast and croissants here. All delicious and topped with Nutella!

I built my own brunch with my favorite toppings! Liege waffles topped with bananas and blueberries. Crepes with gelato, and a croissant French toast with Nutella and raspberries! The

Want to add a little Europe on your table?! Try adding @olivesatyourtable from Spain! I tried them at the National Restaurant Show last week and loved their versatility. 🫒

WIth a wide range of olive varieties, there’s a little something for everyone’s palate. I personally loved the Queen (bigger the olives, the better!) So whether you are adding them to your nightly recipes, a charcuterie board and wanting a snack, look for olives fro Spain! #campaignfinancedwithaidfromtheEU #europeatyourtable #olives #enjoyitsfromeurope

What mom really wants for everyday is sleep. And if she can’t get that, may I suggest @sparklingice WITH CAFFEINE?

With 70mg of caffeine, antioxidants and vitamins, 5 calories, and zero sugar, you can drink this on the go or all summer outside running after kids.

You can find them at your local grocery store!
