MY GIVEAWAY IS:

Ever since I moved over 15 years ago, near the Rocky Mountin region of our great county, I have always had to use a water filter dispenser that is stored in our refrigerater.  The water in our area is so hard and full of impurities, which in turn makes the water taste terrrible.  I am a certain, can't be the best to put into our bodies. 

Our water dispenser had filters that needed to be changed.  We changed them when we noticed the water tasting not so good anymore.  It was finally getting to the point our dispenser was starting to crack from years of use.  Plus, the dispenser looked terrible.  There was a large amount of build-up around the spiget where the "filtered" water came out.  This build-up would not come off.  It also made me wonder how much filtering was actually going on.

I began to search online to find a new water filter system.  But, I needed to find on that could be stored in our refrigerator and high capacity, as we go through a LOT of water everyday!  Plus a high quailty product that I would be proud to use and allow my children to use.

So my love of ZeroWater was born!  Thank you ZeroWater for this amazing opporunity and for sharing the same chance with 1 Lucky Winner!

ZeroWater sent me one of their 23 Cup Filter Dispenser Systems, that included one Ion Exchange Filter and an Electronic Tester.  A $39.99 Value....And 1 person is also going to win the same...Check below to enter and Good Luck!  Dont' forgot to enter all the other amazing Giveaways.

ZeroWater uses a Patented 5-Stage Filter vs. a Standard 2 Stage Filter (which is what my old dispenser used).  So, what does that mean?  It means ZeroWater's patented Ion Exchange System with FIVE combined technologies provide the ONLY filtered water that meets the FDA definition of purified bottled water.  I wish you could all see me smiling....as a parent.....Finally something I can used to help provide better and afforable water to my boys!

I was thrilled to find out ZeroWater removes virtually ALL dissolved soilds.  Dissolved solids are a combination of inorganic things like salt, metal and other elements.  These soilds come from natural and man-made sources like road salt, old pipes, leaves and many other things. 

So did ZeroWater make a huge difference with our hard water?

Here is our...straight out of the faucet TDS reading.....

Here is our....straight out of our old water filter system TDS reading....

Here is our....straight out of our New ZeroWater filter system TDS reading...

Our boys love that they can just push the button to enjoy a glass or two of ZeroWater.  I love the easy fill feature.  There is a large section of the lid that opens up so water can be added without a mess and quickly.  Thank you ZeroWater for making a difference in many peoples and families lives!!

Seneca Farms Oatmeal and Fruit Microwaveable Cups Giveaway / Review

My mornings always seem to get away from me.  I am able to get my boys fed and off to school and one to daycare...Hey!!!  But, what about my breakfast?

I will admit many times my breakfast, actually become lunch.  I know this is not healthy, but my life is so crazy.  I need to find something convenient, quick and filling to enjoy for breakfast.  Yes, I said enjoy.  I don't want eat something that tastes like cardboard or has a funky texture. 

I recently received some amazing breakfast options from Seneca Farms that has solved my breakfast challenges.

Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit

I first want to say I do enjoy oatmeal and sometimes prepare the instant envelope style packages with hot water for a quick meal on the go.  I will now re-think that choice, thanks to Seneca Farms.

I can't believe how quick, easy, portable and flavorful Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit truly is.  All you do is Heat.....and.......Eat.

It just takes approximately 45 seconds in the microwave  and breakfast is served (even at my desk at work).  Just remember to vent the plastic lid a little bit before warming.

This is a perfect option for me, especially since you don't have to add anything...No milk! No water!  I put a spoon in my jacket pocket along with a Seneca Oatmeal & Fruit cup and can enjoy breakfast anytime I want.

I was provided a 2 pack of Vanilla Peach flavored and Apple Cinnamon to review....and will be giving away the same to one lucky winner!!!

The Vanilla Peach was my favorite!  It made me feel like I was at a peach orchard enjoying a nutritious breakfast.  Especially since each cup is an excellent source of Vitamin C and doesn't contain trans fat or cholesterol.  The texture of the oatmeal was nice and smooth, but not mushy.  It was enjoyable flavor wise and mouth feel.  One cup of Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit kept me going all morning long.

