My oldest daughter and I share one big love, coffee! For her, selections were somewhat limited at one time since she is lactose intolerant. Once she found RISE Brewing Co. Oat Milk Vanilla Latte, her fondness for java was renewed with a fierceness. #Ad, #risebrewingcoFYI
This nitrogen-infused cold brew latte from @risebrewingco enhances their signature organic coffee with a dash of dairy-free oat milk and organic vanilla extract from Madagascar. It's creamy, slightly sweet and refreshingly smooth. It's all good. http://gofyi.ly/5DBA670A

Traveling is my passion, desire and everything I wanted to do in life besides being a mom. Though sometimes, especially during the holidays heading to new destinations with three grumpy teens and a tween can be a little stressful. This can make my anxiety and panic attacks which I try to hide come to the forefront. I learned over the last year that CBD can oftentimes help provide that bit of calm that I need to to get through it all and get back on track enjoying all that life and family has to offer.
Hemp Bombs offer a great selection of products including award-winning CBD gummies, lollipops (my newest fav as I do love a good lolli), Max Chill CBD Shots and even dog treats (Boomer's favorite as he tends to have that perfect husky personality)! They are a go to for all things CBD for us. #hempbombsactivate #sponsored
