👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to 👉🏻👉🏻SWIPE to see all of the Things to Know About Getting Passports & Renewing (tips for kids too!)

1- You MUST have a checkbook!🤯 They do not take digital payments right now or debit or credit card payments. You mail the check in with your application.

2- You need your ACTUAL Birth Certificate (or your kid’s). No copies allowed. You will mail it in. They will mail it back to you.

3- Your Passport technically expires for some countries 6 months before the expiration date listed! A lot of countries will NOT let you travel to their country if you are within the last 6 months of passport validity. So always renew before that 6 month window so you don’t run into any issues!

4- We had a bad experience one time NOT paying to expedite. It took MONTHS to get our passports. So we always pay to expedite now. Expediting is supposed to be 2-3 weeks from the time the passport office receives your passport. If they are backed up, it will take longer than that, even with being expedited.

5- For kids, BOTH PARENTS listed on the Birth Certificate have to go to the Passport Appointment and SIGN IN PERSON in front of them. (Or fill out a signed notarized waiver)

6- You will mail in your current passport. But they will mail it back to you, marked as invalid a few weeks after you get your new passport in the mail. So you can keep the old passport for memories.

7- EACH Passport gets mailed to your home individually, by itself. They will mail all documents you sent, like Birth Certificates, expired Passports, etc, back to you a few weeks later.  So don’t freak out if it isn’t all in the same envelope.

8- We used to do our own Passport Photos at Walgreens or whatever, but not anymore. We had too many issues with the quality of the pictures and had to re-pay to have them done at the Passport Office. So now we just let the Passport Office take the pictures there, so we don’t have our passports delayed due to a bad picture. (They can be really strict with smiles, if the eyes aren’t open enough)

LOVE when a Product Test goes like this!🤩 I had LOVE when a Product Test goes like this!🤩 I had no idea what to expect but kept seeing it everywhere on my feed. So I purchased it to test it and once I saw the results, I reached out for an exclusive deal for all of us! And they agreed to give us one! YAY🎉

💬Comment LINK and I will shoot you the deal code & info!

You will want the entire Green Mitt Kit in order to clean any of your soft surfaces.

⭐️GREEN MITT KIT INCLUDES:
👉🏻32 oz. Heavy Duty Spray Bottle
👉🏻16 oz. Super Concentrate (This actually makes 16 bottles!) 
👉🏻16 oz. Spot & Stain Remover for hard to remove stains
👉🏻1 Green Mitt

Reg Cost $110, on sale for $94.99, our code drops it to $79.99! So it’s actually $30 cheaper than normal!🙌🏻

💥I know the cost seems high, but it technically makes SIXTEEN 32-ounce BOTTLES!👏🏻👏🏻 And gives you the Cleaning Mitt and the Spot & Stain Remover for heavy stains as well. So it should last you for a very long time and clean everything! Not to mention it’s non-toxic! Split it with a mom or a friend if you need to! But I think you might realize you have a lot of things you can finally clean with it😉

Brady and I have this thing where we ask each othe Brady and I have this thing where we ask each other “On a scale from 1-10, how important is this to you?” It makes it so much easier to really see how much someone cares about something or wants it… is it a 5/10 or a 10/10, you know?

Brady has wanted a Rottweiler for YEARS. But I didn’t realize (or ask) until recently how much he wanted one… he said it was a a 10 out of 10. So for his Birthday in May, even though I am not a dog lover, and I’m so worried about shedding and all the things that go with a dog😵‍💫, this was his present. And my husband and kids could not be happier!

But this puppy is such a cutie! 

So say “Hi” to Audi!🐾🐶 And wish me luck on having a puppy🤪

She’s getting WAY too big to keep quiet now when I’m sharing my deal stories. So you’re gonna start seeing & hearing her in the background.😂

We needed some “us” time and we never celebrat We needed some “us” time and we never celebrated our Anniversary. So we did a quick Vegas getaway✈️

✨Talked Brady into The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere. Definitely a cool 4D idea! Just wished they had MORE things in the show. But I did catch an apple that fell from the sky! Definitely one of the very few Rated “G” shows on the strip good for families, in case you are looking for one.