The Apple Cinnamon was tasty and had a perfect balance of cinnamon and apple.  I enjoyed the cinnamon did not over power the oatmeal flavors.  I can't wait to try the Cranberry Apple and Maple Brown Sugar.  I just have to find a local store that carries them.  But Seneca Farms has made locating a store easy with their store list.

Quick get a jump start of this great giveaway and follow Seneca Farms on Twitter and Facebook.

Ok, now that you  have done that....get busy below and enter for your chance to win some amazing and convenient Seneca Farms Oatmeal & Fruit.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Mom Blog Society Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Proud and Faithful Spira Shoes Ambassador - 30% Discount Code

I believe God has a master plan...and sometimes that master plan can have a lot of twists and turns and bumps and bruises....but don't let me forget to mention, he also balances out life with blessings and joyous times.

Looking back at my 30+ years (yes, girls!  Don't ever let people know your age!)..I should write a book.  Wow, I can't believe I am still here smiling and working out thanks to Spira Shoes (more details to follow and an amazing 30% Discount Code).

Let's see...so far in my short life I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, three beautiful boys, an amazing family that taught me faith...strength...perseverance...and pride, my dream career, setting records with my passion for running and physical fitness...

But on the flip side of this coin...my blessings had caused some pretty major and minor bumps in the road like major back injury which almost ended my dream career, 3 complicated pregnancies and 3 C-sections to get my beautiful boys here, Cervical Cancer (found out while pregnant with my 3rd son) and recent knee surgery because of too much running over the years (this is only sharing some of the highlights).

My recent knee surgery has really taken its toll on my body.  It was a long and challenging rehab and I still am not back to where I would like to be.  I attempted to work out after rehab, and even bought a new pair of shoes.  My knee ached so bad I couldn't get on the floor to play with my children.  Going up and downstairs was a daily routine I dreaded.  My workouts began to dwindle.

But there I, was a few days after Christmas at a Bake Shop in my community, picking up rolls for breakfast.  The woman who ran the business stopped and asked how my knee was doing after surgery.  I shared my story....She showed me a pair of Spira shoes she was wearing.  She told me all about how they have helped her after her knee surgeries.  She wrote down on the back of a customer ticket Spira.com and handed it to me. 

She told me her Spira Shoes were worth all the money she spent on them.  I was surprised to hear her encourage me to check out Spira's website and see what would be the best for my knee.  I waited a few more weeks and went online to learn about Spira Shoes.

I was intrigued by Spira's Wave Spring Technology.  Spira^® puts a real spring in your step with its patented WaveSpring^® Technology. The cushioning system offers energy return while providing a reduction in stress and fatigue. Whether you run, walk or must stand on your feet all day, Spira^® offers the ultimate in cushioning and comfort.

Spira took a chance on me and allowed me to become a Spira Ambassador.  Which gives me the chance to share an amazing discount code for 30% off your entire order from Spira.com!  Just use code "fishfulblg" to get your 30% off! I know you will LOVE your Spira's as much as I do!!

They sent me out two pair of their Spira shoes...one being the Women's Odyssey Running Shoe to review.

I wanted to wait and give my Spira Odyssey Shoes a real try before sharing my experiences so far.  Well, it has been a month now...and guess what?  I have worked out 25 of the last 30 days!!!  I am so excited.  My knee is doing amazing, compared to where I was at.  I haven't tried running yet, as I am working to get all the kinks out and back into shape.  I have been doing a Treadclimber, Elliptical Machine, Walking work out program on DVD and a Dance Work out program.   

The amount of impact my Spira Shoes absorb is outstanding and at times doesn't seem possible...but I am living proof it is!  Keep watching to see my progress with my Spira Odyssey Running Shoes.

Don't forget to enjoy 30% off your next order from Spira by using my discount code fishfulblg .  I would love to hear what you think?  What shoes you bought?  What differences you have experienced.
