LUNA'S LOVES



This post is sponsored by McDonald’s, but the opinions expressed here are my own. The new McCafé espresso menu is available at participating McDonald’s.

If I am completely honest, I can get a little grumpy in the mornings before I am actually completely awake. Once my husband was trying to be so sweet and made breakfast in bed for me. Both the dog and daughter were also in bed with me. Well, my daughter grabbed my egg and threw it on the bed and immediately my dog jumped at the right moment and ate my breakfast. Needless to say I was angry and this was all before my morning cup.
Being a mom, I take my coffee seriously. Sometimes I only get a few precious moments to myself before the day starts moving. Motherhood comes with a lot of growing and sacrifices, but I’ve learned that it is still important to treat yourself once in awhile. When I want to treat myself, I start with coffee. As you know, nothing comes before coffee. I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I have partnered with McDonald’s to help spread the word about their newly re-crafted McCafé menu items. The new McCafé espresso menu provides quality espresso that actually has flavor, value, and convenience. What I love about McCafé is its accessibility. I can always find a McDonald’s near by which makes my life a whole lot easier. Their menu items also have variety and it’s affordable, because this momma’s on a budget!

So if you need a moment to yourself like I do, go to McDonald’s and treat yourself to a small McCafé beverage for only $2 (a la carte only. Limited time only at participating McDonald’s. Can not be combined with any other offer or combo meal.). You can find a variety of drink flavors like Caramel Macchiato, Peppermint Mocha (Available November 7 - December), or Vanilla Cappuccino. Also, when you buy 5 any size McCafé beverages, you get one any sized McCafé beverages free with the McDonald's App (Valid 1/18/17 - 12/31/17. McDonald's App download and registration is required At participating McDonald’s). 
Come on guys, you deserve it. Because nothing comes before coffee.

There's this thing that continually happened with kids- they change constantly. And I guess, yeah I did realize it, but when this tiny human that I am always learning suddenly does something new it can be exciting and terrifying at the same time. I remember when we started Ryan- Kate's sleep training, I felt like I was going to go crazy. She was asking for milk a lot and only wanting to be in our bed, and we finally just toughed it out for a few nights and with in a week she was sleeping through the night. Recently, we had to go through the same thing again with her "big girl bed." I watch her through the baby monitor and it takes everything within me to not go to her when she asks for me. 
Transitions feel rough, and for me, I feel like I am going crazy while I am in the middle of it. Hopefully, when you are trying to get off these bottles and onto sippy cups it isn't as hard as it was for us like it was with sleep training. So, I am partnering with Twistshake to give all those mamas out there who are interested 30% off on their site for any pastel item or up to 40% off on their neon line through December. My daughter loves the color purple right now, so Twistshake is a current favorite i n our home right now. Just use the code lunasallett30 at checkout. there is also an additional discount on their neon line. When you purchase over $25 you will receive FREE shipping! Go check out it out!

Happy weekends, friends! I put together this rad shoot with my husband and had the hardest time narrowing down photos, so I hope that you enjoy looking through all of these. I have a pretty jumbled random brain and figured I would share some casual thoughts with everyone. Here I go: 

  1. Is it pa-JAM-us or pa-JAW-mus? I'm still sorting that one out. 
  2. Wear what makes you feel good. I am convinced that my mood shifts if I don't like my outfit. One day I feel edgy, the next I feel basic. So I just roll with it.
  3. Never underestimate a good pair of underwear. 
  4. I believe ever women should have black heels and red lipstick in her closet. They are and easy way to look chic and effortless. 
  5. Always have a good playlist on hand. You won't regret it.
  6. There is always room in the desert stomach. 
  7. Legs, midriff, or cleavage. You can do one, but never all three.

If I'm honest, I live by an 80/20 rule for my life. 80% of the time I am putting in the work to eat clean, exercise, or check what is in my products. But there are a lot of times where I don't have that luxury or I don't care to care. You know what I mean? Sometimes I what a greasy burger, a fruity cocktail, and desert. Because there's always room in the desert stomach. It's helpful for me to have snacks on hand. So I am sharing this recipe of these Easy Almond Butter Energy Bites. I usually put a few in my purse when I know that I am going to be out and might be hungry. I hope you enjoy!
Easy Almond Butter Energy Bites:

Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Almond Butter
  • 1/4 Cup Honey
  • 3 Cups of Oats
  • 3 Tbs Cacao Powder
  • 1 Tbs Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbs Maca (optional)
  1. Put the almond butter and honey in a bowl and mix together. Slowly stir in 3 cups of oats.
  2. Form mixture into balls that are 1 inch wide. 
  3. Mix the cacao and cinnamon together. and coat each ball with the mixture. 
  4. Place energy balls on a baking sheet and chill for at least 1 hour. 
  5. Enjoy!