✨Went to an Early Dinner at the Mayfair Supper Club at The Bellagio. (Don’t go after 10pm, or you’ll get a more scandalous version)

💰HOW WE SAVED:

✨Tried the Wynn/Encore Resort this time and we actually booked through Delta Stays to capitalize on our FREE $250 Statement Credit by using our Delta AMEX Reserve Card. (It’s the one I always tell you guys about👏🏻) 

AND, Delta Stays was doing a promotion to earn MQD’s to hit Medallion status. So we definitely took advantage of that little secret gem!🎉

AND, using Delta Stays was cheaper than booking directly through Wynn’s website, which is pretty rare! (Saved us $400!)

And it came with their FREE Buffet each day of our stay! (Worth $414!)

So um yeah, Delta Stays for the win guys! On your next trip, don’t forget to see if they have a better deal/promo going 👊🏻Feel free to SAVE this post to help you remember to try it!

💥HURRY, BIG SALE! And Proof that it does work a 💥HURRY, BIG SALE! And Proof that it does work and gets rid of fine lines & wrinkles as fast as 3 weeks?🤯

Asked my husband to be our Guinea Pig Product Tester since he was a Botox Virgin….I wanted to have a very transparent and clear  before/after testing period, in the same lighting, same time of day, same location, same angle of the face, so we could see if there really were any changes with fine lines & wrinkles using F59 and after testing we can officially say that F59 REALLY DOES WORK!🤩

💬Comment DEAL below and I’ll shoot you the deal link to your DM’s! This is a limited-time sale and it could sell out since we haven’t seen a deal like this since the beginning of January!

FYI: This is a really rare deal! So if you’ve wanted to try it, I’ve been waiting months and months for them to do a deal like this!

    My husband and I are planning to take our kids to Yellowstone this summer. Thankfully we're close enough to drive. One thing that a friend of mine does is they will actually eat in the hotel for breakfast (if the hotel doesn't have a free breakfast then she will actually buy cereal and stuff to eat in their room) and then they pack a lunch to take with them. Something to remember is that you dont' have to go to some big location to do a vacation. You don't have to pay thousands of dollars. If all you can save is $50 a month that's still $600 at the end of the month which is enough to do a 3 day vacation (2 nights in a hotel) as long as your driving and smart with your food money.

    My husband wants us to go to Tokyo in 2020. He originally wanted to go to the Olympics, but I'm trying to convince him that our first overseas vacation to a non English speaking country maybe shouldn't be at a crazy busy time. I'm probably more interested in seeing Japan than he is anyway, and I would rather be able to actually do things. I haven't done a lot of planning yet, but I hope we can stay for a few weeks and travel outside Tokyo as well. Our next big trip after Tokyo will probably be Sydney, but we haven't decided when. If I can talk my husband out of the 2020 Olympics then we'll probably go to the LA Olympics instead, which I still consider a big trip since we're on the east coast. We went to LA and Disneyland last year and airfare was so expensive we had to drive to Atlanta to catch a more affordable flight.

    March 22, 2018 at 7:19 pm

1- You MUST have a checkbook!🤯 They do not take digital payments right now or debit or credit card payments. You mail the check in with your application.

2- You need your ACTUAL Birth Certificate (or your kid’s). No copies allowed. You will mail it in. They will mail it back to you.

3- Your Passport technically expires for some countries 6 months before the expiration date listed! A lot of countries will NOT let you travel to their country if you are within the last 6 months of passport validity. So always renew before that 6 month window so you don’t run into any issues!

4- We had a bad experience one time NOT paying to expedite. It took MONTHS to get our passports. So we always pay to expedite now. Expediting is supposed to be 2-3 weeks from the time the passport office receives your passport. If they are backed up, it will take longer than that, even with being expedited.

5- For kids, BOTH PARENTS listed on the Birth Certificate have to go to the Passport Appointment and SIGN IN PERSON in front of them. (Or fill out a signed notarized waiver)

6- You will mail in your current passport. But they will mail it back to you, marked as invalid a few weeks after you get your new passport in the mail. So you can keep the old passport for memories.

7- EACH Passport gets mailed to your home individually, by itself. They will mail all documents you sent, like Birth Certificates, expired Passports, etc, back to you a few weeks later.  So don’t freak out if it isn’t all in the same envelope.

