Reebok athletic shoes at Famous Footwear

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Reebok. I received a Famous Footwear gift card to purchase a pair of Reebok shoes to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.”


This summer, I have been walking 2 miles at least 5 days a week. More like speed walking at an almost running pace.  Because of all this walking, I have lost a ton of weight after having Jacey last summer and toned up quite a bit.  I feel better also.

The shoes I was wearing for my walks were heavy and have began falling apart. It made it difficult to continue walking , so I decided to check out Famous Footwear and get a new pair of Reebok Shoes.

I was impressed with all the choices Famous Footwear had to offer. When I walked in I immediately drawn to the Reebok Realflex run shoes in Grey/Sherbet/Coral.

They are super lightweight (which I love)  and they feature a mesh upper style which makes them very breathable. Some other great features of these shoes are they have a cushioning footbed and a flexible realflex outsole with forefoot flex grooves. Not to mention they are very trendy and stylish.

You would be surprised to learn that this is my first time wearing reebok athletic shoes. I am very happy I chose reebok. My favorite thing about these shoes are how lightweight and breathable they are. My feet feel great when I get back from my daily walks and they have held up very well so far. I will definitely be buying reeboks again in the future and recommend that you try them as well. They make awesome walking/running shoes. You can find a large selection of their shoes at Famous Footwear both in store and online.

With all the back to school craziness and prepping my own son for kindergarten, it was really nice to treat myself to a new pair of shoes! Check out all the Reebok athletic shoes at Famous Footwear. You are sure to find the perfect pair for you.

Review and Silent auction for the Contours Options LT tandem stroller RV $269.99

"I was sent a  Contours Options LT tandem stroller to review. All opinions are my own"

It has been a pain going different places. I put my daughter in a single stroller and after a while my son complains his legs are tired.  Pushing 2 strollers is out of the question, so I began looking into tandem options.  I found a great tandem stroller the Contours Options LT tandem stroller.

Features

• Lightweight design - only 33.8 lbs. with both seats on
• Six different seating options: children can both face you, face each other, face forward, sit back to back, or you can use the stroller with just the front seat (& extra storage space in the back), or use with some of the most popular infant car seats
• Includes one infant car seat adapter that accommodates many infant car seats, including select models from Britax®, Chicco®, Combi®, Cosco®, Evenflo®, Graco®, Maxi-Cosi®, Peg Perego®, Safety First®
• Folds easily with both seats on
• Never-flat 8” front wheels and 10” rear wheels
• Front-wheel suspension system provides a smooth ride and easy maneuverability

• Accommodates one or two infants/children up to 40 lbs. each (80 lbs. total)
• Independent reclining seats with canopies, adjustable leg rests, and a child napper bar that rotates and removes for easy access
• Stadium style seating for a better view from both seats
• Each seat has a height-adjustable 5-point safety harness and includes an infant headrest to protect little heads
• Adjustable parent cup holder that flexes to accommodate large or small drinks
• The auto-lock and convenient Free-Stand™ allows the stroller to easily stand upright when folded
• Extra-large storage basket holds everyone’s gear
• One-year manufacturer warranty

The Contours Options LT tandem stroller comes shipped in several pieces but

assembly is super easy. No tools required everything just snaps into place. Directions are super easy to follow. 

We love that it comes with the infant seat adapter and then when your youngest moves out of the infant seat you can replace it with the 2nd included seat. This allows the stroller to be used from birth to 40 lbs. You will get several years use out of this stroller. 

The other great feature is the ability to turn the seats in all directions. meaning you can face the seats toward or away from you as well as toward each other. even the foot rests are adjustable. They can be switched with just a simple click on and off. This is a very versatile stroller. Contours thought of everything when they made this stroller. 

Just a note: in order to fold both seats must face forward and you have to make sure the rear seat foot rest is folded all the way down. 

 It maneuvers smoothly. I am impressed how easy it turns corners.  

It has a large storage bin on the bottom that is accessible between the two seats.   

It comes in 3 color options 

Crimson ( red and black) ,  Hudson ( green and grey) and Valencia ( yellow and grey)

Tea Gallerie Luxury Tea

"I was provided tea samples for my review. All opinions are my own"

 One thing you don't know about me is my love for tea. Hot or cold it doesn't matter but tea is my first drink choice. I specifically like the black and white tea varieties.


Recently, I discovered a great website www.teagallerie.com that has a collection of 100+ high quality and organic teas to choose from.  The loose leaf teas come in black, green, herbal, chai, white and they even have a kids variety that has no caffeine. 

The last couple of mornings I have been enjoying their earl grey cream tea. It has just the right hint of vanilla flavor. It's a fantastic breakfast tea. You know a great tea when its rich in flavors and this is one great tea.  

I highly recommend you visit tea gallerie's website and check out all the teas the offer. They are priced great and shipping is quick. I received mine in 3 days.
