  DRINK DRINK DRINK Lets be real, I have a hard time staying hydrated and drinking enough water. In fact I suck at drinking water. Throughout the day I’ll chug glasses of water. I have a big water jug that I try to fill up and that way I can monitor my water intake and have “goals” but its always been a chore. Dehydration Did you know that 75% of Americans suffer from chronic dehydration? When you are dehydrated you lose salts that are essential for body function. Now add working out to the mix! Just think about how much you sweat and how easily you can become dehydrated. Liquid I.V. uses a specific ratio of sodium, glucose and potassium, to deliver water and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, which hydrates you faster. The electrolytes allow water to be absorbed in the upper digestive system more effectively. Liquid I.V. can provide the same hydration as 2-3 bottles of water. BAM! Sign me up!  Lifestyle I live in Arizona and it feels like its always summer here, which means 100+ temperatures everyday. Its HOT and we sweat a lot! Liquid I.V. has been a lifesaver for the boys and I. I have a general rule, if a supplement is not safe for my boys to drink then it probably isn’t all that great for me either. I absolutely LOVE that my boys can drink Liquid I.V. too. It has way less sugar than sports drinks and NO artificial flavors or sweeteners and is also Non-GMO. It also has 3x the electrolytes as your average sports drink, which makes it a great alternative to “juice” for my boys! I don’t have any privacy as a mom to two little kids. They share my food, my drinks, my treats, my bed, my showers, my toilet…they are ALWAYS THERE. My water is their water! So important that it is a safe alternate for them as well.  Pregnancy and Liquid I.V. Obviously I am pregnant and into my second trimester. I suffer from muscle cramps, you know, those awful cramps you get in the middle of the night that wake you up! I also get restless leg syndrome when pregnant. I go to bed and my legs are restless---its torture!!! Let me tell you my secret cure--- LIQUID I.V.!!! Yes! Dead serious since ive been drinking more water and sprinkling Liquid I.V. in my water my leg cramps and restless leg syndrome have improved tremendously! Liquid I.V. contains more vitamin c than an orange, vitamin B3, B5, B6, and B12, and also potassium, which has been shown to prevent muscle cramps! You know what they say is the number one cure for nausea during pregnancy? You got it B12!! I had so much nausea in my 1st trimester, more nausea than my previous pregnancies combined. I put Liquid I.V. in my water and it helped a lot with my nausea. I don’t recommend products unless I 100% believe in it. Well let me tell you, this supplement has really improved my quality of life while pregnant this time around!  Convenience Even if I know something is good for me, if it is not convenient, then I wont take it. I juggle mom life and in between have 2 busy jobs. I am ALWAYS on the go and always running late ;) I barely have time to take my vitamins. Liquid I.V. comes in a portable stick pack that you can take anywhere; you can put it in your pocket or throw it in your bag. It’s been a lifesaver for me! Other Benefits of Liquid I.V. Helps increase performance Helps fight jet lag Helps burn more calories Helps increase mental clarity Helps reduce signs of aging To purchase Liquid I.V.

Sometimes you just need to escape the concrete jungle and go on a road trip!! With kids this can seem overwhelming and daunting. Are the kids going to behave in the car? Are they going to scream and cry the entire 6 hour drive? Take the plunge!!! Put all those doubts aside and get in the car and go!!! Don't let fear ever hold you back from going on your next adventure!
Tate has always been a tough car rider ever since he was born. The thought of going on a trip with him screaming and crying always stresses me out. However once we got the new SironaM Cybex carseat, I knew we needed to take a trip to give it a try! I have gone through my share of carseats. Believe me... I have an arsenal of clanky, heavy, obnoxious carseats sitting in the garage. Im a bargain shopper. I go shopping and find a carseat thats on sale. However we all know that its not always the best idea to skimp on safety or comfortability. I have learned the hard way. The SironaM carseat has been a LIFESAVER. Tate has never been happier. Its so much comfortable than his previous seat. The safety features in the Cybex are TOP NOTCH. The SironaM wth SensorSafe2.0 integrates important safety technology into the chest clip of the carseat to alert you when an unsafe situations arises. It monitors the well being of the child by alerting you through the vehicle receiver or the smartphone app, if the child unbuckles himself or if you forget your child in the car. This is a great tool for preventing the uprising number of infant hot car deaths. 
We spend a lot of time in the car. As you know my boys ONLY nap in the car and having a comfortable seat is a concern for me! Carseat safety is something that I am passionate about and something that can save a child's life. Its an investment worth making!
Thank you Cybex for safely taking us on a road trip we will not soon forget!! We had an amazing time and Tate didn't cry the entire way there!! PRICELESS.
Thank you Cybex for kindly sponsoring this.