8- We used to do our own Passport Photos at Walgreens or whatever, but not anymore. We had too many issues with the quality of the pictures and had to re-pay to have them done at the Passport Office. So now we just let the Passport Office take the pictures there, so we don’t have our passports delayed due to a bad picture. (They can be really strict with smiles, if the eyes aren’t open enough)

⭐️Feel free to SAVE this video for the next time you are getting Passports so you don’t make a mistake! And if you learned anything new, ❤️HEART this post for me! 🫶🏻
LOVE when a Product Test goes like this!🤩 I had LOVE when a Product Test goes like this!🤩 I had no idea what to expect but kept seeing it everywhere on my feed. So I purchased it to test it and once I saw the results, I reached out for an exclusive deal for all of us! And they agreed to give us one! YAY🎉

💬Comment LINK and I will shoot you the deal code & info!

You will want the entire Green Mitt Kit in order to clean any of your soft surfaces.

⭐️GREEN MITT KIT INCLUDES:
👉🏻32 oz. Heavy Duty Spray Bottle
👉🏻16 oz. Super Concentrate (This actually makes 16 bottles!) 
👉🏻16 oz. Spot & Stain Remover for hard to remove stains
👉🏻1 Green Mitt

Reg Cost $110, on sale for $94.99, our code drops it to $79.99! So it’s actually $30 cheaper than normal!🙌🏻

💥I know the cost seems high, but it technically makes SIXTEEN 32-ounce BOTTLES!👏🏻👏🏻 And gives you the Cleaning Mitt and the Spot & Stain Remover for heavy stains as well. So it should last you for a very long time and clean everything! Not to mention it’s non-toxic! Split it with a mom or a friend if you need to! But I think you might realize you have a lot of things you can finally clean with it😉

Brady and I have this thing where we ask each othe Brady and I have this thing where we ask each other “On a scale from 1-10, how important is this to you?” It makes it so much easier to really see how much someone cares about something or wants it… is it a 5/10 or a 10/10, you know?

Brady has wanted a Rottweiler for YEARS. But I didn’t realize (or ask) until recently how much he wanted one… he said it was a a 10 out of 10. So for his Birthday in May, even though I am not a dog lover, and I’m so worried about shedding and all the things that go with a dog😵‍💫, this was his present. And my husband and kids could not be happier!

But this puppy is such a cutie! 

So say “Hi” to Audi!🐾🐶 And wish me luck on having a puppy🤪

She’s getting WAY too big to keep quiet now when I’m sharing my deal stories. So you’re gonna start seeing & hearing her in the background.😂

We needed some “us” time and we never celebrat We needed some “us” time and we never celebrated our Anniversary. So we did a quick Vegas getaway✈️

✨Talked Brady into The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere. Definitely a cool 4D idea! Just wished they had MORE things in the show. But I did catch an apple that fell from the sky! Definitely one of the very few Rated “G” shows on the strip good for families, in case you are looking for one.

✨Went to an Early Dinner at the Mayfair Supper Club at The Bellagio. (Don’t go after 10pm, or you’ll get a more scandalous version)

💰HOW WE SAVED:

✨Tried the Wynn/Encore Resort this time and we actually booked through Delta Stays to capitalize on our FREE $250 Statement Credit by using our Delta AMEX Reserve Card. (It’s the one I always tell you guys about👏🏻) 

AND, Delta Stays was doing a promotion to earn MQD’s to hit Medallion status. So we definitely took advantage of that little secret gem!🎉

AND, using Delta Stays was cheaper than booking directly through Wynn’s website, which is pretty rare! (Saved us $400!)

And it came with their FREE Buffet each day of our stay! (Worth $414!)

So um yeah, Delta Stays for the win guys! On your next trip, don’t forget to see if they have a better deal/promo going 👊🏻Feel free to SAVE this post to help you remember to try it!

Asked my husband to be our Guinea Pig Product Tester since he was a Botox Virgin….I wanted to have a very transparent and clear  before/after testing period, in the same lighting, same time of day, same location, same angle of the face, so we could see if there really were any changes with fine lines & wrinkles using F59 and after testing we can officially say that F59 REALLY DOES WORK!🤩
