Back Once Again & Ready To Get Started

(This imagine does not belong to The Semi-Normal Mom)

Ahhhh Hello Spring and Good Bye Winter!!!

Although we did not have much of a Winter where I'm at. We really haven't had Winter at where I'm at in over 20+ year's, at least since I was a child, or maybe my late teens. 

Anyway's I had barely gotten started on this blog and had barely made any posts. In fact I believe I only had two posts that I had actually gotten published before my computer went ka-put.....

And as such I hadn't been able to get a new computer until recently. And I only had access to the internet via my phone and sometimes my kids kindles. Which also caused other problems because I only had use of their kindles during school hours and even then they didn't have much storage room for pictures and such. They also tended to break their kindles a bunch also. So I was only able to use their kindles for my other blog which is a book blog!!!!

But anyway's I am back and hopefully can get back with the blogging on this blog without any further issues!!!!

So where I'm at it is Spring Break time for my kids. We haven't gotten to do much this Spring Break as on Monday and Tuesday it was gloomy and rainy. It finally started to warm up a bit on Wednesday. Than we were dealing with some issues with our dog. On Tuesday night I saw some slight bruising on his abdomen area, which completely and totally freaked me out. Me being me had to google his symptoms (yes I googled my dog's symptoms) and thought the worse. And was worried we'd have to say good-bye to our pup!!!! Luckily when we took him to the Vets yesterday we found out that he was fine and the coloring I found wasn't bruising and was completely normal!!!!

Now that we only have a few day's left of Spring Break we our finding ourselfs having to drive up to my hometown to get my oldest son his birth certificate. I have been procrastinating getting it for a few months now. But its time to get it, because I have to get him a Passport, as he's supposed to be going to Italy with my father and his wife this summer.  Which is going to be an awesome opportunity for him and one I never had the chance to get when I was his age.

My Review:

So as soon as I saw this product I knew I had to try it. I have honestly these last couple of years, ever since hitting over 30 years old had a bunch of health issues come up. Especially within this past year even more. When I recently had my vital's taken I was told that I was a little bit overweight and was at very high risk for diabetes. I think the thing that shocked me the most with the whole thing was me being overweight. I'm not a big person at all, in fact I'm actually kind of skinny (but not in an unnatural way or anything). I think it had to do with more of what my height is and what my weight is. And of course I'm extremely concerned at the risk of having diabetes. So right than and there I decided I need to take control of my life and start living a healthier lifestyle. 

When I saw this product I thought it would be a perfect start to helping me get back in control of my life with the portion  control container's. I love the fact that these container's are BPA free, so I don't have all that nasty stuff going into my food. I love that it had separate container's for your food. So you know if your one of those people who don't like your food to touch. Or if you just don't want certain foods in your lunch to mix. Or maybe if you have a salad and of course don't want to ruin it by already having the salad dressing on it. You can put the dressing in a different container. 

I really enjoyed the fact that it came quickly after ordering. I also thought that the shaker bottle for a drink was great to have come with it. So at least I didn't have to order that as extra. Also it comes with a freezer pack in it so you can freeze that overnight and keep your stuff cold when it comes to using this lunch bag. And at least also this way you don't have to order any freezer packs for it either.

I'm giving this lunch box 4 Stars out of 5 and would recommend it!!!!

My kids, especially my boy's love Lego's. They love everything Lego, if a new set of Lego's 

comes out the automatically want me to get them for them. My oldest who is very artistic and talented with anything he does (not trying to brag or anything), no but seriously if you give him some paper and pencils he can free hand anything.
